All aspects of the comprehensive development are committed to fostering the community with art, entertainment, and environmental awareness through the support of great Canadian talent,” said Christopher Bratty, President of Land Development and Investments, The Remington Group. The creation of Downtown Markham marks a highlight in the longstanding work of recognized development company, The Remington Group. Art and culture, is one of Downtown Markham’s pillars, and the solar powered carousel is the leading contributions to the artistic foundation of the city. The eco-carousel will feature 60 playful kinetic sculptures created from reusable materials. It will be enclosed in a glass structure so visitors can enjoy the attraction through Canada’s changing seasons. “My inspiration for the carousel will come from my materials. I am eager to see what I find, and what colors will inspire me,” said Patrick Amiot, carousel designer. “The pieces I am creating for the carousel will be one of a kind and set the groundwork for this budding cultural community within Downtown Markham.” The retail and residential development of Downtown Markham is an attractive location for residents and the retail market. At the corner of Warden Avenue and highway 407, Downtown Markham will have two million square feet of retail and dinning, integrated transit, and North America’s largest urban park. $20 million has been invested into the art program. Having the inspiration of arts and culture in the city will revitalize the community, and make Downtown Markham transcend typical city spaces. This carousel is just one of many installations apart of the arts program that will transform Downtown Markham into a must-visit world destination.
