Markham combines heritage streetscapes in Unionville and Markham Village with some of the most consistently built modern subdivisions in York Region. The result is a city where a renovation might mean carefully matching 1870s trim profiles or delivering a flawless Level 5 finish in a 2012 build.

Cornell, Berczy Village, Wismer and Greensborough are 1998 onward — tall basements, poured foundations, modern services and predictable framing. Unionville and Markham Village hold protected heritage properties where exterior alterations are tightly controlled. Milliken and Middlefield are 1970s and 80s stock.
Markham's newer subdivisions have narrow side yards despite large homes, so we confirm setback clearance for a separate entrance before design rather than discovering it at plan review.
Permits & approvals — City of Markham Building Standards
Markham permits second suites subject to Building Standards approval and registration. Heritage Conservation District properties in Unionville and Markham Village require additional review for any exterior change, including a new basement entrance or a rear deck.
