Markham Station Town | ?m | 18s | National Homes | Kirkor Architects

This is nothing special -- looks a lot like the nearby Upper Village Development -- but it's nice to see more development near the Mount Joy GO station. It's too bad this is only happening after many of the sites closer to the GO station have already been developed as big box stores:

This site was supposed to be a large commercial project several times -- to MODS - Site is owned by: NORSTAR

That rendering is in fact of Greenpark Home's "The Upper Villlage" phase 1 proposal ... this application is known as Anagni Homes at the Town of Markham Planning Department, which is a completely different application by Eldin, who owns northerly abutting lands

The towers basically look like the Upper Village buildings going up nearby.

This is now boldly called The Towers at Castlemore.

More. Bullshit. Kirkor.

Cheap developers: Why?!

 

[kdoubled]

Is this project/proposal dead? Absolutely nothing has been done at the site....

Mods: this is now being marketed as "Imperial Gate." Thx

Mods: another change to this one. It's now "Station Town" by National Homes, which will now consist of two 18-story buildings and 56 townhomes.

The design of the project is light years ahead of the other proposals in the posts above:

ugh, whats with every single high rise tower along Markham Road putting in that unnecessary row of parking between the high rises and the street? This stretch could have felt relatively urban with the soon to be 7 towers along it.. if they actually had real street frontage.

^^ The latter if "Hwy. 48" is any indication

Maybe because the area is so suburban, and close to the permanent urban-rural boundary, that making it more urban would look odd there.

I think this thread and its associated database entry are obsoleted by the ones for Joy Station, no?
