Located in the Kedron neighbourhood, The Heights of Harmony launched in June 2020 and introduced Net Zero upgrades on select single-family homes to the Oshawa region, alongside the debut of a new Modern Farmhouse architectural style. At present, a second phase of release from the award-winning community is slated to launch this fall. The Heights of Harmony’s success-to-date alongside the repeated recognition from the DRHBA Awards of Excellence are positive indicators as Minto Communities GTA prepares to expand their presence in the Durham Region.
“It is an honour to be recognized by the Durham Region Home Builder’s Association 2022 Awards of Excellence across multiple categories,” says Mike LaPlante, Vice President of Land Development, Minto Communities GTA.“We are especially proud of our award wins in the design categories as we are always striving to craft homes that will support the needs of diverse residents. These awards are a fantastic milestone as we continue to conceptualize early plans for our upcoming projects in Brooklin and Courtice. Durham Region is one of the fastest growing areas in the country, and we’re proud to be part of its story.”
In February 2022, Minto Communities GTA announced the acquisition of four new GTA sites, with two located in Durham Region’s Brooklin and Courtice communities. The 27-acre Brooklin site is located at the northwest corner of Columbus Rd and Baldwin St N with tentative plans for 190 residences in a mix of single-family, traditional townhomes, and rear-lane townhomes. The 100-acre Courtice site is in Clarington and will follow a similar residence mix with single-family homes, traditional townhomes, and rear-lane townhomes planned as well. Though both communities are still in early conceptual stages, there will be an emphasis on making each pedestrian-friendly and walkable, featuring parks and green spaces, while incorporating leading sustainability technologies.
