Why Academy Way?

One of Kelowna's highest-demand corridors for investors and owner-occupiers alike.

๐ŸŽ“

Adjacent to UBCO

Academy Way sits directly beside the University of British Columbia Okanagan campus โ€” one of the fastest-growing universities in Canada โ€” creating a permanent, year-round tenant base.

๐Ÿ“ˆ

Strong Rental Demand

1,100+ students and faculty members live on or near Academy Way. Vacancy rates in the University District consistently outperform broader Kelowna averages, making it a reliable income property corridor.

๐Ÿ—๏ธ

Modern, Recent Inventory

Every building on Academy Way was completed between 2014 and 2020 โ€” no aging infrastructure, minimal deferred maintenance, and contemporary finishes that tenants and buyers expect.

๐Ÿ 

Something for Every Buyer

Studio condos for investors, 3-bedroom units for families, and full townhomes with double garages at Academy Ridge โ€” the street accommodates every ownership profile and budget.

๐Ÿ”จ

Low Maintenance Ownership

Strata corporations on Academy Way handle landscaping, snow removal, and building upkeep. For investors, it's as close to a hands-off ownership model as BC real estate offers.

๐Ÿš€

Growth Still Coming

With 451 additional units approved at 825 Academy Way plus further mixed-use development in planning, the University District's trajectory is still pointing up. Early ownership compounds as the area matures.

Upcoming Developments

Academy Way is still growing โ€” here's what's been approved and planned.

City Approved

825 Academy Way โ€” 451-Unit Mixed-Use Tower

Kelowna City Council approved a large student-focused mixed-use development featuring 451 apartments built over ground-floor commercial spaces, public outdoor plazas, Modo car-share stalls, and EV charging stations. This is the single largest addition to Academy Way since the street's development began in 2014.

In Planning

New Mixed-Use Commercial & Residential Building

A 4-storey commercial and residential building is planned for Academy Way, featuring 3 and 4-bedroom units designed specifically for graduate students and faculty families, alongside 3,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.

Academy Way Kelowna โ€” FAQ

What buildings are on Academy Way in Kelowna?
Academy Way has 9 strata buildings: Academy Hill (975 & 985), U One (935), U Two East & West (881 & 883), U Three (775), U Five (725), U Six (695), U Seven (655), U Eight (625), and Academy Ridge (610). Together they offer over 500 condos and townhomes in Kelowna's University District.
How much do condos on Academy Way cost?
Prices typically range from the mid $300,000s for studio and one-bedroom units to $700,000+ for larger two-bedrooms and townhomes. Prices vary by building, floor, view, and finishes. Contact us for a free valuation โ†’
Is Academy Way a good investment?
Yes โ€” Academy Way is one of Kelowna's strongest condo investment corridors. Its location beside UBCO creates consistent year-round rental demand from students, faculty, and healthcare workers. With 451 additional units still under construction and limited land supply, long-term values remain strong.
Can you rent out an Academy Way condo?
Most Academy Way strata buildings permit long-term rentals, making them popular with investors. Short-term rental rules vary by building. Ask us which buildings allow rentals โ†’
How close is Academy Way to UBCO?
Academy Way runs directly alongside the UBCO campus. Most buildings are a 2โ€“10 minute walk to campus โ€” making it the closest residential street to the university in Kelowna's University District.
Who are the Academy Way real estate specialists?
Mark Jontz & Associates at Royal LePage Kelowna specialize exclusively in this corridor โ€” every building's floor plans, strata rules, recent sales, and investment potential. Call 250-861-6002 or email info@markjontz.com.
What are typical strata fees on Academy Way?
Strata fees vary meaningfully by building โ€” newer buildings, larger amenities, and elevator/security features all push fees higher, while smaller or older buildings tend to run lower. There's no single number that applies across all 9 buildings. Ask us for current strata fee figures โ†’ on any specific building or unit you're considering.
Which Academy Way buildings allow pets?
Pet bylaws vary by building and often by pet type, size, and number allowed โ€” this is one of the details that changes between stratas even on the same street. Always confirm the specific building's current pet bylaw before assuming. Contact us and we'll check for you โ†’
Can a parent buy a unit and have their UBCO student live in it?
Yes โ€” this is one of the more common purchase scenarios on Academy Way. Most parents buy in their own name rather than the student's for financing and tax reasons, and often use a 2 or 3-bedroom unit so the student can bring in roommates to help offset costs. See our full parent's guide for the rent-vs-buy math.
What happens to the unit when my student graduates?
Three realistic options: sell into Academy Way's steady demand from the next wave of students and staff, keep it as a long-term rental investment, or pass it to a younger sibling headed to UBCO next. See the investment guide for the numbers behind each path.
