Demand for area drains in Markham (York Region) comes mostly from technology and ICT, advanced manufacturing and electronics, life sciences, finance and head offices, logistics. The work concentrates around Markham Centre, Buttonville / Allstate Parkway business area, Milliken / Steeles employment lands, Highway 404 / Woodbine corporate corridor.
