Why Partner With Us?

We’re focused on developing residential communities that create a positive everyday experience through thoughtful design, collaboration, and inclusiveness. What sets our community apart is its connectivity to existing transit, major roadways, pathways, surrounding hospitals, the University of Calgary, and established neighbourhoods making it an ideal central location. Once complete, University District in Calgary’s northwest will span 200 acres, including 40 acres of open space, 15,000 residents, 1.5 million square feet of office space and 300,000 square feet of retail along nine blocks.

What We’re Looking for in Residential Partners

We set high standards for sustainable neighbourhood design and work with partners who share our dedication to creating premier urban residential communities in Calgary. They share our values of innovation and quality design, align with our vision, and are committed to bringing heart and uniqueness to the community. With strong collaboration sewn into our relationships and high standards for quality, our builders set the stage for what’s to come. They are all in for delivering on a sustainable and vibrant community vision focused on putting people first.

The Land Lease

UCPG will offer leases to developers on parcels for a pre-paid 99-year term. The lease is in the form of prepaid rent, meaning it is a one-time upfront payment for the term. At the end of the lease term, there will be an option to negotiate an extension or terminate. If the lease terminates UCPG will pay the leaseholder fair market value for the residence which sits on the land. Residential opportunities may be advertised through a Request for Proposal process.

The Parcels

Accessibility to community services is convenient with a variety of opportunities that offer diversity, access to green space, and proximity to the retail main street. With 40 acres of open space, access to surrounding amenities including CF Market Mall, the University of Calgary, and nearby hospitals, University District will offer a master planned community that is changing the face of real estate in Calgary.
