Kitchener's Great Places Awards: Winner of The People's Choice Award

The Great Places Awards honour outstanding development projects that show a commitment to design excellence and innovation in urban design, sustainability and heritage conservation and contribute to a built environment that enhances our quality of life.

Great places bring people together! They foster community pride, promote feelings of safety and well-being, and contribute to the quality-of-life Kitchener residents expect. The Great Places Awards celebrate the people, businesses and organizations who make Kitchener a great place to live, work and play.

The People’s Choice Award is given to a project that receives the most votes from the community through online and in person voting. We are beyond honoured to have been nominated and now named Winner of a Great Places Award for The People’s Choice; for our collaborative project, One Young Street. A building that we have had great pride in being a part of and hope to be part of more projects like this one in the future.

As stated last night, we are a proud local business that is “building more than structures; we are building legacies of inspiration." In all the years we have been in business, we aim to create projects that not only that are breathtaking to behold, creative in nature, and fulfill the vision of our clients, but ultimately enhance the community around us. We are a firm believer in giving back and investing in the future of our clients, our staff and our invaluable supporters out there. Thank you for the honour of being your People’s Choice Award Winner.

OVER 13K FOR LUTHERWOOD CHILDREN'S MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES

Just over a month ago on September 22, 2023, at Rebel Creek Golf Club, an amazing group of businesses, clients and staff came together to play golf and raise funds for an integral, local organization. Lutherwood Children's Mental Health Services helps children and youth across the region and is unbelievably important in so many ways.

Mary-Jo, Assistant Director of Development & Communications, had this to say: 

“Last year, we helped the equivalent of 109 full classes of children and youth needing mental health treatment. Each one of those 2700 kids have individual mental health challenges that need to be addressed. This year, we are on track to help even more kids in our community. This year, we are on track to help even more kids. Because of the generosity of Jackman Construction, the sponsors and players at this year’s Jackman Construction golf tournament we will be able to provide 267 individual sessions, therapeutic recreation sessions and music therapy sessions".

With the generosity of all the amazing sponsors, staff and clients, we are so happy, to be able to give just over $13K to an organization that clearly has had an impact on so many families and we hope with this contribution they can continue that work. Thank you again to everyone who came out in support, for all the hard work and time, we could not have done it without you!

270 Spadina Ave

This is The Woodside at 270 Spadina Ave and this project has finally rounded it’s 2nd phase completion, at the end of August 2023.

This project has been in the works for 2 years and had undergone many extensive upgrades to the existing buildings (2 phases) including an underground parking garage, surface level parking and more. There are 90 units in total in Phase 2 and the building began filling them in July. Phase 1 remains occupied during their current in-progress upgrades.

Our amazing Drywall and Construction teams, and the wonderful #subcontractors who we worked with really worked hard to produce a building for quality-living.

As big thank you to The Woodside, Hawkeye Films and The Rose Corporation for being the dream team on different aspects of this project. We can’t wait to break ground on Phase 3.

12 YEARS AND COUNTING

What started off as a small renovation and drywall company in Eric's garage, paid for by a yearly tax return, and with Carl, our first and longest running employee, Jackman Ltd., has now grown into a multi-division, +50 full-time employee operation.

While we were not able to celebrate our 10th anniversary as we would have liked due to Covid, we still wanted to recognize and share in surpassing this milestone with you all.

Cheers to 12 great years of working with the City's best construction staff, suppliers, and sub contractors - you are what makes this all possible!
