Tomorrow, and the city's commercial real estate development association,
NAIOP (which, believe it or not, does not seem to be an acronym for anything), will be handing out its major prizes at the 10th annual Real Estate Excellence Awards.
There are 18 nominees for the six
Rex Awards, which include office development of the year, industrial development of the year, investment deal of the year and an award for the greenest commercial development.
Oxford Properties has been nominated five times in four categories, and
CB Richard Ellis is up for two of the awards.
The prizes will be handed out at the Allstream Centre at Exhibition Place at a $500-a-seat gala dinner, the proceeds from which are going to help build a community kitchen for
Eva's Initiatives, which helps youth who are homeless or otherwise disadvantaged.
