For Immediate Release World On Yonge: Liberty Development’s World On Yonge wins the Pinnacle Award for the Places to Grow Community of the Year – High-Rise category, at the 31st Annual BILD Awards Ceremony. May 5, 2011 – Liberty Development, a real estate developer based in Thornhill with a longstanding commitment to creating mixed-use, transit-oriented projects across the GTA, recently won the Places to Grow Community of the Year (High-Rise) at last week’s 31st Annual Building Industry and Land Development (BILD) Association Awards event. “We were honoured to win this highly prestigious award from our peers in the GTA’s residential development industry,” says Marco Filice, Vice President and Senior Counsel, Liberty Development. “We see World On Yonge as a development model that not only inspires our ongoing projects, but can inspire the industry itself to plan and build mixed-use communities, which meet municipal and provincial goals across the province, while appealing to end users.” Featuring York Region’s tallest office building, (Office on Yonge) at 20 storeys, World On Yonge includes dynamic retail at grade, a sustainable green roof and landscaped courtyard, and just over 1,200 residential units across four, mixed-use high-rise buildings. Estimates suggest that the community yields over 1,000 people and jobs per hectare, which is nearly five times the Provincial target, and has been achieved twenty-five years ahead of the Province’s schedule. In keeping with the principles of the Province’s Places to Grow legislation, World On Yonge has also pursued green technology infrastructure opportunities, such as: Water & Green Roof Process, Air Quality Improvement, Waste Diversion Opportunities, and Energy Conservation Initiatives. “Liberty is honoured to be a recipient of this inaugural award from Canada’s largest home building industry association,” adds Marco Filice. “But we are most appreciative of the people who have chosen to live or work at World On Yonge. They have helped make it the Community of the Year”. Media Contact: |
