The lead developer for University District, University of Calgary Properties Group Ltd. (UCPG), formerly West Campus Development Corporation, was established by the University of Calgary (UCalgary) to oversee the development of the lands adjacent to the UCalgary campus, formerly known as the West Campus lands.
Created in 2010 and tasked with transforming the lands the ultimate aim of this development is to generate financial return on investment for the university’s academic mission. The outcome is so much more than that, developing a community connected to UCalgary that will enhance its reputation on a national and international level by providing leadership in innovation, sustainability, social responsibility, and an unparalleled, hyper-local, all-ages inclusive community.
With a desire for connection and community development at its core, UCPG established a commitment to high levels of collaboration from its inception. The large scale of the project and its potential to change Northwest Calgary forever, and the forward-thinking stakeholder engagement to create a fully integrated community plan became an invaluable part of the process. This collaboration is something the community will continue to celebrate as we keep on growing.
In tandem with our sustainability measures and commitments to collaboration, UCPG is also dedicated to forwarding the strategic mission of UCalgary. UCPG works with stakeholders, builders, neighbouring communities, and partners to create a complete, vibrant community with a clear sense of place, that thrives off connection. Making the heartbeat of the northwest pound a little harder… that’s the real mission.
