Condos in University District
University District is a master-planned community on about 200 acres of West Campus land that the province transferred to the University of Calgary in 1995. Construction began in 2015 and the first residents moved in in 2018, so all of its roughly 860 condo units are new, about a fifth of them townhouse-style.

Transit & CTrain
No station in the community: Brentwood and University stations (Red Line) are about 1.7 km away, a short bus ride or a walk across campus. See how the lines connect on our Calgary condo map & CTrain guide.
What to watch for in University District
Homes are leasehold, not freehold: the University keeps the land and owners hold 99-year leases, which can affect financing and resale, so talk to your lender early. The community is still being built, so expect construction nearby for years.
Before you buy
Review the building's condo documents — reserve fund, minutes and bylaws — before you firm up. Our Buyer Guide shows what to look for.
