Highmark Homes Opens Spring Meadow in Ajax with a Bang!
With Spring Meadow, Highmark Homes is redefining affordable luxury living in Ajax. Nestled in the Ajax countryside, this new community features townhomes, 30’ and 39’ detached homes to please even the most discerning purchaser. Highmark Homes builds to “A Higher Standard”, and their standard features make it easy to see that they have unmatched craftsmanship and luxury appointments. All of the homes are all-brick and feature premium imported ceramic flooring (in more places!), oversized wood trim (baseboard and casing), casement vinyl windows throughout (not just the front!), cold storage cellar, gracious interior light fixtures, oversized exterior lighting and paved driveway, among others. Their main floor joists are spaced 12” apart (instead of the industry standard 16”) to provide a stronger and more comfortable floor. Highmark Homes is known for their hand-cut roofs, which are unique in the homebuilding industry, which provide greater strength, longer life and design flexibility. Homes in the 39’ collection also have nine foot ceilings on the main floor, gas fireplaces and oak staircases. Located on the east side of Salem Road, between Taunton Road and Rossland Road, this new community is the perfect place to enjoy the Ajax lifestyle. All shopping needs are met just south on Kingston Road. Access to the 401 is easy via Salem Road, and a GO train station is just minutes away. Whether you enjoy a beautiful summer drive or driving off a tee, Spring Meadow gives you easy access to both. Farms and rolling countryside are just north of the community, and several golf courses are nearby. Snowmobile and skiing trails are close by, as are several community centres. Highmark Homes was founded by Gino Lucchese, a co-founder of Tormina Homes, who has consistently operated in Durham Region for over 30 years. “Highmark truly is unique for quality and the experience customers have with us is highly personalized from the sales process through to after-sales service,” says Gino Lucchese. “Our customers are our biggest proponents as they see first hand just how different we are.” April 2008 Setting a New Standard in Historic Bowmanville
From a proud lineage, Highmark Homes ushers in a new generation of success from a family that has continuously raised the bar in homebuilding quality for four decades. “Seeing the Rainbow Trout run in May and the Salmon in September is really spectacular – clearly homeowners here would be living at Mother Nature’s doorstep”, says Carmen Melfi, sales representative for Highmark. This unique setting, combined with homes of the finest quality and extra deep lots of up to 170 feet, will ensure that The Manors of Heritage Hill will forever remain a benchmark community. This community consists of two enclave courts with no through streets and no sidewalks, providing the utmost in privacy and tranquility. Only 33 homes will be built in this exclusive community, with ravine lots backing onto the Bowmanville Creek. Walk-out and deck lots are also available. Unlike typical developments, homeowners are graciously welcomed home by grand 50’ designs which line Kelman Place, the only entrance to this community. In addition, the 40’ lots, which are also some of Bowmanville’s deepest, are adjacent to grand estate-like homes on 50’ lots, ideal for future value appreciation. “Purchasers have strongly embraced our vision which has made this development more like a collection of custom homes than a typical development”, says Joseph Messina. “We are building all-clay brick homes with a focus on the finest materials and finishes with an unmatched list of standard features. When we say ‘Love Your Home’, our ultimate objective is to set a benchmark for quality, value and customer experience; a true passion for excellence.”
There are many different designs to choose from, including bungalow and two story models. Every home features a gas fireplace, full vinyl casement windows, a cold cellar, hand cut roofs, and 12” centre main floors joists. The entire first floor is ceramic tile, and there is access to the garage from the laundry room. All of the master bedrooms feature walk-in closets, and ensuites with separate shower and tub. All but one design also has a double vanity in the ensuite. The 50’ designs also have nine foot ceilings. Closing dates are available late this year.

July 2007 30 Years of Family Homebuilding Continues in Whitby with Highmark Homes
Highmark Homes celebrated the opening of their newest community, The Gates of Whitby on Saturday, February 25th. Many local councillors and potential purchasers joined Whitby Mayor Marcel Brunelle for the ribbon cutting ceremony. The event follows the debut of Highmark Homes with its Manors of Heritage Hill community in Bowmanville, launched in January 2006, which has been the fastest selling new home community in Bowmanville given its unmatched ravine setting and extra deep lots. “We have a team, and you have a team and together we are going to do great things for Whitby,” said Mayor Brunelle to the large crowd who had gathered to commemorate the occasion and to celebrate Highmark’s first community in Whitby. Located in beautiful West Whitby and just down the street from the landmark Cullen Gardens, it’s proximity to greenspace and Whitby’s best amenities make it the ideal place to live. As an established community, purchasers can see the beauty of the community they will call home. It is also one of the last opportunities to own a new home in this spectacular master planned community which also benefits from grand “estate homes” just steps away. With semi-detached homes available on 25’ lots and detached homes on 30’ lots with depths of upto 120’, there are 12 spectacular designs to choose from, including bungalows. At The Gates of Whitby, Highmark Homes is raising the standard with the features they include in all of their homes. The homes are all-brick, with hand cut conventional roofs, not trusses. Premium ceramic flooring (in more places!), casement vinyl windows throughout, oversized wood trim and oak pickets, railings and stringers are all standard. With trimmed archways throughout, a cold storage cellar (for extra storage and the wine connoisseur in you!), a paved driveway, gracious interior light fixtures and premium exterior lighting, these homes stand out above the rest.

Purchasers will also receive one-year free Rogers Digital T.V., Internet and Home Phone service valued at over $2,000. “With this offer, our customers will move in to their home and be ‘ready to go’ from an infrastructure perspective – it will be ‘plug and play’ in all respects”, says Joseph Messina. Most importantly, purchasers will benefit from the unmatched quality and craftsmanship of 40 years of homebuilding leadership (with almost 30 years in Whitby). “When we say LOVE YOUR HOME, our ultimate objective is to set a benchmark for quality, value and customer experience; a true passion for excellence – come visit us in Whitby or our spectacular model home in Bowmanville and see for yourself,” says Joseph “My father, Gino Lucchese, a
founder of Tormina Homes, is one of the great pioneers in the homebuilding
industry and has earned the trust, respect and appreciation of thousands
of homeowners across the GTA, particularly in Durham. Inspired by
my father and with the same values and commitment to excellence,
our ultimate objective is to establish Highmark as a benchmark homebuilder
in the GTA,” says Philip Lucchese. March 2006 |
