Welcome to JWest
Jewish at heart,
open to all
Join us as we revitalize the site of the current Jewish Community Centre in the Oakridge neighbourhood with the development of a new, vibrant, and inclusive community hub.
What is JWest?
The JWest project is at the forefront of the Oakridge neighbourhood transformation, addressing some of the city’s most pressing challenges, including housing, childcare, and senior care. Rooted in Jewish heritage, the new campus will serve as a dynamic centre for the community, welcoming people of all backgrounds to participate in its programs, services, and activities. As part of the revitalization of the Cambie Oakridge corridor, the project includes three key components: a larger, modern Jewish Community Centre, an expanded King David High School with state-of-the-art facilities, and two residential towers offering much-needed housing for the entire community. This thoughtful blend of education, community, and housing will create a thriving space that not only strengthens the Jewish community but also enhances the entire Oakridge neighbourhood and beyond.
The phased construction will ensure no disruption to programs. With the development permit application submitted in January 2025, groundbreaking is expected in early 2026, creating a community hub for generations to come.
