U Five was completed in summer 2018 and stands as one of the most popular buildings on Academy Way for buyers who prioritize lifestyle alongside investment returns. The three-storey, 72-unit building features something unique on the street: direct trail access right from the property, connecting residents to the network of hiking and biking trails surrounding the UBCO campus.
Underground parking, a relatively rare feature among Academy Way condos, adds practical value and protects vehicles from Kelowna's summer heat and winter snow. Valley views from upper floor units, combined with the trail connection, give U Five a distinctly outdoor-oriented feel that sets it apart from the more urban character of buildings further up the street.
For investors, U Five's lifestyle credentials translate directly into tenant appeal. UBCO attracts a student and faculty base that values walkability and access to the outdoors, and U Five delivers both. The building has maintained strong occupancy rates since completion, and its relatively compact 72-unit size creates a more intimate strata community than the larger buildings on the street.
