I figured this was bound to happen sooner or later.

An application was submitted to convert the 99-unit long-term-stay portion of the Hilton to residential as well as add two 21-storey residential buildings along Clegg Road (currently a parking lot).

This is across the street from the Fontana development, which is under construction: http://urbantoronto.ca/forum/showth...arden-in-Markham-Ctr-H-amp-W-Dev-2x-16-12-10s)

Mods can we update the thread title to indicate that this is now a massive project with 55s towers:

Goodness...that one building there looks like a kid's slide.

lol. These suburban densities are getting crazy. I thought the block further south on Warden was out to lunch on their density request..

Highway 7 and Warden Avenue has the potential to be a huge anchor node, given it's right where the VIVA Rapidway splits. Lots of development potential here, and if Markham is serious about making this area a downtown, this is a good place to start. The plan as it exists right now is pretty nuts, though - 5 towers over 50 storeys!? And I hope the renders are just representative of massing because those are some downright ugly towers on Courtyard and Clegg.

More concept renders here.

Just a note:

1st render above should read: Oblique view looking East Southeast.

2nd render is looking South Southwest,

3rd render is looking West.

Pre-application consultation request has been received for a Site Plan Control for Phase 1 proposing 42 storeys / 620 units on the northeast corner of Clegg Road & Courtyard Lane:

It takes real effort to cram that much density in and still doesn't create a sense of place. It's like someone just slapped a bunch of towers on site.

The only good design one can glean from those renderings is the vintage VW Beetle.

Isn't that the building that was supposed to include the giant slide? Where's Godzilla's kid supposed to play now if his fam stops by for a friendly visit?

 

[Solaris]

That is one ugly slab of a building with stupid shadows in tow
