Unionglen is a collaboration among several established Greater Toronto Area homebuilders, including Arista Homes, Deco Homes, Fieldgate Homes, Forest Hill Homes, State Building Group, Greenpark Group and Madison Group. These builders have long track records constructing residential communities across the GTA and York Region, focusing on freehold homes and master-planned neighbourhoods.

Buying pre-construction at a community like Unionglen usually begins by registering for early access, which puts you in line for information on floor plans and pricing before general release. Purchasing early in a release phase can matter because a builder may adjust pricing as phases sell.

Deposits on new freehold homes are typically structured in installments over time rather than paid all at once, with the schedule set out in your agreement of purchase and sale. Because these are freehold homes rather than condominiums, closing generally happens once the home is complete and ready to occupy, without the interim occupancy period common to condos.

Note that Ontario's statutory 10-day cooling-off period under the Condominium Act applies to new condominium purchases and does not extend to freehold homes. Review your agreement carefully and consider independent legal advice before signing.
