UBC and the adjoining University Endowment Lands sit on a spectacular peninsula bordered by beaches and Pacific Spirit Park. It’s a rare mix: university energy, protected green space, and quiet, design-forward homes minutes from Kitsilano and the West Side.

This market divides into two clear offerings:

• UEL (freehold): tree-lined streets, architect-designed estates, and boutique infills near the UBC Golf Course—privacy, land value, and long-term holding power.
• UBC (leasehold): concrete view towers, townhomes, and boutique residences in Wesbrook and Hampton Place—modern amenities, concierge buildings, and exceptional value per square foot for end-users and investors.

Lifestyle is effortless.

Walk to Spanish Banks and Locarno, cycle forest trails, or catch a performance at the Chan Centre. Daily needs are covered in Wesbrook Village—grocer, cafés, fitness, clinics—while Kits restaurants and West 10th boutiques are a short drive.

Schools are a headline strength: Norma Rose Point (K-8) and University Hill Secondary anchor the catchment, with elite options nearby—George’s, Crofton House, and West Point Grey Academy. UBC’s facilities add year-round advantages: pools and rinks at the UBC Recreation complex, tennis, museums, and continuing-studies programs.

Benefits Beyond Aesthetics

For buyers, UBC/UEL offers clarity of choice—freehold prestige or leasehold efficiency—both with unrivalled access to nature, culture, and education. For sellers, presentation and positioning matter; discerning families and academics shop here for a lifestyle, not just a layout. We manage both with discipline and discretion.
