Two awards caught the attention of TorontoArtsandEvents:
REBUILD: Project Development at the Building Scale – Wonder Condos – Toronto, Ontario
Building on an urban brown-field site, Wonder Condominium transforms a moderately contaminated industrial site into a complex of homes in a re-adapted heritage building flooded with natural light, supplied with ample bicycle parking facilities and new retail frontage to bring needed animation to an otherwise under-utilized arterial street.
Project Team: Diamond Schmitt, GBCA, Greywood, Alterra, and Entuitive.
RENEW: Project Development at the Neighbourhood Scale – Canals Development – Welland, Ontario
This Canals project transforms two historic extensively contaminated Brownfield properties into a vibrant residential community, with several parks and trails along the Welland Canal. It has a great sports facility and many parks/trails. It also reduces greenhouse gas emissions by reusing soil between the two properties and reducing the amount that needs to be land filled or moved off-site.
Project Team: Empire Communities, Armstrong Planning, EXP Services Inc., YORK1, and MBTW.
