Daniels FirstHome™ Markham Sheppard Summary
This is a newly proposed mid-rise development that is being developed through the partnership of The Daniels Corporation and Diamondcorp. Daniels FirstHome™ Markham Sheppard is located in Scarborough only minutes away from shops, restaurants and entertainment options, as well as only ten minutes away from the Highway 401.
This is an ambitious project, containing mid-rise elements, stacked townhomes, a new park and over 3,000 square feet of amenity space. It’s designed to appeal to a range of residents, especially growing families. Featuring innovative, sustainable architecture, this is a project that is likely to set the standard for new developments in the growing area.
Amenities
This development project will be a mid-rise condo building containing 310 units. This will include three six-storey mid-rise residential buildings, as well as four three-storey stacked townhouse blocks.
There will be 214 mid-rise condo units and 96 townhome units. There will be car entrances via two access points from Orchid Park Drive on the southern side of the property. There are plans for 405 parking spots, including 20 above ground spots. There will be 164 one-bedroom units, 105 two-bedroom units, and 28 three (plus) bedroom units.
A range of amenities is proposed for the project. These include community gardens and a greenhouse, as well as outdoor dining and barbecue areas, a children’s play zone, and a parkette with benches and chess tables.
Indoor amenities will span over 3,500 square feet, with fitness and programming facilities and entertaining space.
With a combination of modern architecture and warm tones, the project will also serve as the first six-storey residential wood-framed development built in the Greater Toronto Area. Using wood-framed structural elements is an innovative move that helps to increase sustainability and decrease development costs.
A network of pedestrian paths throughout will make the development a sustainable, friendly and picturesque place to call home. Daniels really excels at building these kinds of communities and this project is no exception.
