16th Annual Commercial Building Awards

The Commercial Division of the Victoria Real Estate Board today announced the winners of its 16th Annual Commercial Building Awards competition.

All projects were completed in the Capital Regional District between June 1, 2006 and May 31, 2007. Presentations were made at an Awards Luncheon at the Delta Victoria Ocean Pointe Resort on November 22, 2007.

This year’s competition judges were: Commercial Building Awards Committee: Archie Campbell, retired, formerly Campbell Construction Ltd.; Vic Davies, Vic Davies Architect Ltd.; Dennis Fimrite, Firm Management Corporation; Art Kool, First Island Financial Services Ltd.; Tim Taylor, NAI Commercial (Victoria) Ltd.; and Clive Townley, Pemberton Holmes Ltd.

Each year the judges look at the overall exterior design of each building or development project and at how it fits into the surrounding area. They base their final decisions on projects that are sensitive to the environment, are aesthetically pleasing and answer a specific developmental need within the community.

Now in its 16th year, the Commercial Building Awards competition continues to be recognized among architects, builders, developers and the real estate community as a prestigious event dedicated to the advancement of excellence in construction and design.
