4 reasons to register for Emblem Developments’ new 1 Jarvis project in Hamilton

• It’s in Hamilton!
  The Hammer, Hamilton’s other nickname (and darned if I could find out why), is undergoing a major transformation.
• A+ amenities.
  With plans for a fitness centre and a co-working lounge, you’ll be among the first to find out exactly what’s in store for purchasers.
• 15 storeys in height.
  Nice height and building design. 1 Jarvis includes retail spaces at street level. It’s close to plenty of amenities, too.
• You can commute.
  It’s about a 12-minute walk to the Hamilton Centre GO station.

Public art is all around us

Outdoor public art exists all over the GTA, although some of these installations, such as this one, are not always in plain view.

In Toronto, art installations are often the direct result of the City working with the private sector to secure public art contributions through channels such as development review, official plan amendments and re-zonings.

Do you know where this Toronto art installation is? Check out our next issue for the reveal. Here’s a hint: Tobogganers roar down the nearby hills whenever there’s a good snowfall.
