Riverside by Times Group is coming soon to Markham!
By Lucas on Sep 23, 2015
Very exciting news for those in search of luxury condo living in Markham - Times Group Corporation has announced the latest phase of their master-planned community, Uptown Markham. The new residence, Riverside, will feature two residential buildings at Highway 7 and Markham Centre.
One of the residential buildings at Riverside will rise eight storeys, while the taller tower will reach 28 storeys. The building will act as a “bridge” connecting the Rouge River to Highway 7 with a landscaped courtyard that will be perfect for community events, markets, and public art exhibitions.
Recognizing that this area of Markham appeals to a wide range of demographics, Times Group has made the smart decision of including accessibility features in 10% of the suites at Riverside. These suites will accommodate those who require the use of a wheelchair, electric scooter or walker. Other types of buyers that will be interested include singles, couples, small to medium families, and even first-time buyers since prices are starting in the mid $200,000s.
If you have your heart set on investing in Markham, then Riverside has a very special selling feature for you. The new York University campus will be only a 15-minute walk from Riverside. It’s a great opportunity to rent to a student or if you have a child who is planning to go to York University one day, this could be the perfect place for them to live. The new York University campus is scheduled for completion by 2019, around the same time that Riverside is scheduled for completion.
Another thing we really like about the Uptown Markham master-plan is that 50 of the 88 acres that the community takes up are designated for natural environment. These preserved lands will do wonders for the community and ensure that the residents always have a view of greenery and nearby parks to visit.
There are also a number of bike trails and routes nearby, and they are being expanded. Times Group is actively promoting the use of bicycles as a means of transportation in this great neighbourhood, and for those who prefer driving, there will be 21 charging stations for electric vehicles.
Speaking of sustainability, the master-planned community is being built to LEED Gold standards and will use a number of sustainable features, such as integrated fan coil units, LED lighting, and a variety of sustainable construction materials. Remember, a developer with the quality of the environment in mind is a developer with a bright vision of the future.
In addition to a wealth of neighbourhood amenities and a fantastic courtyard, Riverside will offer its own collection of convenient resident-exclusive amenities. The 10th floor rooftop terrace will feature an outdoor swimming pool with a sun deck and landscaped terrace with barbecues. The outdoor area will be connected to an indoor lounge with a bar and flatscreen TVs, as well as the guest suites.
Other amenities at Riverside will include a fitness facility, a ping pong room, a billiards room, a card room, and a library/WiFi lounge. The extravagant party room will be comprised of a dining room and bar, a servery, and access to a private, quiet outdoor dining area which will overlook the Rouge River.
This premier Markham community is within walking distance of a European style plaza, which seamlessly blends residential and retail spaces. There is also a Whole Foods, many restaurants, and top rated schools within a close proximity. Plus, the VIVA, TTC, and GO stations are all easily accessible, so getting around town without a car is a breeze.
