A lecture presented to the UBC Department of Geography Colloquium, 27 September 2016

Condominium or strata property facilitates the subdivision of land into multiple private titles. The legal form is used most commonly to subdivide buildings, but in British Columbia it is also used to subdivide undeveloped or bare land. This lecture describes the emergence and proliferation of “bare land strata property” developments in British Columbia. It maps their locations, uses judicial decisions to explain their uses and limitations, and asks whether we should be concerned about the proliferation of private communities of property owners.
