Come Forth Into the Light of Things

Named after the famous Romantic-era poet and Cambridge University laureate, Wordsworth by Polygon Homes is a new residential development coming soon to UBC’s Wesbrook Village. Designed by acclaimed Francl Architecture, Wordsworth consists of a 16-storey condominium tower and a collection of 22 concrete townhomes surrounding a lush courtyard. Condominiums offer a range of floor plans from studios to 3-bedroom suites with 392 – 1,239 sq ft of living space. Three-storey townhomes have three bedrooms with 1,519-sq-ft interiors. Interiors feature engineered wood flooring, natural stone tile walls in en suites, engineered stone countertops and backsplashes, European appliances, and built-in master bedroom wardrobe closets. Resident amenities include a building concierge, electronic parcel system, and a fitness studio.

Wordsworth is ideally situated in a friendly community of higher learning for all ages. Leisure and recreational amenities for the whole family are also just a stone’s throw away. The Wesbrook Community Centre is a central hub where residents can get a workout, play basketball, or cool down in the splash park. To connect with nature, Pacific Spirit Regional Park is a short walk away with over 2,000 acres of old growth trees and 73 kilometres of walking trails. Sophisticated cultural and recreational venues take weekend activities to a whole new level at the Chan Centre for Performing Arts, the UBC Botanical Garden, the Museum of Anthropology, and the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery. Daily necessities, cafés, and restaurants are readily accessible in the village with Save-On-Foods, Shoppers Drug Mart, Murchie’s, Togo Sushi, and BierCraft.
