Tridel has won the Home Builder of the Year award for the second time.
The award, handed out by the
Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), is the result of professional adjudication as well as a survey BILD conducts among homebuyers.
"Home Builder of the Year is an all-encompassing award," says BILD’s vice president of membership, Helen Batista. "It includes charitable work, the professional development of staff, and it very much takes into account the opinion of their actual clients, the people who buy and live in their homes."
Batista also cites the developer, which sold 1,109 condos in 2012, for its green building practices, its youth program, known as
BOLT, particularly as conducted through Northview Heights Secondary School.
Tridel won the award once before, in 2004, when there were separate awards for high-rise and low-rise builders. This year's prize covers all homebuilders.
