COMMUNITY STRUCTURE

Sun Rivers is served by the CSROA (Community of Sun Rivers Owners Association),designed to meet the needs of the community over the long term. Common interests of the residents are addressed through a community association and representative neighbourhood associations. www.mysunrivers.com

The CSROA Board of Directors administers the Community guidelines and manages the common interests, lands and amenities for the benefit of residents. Every neighbourhood at Sun Rivers has architectural design guidelines to ensure investor certainty and enduring value over time.

Similar to a strata-title development all owners pay a community common area maintenance fee which provides for the resort level of maintenance and community amenities such as the entrance landscape and water feature, paths, street lighting, community decorations etc.

Each Neighbourhood Association is represented at the Community level (CSROA) by the Neighbourhood President. The Board of Directors for each neighbourhood administer their neighbourhood guidelines and manage the common interests within their neighbourhood. Residents in adult communities and townhome neighbourhoods pay additional costs for their neighbourhood fees as they typically have more common areas and services within their neighbourhood. These fees may include individual property landscaping, neighbourhood landscaping, shared exterior and roof maintenance such as in townhomes, and other convenience and lifestyle services that may be specific to their neighbourhood.

THE LEASE

In 1995 the Tk’emlups First Nation made an important economic development decision and voted by a landslide margin of 74% to sell the leasehold interest in the site now known as Sun Rivers. This provided for a portion of its reserve land to be reverted back to the federal government to be held jointly with the First Nation for leasing. Today this prime parcel of real estate overlooking the City of Kamloops and South Thompson River has become Sun Rivers, one of Canada’s most innovative resort communities. Experts consider this lease agreement to be one of the most comprehensive and secure ever established.

Sun Rivers holds the 99-year head lease and the head landlord is ‘His Majesty the King in right of Canada’ (the Crown). The lease has been structured to most fully protect the investments of the homeowners, the investors, the lenders and Sun Rivers. Purchasers secure their interest through the purchase of a registered leasehold title which secures their interest for the term of the lease in accordance with the rights and obligations outlined in the lease.

LOCAL GOVERNMENT

The Tk’emlúps te Secwepemc First Nation is the local government and like any municipality collects property taxes and provides and arranges for services to the community. Services include 911, fire protection, police protection, library access, schools and busing, paramedic and ambulance service, hospitals and public health and recreation in the City of Kamloops.

Services are provided through the First Nation and a number of servicing arrangements with service providers such as the City of Kamloops and Corix Multi-Utility Services.

Property taxes are paid to the Tk’emlúps te Secwépemc First Nation. The precedent-setting Head Lease, Sub-Lease and Master Development and Servicing Agreement clearly sets out the process by which taxes for services are levied. Sun Rivers’ residents pay property tax rates that are reasonably comparable to the City of Kamloops rates. The rate setting is based on assessed values determined by the BC Assessment Authority. Sun Rivers residents are eligible to apply for Homeowner grants.

Sun Rivers is outside the City of Kamloops boundaries but within the boundaries of the TNRD (Thompson Nicola Regional District). Sun Rivers residents may vote in the TNRD elections.

What You Will See at the Show Home

The show home is a finished example of a Ladera townhome — a walk-through of one complete unit, with the final interior finishes, fixtures, and millwork installed. Visitors enter through the full-height sidelite front door into an open-concept main floor. Nine-foot ceilings, large windows, and southern exposure run through the main living spaces.

The primary bedroom and ensuite are open to walk through, along with additional bedrooms, the lower level, and the outdoor spaces. Staff on site can point out the heated tile flooring in the ensuite, the integrated hardware package, and the custom wall detailing in select locations, and answer questions about the specific floor plan on display.

The show home represents one of the three interior colour palettes available to homeowners. Visitors interested in the other palettes can compare materials and discuss the options with staff during a visit.

Location

The show home is located at 5032 Sun Rivers Drive, Kamloops, BC. On-site parking is available directly in front of the show home.

About the Homes at Ladera

The show home is one unit in a larger development. The sections below cover what Ladera offers more broadly — the floor plans available, construction details, and finish options — so visitors can see where the show home fits into the wider project.

Interior Colour Palettes

Three interior colour palettes are available to homeowners, each finalized as part of the project's design work. The show home is finished in one of the three; all three can be compared in person during a visit, either through the installed finishes in the show home or through material samples on hand with the sales team.

Flax — Warm, natural, and timeless, with soft wood tones and an inviting, relaxed feel.
Cotton — Fresh, minimal, and classic, balancing light cabinetry with clean, contemporary finishes.
Shale — Bold and textural, introducing deeper contrasts and a more grounded, modern aesthetic.

Each palette carries a distinct character while maintaining the same design language across the community, so homes feel cohesive from one to the next while allowing for individual preference.

The Sun Rivers Setting

Sun Rivers is a residential community built around the Big Horn Golf Course on the south-facing hillside above Kamloops. The Ladera site is approximately ten minutes from downtown Kamloops and is connected to the broader Sun Rivers neighbourhood by walking and biking paths. Views from the hillside take in the Thompson River valley and the surrounding landscape.

The community includes landscaped common areas, proximity to the Big Horn golf course and clubhouse, and easy access to Kamloops amenities while remaining within a quieter residential setting.

About the Development

Ladera is a collection of 89 two- to four-bedroom multi-level townhomes by 20th Ventures Developments, currently under construction in phases. Homes in the current phase are expected to complete in June 2026, with additional phases following. The homes are built to Step 4 of the BC Energy Step Code, which places Ladera among the most energy-efficient new home builds in the province.

Sales are handled by Engel & Völkers Kamloops. The sales team is available during show home hours and by appointment.
