A sold-out event celebrated the “best of commercial building” at the inaugural Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV) Commercial Building Awards recently.
The Woodward’s Building redevelopment, at 100 West Hastings, won the Judges’ Choice Award for best overall of the 36 entries. Woodward’s also won the excellence award in the mixed use commercial/residential category for owner/developer Ian Gillespie of Westbank and Ben Yeung, Peterson Investment Group. Westbank and Peterson Investment Group were also winners of the excellence award in the hospitality/hotel category for the Shangri-La Vancouver hotel at 1128 West Georgia.
“We were very pleased with the excellent entries into our first-ever Commercial Building Awards and want to congratulate all the award recipients,” says Jake Moldowan, REBGV president. “The quality of our commercial buildings is a significant reason why Metro Vancouver is considered to be a world-class area.”
