Pavilia Towers is a completed two-tower Times Group condo at 381 Highway 7 East and Gandhi Lane in Markham’s Thornhill area, listed by the builder at 41 and 38 storeys and finished in 2023. Markham condo apartments sold for a $558,000 median from January to October 2026, down 13.2%, and one-bedrooms leased for about $2,214.
This guide is for buyers, renters and investors looking at Pavilia Towers on Highway 7 East in Markham for 2027. You will get what the builder confirms, what listing data shows on sizes, amenities and fees, Markham-wide prices and rents with their sources, and a short checklist before you sign.
Where is Pavilia Towers and what is nearby?
Pavilia Towers is on the Highway 7 East corridor in Markham, with addresses at 381 Highway 7 East and 12 to 38 Gandhi Lane. Times Group lists the location as Thornhill, and listing sites place it in the Thornhill and Commerce Valley area of Markham. The builder’s companion townhouse project, Pavilia Park Towns, is described as just off Bayview Avenue.
What that means day to day:
- Highway 7 at your door, with a York Region Transit stop at Highway 7 and Saddle Creek Drive steps from the buildings, according to listing data.
- Quick highway access. Listing data puts Highway 404 and Steeles Avenue East within about a nine-minute drive.
- A high-rise corridor. Times Group says it has helped shape the skyline of lower Richmond Hill and Markham along Highway 7.
It is a car-friendly, suburban high-rise location rather than a walkable main street. Visit at rush hour to see how traffic on Highway 7 affects getting in and out.
Who built Pavilia Towers and when was it finished?
Pavilia Towers was built by Times Group, a developer with its head office on Highway 7 East in Markham. Times Group lists Pavilia Towers as completed.

Some public building lists show lower floor counts than the builder’s 41 and 38, so confirm the floor of any suite on the condo plan rather than relying on the number in the unit address. Times Group did not publish a unit count on its project page.
What suite types and sizes are at Pavilia Towers?
Times Group’s page does not list a size range. Listings for sale and for rent on a building-data website in November 2026 showed suites in the 600 to 699, 800 to 899 and 900 to 999 sq ft bands, which points to one-bedroom-plus-den and two-bedroom layouts as the common types.
Because the published data is thin, ask for the builder floor plan of any unit you consider and check the size against the condo plan. If you need a true second bedroom rather than a den, confirm it has a window and a door.
What amenities does Pavilia Towers have?
Times Group does not list the amenities on its project page. Listing site a building-data website shows these for the building:
- Concierge
- Gym and yoga studio
- Billiards and table tennis room
- Indoor children’s play area
- Guest suites
- Electric car charging stations and bike storage
I could not confirm this list from the builder, so tour the amenity floors and ask the property manager for the current booking rules and any fees. If you drive an electric car, ask how charging is assigned and billed.
How much are maintenance fees at Pavilia Towers?
The for-sale listings shown on a building-data website in November 2026 carried monthly fees of about $355 to $403. That is only a few listings, so treat it as a snapshot, not a schedule.
For any specific suite, the status certificate gives the monthly fee, any increase the board has announced, any special assessment and the reserve fund position. My guide to reading a condo status certificate explains each part.
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.

That happens constantly in condos — one has the parking, the right exposure, or a board that keeps the reserve fund healthy. A model can’t see your status certificate. I can.
What do Pavilia Towers condos sell and rent for?
TRREB reports Markham as a whole, not single buildings, and I do not publish individual sales. These city-wide numbers include Pavilia Towers along with every other Markham condo.
| Markham, Jan to Oct | 2024 median | 2025 median | 2026 median | Change vs 2025 | 2026 sales | Avg. days on market |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Condo apartment | $700,000 | $643,000 | $558,000 | -13.2% | 582 | 39 |
| Condo townhouse | $900,000 | $825,000 | $750,000 | -9.1% | 214 | 37 |

In October 2026, TRREB’s Market Watch shows 59 Markham condo apartment sales at a median of $538,000 and an average of $589,740. There were 327 active listings, units sold at 97% of list price, and the average time on market was 34 days. That works out to about 5.5 months of supply by my arithmetic, which still leans toward buyers.
What does it cost to rent?
| Markham apartments, Q2 2026 | Leases | Average rent |
|---|---|---|
| One bedroom | 445 | $2,214 |
| Two bedroom | 277 | $2,840 |
| Three bedroom | 19 | $3,573 |

How do you get around from Pavilia Towers?
Pavilia Towers is a bus-and-car location today. Listing data notes a York Region Transit stop at Highway 7 and Saddle Creek Drive steps away, and Highway 7 is served by York Region’s Viva bus rapid transit. Highway 404 is a short drive away.
The bigger change is coming on Yonge Street to the west. Metrolinx is extending TTC Line 1 about eight kilometres north from Finch Station to Richmond Hill, with five new stations and planned connections to Richmond Hill GO train service and the Viva Highway 7 rapid transit line. Metrolinx says the extension will go into service after the Ontario Line is complete, and it has not given an opening date. Treat it as a long-term benefit, not something to count on for a 2027 commute.
What are the pros and cons of Pavilia Towers?
Pros
- A newer building, finished in 2023, with a concierge and a broad amenity list according to listing data.
- Easy driving access to Highway 7 and Highway 404.
- Tall towers, so upper floors can offer long views.
- Close to future rapid transit on Yonge Street once the subway extension opens.
Cons
- Not a walk to rail transit today.
- A busy arterial road setting rather than a village main street.
- Builder data on sizes, amenities and unit counts is limited, so you rely more on listings and the status certificate.
- Markham condo prices fell 13.2% year over year to October 2026, so resale timing matters.
Who is Pavilia Towers best for?
- Drivers who work along the Highway 7, 404 or 407 corridors and want a newer condo.
- Families with young children who value an indoor play area and guest suites for visiting relatives.
- First-time buyers who want Markham at a condo price. My first-time buyer guide for Markham covers rebates and closing costs.
- Investors who are patient and expect the Yonge subway extension to help over the long run.
If you want to walk to a subway or a lively main street, other parts of Markham or the Yonge corridor will suit you better.
Buying or renting at Pavilia Towers in 2027
The Bank of Canada raised its policy rate to 2.50% on 28 October 2026, and the big banks’ prime rate rose to 4.70%. The next decision is on 9 December 2026. If you are buying in 2027, get pre-approved early and plan for the possibility of higher rates.
For renters, Pavilia Towers was first occupied after 15 November 2018, so its units are exempt from Ontario’s rent increase guideline of 1.9% for 2027. A landlord still has to give at least 90 days’ written notice and wait 12 months between increases, but the amount is not capped.
Tarion says just about every newly built home in Ontario comes with a seven-year warranty. For a 2023 building, part of that may still apply to a resale buyer, so ask about any open warranty items.
Because the builder publishes so little detail, do not rely on a listing’s description of the amenities, the fee or the floor. Make your offer conditional on your lawyer’s review of the status certificate, and confirm parking and locker ownership in writing.
In my view, Pavilia Towers fits a buyer who drives and wants a newer Markham condo with a strong amenity package, at a time when Markham condo prices have come down two years running. Compare it against recent sales in nearby towers along Highway 7 and in the Yonge corridor, and negotiate on units that have sat. For other Markham choices, see my top condos to buy in Markham.
What to do next
- Choose your tower and suite type, then confirm the size against the condo plan.
- Ask for recent sales and leases in both towers for the same layout.
- Have a lawyer review the status certificate before your offer goes firm.
- Drive or ride your commute from Highway 7 at rush hour.
- Get mortgage pre-approval before you start negotiating.
