3 Reasons to Choose a Home Near a GO Station

29 March 2023

The province of Ontario has made massive investments to increase the frequency and reliability of GO service along major transit corridors. Now, people in even the most remote parts of the GTA can get to downtown Toronto and other points along the service line efficiently most times of the day.

Here is why a nearby GO station should be on your new home wish list.

It’s Almost Always Faster & More Efficient

Taking the GO train means you’ll get where you need to be quicker and with less stress than by car. New GO trains reach speeds of 140km per hour between stations, and service on most lines begins as early as 5:45 am (6:30 am on weekends) and runs until 8:00 pm. Visit gotransit.com to see the schedules at your nearest station.

Taking the train also allows you to use your commute to catch up on work, chat with family or friends, or decompress before or after your workday.

Sharewell, one of Trinity Point’s upcoming communities in Maple, is located less than a five minute walk to the Maple GO station on the Barrie line. Our River Ridge community at Bayview and Wellington is just a five minute drive from the Aurora GO station, which is also on the Barrie line. This is route services Newmarket, North York, and Toronto and it takes less than an hour to reach Union Station in downtown Toronto.

It Saves — And Can Make — You Money

With the cost of gas and parking fluctuating, GO service helps you save money by charging a standard fee.

For future homeowners at Elements, taking the Milton GO to Union Station costs just over $10 each way when you pay with your tap-on Presto card. This is more than the cost of gas, but after you factor in regular maintenance on your car, parking, and other stresses associated with driving, it’s usually well worth it.

Children under 12 also ride for free, and youth between the ages of 13-19 years have a discounted fare. If you’re a very frequent rider — more than 36 rides a month — your fare goes down $1.40 per trip. After your 40^th ride, your trips are free.

Not only that, but research has shown that homes located closer to transit hubs like GO stations have higher property values than comparable home less than a kilometre farther. That means more money in your pocket when you buy at one of our communities.

It’s More Environmentally Friendly

Taking public transit is a great way to cut down on your personal carbon emissions. Plus, using GO helps contribute to the GO Expansion project, which will continue to increase services and ensure more people use it. This expansion also includes the electrification of trains, a move that first began in 2017 will further mitigate the environmental impact of GO operations.

Both the Barrie and the Milton lines will benefit in future years from service upgrades including trains every 15 minutes during rush hour, more regular scheduled service throughout the day, and service in both directions along the rail corridor.

Trinity Point has upcoming communities in Richmond Hill, Maple, Milton, all of which are built to ensure residents can get around with ease. To learn more, visit trinitypoint.com

Noble Residences: The Next Step in Maple’s Heritage

4 November 2022

Trinity Point’s new community, Noble Residences is in the historic core of the former Village of Maple on Keele Street. With anticipated growth in the GTA, the city’s Heritage Conservation District is expected to evolve through future development. New communities will need to work to preserve the existing character of the district, defined in large part by its heritage architecture and streetscape.

The city of Vaughan has developed a plan to ensure the area is a dynamic and positive place to live, work, and play through its culture, design, streetscapes, landscapes, and architecture. We at Trinity Point are excited to be a part of the next step in this rich heritage.

Maple’s historic district is made up of long-standing residential structures, places of worship, and commercial establishments that cater to the needs of many residents who have settled in the community for a number of years. As growth continues, new development builds on the benefits of urban living while preserving the area’s historical charm

Noble Residences accomplishes that by integrating high-end amenity spaces and ground-level retail space. Its thoughtful design allows residents to enjoy the wider area while respecting the deep-rooted lifestyles that come from an established heritage district. This community presents a unique form of development by upholding long-standing values while displaying contemporary design ideas.

At Trinity Point, we have developed an innovative method and multi-dimensional design process that distinguish us from our competition. Our commitment is tied to our Core Values, allowing homeowners from all walks of life to experience the highest quality and craftsmanship.

Paved cross-walks create a network throughout the urban development, allowing residents to move freely to every point of interest.

Active Public Realm & Targeted Retail

Placemaking

Elements is designed to foster overall public health, happiness and wellness. This is placemaking. We achieve this through the synergy of all of our 5 core values which are applied to produce quality public spaces, strengthen its community identity and benefit our resident’s everyday lifestyle and functionality.

Sharewell is built around Trinity Point’s 5 Core Values River Ridge on The Valley Sells Out

Sharewell is built around Trinity Point’s 5 Core Values

17 November 2020

What matters most to you when buying a new home? Is it location? Who you’re buying from? Nearby amenities? Or is it the home itself?

At Trinity Point Developments, we take a deep dive into what makes a true mixed-use community. Through this approach, we have formed 5 core values that inform our design and architecture for all of our communities; Connectivity, Permeability, Active Public Realm & Targeted Retail, Curated Amenities, and Placemaking.

Connectivity

At our Sharewell community at Keele Street and Major Mackenzie Drive in Vaughan, residents are connected to the community of Maple, the surrounding city and the Greater Toronto Area. With Hwy 400, a newly renovated Maple GO station, and York Region Transit at its front door, it will be easier than ever to commute to and from Sharewell. The design of the community, together with its strategic location, provides for and reinforces opportunities for connectivity.

Permeability

A pedestrian mews has been incorporated, which encourages walkability to the active public realm and retail options along Keele Street from the covered commercial parking area at the rear. The covered commercial parking also provides protection from the elements for customers that would like to shop and experience the public areas at Sharewell.

Active Public Realm & Targeted Retail

Sharewell will also be the site of vibrant street retail carefully selected to cater to the needs of Maple’s residents. This new retail scene is designed to attract people from both the immediate area and neighbouring communities. Nearby, there are also plenty of dining and grocery shopping options, trails and parks, a local library, Vaughan City Hall, and the Cortellucci Vaughan Hospital

Curated Amenities

Sharewell’s U-shaped architecture frames a communal area at its centre. The outdoor amenity deck is the heart of the development and offers a range of both active and passive spaces. This communal area, together with the contiguous with the indoor amenity areas create a place for residents to gather for interaction, physical activity, and leisure.

Placemaking

Lastly, Sharewell is designed to foster overall public health, happiness and wellness. This is placemaking. The synergy of all of our applied 5core values produce quality public spaces, strengthen its community identity, and benefit our resident’s everyday lifestyle and functionality.

Creating Special Places One Community at a Time

6 May 2024

Trinity Point is proud to be part of one of Canada’s most esteemed group of homebuilders. Greenpark Group’s history stretches back to 1967, and since then they’ve built more than 88,000 homes and condos.

Trinity Point is the newest addition to this rich legacy and, as a builder, we are guided by a new forward-thinking vision for homebuilding; one that is focused on creating holistic communities with unique identities that reflect the people who live there.

Our new mission is to create special places.

Places Built for The Future

Trinity Point is committed to building communities that are unique and intimately connected to the needs of the people who live there. That is a process that begins with location selection and requires consideration that extends years after the handover of keys.

When we plan a new community, we are thinking about how an area will evolve in the decades to follow; from transit, to the local economy, to the education and healthcare systems, to the conservation areas and green spaces, and more.

All of these things — along with the history of an area — make up its local character. This is the identity we are building upon when create new communities.

Identity: Creating a Destination

What gives a place identity is the people it attracts. We do not think of our communities only as homes, but as destinations. Our mid- and high-rise communities in particular are designed with a wealth of amenities, as well as retail and green spaces that serve not just our residents, but make them a destination for their family and friends.

Laying the Foundation of Special Places

Trinity Point integrates cutting-edge technology, sustainable building practices, and state-of-the-art urban planning to create spaces that enhance personal well being. We believe that the best communities are those that are functional and accessible; that are beautifully designed and built withstand the rigours of everyday life; that offer the right balance of privacy and community engagement.

But even the most perfectly built communities aren’t special until they have been lived in — until people associate them with special experiences. We are laying the groundwork for those experiences.

Trinity Point is a continuation of Greenpark Group’s exceptional legacy, and we hope our newest communities will build on our collective understanding of what it means to live well.

Are you ready to find your next home? Visit our communities to see where we’re building next.
