1 Uptown Drive & 8200-8228 Birchmount Road

Riverpark Condos is located at 1 Uptown Drive in the Unionville neighbourhood. This Markham condo stands 20 storeys tall, clad in red brick with white stone accents and shaded glass windows. This tower was constructed in 2014 and is the first phase in the Uptown Markham development, which includes: Riverwalk Condos.

1 Uptown Drive is surrounded by conveniently located shops and restaurants, but residents have plenty of great amenities to entertain them at home; an indoor pool, a recreation room, a theatre room, a fitness centre, and a pre-school play centre for kids. There’s also a 24 hour concierge service, underground parking, and guest suites.

In addition to great amenities, this development touts several green initiatives: Heat Recovery Ventilators, Double glazed, Low-E windows for better insulation, on-site stormwater treatment, and more.

The trend of climate conscious features continues in the suites with energy star appliances, low-flow, high pressure showers, and indoor air quality systems. These homes range in size from 511 square feet to 1665 square feet. The building offers some incredibly unique floor plans, including cavernous 1600 square foot 1 bedroom plus dens.

Suites feature stone counters and designer cabinets. Units can have hardwood or high-end laminate or vinyl flooring. Highly efficient open concept layouts provide a great space for entertaining and allow sunlight to beam in through the large floor to ceiling windows.

1 Uptown Drive is an excellent choice for buyers and renters who feel squeezed in downtown Toronto condos; these homes tend to have large bedrooms — and master bedrooms have walk-in closets. All suites have private balconies and stacked laundry.

Unionville is a neighbourhood with an old-world feel, especially in the downtown area where many of the community’s historic structures still stand today.

1 Uptown Dr is only steps from Highway 7, one of the busiest roads in the area and a major centre for business development. Condo residents can stroll to Panera Bread for a coffee and pastry in the morning, grab Five Guys for lunch, and Xiang Zi Hotpot for dinner — all within a 2 minute walk.

Fast food chains are located nearby on Highway 7; there are huge chains like McDonald’s and locally owned takeout spots such as Honeymoon Dessert. King Edward's Arms is a popular watering hole in the neighbourhood, as is St. Louis Bar & Grill. Residents can catch a performance or comedy act at Flato Markham Theatre or spend a relaxing evening at Millennium Park.

Whether you’re shopping for a birthday or just treating yourself, First Markham Place plays host to a great offering of boutiques. As well, strips malls can be found scattered throughout the neighbourhood.

Riverpark Condos is a great locale for getting things done on foot; Richard & Ruth’s No Frills is less than a 5 minute walk from the building for any grocery needs; Whole Foods Market is close as well, located on Highway 7.

Commuting by public transit is possible, but not preferred. There are bus routes on Highway 7 connecting to Unionville GO, however, bus service can be slow.

Commuting by car is much quicker — heading west on Highway 7 will put you on the 404 in roughly 8 minutes of driving.
