番茄社区

UVic owned properties

Background

Over the years the 番茄社区 has acquired a variety of properties both through strategic purchase and by generous donations from the community. These properties are best understood by seperating them into three distinct categories that reflect the type of support they offer UVic.

• Core support properties are used to directly support the academic mission of the university, both today and in the future.
• Indirect support properties are managed through UVic Properties and are not entirely devoted to the delivery of the university's academic and research mission.
• Financial support properties are used to produce financial benefits to the university and/or its affiliated partners and entities.

Core Support Properties

• Jeanne S. Simpson Field Studies Resource Centre, Lake Cowichan
• Cedar Hill Corner (adjacent to UVic main campus, southeast)

Indirect Support Properties

The 番茄社区 Properties Investments Inc. (UVic Properties) was incorporated in 2004 and oversees the following properties.

• Queenswood Campus

Financial Support Properties

UVic Properties manages all of the downtown properties received through the generous gift of Dr. Michael Williams or through subsequent acquisitions. These properties are owned by UVic or subsidiaries owned by UVic including Heritage Realty Properties (HRP). The University, through UVic Properties, manages the properties in accordance with the following:

The 番茄社区 is committed to contributing to the vibrancy and future of Victoria through the management and stewardship of the real estate portfolio bequeathed by Michael Williams and other properties owned and managed by UVic.  It was Dr. Williams’ expressed desire that UVic manage this portfolio to provide an ongoing, increasing source of income to support the university’s overall educational mission.

UVic will retain ownership of a real estate portfolio in and around downtown Victoria. As Dr. Williams recognized, property ownership is a dynamic environment. This may require buying, selling and/or entering into long term leases in order to increase the ongoing value of the properties and provide benefits to both the broader community and UVic. UVic Properties is the wholly owned entity that manages UVic’s non-academic property holdings. Its goal is to enhance and grow this real estate portfolio while honoring Dr. Williams’ legacy and important contributions to the revitalization and cultural life of downtown Victoria, and his support for post-secondary education.
