The timeless appeal of Axis

Axis is about accessibility – not just the accessibility it’s terrific location in the booming southeast community of Walden gives to its residents, but also the accessibility that its prices and floor plans offer to buyers.

This townhome development by Rockford is now half sold, as demand continues to be strong. And new showhomes currently in the works are sure to boost its popularity even more.

“We are nearly 50 per cent sold but even more exciting for us is that we are working on three new buildings so we will be able to have quick possessions of all 3 of our models available soon,” says Rockford Chief Operating Officer, Marlo Schaaf.

The 72-unit townhome development adds plenty of stylish allure to the southeast community’s charming streetscape. “The contemporary design of our townhomes complements the urban characteristic of Walden,” she tells Calgary New Home + Condo Guide.

Axis’ floorplans are both functional and aesthetically pleasing. They have recently updated the selection packages with some great new standard selections, as well as a large variety of affordable upgrade options, including new MDF shaker cabinetry, 12-by-24-inch floor tile and some great new mosaic backsplash tile.

“We are excited to be building a new show home to feature our new standard finishings, which include luxury vinyl plank, ceramic floor tile, quartz throughout, stainless steel appliances and of course the quality of construction and materials that Rockford purchasers are accustomed to getting in their new homes,” she adds.

Rockford does offer more flexibility for purchasers to customize items in their home. “So, when it’s completed and our homeowners move in there is a satisfaction that their new home is truly a reflection of them,” Schaaf says.

Axis currently offers three models with two or three bedrooms. The Y model features a single-attached garage with a developable basement, this popular model has been our flagship since our inception and we only have 7 of them left at Axis “We will have units available for possession by winter this year,” Schaaf says.

 

 

The X Model has a double tandem garage and a great open concept flexible main floor and will have units ready for quick possession by this fall. And the Z model comes with a double-attached garage, a spacious main floor and will be ready for occupancy in spring next year.

Axis has been a hit among young professionals as well as young families. “With two- and three-bedroom options available this development is really attractive to couples with kids and professionals that want or need a home office. Also, our low condo fees that provide a low maintenance lifestyle where you don’t need to shovel snow in the winter, cut grass in the summer or worry about exterior maintenance on your home,” she says.

And with a starting price of $329,900 +GST it remains a stylish, affordable option for many.

Its location in the 5,000-acre smart growth community of Walden is one of the biggest draws for Axis. This Genstar community in the southeast has terrific accessibility to downtown through Macleod Trail, and is an excellent gateway for a quick trip to Kananaskis via Highway 22.

It is an already established community with plenty of amenities already available to use. The Gates of Walden shopping center right in the community provides plenty of convenience, and includes a Shoppers Drug Mart, Windsor Rose Pub, Pet Planet, Starbucks, RBC and a variety of other shops and services to come shortly.

And more are coming soon, including the massive Township shopping district that is just about ready to fully open.

Walden also has seven kilometres of trails within the community itself and 10 parks and playgrounds, also its proximity to Fish Creek Park and all the recreational opportunities it offers cannot be overstated.
