Two 91原创 developments scooped up a series of awards during last week鈥檚 homebuilders award鈥檚 night.

91原创鈥檚 own Vesta Properties and Infinity Properties both earned a series of housing excellence accolades from the Homebuilders Association Vancouver (HAVAN).

The13th annual awards night, held at JW Marriot Parq Hotel in Vancouver, is where regional companies were lauded for their recent works, explained HAVAN CEO Ron Rapp.

鈥淲e are thrilled to be back hosting an in-person event for our members. It is important to be able to celebrate the accomplishments of our industry as the builders, renovators, and designers adopt B.C.鈥檚 advancing energy Step Code requirements,鈥� he said.

鈥淭he Step Code is raising the bar for higher performance homes with advanced techniques and technologies, resulting in improved energy efficiencies, consistent comfort, and better indoor air quality for the homeowner. It is exciting to see the broad variety of archetypes winning awards. From innovative laneway homes to character renovations, luxurious ultra modern houses, and the full spectrum of multi-family developments in-between, the HAVAN Awards showcase our members鈥� best in housing.鈥�

Close to 400 entries were juried by a peer-reviewed panel of award-winning builders, renovators, and designers from across the country

Of those, 33 builders and designers were presented with 61 HAVAN awards at the April 30 event, Vesta being among the firms highlighted that night for its accomplishments.

Vesta celebrated six wins, including two Grand HAVAN Awards for single-family home builder of the year and best single-family residential community 鈥� both for work specific to their Brookswood Mills project.

It鈥檚 a 14-acre, 56-lot community off 28th Avenue, between 202nd and 204th Streets, that sold out within a month.

Located a short distance from the Sunrise Lake (no access, but a designated aquifer-fed lake maintained by residents of a nearby 37-home developoment built in the late 1980s), Brookswood Mills is still a work in progress. But according to Vesta鈥檚 Julie-Anne Sillars, the new development is about 75 per cent occupied already.

鈥淢ost buyers are moving out from Vancouver, New West, Richmond, and from within 91原创. Wanting more land and value for dollar, knowing that working at least part time from home may now become the new norm post pandemic,鈥� Sillars said.

In addition, this development also earned Vesta four other accolades for best single-family, detached-home development (10 units or more); best new kitchen; best primary suite, and best interior design (single-family) in a display home.

They also won best townhouse/rowhome unit (1,500 square feet or more); best townhouse/rowhome development; and best marketing campaign. Again, all these accolades were for Eastridge Panorama.

Teragon Developments & Construction Inc. of 91原创 also brought home some bling from the awards night, sharing credit with JHA Architecture + Interiors in Vancouver for the best special feature (new or renovated) for a project called 鈥淢oderne 鈥� Reflection.鈥�
