University Endowment Chancellor Place Condos and Townhouses
The neighbourhood is defined by the beautifully-restored, granite stone-faced Iona Building of the Vancouver School of Economics that stands at the head of this graceful neighbourhood. Built in 1927 and now home to UBC’s Faculty of Arts’ Vancouver School of Economics, the Iona Building is surrounded by duplex townhomes along University Endowment Chancellor Boulevard and apartment condominiums in the interior of the neighbourhood.
These modern, yet similarly granite-clad, newer residential buildings reflect the Iona Building’s grandeur and historical significance within the community.
Well-planned development and use of green spaces give this community its tranquil charm. Residential condominium buildings and townhomes in University Endowment Chancellor Place include: Chancellor Hall; Chancellor House; Argyll House East; Argyll House West; Folio and Stirling House; Corus; and Esse.
Often referred to as the “Theology neighbourhood,” University Endowment Chancellor Place is also home to Carey Theological College, St. Andrew’s Hall, University Hill Congregation of the United Church of Canada, St. Mark’s College and Corpus Christi College. In 2014, Vancouver School of Theology sold Iona Building to UBC. In 2015, Vancouver School of Economics moved in to the Iona Building. The neighbourhood also houses the Chan Centre and the Faculty of Law to the west, situated in Allard Hall at the end of Iona Drive.
Conveniently, the North Bus Loop and the University Hill Elementary School are within easy walking distance from the neighbourhood, as is Wesbrook Mall on its eastern border. Prior to development of Wesbrook Village, Chancellor Place was the most expensive neighbourhood in University Endowment, with many homes enjoying ocean views. Despite its excellent comparative price point, the neighbourhood has remained peaceful and uncrowded.
To the south of Chancellor Place are the Gage Residences, three high-rise towers plus low-rise apartments behind the towers that offer rental housing for students, as well as the Student Union Building and many campus recreational facilities.
