This is close enough to the beach as well to sort of make it into a destination station as well which might help the UBC extension. Might also stick a paid lookout tower in one of the buildings

The city is asking for public feedback on two concepts for the site, both of which would house approximately 15,000 to 18,000 people on a 10-million-square foot development. The area's boundaries are West Fourth Avenue, Highbury Street, West Eighth Avenue and Discovery Street.
The Jericho Lands are made up of 90 acres in West Point Grey — which has a current population of around 13,000 people. The land is currently home to a former garrison, several dozen homes leased to military families and to a private school.
One of the plans features a diagonal walkway through the neighbourhood with a central gathering space in the middle, while the other would focus more on north-south connectors and smaller community gathering points across the site.
Both plans also propose dozens of buildings ranging from two to 32 storeys, three taller towers, a mix of community centres, parkland, and wilderness spaces, along with the potential for a SkyTrain station if the Millennium Line is extended to the University of British Columbia. The exact mix of housing options, size and location of buildings is yet to be determined in either plan.
