Skyline Living announced it has received two prestigious Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations (CFAA) National Rental Housing Awards for Rental Development of the Year and Rental Housing Provider of the Year.
The CFAA is the national voice of the apartment housing industry in Canada and engages in advocacy on behalf of the industry as a whole. Held each year in May, the awards commemorate housing providers that go above and beyond in serving their tenants and the communities in which they operate.
“At Skyline Living, we pride ourselves on examining our practices and working towards continuous improvement,” said BJ Santavy, Vice President, Skyline Living. “This past year, we have focused on our sustainability goals and are proud to see those efforts recognized in the rental housing industry,”
This year’s awards were held in-person at the Toronto Hyatt Regency after two years of virtual presentations due to COVID-19.
“There were many amazing entries in each category, and we congratulate all of our peers on their tireless work to advance our industry and set a high standard every day,” Santavy said. ” It’s an honour and a privilege to be recognized amongst our industry’s best.”
For Rental Development of the Year, the winning property was Carrington View Apartments located in West Kelowna, British Columbia. Described as a beautiful three-building, 186-unit luxury rental development with spectacular views of Okanagan Lake, Carrington View was designed to be net-zero energy ready, and features an array of solar panels that are expected to produce enough power to operate all common areas of the property.
CFAA’s Rental Housing Provider of the Year Award recognizes a rental housing provider that has demonstrated exceptional leadership through an action, practice, or a dedicated initiative. Skyline Living is proud to be recognized for its deep focus on Environmental, Social, Governance (ESG). In early 2021, Skyline Group of Companies, the parent company of Skyline Living, formalized its ESG initiatives with an official and measurable Sustainability Plan it has since put into effect.
“These changes are key toward making a positive difference in our world in every way we can,” noted Santavy. “The data acquired through this formal process has helped to effectively determine which efforts would have the greatest impact. Many other rental providers have begun implementing their own ESG plans, and we hope to continue to have a positive influence in this regard. This process enshrines Skyline Living’s concept of a housing provider as not only a business but a contributor toward its community.”
