    In Downtown Markham...

    Our community members are diverse (in fact, Markham is the most diverse city in the Western World's most diverse nation), multi-lingual (2/3 of Markham's population speaks two or more languages), highly educated (60% of Markham's work force has a post secondary education), well-employed (likely in one of more than 10,000 companies located here) and incredibly trend conscious.

    On any given weekend in Downtown Markham, visitors will likely observe line-ups of "sneakerheads" awaiting a limited edition shoe release from one of our boutique stores, or find themselves admiring the never-ending parade of luxury cars that pull into one of our art-adorned parking garages on their way to work, class, or dinner and a VIP movie.

    The Remington Group develops a wide range of residential products, and an abnormally large ratio of 2- and 3-Bedroom condominium suites is attracting a variety of family households, from young professionals and empty nesters to small families in search of an urban lifestyle.
