Academy Hill

Academy Hill was the first residential development to open on Academy Way, setting the standard for University District living in Kelowna. Developed by Highline Buildings and completed in 2014, the complex consists of two buildings at 975 and 985 Academy Way, totalling 78 apartment-style condo residences.

Situated directly adjacent to the UBCO campus, Academy Hill was instrumental in establishing the University District as a premier investment corridor in the Okanagan. As the pioneering project on the street, it attracted the first wave of owner-occupiers and investors who recognized the long-term potential of university-adjacent real estate in Kelowna.

Units in Academy Hill are among the most competitively priced entry points on the street, making them attractive to both first-time buyers and investors seeking strong rental yields without overextending. With over a decade of established strata management, a mature community, and a proven track record of consistent tenant demand, Academy Hill offers the rare combination of stability and continued upside as the University District grows.

With 451 additional units approved at 825 Academy Way and further development planned for the street, the area surrounding Academy Hill is set to become even more amenity-rich — a tailwind for owners who got in early.
