Just by seeing all the available vacant retail spaces still available between the ground floor at nexus condos as well as 169-179 Enterprise, do they really need to build more retail spaces?
Looks like they're having a difficult time finding tenants. Imo residential space is more of a hot commodity.
Does Remington not have any plans of building any more townhome complexs or even detached homes in downtown Markham?
When we purchased at Benchmark, the master plan did not include other townhomes and detached within the area. Of course that can always change but if they wanted residential, building upwards is the way to go.
You need retail space to attract residential, especially condos. The convenience of going downstairs to do whatever you need without driving is nice. That's why a large grocery store within the area would be key.
Absolutely right in the aspect of close proximity retail and condos go hand in hand. However imo, for this area of Markham, all the development can not just be condos, office towers and retail buildings. It will just be another concrete jungle. If that's the route Remington is going, it might be time to start incorporating some public green space since this is such a family and pet oriented community. Definitely would be nice to have another low rise development in the future.

Some updates for Signature Condos, purchasers of building K unit will start taking occupancy in June 26th. and then it moves on for the building J, the last few units of the penthouse levelwill take occupancy before middle of November, 2017. Also, Marriott Hotel will start operation towards the end of November (if I am not wrong with the date).
One more thing that I learnt was, the Pride of Canada carousel will eventually be relocated to the future park and condo will be built at the end.
Building K2 will be a high rise condo, you won't see any action until Buttonville Airport close down, the hight restriction is lifted.
The single-detached homes in the corner just look so out of place next to that density.
Here are the floorplans for those of you that are interested
