Vote for GTA’s project of the year
March 28, 2019
I’m sure that you’ve driven past a new development or you’ve flipped through the pages of this magazine and said to yourself, “These builders and architects got this new community right and I’d love to live there!” BILD is now giving you a chance to have your say to choose the People’s Choice Award for the best new home or condominium development in the GTA. So check out the projects at bildpca.ca and cast your vote by April 15 for your chance to win a $250 pre-paid VISA card.
Through our annual BILD Awards program, we celebrate the excellence and innovation our members strive for, from building high-quality homes, condominiums and complete communities, to creating cutting-edge architecture and design, to producing inspired sales and marketing campaigns.
While it feels great to be recognized by peers, it’s even more meaningful for our members to be recognized by the very people for whom they build homes and communities, the people of the GTA. That’s why the People’s Choice is one of the most coveted categories in the BILD Awards. We’d like you to help pick this year’s recipient.
Start by visiting bildpca.ca for the full list of finalists, project names and locations, the builders and short descriptions and images. The following eight projects vying for the title were shortlisted from the BILD Awards finalists in the mid/high-rise Project of the Year and Low-Rise Project of the Year categories.
