York Region's Rising Urban Downtown
Markham Centre is York Region's most ambitious and dynamic urban development project — a rapidly growing downtown core centred around Highway 7 and Warden Avenue in the heart of the City of Markham. Over the past decade, Markham Centre has transformed from a commercial and light-industrial district into one of the GTA's most exciting mixed-use urban environments, featuring dozens of condominium towers, luxury rental buildings, major corporate campuses, and a growing ecosystem of restaurants, cafés, retail, and entertainment that is redefining what urban life in York Region can look and feel like.
The neighbourhood is the employment heart of Markham — home to the Canadian headquarters of IBM, AMD, Huawei, Motorola, Apple, and dozens of other major technology corporations that collectively make Markham the tech capital of Canada outside of downtown Toronto. This corporate concentration has driven demand for urban housing in Markham Centre from high-income technology professionals who want to live near where they work, and has been the primary catalyst for the neighbourhood's extraordinary development velocity.
Markham Centre's transit infrastructure is a key pillar of its appeal — with the Unionville GO Station providing direct rail service to Union Station, the Viva Rapidway bus rapid transit system on Highway 7 connecting residents east and west across York Region, and the planned Yonge North Subway Extension that will eventually bring TTC subway service directly to Markham Centre. For investors, first-time condo buyers, and urban professionals, Markham Centre represents the GTA's most compelling transit-oriented real estate opportunity outside of downtown Toronto.
"Markham Centre is the GTA's most exciting urban opportunity — world-class employers, transit, dining, and a condo market that is still in the early innings of its growth story."
