Potter’s Bend sales centre now open in Markham

When we visited Margaret, sales manager of Potter’s Bend in Markham, she revealed that people traveled from places as far as Scarborough looking for a home. Many young families were looking for school systems in addition to upsizing, with four-bedroom models being the most popular. Why is this?

Markham is one of Ontario’s fastest growing municipalities. Purchasers are happy with the convenience of the location, the excellent transportation system, education system and the shopping. ”Everything is five minutes from here,” Margaret says. “The community is 95 per cent complete, so the area is ready-made to move into.”

The town has a great location where everything you need is a short distance away. Here are a few things that stand out to us about  the community:

  • IBM is  Markham’s largest employer. There are also over 800 science and technology companies in the area
  • Markham’s population is just over 300,000 with primarily a Chinese population followed by Canadian, East Indian and European
  • Markham has a slew of public and private schools with some of the highest entrance rates into university and college
  • Post-secondary institution Seneca College has a campus in Markham at Highway 7 and the 404
  • Markham uses Viva, a groundbreaking plan created by York Regional Transit. The town also has its own GO station
  • Because of Markham’s German heritage, museums and farms dot the town’s landscape along with parks and trails
  • Markham has many malls, but its three largest ones are Market Village, Markville Shopping Centre and Pacific Mall

Potter’s Bend: Construction update from Markham

For our next construction update we visit Markham again, and our Potter’s Bend development.

Last time we were here at the beginning of the year, the site upon which Phase 3 is situated was barren. In a few short months there has been a big change! Check out these photos for an idea of what’s happening on site.

The foundations of a new road servicing Phase 3 have been laid and will provide direct access from 16th Avenue

Most of the work being carried out on site now is bricklaying, with crews working hard to get all 32 units ready for occupancy

 

First Occupancy is scheduled for the end of November and the first 5 or 6 units are being dry-walled as we speak.

The next big phase of work will be to complete all of the finishing

As with all of our sites, some lots are further along than others.

Work is continuing according to schedule and the first of our purchasers will be called for their pre-drywall inspection soon.

Inside looking out

Phase 3 of Potter’s Bend is quite far along in the construction progress and with site supervisor Brad running a tight ship, we expect everything to remain on schedule.

Are you a Potter’s Bend purchaser? We want to hear from you! Say hello and feel free to ask any questions on our Facebook and Twitter pages.
