"We knew designing a community in the centre of a municipality like Markham would demand excellence in design and expert planning for residents. It was essential for us to emphasize the beauty of the natural surroundings and create communal spaces for families to gather. We're so glad purchasers have responded so positively to Union Village and are excited to release more residences in our later phases of launch."Union Village comprises two parcels of development, split down the middle by the Bruce Creek.
