Avenue Towns: Experience Markham’s Main Attractions

Markham has developed a reputation as a world-class city, known for its rich culture, growing downtown core, and several quaint heritage neighbourhoods. It’s attracted global corporations, industrious entrepreneurs, and a growing population drawn to the city for its fantastic location, connection to Toronto, vast conservation areas, and unique shopping, dining and entertainment.

Camcos is pleased to introduce, Avenue Towns, a collection of urban townhomes coming soon to 14th Avenue and McCowan in Markham. Its location, just south of Highway 407, places it minutes from some of the city’s main attractions.
