Land Title: Supporting The University of Calgary

University District is innovating across the board and offering a new perspective when it comes to communities in Calgary for leasehold.

Leaseholds offer buyers long-term lease properties and are created in communities where the owner of the land can’t sell it; often a government, academic institution, or a First Nations community. A well-known practice in many provinces in Canada, and in communities around the world, leasehold agreements have been used for centuries. There are few communities in Alberta that have created this real estate possibility for homeowners.

Leasehold ownership holds exceptional value, and is as common a way for homeowners to purchase a home as a freehold purchase. It’s a sound investment where you own everything on the land, just not the land itself. You’re in the driver’s seat with your home: you can renovate, decorate, sell or will your property. And, with University of Calgary Properties Group holding the vision for the future of the community, experience the added perk of having the community designed, built and maintained so it always works for you.

Inspired By Academic Communities

As a community built on land owned by an academic institution, University District joins the ranks of notable, thriving, and high-demand Canadian communities. Both the University of British Columbia’s Wesbrook Village and Simon Fraser University’s UniverCity are proof of how this approach to serving the community with new residential, retail, and commercial opportunities helps everyone—the residents, the university and the surrounding neighbourhoods—thrive. This international model has also been successful at universities like Harvard, Yale, and Oxford.

Growing Together

The aim of University District is to contribute to the ongoing growth and sustainable success of the community. With UCalgary next door, we made sure to consider the plans for its own growth as our own Master Plan evolved. Ensuring a thriving future for all, University District is being developed without disrupting campus growth in the years ahead. The services, residences, and amenities moving into the community will only support university life, becoming richer as we grow together.
