Since 1985
Why choose a Markay home?
For over 41 years, well over a thousand families have chosen Markay to build a home for them. Each family has had their own set of unique reasons to make that decision.
To some it was the details of flowing floorplans, spectacular ceilings, intricate fireplace designs and innovative kitchens. To others it was floor-to-ceiling windows, sleek American-style staircases and ingenious lofted spaces. Still others were inspired by finishes like tumbled marble quarried in Italy and imported hand-crafted tiles.
There is one thread shared by every family who chooses a Markay home. Something people turn to Markay for in neighbourhoods throughout the GTA — from Burlington to Mississauga to Oakville to Toronto.
If we may suggest, perhaps one could call it ‘the chance to escape the ordinary’.
The Markay homeowner
Someone who has never been completely comfortable with the idea of compromise.
Someone who recognises that architects seldom draw their best plans using a cookie cutter. Someone who understands that better materials really do make a better end product. Someone who sees a standard floorplan as perhaps a little two-dimensional. Someone who knows the difference between what a home costs and what it’s worth.
If that sounds like you, then perhaps it is time to step up to a Markay original. It won’t cost you more, but owning one is a certain way to make your mark.
Looking ahead
The next chapter.
