The Proposal

Markham Rd. & Dunelm St.

We are proposing a range of well-designed condominiums, townhouses, a park and open space for the corner of Markham Rd. and Dunelm St.

A Growing Community

The corner of Markham Rd. and Dunelm St. is brimming with potential and we hope to bring it to life. Currently a swath of underutilized land, we envision a modern hub of activity, bustling with residences, various amenity spaces in a centralized open space, and a new public park that will serve as a destination for the broader community.

This development proposes building designs that are respectful of neighbours and the pedestrian experience. Building heights fit within the context of the site and provide transitions that ensure a considerate progression to our low-rise neighbours. An ample amount of outdoor space, including a new public park, creates an inviting environment for community members to travel through.

This proposal includes

  • 1.1-acre park and ample outdoor amenity space  
  • 4 condominium buildings
  • 2 townhouse blocks
  • Nearly 800 residential units
  • Underground parking spaces and bicycle storage
  • Newly designed pedestrian spaces
  • Affordable homeownership model

Our Vision

Our vision is to complement and enhance the existing neighbourhood with residences that will combine modern design, various building types, improved pedestrian spaces and parkland.

  • New Pedestrian Spaces

    The development proposal includes considerable improvements to the site. We imagine a large outdoor space in the centre of the site and smaller ones throughout that residents of all ages can use for various activities. Pedestrian-friendly walkways will weave through the site and provide easy access to outdoor spaces, the future public park and residences on site.

    Our landscape proposal includes the following: 

    • Green promenade & centralized open space 
    • Rain garden & butterfly garden
    • Fire lounge & off-leash dog area
    • Children’s play & adult fitness areas

    • A new 1.1-acre public park that will provide additional recreational space for local residents
    • Market housing that is more affordable for families and individuals who want to move to or stay in the Scarborough Village neighhourhood
    • Fully animated streetscape that would otherwise be unused space
