  • One Delisle is a BILD Awards finalist for Project of the Year

    BILD just announced its finalists for the 2021 BILD Awards.

    This is probably the most noteworthy awards program in the development industry here in the Greater Toronto Area. And so I am pretty excited to announce that One Delisle is a finalist for the following awards:

    • Project of the Year, Mid/High-Rise (Pinnacle Award)
    • People’s Choice Award (Voting Opens August 2021)
    • Best Suite Design, Large — West Penthouse Residence
    • Best Innovative Suite Design – Sky Collection Suite

    The full list can be found over here (PDF). All of the finalists’ work is also going to be posted on the BILD Awards website before the end of this week.

    The actual winners will be announced this fall at the Awards Gala on October 7, 2021. I’m not sure if it has been decided yet whether it will be in person or online, but we all know that in person would be much better. Let’s hope that will be the case.

    Given the good news, our office decided that it was probably a good idea to make a few margaritas this evening:

    Whatever the end result, we are thrilled to be a finalist.

    We are also a past recipient of the “Best Innovative Suite Design” award, which was given to our House Collection of suites at Junction House. So I guess we like working our floor plans.

    Congratulations to the full One Delisle team. This is well deserved.

  • Junction House is a finalist in the 39th Annual BILD Awards

    I am excited to announce that Junction House is a 2019 finalist in the 39th Annual BILD Awards. The project is up for the following 4 awards:

    1. Best Signage (it was probably the neon that did it)
    2. Best Suite Design (large suite)
    3. Best Innovative Suite Design (it’s a suite from our unique 2-storey House Collection)
    4. Best Mid-Rise Building Design

    This last one is a “Pinnacle” award, but I’ll be honest in that I don’t know what that means. It sounds impressive though.

    BILD received some 850 submissions this year, so kudos to the project team: Superkül, Dialogue 38, Vanderbrand, Unique Urban Homes, DTAH, WND Associates, and others.

    We spend an inordinate amount of time on our floor plans — they are people’s eventual homes. So it’s nice to see a bit of that effort reflected above.
