Gallery Square is a 16-storey, 600-suite condo by The Remington Group at Birchmount Road and Simcoe Promenade in Downtown Markham, finished around 2023 to 2024. Listing sites estimate fees near $0.65 per square foot with heat and water included. Markham condo apartments sold for a median of $558,000 in January to October 2026.
This guide is for buyers and renters looking at Gallery Square, one of the newest finished condos in Remington’s Downtown Markham. You will get what I could verify about the building, what the fees cover, how its age affects rent rules and warranty, what Markham condos sell and rent for, and what to check before you sign in 2027.
Where is Gallery Square and what is nearby?
Gallery Square sits at Birchmount Road and Simcoe Promenade in Downtown Markham, with addresses at 8112 and 8119 Birchmount Road, 38 Simcoe Promenade and 292 Verdale Crossing. Listing sites may call the area Unionville or Markham Centre, but it is part of Remington’s master-planned Downtown Markham.
Remington points to Rouge Park, North America’s largest urban park, as a nearby draw. Within the wider district are a Cineplex VIP and IMAX theatre and a 24-hour GoodLife Fitness at The Origin, the Pride of Canada carousel, a Marriott hotel and York University’s Markham Campus. Remington’s newest phase, Gallery Towers at 190 Enterprise Boulevard, is close by and was still selling suites in November 2026.
Ground-floor shops and services in a new district often fill in over several years. Before you buy, walk the blocks around the building on a weekday evening and a weekend to see what is open and how busy it feels.
Who built Gallery Square and when was it finished?
The Remington Group developed Gallery Square, and BDP Quadrangle designed it. A building-data website shows a 2023 completion, and BDP lists the project as completed in 2024, so think of it as a 2023 to 2024 building. It rises 16 storeys and has 600 suites, a figure that matches on two building-data websites.
BDP describes art built into the design: sports court floor graphics that suites above can look down on, art-inspired furniture and framed suite entries. The firm also says the building was targeting LEED Silver certification.
What suite sizes does Gallery Square have?
A building-data website shows suites from about 400 to 2,248 square feet. Most listings on a building-data website sit between 500 and 900 square feet, which covers one-bedrooms, one-plus-dens and two-bedrooms. BDP says Gallery Square was planned with larger-than-usual two- and three-bedroom suites and luxury townhouses, so the upper end is real but less common.
- Renters and first-time buyers: one-bedrooms and one-plus-dens in the 500 to 700 square foot range.
- Couples and small families: two-bedrooms and two-plus-dens from about 700 to 900 square feet.
- Families and downsizers: the larger three-bedroom suites and townhouse-style units, which rarely come up.
What amenities does Gallery Square have?
A building-data website lists a recreation room, party room, gym, guest suites, a rooftop deck, a concierge, indoor parking and visitor parking. A building-data website does not list amenities for this building yet, which is common for newer registrations. Ask the property manager for the current list and booking rules, and whether any spaces are still being finished.
A building-data website names Remington Facilities Management as the property manager. A builder-related manager is common in a newer building. Owners can change managers later through the board, so read recent board minutes to see how owners feel about service.
How much are maintenance fees at Gallery Square?
A building-data website estimates fees at about $0.65 per square foot a month, slightly below its $0.71 average for the surrounding area. It says heat and water are included, while hydro and air conditioning are extra. Recent sale listings on a building-data website show fees of about $419 to $597 a month, as of November 2026.
To turn the per-foot figure into a budget, multiply it by the suite size. A 700-square-foot two-bedroom at $0.65 works out to about $455 a month before hydro and cooling, which you pay separately. Add property tax and insurance for your own unit, and compare the total with the rent you pay now.
New buildings often start with low fees that rise once the first full years of real costs are known. Ask for the current budget, the reserve fund study and the history of fee increases since registration. My guide to the top things to check before buying a condo lists the questions I ask.
Condo Valuation
What’s your condo
worth today?
Three quick steps. Condos don’t price like houses — your floor, your view, and whether you own parking move the number more than anything else. This weighs all of them.

What do Gallery Square condos sell and rent for?
I use City of Markham numbers, because there are too few Gallery Square sales for a reliable building average.

A newer building with larger suites will usually sit above the city median per suite, but the whole market has fallen. My page on what a Markham condo is worth shows how size, floor and parking change the number.
Can a Gallery Square landlord raise the rent by any amount?
Not by any amount, but the guideline does not cap it. Units first occupied after 15 November 2018 are exempt from Ontario’s rent increase guideline, which is 1.9% for 2027. Gallery Square was first occupied around 2023 to 2024, so its units are normally exempt, and a building-data website also lists it as not rent-controlled. The landlord still has to wait 12 months between increases and give 90 days’ written notice on the proper form. Renters should plan for bigger increases here than in a pre-2018 building.
How do you get around from Gallery Square?
UrbanToronto reported in 2025 that the neighbouring Gallery Towers is about a 10-minute walk from Unionville GO station on the Stouffville line. The same report says Viva Purple runs along Highway 7 and Enterprise Boulevard, and that Birchmount Road, Rouge Valley Drive West and Verclaire Gate have bike lanes.
What are the pros and cons of Gallery Square?
| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Built around 2023 to 2024, with newer systems and finishes | Normally exempt from the rent increase guideline, so tenants have less protection |
| Heat and water included in the fee, per a building-data website | Fees may rise as the corporation learns its real costs |
| Larger two- and three-bedroom suites than many new towers | 600 suites plus Gallery Towers next door means many similar listings |
| Walk to the cinema, gym and Unionville GO area | Ongoing construction as Downtown Markham builds out |

Who is Gallery Square best for?
It suits buyers who want a newer building without buying pre-construction, small families who need a real second or third bedroom, GO commuters, and people working or studying in Markham Centre. It is a weaker fit for renters who want rent-control protection, or for buyers who want a quiet, finished neighbourhood today. If you are buying with a tenant in place, read my guide to buying a condo that has a tenant in it; the Ontario rules are the same in Markham.
If rent control matters to you, compare Gallery Square with older Markham buildings whose units were first occupied before 15 November 2018, where the guideline normally applies. You give up newer finishes and some of the larger new layouts, but you get more predictable rent increases.
Gallery Square’s age is its biggest selling point and its biggest question. A building this new still has warranty coverage running, and you avoid the risk of a pre-construction delay. But you also inherit a young reserve fund and fees that have not settled. In my view, the right Gallery Square suite is worth a look in 2027, as long as you price it against resale, not against what the first buyers paid.
Should you buy or rent at Gallery Square in 2027?
Buying here in 2027 means paying only Ontario’s land transfer tax, not Toronto’s extra municipal tax. On a $558,000 purchase, Ontario’s rates work out to about $7,635, and a first-time buyer can get a refund of up to $4,000. My guide to the Ontario land transfer tax refund for first-time buyers explains who qualifies. Rates are another factor: the Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026, prime is 4.70%, and the next decision is on 9 December 2026.
Tarion’s new condo warranty starts on the original owner’s occupancy date: one year for workmanship and Building Code items, two years for water leaks, electrical, plumbing and heating systems, and seven years for major structural defects. The separate common elements warranty starts when the condo is registered and is managed by the corporation. For a 2023 to 2024 building, the one- and two-year periods are mostly over, so ask the seller and the corporation what claims were filed and fixed.
In newer buildings, some sellers are original buyers whose price was set years before closing and may be above today’s resale value. That can mean firm sellers or rushed deals. Do not stretch to cover a seller’s loss. Use recent Markham sales, not the original purchase price, to set your offer.
What to do next
- Confirm the exact address and suite, because Gallery Square has four street addresses.
- Ask for the status certificate, budget, reserve fund study and the fee history since registration.
- Ask what Tarion and common elements claims have been filed and resolved.
- Walk to Unionville GO and check the Stouffville line times for your commute.
- For renters, budget for rent increases above 1.9%, since the guideline normally does not apply.

Frequently asked questions
Who built Gallery Square in Markham?
The Remington Group built Gallery Square, and BDP Quadrangle was the architect. It is part of Remington’s Downtown Markham community at Birchmount Road and Simcoe Promenade. A building-data website shows a 2023 completion and BDP lists 2024, so the building is only a few years old heading into 2027. It has 16 storeys and 600 suites.
What is the address of Gallery Square condos?
Gallery Square uses four addresses in Markham: 8112 Birchmount Road, 8119 Birchmount Road, 38 Simcoe Promenade and 292 Verdale Crossing. All are in Remington’s Downtown Markham, near Enterprise Boulevard. Listing sites may label the area Unionville or Markham Centre. Always confirm which address and suite a listing refers to before you book a showing.
What are the maintenance fees at Gallery Square?
A building-data website estimates Gallery Square fees at about $0.65 per square foot a month, with heat and water included and hydro and air conditioning extra. Recent a building-data website listings show monthly fees of roughly $419 to $597, as of November 2026. Because the building is new, ask for the budget and fee history before you buy.
Is Gallery Square in Markham rent controlled?
No, Gallery Square units are normally exempt from Ontario’s rent increase guideline, because they were first occupied after 15 November 2018. The 2027 guideline is 1.9%, but it does not cap increases here. Landlords must still wait 12 months between increases and give 90 days’ written notice on the proper Landlord and Tenant Board form.
How big are the suites at Gallery Square?
Gallery Square suites run from about 400 to 2,248 square feet, according to a building-data website. Most resale listings fall between 500 and 900 square feet, covering one-bedrooms to two-bedrooms. BDP Quadrangle says the building was planned with larger-than-usual two- and three-bedroom suites and some luxury townhouses, so bigger units exist but come up less often.
Does Gallery Square have a gym and a rooftop deck?
A building-data website lists a recreation room, party room, gym, guest suites, a rooftop deck, a concierge, indoor parking and visitor parking at Gallery Square. BDP Quadrangle says art is built into the design, including sports court floor graphics visible from suites above. Confirm the current amenity list and booking rules with property management, since newer buildings sometimes finish spaces late.
How much does a condo at Gallery Square cost in 2027?
There is no reliable Gallery Square average, but Markham condo apartments sold for a median of $558,000 from January to October 2026, down 13.2% from 2025, according to TRREB MLS data via REALM. A newer building with larger suites often sits above that median. Compare recent sales of the same suite type before you offer.
Is Gallery Square close to Unionville GO station?
Gallery Square is in the part of Downtown Markham closest to Unionville GO. UrbanToronto reported in 2025 that the neighbouring Gallery Towers is about a 10-minute walk from the station, which is on the Stouffville line. Viva Purple also runs along Highway 7 and Enterprise Boulevard. Time the walk from your own entrance before you rely on it.
Does a resale Gallery Square condo still have Tarion warranty?
Partly. Tarion’s warranty on a new condo unit starts on the original occupancy date, with one-year, two-year and seven-year coverage, and the seven-year part covers major structural defects. For a building finished around 2023 to 2024, the shorter periods are mostly over. Ask the seller and the condo corporation which claims were filed and fixed.
