Overview

Custom home builder in Predator Ridge, Vernon.

Palermo Homes builds custom homes in Predator Ridge, the Okanagan's most amenity-rich master-planned resort community and Vernon's #1 luxury destination. We cut hillside lots for the view corridor, design inside Wesbild's architectural review, and deliver the finish standard our Cabernet Way and Lakestone builds set. In-house cabinetry, custom finish carpentry, and envelope details are our standard.

We build for Predator Ridge's hillside resort-community terrain: retaining, drainage, view-first orientation, and the design review each neighbourhood enforces. We know Regional District of North Okanagan permits, the local geotech, and how to site a home so the golf course and valley views work from every room.

Predator Ridge is Wesbild's master-planned resort community with 22 neighbourhoods, 36 holes of championship golf, and Commonage Market (Starbucks, grocery, local wine and spirits). Custom homes at Ellison Landing start from $1.4 million. The Ritz-Carlton Residences launch in 2026, the first Ritz-Carlton standalone branded residential development in Canada and the first world-class luxury brand in the Okanagan. Amenities include hiking and biking trails, tennis, fitness classes, and seasonal outdoor recreation. Downtown Vernon is 15 minutes north, Sparkling Hill Resort is minutes away, and Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is 40 minutes south on Highway 97.

Why Palermo

Why Predator Ridge clients hire Palermo.

  • 01Resort-community design fluencyPredator Ridge runs 22 neighbourhoods each with its own architectural guidelines. We design inside those rules from the first sketch and manage the review package so nothing bounces back.
  • 02Hillside and view-corridor experiencePredator Ridge lots are cut into the hillside above the Commonage. Retaining, drainage, and view-first orientation carry real weight. We've been doing hillside custom work for years across Upper Mission, Lakestone, and the West Kelowna wine district.
  • 03Regional District of North Okanagan permitsPredator Ridge builds run through RDNO permits rather than City of Vernon. The process runs differently, and we know the timelines and inspectors on the file.
  • 04Golf-course and lake-view designEvery early decision starts with what sits outside the window. Kitchen, primary bedroom, living room placement, glazing ratios, and roofline all get planned around where the golf course, hills, and Okanagan Lake sit from each room.
  • 05Same finish standard as our wine-district workIn-house cabinetry, custom finish carpentry, envelope details that hold up. Predator Ridge homes hold their value because the neighbours (and now the Ritz-Carlton) set a high bar and we match it.

FAQ

Custom homes in Predator Ridge, answered.

How much does a custom home cost in Predator Ridge?
Custom homes at Ellison Landing start from $1.4 million. Most Predator Ridge custom builds run $2M and up for the home alone, which pencils out around $650 to $950 per square foot depending on finish level. Lot prices vary widely across the 22 neighbourhoods, with Ellison Landing and premium view-corridor lots at the top end. The Ritz-Carlton Residences launching in 2026 will reset the top of the market. Total finished cost swings with slope, retaining, geotech, and finish level. Add architectural review costs (material palette, roof profile, colour approvals) and resort membership fees into the budget from the start. We provide line-item pricing up front so nothing sneaks up on you mid-build.
Do Predator Ridge homes have to follow design guidelines?
Yes. Wesbild runs an architectural review process for every custom home before permits go in. Guidelines cover material palette, roof pitch, massing, exterior colour, glazing ratios, and how the home sits on the lot in relation to golf course fairways and the view corridor. Guidelines vary between the 22 neighbourhoods (Commonage, Ellison Landing, and others each have their own rules). We design inside the guidelines from the first sketch, prepare the full review package, and manage revisions with the committee.
How long does a Predator Ridge custom home take to build?
Plan on 14 to 20 months from first design meeting to move-in. Roughly 3 to 5 months for design development and architectural review, 2 to 3 months for Regional District of North Okanagan building permits and geotechnical assessment (longer on steep cuts), and 9 to 12 months of construction. Steeper hillside lots often add another 4 to 8 weeks for retaining walls, drainage, and foundation stepping. Excavation, foundations, and framing move fastest through Okanagan summers, and interior finish work carries through winter without weather risk.
Which Predator Ridge neighbourhood should I build in?
Predator Ridge covers 22 neighbourhoods. Commonage is the newest expansion, walkable to Commonage Market and the resort core. Ellison Landing offers custom homes from $1.4M with strong view lots. The Ritz-Carlton Residences (launching 2026) sit at the top of the market. Older neighbourhoods offer established landscaping and mature streetscapes. Bring us your lot survey and we'll walk it with you, review the guidelines specific to that neighbourhood, and give you a real cost and timeline read before you commit.
What amenities do Predator Ridge residents get access to?
Predator Ridge is the Okanagan's most amenity-rich community. 36 holes of championship golf across two award-winning courses. Commonage Market with Starbucks, grocery, local wine and spirits. Extensive hiking and biking trails, tennis courts, fitness classes, and seasonal outdoor recreation. Sparkling Hill Resort's spa and wellness centre is minutes away. The Ritz-Carlton Residences (launching 2026) will bring hotel-branded amenities including luxury spa and dining. Onsite restaurants, resort accommodation, and event venues round out the year-round programming.
What schools are near Predator Ridge?
Predator Ridge is in Vernon School District 22 (SD22). Coldstream Elementary is the closest K-6 school, roughly 15 minutes north. Kalamalka Secondary in Coldstream covers grades 7 to 12. Vernon's downtown schools (W.L. Seaton Secondary, Ellison Elementary Vernon) are 15 to 20 minutes north. For post-secondary, Okanagan College's Vernon campus is 20 minutes north, and UBC Okanagan is 40 minutes south in Kelowna.
How far is Predator Ridge from Vernon, Kelowna, and the airport?

Kelowna International Airport (YLW) is 40 minutes south on Highway 97, with direct flights to Vancouver, Calgary, Seattle, and seasonal service to Toronto. Downtown Kelowna is roughly one hour south.
