Fraser Mills: For generations to come
June 23, 2023
Transformation is coming to the Coquitlam riverside, a master-planned community that’s poised to become a defining cornerstone for the region and a pivotal landmark for Metro Vancouver and the entire Fraser region.
Introducing Fraser Mills by Beedie. Located in South Coquitlam on 96 acres adjacent to the mighty Fraser River, this neighbourhood will ultimately bring a dazzling array of 5,500 homes, as well as restaurants, shops, extensive greenspace, plazas, an elementary school, plus a 50,000-sq.-ft. aquatic and community centre.
“We are incredibly excited to bring Fraser Mills to life,” says Ryan Beedie, president. “As Coquitlam’s first and only waterfront community, the prime location on the river offers a vibrant mix of homes, workplaces, and public spaces that cater to a wide range of people.”
Grounded in history
In the late 1800s and early 1900s, Fraser Mills was its own municipality and the site of the largest sawmill in the British Empire. Today, it’s at the heart of Metro Vancouver, a central location that provides easy access to… well, to everywhere. And here’s a bonus: As development gets underway, Beedie will add an express bus connection directly to the Braid Street SkyTrain station.
Visionary outlook
Fraser Mills’ design is the epitome of connected, engaged living. In addition to a mix of market and rental housing, there will be more than 100,000 sq. ft. of commercial space, approximately 400 childcare spaces, an elementary school, and office/industrial spaces. An estimated 1,700 jobs will be available right outside your front door.
People who choose to call Fraser Mills home can look forward to fully embracing life on the riverbank. Restaurants flowing from indoors to outdoors will spill onto plazas full of activity, animating the streets with shops and dining. Bakeries, breweries, wine purveyors, and grocers will provide all the joys of modern conveniences.
And best of all, Beedie will be handling every aspect of the evolution. “Fraser Mills is a testament to Beedie’s commitment to building accessible and dynamic communities throughout Metro Vancouver,” Ryan Beedie notes. “We are, and always will be, dedicated to providing intelligent innovative design, thoughtful details, and craftsmanship.”
The initial phase of homes at Fraser Mills is anticipated to begin this year with the opening of a presentation centre.. To be kept up to date on this dynamic opportunity, register today at FraserMills.com and enjoy first-in-line access to riverfront living.
