Currently nearing completion in Strathcona, Beck Developments' The Trax will soon welcome home its first generation of residents. The 6-storey, 100-unit, mid-rise will be home to upwards of 150 residents, in addition to a contiguous row of street-facing retail.
Located, as the name implies, just east of the CPR Irvine rail yard, south-east of 82 Ave NW and Gateway Blvd, at 10054 79 Ave NW, The Trax will bring some much-needed pedestrian traffic to the area. Walking distance thus to a number of restaurants, shops, and other services, The Trax will be a prime location for those seeking a slice of urban living outside of the core.
Faced in a mix of traditional materials, including red brick masonry, cement, and glass, The Trax has an elegant, modern look, albeit with a nod to the city's past. Balconies adorn the units above street level, the ground floor retail bays facing directly onto the street - along both frontages.
Once complete, The Trax will be a fine addition to Stratchona, the area already one of the city's most popular neighbourhoods.
