How the pre-construction process works in Ontario
- Register. VIP registrants receive the plan set, pricing sheet and deposit schedule before the public release.
- Choose a plan and lot. Model, elevation and lot premium all affect the final price.
- Sign the agreement of purchase and sale. You have a 10-day statutory cooling-off period on condominium purchases; freehold agreements do not carry that right, so have a real estate lawyer review before you sign.
- Stage your deposits. Deposits are paid on set dates over the following months, not all at once.
- Select finishes. Kingshaven buyers choose finishes, fixtures and smart home packages at the Kingsmen Design Studio.
- Arrange financing and close. Your lender re-qualifies you closer to closing, so keep your income and credit position stable through construction.

What to check before you commit
- Freehold vs common elements. Confirm whether a common-elements fee applies to shared laneways or parkettes.
- Closing cost adjustments. Development charges, levies, utility enrolment and Tarion enrolment are usually extra. Ask for the cap on levies in writing.
- Lot premium. Corner, end and flankage lots carry premiums over interior units.
- Land transfer tax. Markham and Whitchurch-Stouffville are outside the City of Toronto, so only Ontario land transfer tax applies — no municipal LTT.
- Standard vs upgrade. Get the features and finishes list and mark which items in the model are upgrades.

- How does buying pre-construction differ from buying a resale townhome?
- You sign an agreement of purchase and sale before the home is built, pay a staged deposit rather than a single down payment, select your finishes during construction, and take possession on a builder-set closing date. The home is covered by the Tarion new home warranty and built to current Ontario Building Code.
- Are Kingshaven towns freehold or condominium?
- Freehold. You own the home and the land it sits on, with no monthly condo fee for the dwelling itself. Some freehold communities carry a small common-elements fee for shared laneways or parkettes; confirm the exact arrangement in your agreement before signing.
- What is the deposit structure on a pre-construction townhome?
- Ontario builders typically stage deposits over several dates in the months after signing, rather than collecting the full amount up front. The exact schedule for Kingshaven is set out in the agreement of purchase and sale and is shared with VIP registrants alongside the pricing sheet.
- Can I assign or resell a pre-construction townhome before closing?
- Assignment depends entirely on the terms of your agreement — some builders permit it with consent and a fee, others restrict it. Ask for the assignment clause in writing before you sign, and get independent legal advice on the tax treatment.
- When does Kingshaven close and occupy?
- Occupancy dates are set by the builder in the agreement of purchase and sale. Register for the VIP list to receive the current construction and closing timeline with the plan set.
- Who is the builder?
- Kingsmen Group Inc., a York Region builder with 33 years of experience, 15 communities and 10,700 homes delivered. Founded by Matthew Castelli. Kingshaven is enrolled in the Tarion new home warranty program.
