About Us

Village Gate Homes

UBC is one of the few Lower Mainland employers to offer considerable housing opportunities for its employees and their families within its own neighbourhoods.

UBC’s overarching strategy for fostering academic excellence and sustainable leadership integrates into its Housing Action Plan (HAP) which promotes the responsible management of its land. The HAP strives to provide affordable housing and diversity in rental choice with up to 25% of all new housing on campus restricted for the residential use of faculty and staff.

A division of UBC Properties Trust, Village Gate Homes has been leasing and managing rental homes for UBC’s faculty and staff since 2001. Village Gate Homes manages the entire UBC faculty and staff rental portfolio of over 1,400 apartments and townhomes. Our homes are built on principles of sustainability and provide social, environmental, and financial support to the university’s academic mission.

Revenue generated from faculty and staff rental homes feeds back into UBC’s housing portfolio for further housing construction, regular maintenance and service expenses. Any revenue remaining flows to the UBC Endowment fund to support a range of programs and activities such as scholarships and bursaries across the University.
