Imagine stepping outside your front door and within 15 minutes you have easy access to a grocery store, an elementary school and a network of scenic trails. The breathtaking views of Vancouver Island and Mount Baker are part of everyday life here.
All of this is within walking distance — no vehicle required. From single-family homes to rental suites, townhomes and more, Cypress Village offers accessible living perfectly balanced between urban convenience and natural beauty.
Cypress Village Pop-Up
While anticipation builds for the future Cypress Village, British Properties is already bringing the area to life. Set above the city with views of Burrard Inlet, Cypress Village Pop-Up has become a popular gathering place for locals and visitors.
Unwind on the spacious grassy field, explore over 11 kilometres of the multi-use Mountain Path and connecting trails or take a stroll across the 200-metre Trestle Bridge and its newly completed companion. The Pop-Up also features local public art, a bike wash and repair station and The Shed — a local favourite serving coffee, beer and handmade wood-fired pizza in a comfortable, covered, heated setting. Free parking and public washrooms make visiting easy and convenient. The Pop-Up welcomes dogs — just keep your furry friends close and enjoy the space responsibly.
More than just a temporary destination, Cypress Village Pop-Up offers a preview of what’s to come — a vibrant, nature-rich environment that fosters a strong sense of community, reflecting the values and vision of the future Cypress Village. It's a living example of how British Properties is building toward a complete, connected and inclusive neighbourhood experience.
“Whether you're renting or you're buying, living in a single-family house or a condo, you are able to go through all these different stages in life in the same neighbourhood without having to move,” says British Properties president Geoff Croll. “Some people may think, ‘there is nothing for me in West Vancouver,’ and we want to change that discussion.”
Established in 1931, British Properties’ commitment to serving the needs of the North Shore dates back close to a century.
“As time has gone on, preferences have evolved and we have evolved,” Croll says. “Some people are downsizing and they want different transportation options. We are following the lead of the community, we're responding and we're delivering on that. Uplands already has a diverse offering and the Village will have even more.”
Sustainability meets adventure
Sustainability is at the heart of Cypress Village. All multi-family homes will be fully electric with minimal reliance on fossil fuels. Trees removed during development have been reused for community amenities or repurposed by B.C.-based mills. Meanwhile, 260 acres of Eagle Ridge have now been preserved as dedicated parkland.
And then there’s the amenities to get outside and get after it: signature trestle bridges that connect the terrain across forested valleys, biking and hiking trails at virtually every turn and streams and wetlands featuring all of nature’s colour palette.

That all these features are offered within walking distance is perhaps the clearest expression of what makes the new village so special and a testament to its intentional and community-focused design. Those familiar with North Shore traffic on weekends know the bustle of commuters converging from all corners of the region to enjoy the area’s surrounding beauty. At Cypress Village, traffic is replaced by tranquillity.
And if you do want to scratch that out-of-town itch, consider the following: Cypress Village is 30 minutes from downtown Vancouver, 45 minutes from YVR and just over an hour to the world’s best four-season resort in Whistler.
“You’re in the front row for all those urban amenities and other recreational amenities as well,” Croll says. “We have got something for everybody because this is a very accessible Village for anyone who visits, plays or lives here.”
