Just Listed // High-floor luxury at ‘Hawksley’ by Beedie
“• Strategic Anchor: Located in the Uplands, the primary residential corridor serving the District’s new 200-acre Cypress Village master plan.
• Conservation Trade-off: The development of this hub facilitates the permanent protection of 1,500 acres of the Upper Lands for public use.
• The View Premium: As the highest south-facing 1-bedroom in the building, Unit 609 secures unencumbered sightlines of the Burrard Inlet and Vancouver skyline.”
The development of Cypress Village is a 25-year marathon that is fundamentally changing the "Upper Lands" of West Vancouver. In a unique agreement with the District, British Pacific Properties is concentrating density into a walkable town center in exchange for gifting 1,500 acres of forest back to the municipality for conservation. This move preserves the exclusivity of the mountainside while finally introducing the housing diversity—and modern infrastructure—West Vancouver has lacked for years.
Hawksley, a collaboration between Beedie and British Pacific Properties, is one of the first completed residential anchors in this corridor. Completed in February 2026, it offers a "lock-and-leave" lifestyle for those who want to be positioned early in this transforming hub. For residents, this means immediate access to world-class trails today, with the future convenience of a "Whistler-style" village center—complete with schools, shops, and transit—evolving just steps away.

The Cypress Village Connection
Status: Groundbreaking occurred April 2025; Phase 1 earthworks and road improvements are currently underway.
Housing Supply: The village will eventually host ~3,700 homes, making early-phase builds like Hawksley the established "front row" of the community.
Retail Footprint: Over 380,000 sq. ft. of future work and shop space is planned to create a fully self-contained mountainside hub.
The Investment Narrative
Buying into the Uplands today is a play on long-term infrastructure. While the full village will take decades to mature, the value of early-stage luxury builds like Hawksley is anchored by their scarcity and their immediate proximity to the future commercial core. For those seeking the highest-elevation views in the development with a clear "buy-and-hold" thesis, Unit 609 is the specific asset to watch.
