Location & Neighborhood
UnionCity Condos will be arriving in Markham’s downtown neighbourhood, also known Unionville. This region is an excellent location for people of all ages due to its proximity to excellent amenities. This area is home to Markham’s entertainment hub and transit hub making it a great place to live and invest in.
The best part of being in the downtown area is its proximity to family-friendly urban amenities. These include a GoodLife Fitness, banks, Cineplex Cinemas Markham and VIP, and a diverse range of restaurants and speciality shops which can be found within walking distance. Downtown Markham is a 243-acre community budding with diverse, multi-lingual, highly educated, well-employed and incredibly trend-conscious members.
The Markham Civic Centre is located to the north as is Markham Town Centre. Historic downtown Unionville is situated to the east. Past that is Markville Mall, the region’s shopping centre with over 160 retail stores and services.
In the vicinity, residents will find a number of world-class fitness facilities available for use. The Rudy Bratty YMCA is located to the east as well as the Markham Pan Am Centre, a 13,657 square meter multi-purpose community and aquatics centre that contains three gymnasiums and a 50 meter-long Olympic-sized swimming pool.
Not to mention, UnionCity will sit close to many schools, including primary and secondary, catholic and public. Additionally, it will offer easy connections for future students of the York University Markham Campus. This campus will accommodate up to 4,200 students in Phase 1, with the flexibility to respond to future growth demands, when it opens in Fall 2023. The campus will sit within walking distance to the residential condos providing an excellent location for students to rent and investors to rent out.
Travelling around the area is made especially convenient with the Unionville GO Station being just a 5 minute drive from this development. From here, train commuters can travel to downtown Toronto in just 40 minutes or, conversely, they can access YRT public busses as well as the VIVA rapid bus system. This provides a direct route to Union Station at the foot of the Financial District in Toronto. These are just a few examples of how easy it is to commute around the neighbourhood.
Drivers will also benefit from the site’s connectivity – providing fast and easy access to Highway 404, 407 and the DVP. Major roads such as Birchmount and 16th make it especially easy to connect to adjacent cities including Richmond Hill, Vaughan and Toronto.
The City of Markham is booming with potential derived from a plethora of new projects coming soon; ranging from new condos, townhomes, transit, institutions, and employment opportunities galore. Markham is also known as “The Silicon Valley of the North,” and it is acknowledged as the High-Tech Capital of Canada. This is due to its concentration of high-tech and life science companies, over 1,100 of which are Fortune 500 businesses. This is home to numerous companies that are committed to research and development, pharmaceuticals, communication, manufacturing and distribution, electronics, computer software robotics, and healthcare.
