Markham Village:
a good place for small business

Growth statistics in the east end of Markham, around the Markham Village area are phenomenal.

With the improved accessibility of the 407, new developments have been built and many more have received approval from the Town of Markham. To the south, the Rouge River East has already been developed, in the east, Cornell is already half built and occupied, and on the north side of 16th Avenue, Greensborough and Wismer are currently in the process of being built.

The following is the Estimated Development Potential to 2021 for developments in the Markham Village area:

Population Area	Location	1998	2021
Cornell	East of 9th Line, north Hwy 7	1,398	20,410
Greensborough/ Swan Lake	North side of 16th Ave. East of Markham Rd	678	14,256
Rouge North-East	East of Markham Rd between 407 & 14th Ave.	962	3,093
Wismer Commons	North side of 16th Ave., west of Markham Rd	142	13,816

Most of these areas are attracting young families with great buying potential. The exception is Swan Lake, which is a high-income, gated community targeted to the over-55 year olds.

The historical growth & projected population of the Town of Markham is as follows:

Year   Population  1961     15,500  1971     36,700  1981     77,000  1991    154,000  2001    215,000  2011    260,000  2021    310,000  2031    350,000
