One of Clarington's most highly anticipated developments will put nature first, as the luxury condos and townhomes of The Uplands take shape on a rolling site at King St. and Darlington Blvd. in the GTA east.Located between Hwys. 2 and 401 minutes from Oshawa to the west and Bowmanville to the east, The Uplands Courtice offers a tranquil oasis adjacent to conservation land and a creek. It provides homeowners with the rare opportunity to connect with nature in the middle of bustling suburban Courtice, yet be close to all amenities.
Downtown Toronto is easily accessible with the Oshawa GO Train, which is just 40 minutes to Union Station or Hwys. 401 and 407, which are only five minutes from your doorstep. The Hwy. 418 link will soon make travel much faster. Those travelling east can catch the VIA train in Oshawa which can whisk you to Ottawa, Montreal and beyond.The modern townhouses and bungalofts launching in September at The Uplands Courtice will start in the $500,000s. When completed, the project will have approximately 450 residential units, including condos and townhomes. The interior finishes will have stainless steel appliances in the kitchens, granite counters and contemporary cabinets in the kitchen and bathroom, and a selection of engineered wood flooring, porcelain and carpet as per plan. The site's slope is being used to maximize views, with townhouses set along the valley, and condos behind them, so all residents can enjoy views of Farewell Creek.
Developer Alan Hirschfield of High Street Courtice Inc. has made protecting and enhancing the environment a top priority for The Uplands. The company donated land along the creek to the municipality and a former rough path is being transformed into a public trail that will link picturesque Tooley's Mill Park with its gazebo, site for many community events, to Darlington Provincial Park. An entrance from The Uplands will connect its residents directly to the trail where they can walk or cycle (Darlington Beach on Lake Ontario is a 12-minute bike ride away).
Hirschfield's vision is to create a setting, so all Uplands residents, as well as the larger community, will enjoy the scenic natural features at their doorstep. "The park is very popular and we also donated a half acre to create parking," says Hirschfield. "If you get more people using the valley, it will be kept cleaner and they'll keep an eye on what's happening there."As well as improving and protecting the Farewell Creek valley lands, The Uplands is bringing new housing choices to that part of Durham Region. As the population has become more mature and diverse, people want to be able to stay in the community, whether they work there or are downsizing. Hirschfield has also seen the flow of young couples and professionals from the GTA to more affordable communities offering a more serene lifestyle. That's why Uplands is offering a mix of units.
"The townhouses will be 'comfortably modern' in design and of high quality," he says, "with brick and stucco facades, clean lines, slightly sloped roofs, garage doors with contemporary detailing and large windows. There will be some units in the 1,350-sq.-ft. range, with the master bedroom on the main floor and another bedroom on the second floor. Buyers needing more space can find up to 3,200-sq.-ft. towns with double-car garages.THE UPLANDS COURTICETo register or for further information, visit the website.
