02THE STORY
Academy Ridge stands as a testament to thoughtful design, offering spacious townhome living that thoughtfully integrates with its natural surroundings.
This master-planned community provides a distinct residential experience, blending suburban comfort with urban accessibility.
Developed by the Watermark Group and designed by Meiklejohn Architects, Academy Ridge began construction in phases from 2019 onwards, introducing a contemporary wood-frame aesthetic to the University District. The design emphasizes a "living street concept" with pedestrian-friendly spaces and modern exterior colours that harmonize with the natural environment.
The residences at Academy Ridge feature multi-level layouts with high ceilings and contemporary finishes, offering a different ownership experience from the area's traditional condo towers. While there isn't a central lobby or concierge in the typical high-rise sense, the community provides a central green park and ample parking, fostering a connected yet private lifestyle.
