CountryWide Homes is headed for a record-breaking year in sales, the company’s sales and marketing manager Richard Mariani tells us. “And that’s mostly attributable to the fact we have prime locations with premium product. If you want to live north of the city in the GTA, we’ve probably got some of the best locations available.”
Asian buyers account for a “substantial” part of the company’s sales, he says, especially at its new-home communities along Bayview and Leslie Streets and up the Highway 404 corridor as far north as Queensville.
That’s where CountryWide recently launched a townhouse and single-family home development at Leslie Street and Queensville Side Road, dubbed Queensville, with 95 units selling from the $500,000s.
“The price point is much more affordable than anywhere in the city,” Mariani points out. “It’s farther north, but it’s just above Newmarket and has great access to the highway. The GO station is five minutes away, so if you want to commute downtown you have that ability.”
Down Leslie Street in Aurora, on Sept. 26 CountryWide released a new phase at The Arbors, a collection of freehold single family homes with modern brick, stone, stucco exteriors that range from 2,100 to 3,400 square feet, on lots from 36‘ to 45’. (Additional 36‘ and 45’ ravine lots will be released Oct. 10).
