Unionglen

Markham offers a well-rounded mix of everyday conveniences and lifestyle draws for residents in this part of the city. Established shopping centres, grocery stores, restaurants, and community services are within reach, and the surrounding area is known for its blend of established neighbourhoods and newer developments. Families will find the region well served by schools and recreational facilities typical of Markham's suburban communities.

The community sits near Kennedy Road and Major Mackenzie Drive East, giving residents direct access to Markham's arterial road network. Highway 407 and Highway 404 are the primary routes for commuters heading across the GTA, and York Region Transit provides local bus service throughout Markham, with GO Transit connections available in the broader area for trips into downtown Toronto.

Unionglen is a joint effort by Opus Homes and Fairgate Homes, two builders active in the Greater Toronto Area's low-rise and freehold home market. Both focus on family-oriented communities, and this collaboration brings their combined experience to Markham's growing housing supply.

Buying pre-construction at a community like Unionglen usually begins with registering for first access, which puts you in line for pricing and floor plans as each release opens. Because early phases often bring the most choice in lots and layouts, registering early can matter for freehold buyers.

Deposits on new freehold homes are typically staged over time rather than paid all at once, with the schedule set out in your purchase agreement. Instead of an interim occupancy period, freehold buyers generally close and take possession once the home is complete and ready.

For new condominium purchases in Ontario, buyers have a 10-day cooling-off period under the Condominium Act; note that this statutory right applies to condos rather than freehold homes. Review your agreement carefully and consult a lawyer before signing.
