Public Consultation Meeting

All North End residents, and other community members interested in affordable homeownership development in Hamilton, are invited to attend a public consultation hosted by John van Nostrand Developments (JvN/d), SvN Architects & Planners, and Office Architecture, in collaboration with City of Hamilton planning staff and the North End Neighbourhood Association.
JvN/d is proposing to redevelop the properties located at 468-476 James St N (at the corner of James St N and Ferrie St E) as an eight storey, mixed use, mixed income condominium building. To permit the proposed development, JvN/d has applied for an Official Plan Amendment and a Zoning By-Law Amendment.
JvN/d is a social enterprise, a for-profit company with progressive economic, social, and environmental goals. JvN/d helps low- and moderate-income households overcome barriers to homeownership. Our units are accessible to households with incomes of $25,000 and up. We offer innovative, flexible, participatory housing designs as well as down payment assistance through shared equity co-investment.
The design concepts and down payment financing program have been developed through extensive surveys and interviews with North End residents about their housing needs, the financial barriers to homeownership they have faced, their fears about displacement, and the values they believe should guide development. Development projects often accelerate neighbourhood change and the displacement of existing households. This project aims to intervene in this process by giving priority to local households to access homeownership and long-term housing security in the neighbourhood they love.
