02THE STORY
U-Five's 'Campus Modern' architecture, designed by Meiklejohn Architects Inc., creates a distinctive presence in Kelowna's University District.
This building stands out with its blend of modern aesthetics and practical design, tailored for a dynamic lifestyle.
Completed in summer 2018 by the esteemed Mission Group, U-Five was brought to life with architectural vision from Meiklejohn Architects Inc.. Its 'Campus Modern' design incorporates a base of concrete and brick, transitioning to stucco and Hardi-panel accents on upper levels, all while utilizing flat roofs to preserve scenic views. The building's thoughtful layout even includes a gateway between its two sections, facilitating easy internal circulation for residents.
U-Five offers 72 residences across three storeys, featuring a range of studio to three-bedroom layouts, many with private patio living spaces and valley views from upper floors. It is particularly well-suited for those connected to UBCO, offering a lifestyle that balances academic proximity with outdoor access.

The outdoor experience at U-Five is defined by its unparalleled direct access to natural trails.
