Complete Guide to Union Glen Markham: 2,305 Homes by 7 Builders

What Is Union Glen?

Union Glen is a landmark master-planned community of 2,305 freehold townhomes and single-family homes rising at the intersection of Kennedy Road and Major Mackenzie Drive East in Markham, Ontario. It is one of the largest new low-rise developments in the Greater Toronto Area, developed by a consortium of seven award-winning homebuilders with a combined track record of over 350 years and 100,000+ families served.

Unlike typical subdivisions built by a single developer, Union Glen brings together Arista Homes, DECO Homes, Fieldgate Homes, Greenpark Group, Madison Homes, OPUS Homes, and State Building Group — each contributing distinct architectural styles, floor plan innovations, and design philosophies. The result is a diverse, vibrant community where no two streets look the same.

Location: The Best of Unionville and Angus Glen

Union Glen occupies one of the most coveted addresses in the GTA. Situated where the historic charm of Unionville meets the prestige of the Angus Glen community, residents enjoy a rare combination of heritage character, natural beauty, and modern convenience.

The community sits directly across from Angus Glen Golf Club, one of Canada’s premier championship courses and host of both the Canadian Open and the Pan Am Games. To the south, Main Street Unionville offers one of Ontario’s most beloved heritage shopping and dining districts. To the north, the rolling green spaces and conservation lands of the Rouge Valley provide kilometres of trails and parkland.

DECO Homes (part of the TACC Group, People’s Choice Award), OPUS Homes (two-time Builder of the Year 2021 & 2024), and State Building Group (60+ years, Heritage Toronto Award) round out a roster that is unmatched in the GTA.

Home Types and Floor Plans

Rear Lane Townhomes

From 1,570 to 2,905 sq ft with 3–4 bedrooms, double-car garage, 4-car parking, and private terraces. The rear-lane design creates car-free streetscapes with all parking and garage access from the rear, resulting in more attractive front facades and safer pedestrian areas.

Courtyard Townhomes

The most spacious option at 1,865 to 3,430 sq ft with 3–5 bedrooms, double-car garage, 4-car parking, and private courtyard space. These unique layouts provide outdoor living areas that feel like a private oasis — perfect for entertaining or quiet relaxation.
