Oh looks like a good turn out in the background! Need more marquee retail!

Why would it be a bad idea? Markham already has Flato nearby beside Unionville High. This would be an updated and large capacity venue which I can see any shows or arts would be hosted at the new arts centre.

I dont know if Gallery Towers will be a good buy, but once its completed, Im sure it's going to be a nice marquee building in the middle of the downtown hub. These are York Condo facilities and they look pretty nice, I imagine that Gallery is going to be just as nice if not better.

Since no one updates this thread anymore, thought I'd try :) Lots of dirt being moved around the area. Ive been here about 7 years and this is the most action I've seen happening all at once. New School (Markham Centre PS) was approved and slated for opening 2026 (was 2024, but got bumped for...

All the car dealerships moving to Hwy 7, now there's Audi across from Whole Foods and used to be Volvo (space now taken over by VW), then there's the Ford dealership moving east of Markville to west of Kennedy beside Shoppers Drug Market (used to be a used car dealership). Was hoping that it...

I'm super excited to see this completed! Looks like the marquee building with DT Markham! All the other ones have been smaller, I look forward to what fills in the retail space!

I just noticed the proposed re-development of everything along Kennedy. All the retail such as Shell, Jiffy, all the car dealerships (Ford, Honda, MB) and entire New Kennedy Square will all be replaced with high rise residential buildings. Where is all the retail/commercial going to go? I hope...

I can't wait for them to open Yorktech drive west of Warden. It would alleviate so much traffic on hwy 7. That big major park looks interesting too on the west end. Wonder what that will look like. Overall I'm excited for these proposed changes, too bad I'll be dead before it all get built lol.

I'm excited to see what retail moves into these buildings! I wonder if a grocery store will take the large retail space now that Warden/7 is being rezoned for residential.

Hmm looks like something happened to the Poke Guys front window facade, looked like the glass was completely broken. I only got a glimpse as I drove by. Saw at least 3x cop cars, I hope it wasnt an overnight break-in/robbery but only plausible thing I can think of. With all the new surrounding...

They're finally starting to build out the park beside York Condos. Should be completed by end of year. I look forward to some green space!

It's no Aurora Go Stations. Passed by that one while going to a friend's house. That thing looked really nice... A proper station. So sad that Unionville is nothing like that.

Hmm link opens blank page for me on mobile. I'll try laptop when I get a chance. Been looking for any updated info... The area has been under development for 15 years and isn't even remotely completed. I bet the builders are waiting for Buttonville to close down to put up super high towers...

Signage went up. Looks like Canada Computers will take over the old Futureshop space (how fitting). Glad that there's a computer store nearby as I knew CC old spot was going to be new townhomes, glad they found a home just beside.

Wow this node is pretty much dead lol. Last post was from Dec 2019. No one lives here anymore? Heh. The old Future shop at Hwy 7 and Warden is being repainted to all blue. No signage yet but wondering what is moving in? Another Best buy or Marshal?

Ah, I didnt realize that there was a movie theatre that took over, I must have never noticed (or dont go in that plaza much heh) GoPlace is now open, BlogTO did a piece on it, looks interesting inside. $55 to spend the entire day in the spa, cheaper than hotels haha :) Just sleep on a lounge...

Looks like they found a tenant for the old Cineplex theatre @ First Markham Place. Surprised that anyone would fill it, look at Parkway Cineplex @ Hwy 7 and East Beaver, which has been empty for what? 20 years? Massive Spa complex! https://www.goplace.com/

Got a letter for receipt of rezone. Max previous was 1x 19 Storey Tower, accomodating maximum 530 units. Now they're trying to rezone to build 2x 39-towers, accomodating a total of 833 appartment units. I cant imagine how busy this area will get after all these condos are built.

Even with NoFrills and Whole Foods nearby, not sure if another grocery chain would want to come into the area. I'm hoping there will be one near Enterprise in the Gallery development

Tables are setup, looks like soft opening going to happen soon, just in time for summer, whenever that will be. Lots of digging happening @ The Gallery right beside it.
