Setting Sail at UBC’S Wesbrook Village
Clean lines and natural materials create a sophisticated, and sustainable, living environment
Set within the coveted UBC peninsula, Sail embodies the latest evolution of West Coast modern architecture — a harmony of simplicity and nature. These modern urban apartment homes encourage indoor/ outdoor living at its finest, with Wesbrook Village amenities close by and verdant greenways connecting community and home.
Building on Adera’s previous awardwinning trio of developments— the Pacific Spirit Collection— these apartments offer a high level of sophistication and a commitment to sustainable building practices by following the university’s Residential Environmental Assessment Program ( REAP), a comprehensive green building rating system which applies to all residential construction on the Vancouver campus. Sail is expected to attain a Platinum rating, the highest rating under the REAP program.
“Sail will be the first six- storey woodframe building at UBC, and its building style reflects a West Coast Modern design that embodies indoor/ outdoor living,” says Adera President Norm Couttie. “Sail’s clean lines and natural materials create a sophisticated living environment that’s also sustainable, with in floor radiant heating, Energy Star windows and appliances, motion sensor light switches, and water efficient irrigation technology. There’s even a co- op car at the curb.”
Surrounded by water and forests, residents will enter Sail by crossing a bridge over reflecting ponds. The glass lobby offers views into the lush forest courtyard and pools beyond. All Sail apartment homes offer generous decks or patios, and all penthouse level homes have Adera’s signature West Coast lanais— private outdoor rooms for your exclusive use, even if that means relaxing in your optional hot- tub. Design features include natural exterior materials that blend in with the surroundings, large roof overhangs with cedar soffits at high- visibility corners, and generous glazing which blurs the separation between indoors and out.
Adera has been building trust, and homes, for 40 years— with innovation, sustainability, partnership and passion. An industry leader in sustainable development, Adera has been honoured with numerous local, national and international, and sustainability awards.
Adera VP Marketing & Sales Eric Andreasen says, “Besides being located in one of the most desirable areas in Vancouver, Sail is within the University Hill catchment district for elementary, middle, and secondary schools. Our Asian clients truly value both family and education. For that reason, Sail is a very desirable location. Adera recognizes that Chinese New Year is a time of good luck and opportunity. We’re already seeing enormous interest from Asian buyers for the Sail homes.”
Sail is located at UBC’S new Wesbrook Village neighbourhood with urban shops, services and a Save on Foods Shopping Centre within a short walk, yet surrounded by both forest and parks and adjacent to a world class university. Sail will consist of 172 urban apartment homes located in two six- storey buildings.
