Developer
Innovators With Strong Values Towards Community and Education.
Watermark Group has been developing communities for over 20 years in the University Village district, earning a reputation as innovators with strong values towards community, social responsibility and education. Their latest masterplanned community introduces the unique townhome offering of Academy Ridge at University Village.
Watermark Group was responsible for the creation of University Village, which has provided over 1,100 units of student housing for UBCO so far. That includes Academy Hill, the first student-oriented condo development in the area. Further down the hill, Sol Terra Ranch was the first single-family subdivision with legal secondary suites in Kelowna.
Watermark’s commitment to community and education is demonstrated by their philosophy of giving back, exemplified by their involvement in the founding of Aberdeen Hall Preparatory School, and by their contribution to UBC Okanagan’s new recreation centre.
