 
"Co-Development housing" involves a group of UBC faculty and staff members applying to lease land at market value from UBC. UBC Properties Trust manages the creation of new townhomes or apartment condominium complexes for the co-developers.
While UBC Properties is a developer of many projects at UBC, in co-development, the role of developer is played by each of the participating individuals. The role of UBC Properties is to initially act as a conduit in bringing like-minded University affiliated individuals together, and then acting as their Project Manager to guide the design, construction and completion of each of the homes.
The Housing Development Opportunity forms part of UBC's Employee Housing Program. Prospective participants should appreciate that it is the participants themselves who will develop the project, using expertise and resources provided, on a fee basis, by UBC Properties Investments Ltd. The following is an extract from the Employee Housing Program brochure (available at www.treasury.ubc.ca):
'To facilitate the development of principal residences, qualified employees of the University will be eligible for housing development services. All full time employees, at their initiative may establish themselves as a group of not less than 10 persons and apply for residential development of an appropriate parcel of land on campus. Each member of the group purchases a pre-paid, 99 year lease on commercial terms that the University routinely obtains and at full market value for the land component of the development. The University through UBC Properties Trust will assist in the development of such Projects with campus based site selection, supervising the selection of appropriate prime consultants and general contractors, and providing general development advice, marketing services and legal advice for the formation of the group necessary to carry out the development.'
