A PROPOSAL FOR NEW HOUSING AND STREETSCAPE IMPROVEMENTS NEXT TO AN EXISTING RENTAL COMMUNITY.
THE PROPOSAL AT A GLANCE
The northwest corner of Markham Road and Brimorton Drive, which is located a convenient walking distance from the future Durham-Scarborough BRT, will become part of an evolving urban mixed-use neighbourhood in the Markham and Ellesmere area.
The vision for the property is to introduce two new residential buildings at the corner of Markham Road and Brimorton Drive, to exist beside the current purpose-built rental building. By keeping the existing rental building and adding two new residential buildings, we ensure the existing residents of the community have a place to call home uninterrupted and we make new places for new community members to call home. A re-aligned driveway entrance off of Brimorton Drive will service all three buildings and improve pedestrian and vehicle connections, while the new development will allow for an improved public realm with new landscaping and outdoor amenity space for residents.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
DELIVER A RANGE OF NEW HOUSING OPTIONS
The proposed buildings will include much-needed new housing supply in a range of bedrooms and sizes to accommodate a broader range of residents in a neighbourhood that is evolving into a more urban, mixed-use community.
IMPROVE THE STREETSCAPE AND CONNECTIVITY
The proposed buildings will allow for reinvestment in the public realm, and the streetscape will include wider sidewalks, updated landscaping, new lighting and street furniture. By re-aligning the driveway entrance on Brimorton Drive to accommodate the new buildings, two distinctive blocks will be created with new centralized parking and servicing access for all buildings.
INCREASE AMENITY SPACE FOR EXISTING RESIDENTS
The proposal allows for the opportunity to secure improvements to the existing 1050 Markham Road building, which will be determined in consultation with residents. In addition, the proposed buildings will include new grade-related outdoor amenity spaces that will be accessible to all existing residents, for an enhanced living experience.
