History

Uptown Markham (2008 - pre-construction).

The area was planned in 2008. The City of Markham has received applications for draft plan of subdivision approval and rezoning to permit a comprehensive mixed-use development comprising approximately 48,719 square metres (524,424 square feet) of retail and office floor area and 4,240 residential units. The concept plan submitted includes a continuous street wall of buildings along the south side of Highway 7, including a 14-storey, commercial building on the southeast corner of Highway 7 and Warden Avenue, flanked by 16 and 20 storey residential buildings to the south and easterly to the Verclaire Gate intersection. The buildings would then step down in height, 16 and 12 storeys, and 8 and 6 storeys, as the site progresses to the east.
