I couldn’t be more pleased that Christian will be driving our integrated services platform, which today consists of mortgage and title businesses, but has the potential to become so much more.”

Wallace joins Real from Rocket Homes where she oversaw a number of functions, including business development, back-end operations and the partner real estate agent network.

58 West Hastings is a ten-storey community-oriented social housing and health centre located in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside

VANCOUVER, British Columbia–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Over several decades, poverty, homelessness, drug addiction, and an urgent need for critical mental health services have come to characterize Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside (DTES). This November, seven prominent artists have aligned themselves with the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation in championing a new innovative social housing and health care facility that is setting the precedent for cities across Canada – 58 West Hastings. Participating artists include Dana Claxton, Douglas Coupland, Stan Douglas, Angela Grossmann, Ken Lum, Martha Sturdy, and Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun.

Led by the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation, the project will provide 231 new social and affordable housing units and bring together multiple levels of government support, including BC Housing and Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation and $30 million from the Chinatown Foundation. It will also house the Lily Lee Community Health Centre, a 50,000-square-foot integrated health centre operated by Vancouver Coastal Health (VCH). It will provide critical resources and accessible health care to support the unique needs of the Chinatown and DTES residents, including access to specialized mental health and addiction care.

“58 West Hastings will stand as the gold standard for affordable housing projects in Vancouver and across Canada. It is a project that has community and care at its core,” said Carol Lee, Chair of Vancouver Chinatown Foundation. “Having this collective of Canada’s leading artists provide their works to raise additional funding is an absolute gift. This project is truly paving the way forward for what can be done when we join forces as a community.”

Inspired by this innovative and important initiative, Angela Grossmann and Martha Sturdy spearheaded conversations amongst Vancouver’s community of artists who have lived, worked, and studied in the neighbourhood. When asked to contribute artwork to this pivotal project for Vancouver, the response from each artist approached was a resounding ‘yes.’ An impressive collection of generously donated artworks will be auctioned this fall at a live event in support of the project. Reproductions of each donated work of art will be translated into the design of the building.

Notably, Stan Douglas, who represented Canada at the Venice Biennale in 2022, has contributed one of his most iconic photographs directly from his personal collection entitled Every Building on 100 West Hastings. Douglas’s work involves extensive historical research and is known to pinpoint localized moments that speak to broader societal shifts. The 16-foot-long chromogenic print is constructed from 21 carefully staged images digitally stitched together and purposefully devoid of traffic or people, offering viewers a layered narrative of the empty street. The monumental work is included in museum collections, including The Museum of Fine Arts Houston (MFAH) and The Vancouver Art Gallery (VAG) and has not been offered for sale publicly in over a decade.

In addition, Vancouver-based Hunkpapa Lakota (Sioux) artist Dana Claxton, the 2023 Audain Prize winner, has offered a unique work entitled NDN Ironworkers Tool Still Life from her 2018 solo exhibition Fringing The Cube at the Vancouver Art Gallery.

This significant collection includes seven works in total, with new works created specifically for the project by Douglas Coupland, Ken Lum, Lawrence Paul Yuxweluptun, Martha Sturdy, and Angela Grossmann.

“Each work donated was offered with the residents of the building in mind, realizing that placing works in a domestic space is a great privilege and comes with a huge responsibility,” says Grossmann. “Putting art into a building can be transformative, and I felt it was crucial that we include works from artists with a history of living and working in this neighbourhood and whose works address issues of social responsibility.

“I think the artists saw this as an opportunity to give work that speaks from their heart,” adds Grossmann.

Two titans of culture in Canada are the Honorary Co-Chairs of the committee spearheading this initiative, Michael Audain and the late Phil Lind. The collection will be previewed at the Vancouver Art Gallery on Tuesday, November 7^th, with the live auction taking place on Thursday, November 9^th, at the Vancouver Chinatown Foundation Autumn Gala hosted at Fairmont Hotel Vancouver. Funds realized will directly benefit the project, with partial funds allocated to installing reproductions of the artworks in the lobby and on each floor of the building. Absentee and telephone bidding is available for those who cannot attend the event. For more information, please contact Tom Gautreau at getithandled@me.com.

BRAMPTON, Ontario–(BUSINESS WIRE)–National Homes and Brixen Developments have joined hands in a partnership to contribute $100,000 annually for the next five years, totaling a $500,000 donation towards the construction of Brampton’s new hospital for the William Osler Health System. This significant commitment, by two prominent names in the real estate and development industry, exemplifies their unwavering dedication to the well-being and prosperity of the Brampton community.

With a shared vision for a healthier and stronger Brampton, National Homes and Brixen Developments have stepped forward to provide vital support to the city’s healthcare infrastructure. Their generous donation will play a pivotal role in the transformation of health care in Brampton and Etobicoke. Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness (Peel Memorial) will include a new multi-storey patient tower, new and enhanced outpatient services and day programs and the expansion of the existing Urgent Care Centre to 24/7 operations – enhancing healthcare services, improving patient care, and ensuring that the local community receives excellent state-of-the-art medical treatment.

In recognition of this contribution, Mayor Brown and the Brampton City Council expressed their gratitude by presenting a special gift at a recent public event attended by all members of Council. The gift, a signed Tavares Toronto Maple Leafs jersey, symbolizes the city’s appreciation for National Homes and Brixen Developments’ dedication to Brampton’s healthcare future. In a heartfelt gesture, National Homes and Brixen Developments have decided to donate the signed jersey back to the hospital, where it will be gifted to a child in need.

Mayor Brown remarked on the company’s long standing history with the community by saying “thank you very much Jason (Pantalone) for your support in all City initiatives.” He spoke about how this significant donation will undoubtedly make a substantial difference in the lives of Brampton residents and patients at the new hospital.

The pledge from these industry leaders reaffirms their belief in the potential of Brampton as a vibrant and thriving community. “We can think of half a million reasons why we love Brampton,” said Jason Pantalone, President and CEO Managing Partner of National Homes, who went on to say “We’ve developed thousands of acres in Brampton and built roughly 6,000 homes there since 1992,” says Pantalone, expressing their commitment to the city’s future.

The new hospital, a vital addition to Brampton’s healthcare infrastructure, will serve as a beacon of hope and healing for the community, thanks to the invaluable support from National Homes and Brixen Developments.

This philanthropic partnership sprung from the 2023 National Homes and Brixen Developments successful release of Duo Condos in Brampton, a luxurious 25-storey condominium conceived and created with inputs received from investors and community stakeholders. Right from its location, its focus on transit to its many inspired amenities, DUO represents the culmination of a vision – the introduction of a connected and convenient way of living in Brampton.

National Homes and Brixen Developments invite other community leaders and businesses to join them in supporting the growth and well-being of Brampton. Their commitment to making a positive impact on the city is a testament to the power of collaboration and community spirit.

ABOUT NATIONAL HOMES

ABOUT BRIXEN DEVELOPMENTS

Brixen Developments was launched in 2019 by Alexander D’Orazio and Andrew Iacobelli based on a shared commitment to quality, desire to build communities, and the underlying belief that people come first.
