GEC Living is Metro Vancouver's largest off-campus accommodation provider, offering fully furnished suites, all-inclusive amenities and flexible leasing for both domestic and international students.
The new partnership provides students with housing that is conveniently accessible to KPU Richmond, with additional housing planned near both KPU Surrey and Richmond campuses.
"Finding safe and reliable housing can be challenging for students, especially if they're new to the area," says Zena Mitchell, Vice President, Students at KPU. "Through our partnership with GEC Living, we're hoping to help ease that challenge by expanding the options available to our students."
Through this new partnership, KPU students will benefit from a month of free rent when signing a 12-month lease, access to prioritized room availability and prioritized additional beds if demand increases.
All GEC properties are fully furnished and include weekly housekeeping, on-site caretakers, utilities, high-speed internet and more.
"We're excited to partner with KPU to make student housing more accessible and stress-free," says Brendan Lee, Vice President of GEC Living. "Our residences offer a safe, fully supported environment where students can build friendships and feel part of a vibrant off-campus community. We're committed to continually creating a living experience that enhances their lives in Vancouver."
With developments underway in Surrey Central and Richmond, GEC Living is currently operating in six locations across Vancouver and Burnaby. Located 100 meters from KPU Civic, the GEC Education Mega Centre in Surrey Central is projected to accommodate 1,100 students.
