625 Cochrane Drive

625 Cochrane Drive – An Iconic Gateway to Markham’s Future

At the dynamic junction of Highways 404 and 407, 625 Cochrane Drive emerges as a bold vision for Markham’s next-generation urban landmark. Surrounded by extensive infrastructure and thriving business activity, the site is strategically positioned as a high-profile destination with unmatched accessibility across the GTA. This concept design, crafted by Line & Page Corporation, transforms the heart of the City’s designated “Business Park Office Priority Employment” lands into an iconic, world-class mixed-use hub.

Three elegantly curved glass towers rise together in a sculptural formation, their fluid geometry creating a distinctive skyline presence visible from both major highways. Between them, a vibrant central plaza acts as the social heart of the development — a place where professionals, visitors, and the community intersect. Landscaped with lush greenery, water features, and generous pedestrian boulevards, the plaza fosters interaction, leisure, and year-round activation.

The development’s program blends employment, hospitality, culture, and lifestyle. Towers host premium office spaces, a high-end hotel, and flexible live-work units, ensuring a constant pulse of activity. The podium is alive with retail, restaurants, food halls, entertainment venues, wellness facilities, and civic anchors such as a library and innovation hub — activating the site from day to night, weekday to weekend. Strategically placed logistics, urban distribution, and parking systems integrate seamlessly to support the site’s functionality without compromising its public realm.

This is more than architecture — it is a complete urban ecosystem. Designed for 24/7 vibrancy, the project integrates sustainability features such as green roof urban farms, EV charging hubs, and walkable public spaces, creating a model for employment-driven urban design in Canada. With its iconic form, rich mix of uses, and people-focused spaces, 625 Cochrane Drive stands as a catalyst for innovation, connectivity, and community life at one of Markham’s most important gateways.
