Who handles what
The neighbourhood
The Scarborough office sits on Markham Road near Sheppard Avenue, at the edge of Malvern, with Agincourt, Morningside, and Scarborough Town Centre nearby. Malvern started as a farming community in the 1850s, named after a resort town in England, and stayed agricultural for about a century before the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation expropriated the surrounding farmland in the late 1950s to build a planned community of affordable homes. The first residents moved in during 1972, and Markham Road remains one of the area's oldest through routes. The firm keeps a second office in Mississauga, giving clients across the wider GTA a location closer to home.
