Kylemore breaks ground at Angus Glen South Village in Unionville
June 11, 2024
To celebrate the start of construction at Angus Glen South Village in Unionville, Cailey Stollery, CEO, and Frank Spaziani, president, along with the Kylemore team, In2ition sales team, two families from among the first purchasers and special guests were joined by Markham’s Mayor Frank Scarpitti and Councillor Amanda Yeung Collucci. Sales of this highly anticipated master-planned community launched in fall 2020, and the recent official ground-breaking celebration kicked-off the building of hundreds of new homes.
The construction is another milestone in the creation of Kylemore’s prestigious new neighbourhood which comprises 132 acres of developable area, more than 96 acres of open space, and will ultimately have more than 1,000 residences, including midrise condos, plus retail and office space. This development of luxury single-detached homes and townhomes is taking shape on the western portion of the former York Downs Golf Course in Markham.
Walkable streetscapes and convenient access
“Angus Glen South Village is an exciting continuation of Kylemore’s tradition of excellence of earlier home collections,” says Stollery. “Like neighbouring Angus Glen Community, our master plan incorporates the best planning principles of New Urbanism. In the South Village, open greenspace, walkable streetscapes and convenient access to local amenities, shops, services and restaurants and along Unionville’s historic Main Street will encourage neighbourly interaction. As well, the preserved valley greenway and existing mature trees will help to establish the community’s identity and promote a sense of belonging among residents.”
Spaziani adds, “Today, we’re on the path toward delivering on our commitment to build new homes for our customers and we’re delighted to be joined by some of our Angus Glen South Village purchasers, who are looking forward to moving into their new home. Together, we’re celebrating a new beginning of providing much needed homes.”
More than one-third of the former golf course lands will be dedicated to the City of Markham and secured for the enjoyment of the whole community and future generations. The plan includes rehabilitation of habitat within the conserved valley, designated entryways to the trail system, along with neighbourhood parks, woodlot and ponds, further promoting a connection with nature. Pathways will link to adjoining established neighbourhoods.
Within the surrounding area, Angus Glen South Village benefits from nearby Angus Glen Golf Club, existing and planned schools, and a major community centre. Angus Glen South Village is located a few minutes to Hwys. 407 and 404 and two GO stations.
Farmhouse architectural styling
“The simplicity of farmhouse architectural styling provided the genesis for a new collection of homes enhanced with highly tailored modern details,” says Spaziani.
Exterior materials include architectural stone, brick, stucco, siding and metal panels, combining textured and smooth surfaces creatively. Among the complementary colour palettes, a white brick exterior contrasted with dark window frames adds a touch of modernism.
The first phase within this multi-phase community sold quickly and includes townhomes in large sizes from 2,000 to 2,700 sq. ft. and an array of multi-generational detached homes ranging from 2,500 to more than 6,000 sq. ft. Lot widths range from approximately 30 to 70 ft. Interior layouts provide future residents with flex space to accommodate different uses, such as meditation/yoga spaces, work-from-home offices and functional mud rooms. Optional lofts, double primary bedrooms, nanny/in-law suites, self-contained apartments, coach homes and two kitchens enable purchasers to customize their home to suit their family’s lifestyle.
The homes feature oversized windows, as current technology allows for larger-than-usual window-to-wall ratios. These generous openings are complimented by 10-ft. main floor, nine-ft. upper level and high basement ceiling heights to enhance natural light, improve ventilation and brighten the interior. Future-proofing inclusions such as EV charging plug, solar panel ready rough-in, triple-glazed windows that help with energy savings, and heating and cooling costs, and towards achieving a lower carbon footprint.
Prices range from more than $2 million to more than $5 million.
