Mods: another change to this one. It's now "Station Town" by National Homes, which will now consist of two 18-story buildings and 56 townhomes. Website: https://nationalhomes.com/station-town-in-markham/ The design of the project is light years ahead of the other proposals in the posts above...

Looks like one is indeed planned: http://urbantoronto.ca/news/2018/01/well-updated-drawings-reveal-further-design-refinements

It also makes me wonder if Cineplex will move to the Well and Riocan will simply redevelop Riocan Square into condos with retail at the base, and possibly a hotel or office space. It would certainly be in Riocan's interest to drive traffic to the Well. In either case, let's hope the next...

It's weird seeing archival photos from the late 90s. So many great memories at that theatre, but redevelopment makes absolute sense given how much the neighbourhood has changed. It will be tough living without a theatre in the area for years while this is being redeveloped though.

I'm surprised no one has posted about the cuts to Stouffville service:

Is the food court going to flood every time we get heavy rains?

My palms are sweating already!

I think it's the 388 King West Project: https://urbantoronto.ca/forum/threads/toronto-388-king-west-146m-33s-allied-hariri-pontarini.16799/page-7 Edit: no, that's King and Peter, sorry.

I love it -- Toronto really seems to be leading the way in terms of projects that build over and around heritage structures.

If so, I'd then expect purple to funnel riders to Yonge once the subway extension is finished but otherwise drastic increases in service on the north/south routes to feed the various stations along Sheppard would be needed. Highway 7 will always be the spine of York Region, especially once it...

Something new? If a McCowan/Sheppard station was built, I think this would be the primary destination for east Markham, even if the Yonge Line is also extended to Highway 7 given it would be so much closer.

I can't see an LRT on Sheppard having much impact on VIVA at all. If the Scarborough subway went back to the plan where it would be extended to McCowan and Sheppard, then I could see YRT routes being diverted to that station. Fully agree!

I wonder if we'll see any service improvements when the Cornell terminal opens? Will VIVA pink finally be extended east? I'm struggling to think of how many buses will actually use the terminal on day 1? VIVA purple and routes 1, 16, 18, 25 and express 303? I wonder what GO buses would use this...

I'd love to see shadowing studies on the Safdie proposal!

I find all of these buildings to be dorky clunkers, but it's forming a coherent mini-skyline at least.

This project has given us the best Tonka-style "construction porn" ever!

This is a nice surprise -- I hope Markham gets more projects like this. This is at Bur Oak and McCowan.

This development is proposed for the Royal Orchard side of the site. The golf course would continue operating. http://www2.markham.ca/markham/ccbs/indexfile/Agendas/2018/Development%20Services/pl180905/Ladies%20Golf%20Course%20Report.pdf
