Distrikt and Fiera Real Estate broke ground on its Trailside and Trailside 2.0 developments in Oakville, beginning construction on a new master-planned community in the town. The new community offers a range of affordable luxury offerings in two spacious mid-rise condo buildings plus several blocks of two-storey townhomes, designed by award winning Kirkor Architect + Planners. Inspired by Oakville’s historical cache, steady employment growth and expansive outdoor lifestyle, Distrikt’s co-founders believe the town rated #1 place to live in Canada in 2018 is poised for continued growth and success. The projects are over 80% pre-sold with the buildings seeing tremendous interest from both local buyers and from nearby Toronto. 

“As Oakville maintains its position as one of the most ideal places to live in the GTA, we’re excited about the growth happening locally, particularly in Oakville’s designated areas for intensification. Until recently, Oakville has been largely overlooked by the multi-residential development industry. But we see a town that has established itself as a thriving place to live, offering the best of retail, dining, public spaces and an unbeatable outdoor lifestyle. We look forward to continuing to build and invest in Oakville,” says Distrikt co-founder Emil Toma.

Mayor Rob Burton was present for the groundbreaking ceremony, alongside founders of Distrikt Emil Toma and Paul Simcox, VP of Real Estate Marcus Boekelman, and Director of Construction Leonard Scomparin.

Between both buildings, Distrikt Trailside offers a total of 700 residences and townhomes. All units come with standard 9 to 10 ft. ceilings, and each building offers over 15,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor amenity space. Residents are welcomed to comfortably workout in the fitness studio, or host friends and family on private terraces fully equipped for outdoor cooking. On the ground floor, Distrikt’s vision designates boutique spaces for cafés, galleries and work-live studios to truly bring urban convenience into the community. Proving out demand for the mixed-use potential, all retail spaces have already been sold.

Ensuring that buildings are equipped for the future of sophisticated residential living, Distrikt communities offer access to a personal artificial intelligence assistant. Residents can rely on their personalized “Distrikt AI” to seamlessly connect with all of the services and amenities the building has to offer, all through a central dashboard in unit and on mobile. This smart-home technology is standardized throughout all buildings and integrates digital locks, cameras, entry alerts, scheduling condo amenities including elevators and communications with building personnel, as well as monitoring energy usage.

Located in central Oakville, on Dundas Street West, the Trailside community is within walking distance of community centres and sports complexes, restaurants and retail, highly ranked schools, and is within 5 km of the Oakville GO Station, truly setting a new form of convenient urban living outside of the downtown core. Residents will enjoy the comfort of Oakville living, and its 2,500 acres of public greenspace, beautiful shoreline and verdant ravines. The community is also at a key location for commuters, with easy access to all major highways (403/407/QEW).

The Trailside community is part of a 2,000 unit pipeline in Oakville for Distrikt alongside their Station, Trafalgar and the recently completed 6ixth projects.
