Markham is poised for a significant residential shift as plans advance for a 33-storey mixed-use rental tower at 455 Ferrier Street. Designed by BDP Quadrangle for St Mark’s Koinonia Housing Corp., this project marks the first phase of the ambitious Saint Mark’s Coptic Canadian Village masterplan. The development aims to transform underutilized space surrounding the existing St Mark’s Coptic Orthodox Cathedral into a high-density hub, contributing 425 purpose-built rental units to the region. The unit mix includes 348 one-bedroom and 77 two-bedroom suites, with a strong commitment to affordability, featuring 156 affordable housing units. Located near the Steeles Avenue East corridor, the site benefits from proximity to the Milliken GO Station and future transit investments. As development intensifies along the Steeles corridor, this project serves as a key indicator of Markham’s evolving urban landscape.
