Having worked to launch Tobiano’s initial resort residential offerings – from the Bluff and Lakestar to the Equestrian and Summer’s Landing, we are proud of our continuing work in leading the planning and design of the Tobiano community and its latest neighbourhoods of Latitude, Ranchlands and West Hills.

Tobiano is a master-planned community set above the scenic shores of Kamloops Lake. Embracing the wild montane landscape of the Thompson Valley, Tobiano offers unsurpassed residential living on an award-winning Thomas McBroom-designed golf course, with clubhouse and marina, along with plans for a neighbourhood commercial crossroads, equestrian centre and pedestrian-scaled village.
Extending over 1,000 acres of waterfront, Tobiano enjoys another 17,000 acres of ranch and back country recreation comprising a community backyard second to none. Homes at Tobiano are designed as distinct neighbourhoods connected by landscaped walkways and riding paths – all celebrating an active lifestyle set overlooking Kamloops Lake.
Placemark continues to build on this legacy with designs that celebrate all that Thompson living has to offer.
