    Downtown Markham

    There are some vacant homes, but most of the newspapers are sitting there because very few people use their front door on a regular basis. It's a function of the garage being at the rear of the house -- your shoes wind up being in the basement at the back, so even when you go for a walk you wind...

    Downtown Markham

    The map embedded on page 40 shows there is a road planned that will run South from Sciberas and cut across Enterprise. From there, you can see there are three roads that cut over/under the GO tracks. The proposed route you suggest won't work (if it would take the path I think you're suggesting)...

    It's as if they should be planning a new road network. I propose a fast East-West corridor between 14 and 407 -- they could extend Miller Rd from Roddick to Kennedy. And they need more crossings over the Go tracks. Why haven't they thought of this?!

    Someone here suggested a while back that Remington plans to build a multi-level above-ground lot. All of the current surface lots are covered with buildings in the artist rendering that was released around the time of the Gallery Square renders, even the Cineplex ones.

    An article was published on this development in the Star on Nov 25th. New condo development helps Markham develop its city status

    Downtown Markham

    To offer another perspective ... Downtown Markham isn't really any more out of the way than anywhere else that isn't across the street from wherever a given person lives. Public transit runs through it. And if you're in a car there are routes in and out from every direction. For someone living...

    Markham Signature Condominium Collection/Marriott (Markham, Remington, 12 + 15s, Quadrangle)

    The underground lot spans the full width of both buildings. From what I've seen/heard (a very small sample size), the parking for the West building is on the West side of the lot, and the East on the East. But I don't know if that's true for every unit.

    Construction work on the restaurant next to the carousel (Terre Rouge) is scheduled to be completed in the next few weeks. I'm not clear on when the opening will be, but they've apparently hired some staff already. It sounds like it will be a bit different from their PEI location, but for what...

    Markham Signature Condominium Collection/Marriott (Markham, Remington, 12 + 15s, Quadrangle)

    It's scheduled to open in March 2018, according to Marriott. I found the link by searching Google rather than Marriott's website.

    Markham York Condos | ?m | 15s | Remington Group | BDP Quadrangle

    They're 4-8 weeks past this phase from the Signature buildings. Most of the projects seem to take a little over 3 years from start to finish. So assuming that timeline continues, the York condos should be finished in the 2nd half of 2020. But that's just me spitballing. EDIT: York currently...

    Markham 28 Main Street | ?m | ?s | LeBANC Development

    Renamed again to "Markham Square". I wonder if anyone on council pointed out how ridiculous it would be to have "Markham City Centre" adjacent to "Downtown Markham" in "Markham Centre". These names ... [ eyeroll ] http://www.idealdevelopments.com/projects/markham-square/

    Ontario government finally announced funding today for the new York campus, so that project should get moving soon.

    The Rouge Valley lands (immediately to the North of the DTM site) have been designated a national park, and will be getting trails (see PDF on this page). In addition, there are also plans for a large "urban park", which you can see on the City of Markham website. There will be loads of green...

    One of the architects from Quadrangle (which is responsible for the master plan and all of the buildings excluding the Benchmark series) said there will be more townhouses built in an interview a couple of years ago.

    Downtown Markham

    The retail space adjacent to the water feature / skating rink (re: looking west from the carousel) is going to be a restaurant: Terre Rouge Craft Kitchen. The wrap they've put on the windows says their original PEI location was voted a top 100 Canadian restaurant in 2016. The food looks...

    Can anyone repost a copy of the Quadrangle render of what appeared to be a BMO building? The image appears to have been removed from their website.

    Ack, I didn't mean to suggest they were running the stop sign intentionally but I can see why you interpreted it that way. Yeah, I think they need to put a flashing red light across the top of the Viva Busway. Stop signs on their own aren't enough IMO because there is too much going on at that...

    Now if only they'd do something about all of the people who stop in the middle of Birchmount to make a u-turn to get into your building ... that would be GREAT. :p The section of Birchmount between Enterprise and Nexus is so bizarre. I've never seen so many people pulled over for blowing...

    The new mural is being painted, whereas the one before was just printed on vinyl or something. The longevity should be better. Don't understand why they keep hiring mural artists from NY for these. There are plenty of very good Canadians, including many from the Toronto area. Here's the...
