The Urban Development Institute Pacific Region (UDI) has announced the winners of the 2014 UDI Awards for Excellence, honouring B.C.’s real estate industry.

“The UDI Awards are the premier form of peer recognition for B.C.’s real estate development industry,” said Anne McMullin, president and chief executive officer of the Institute. “This year’s record number of exceptional submissions had the jury deliberating at length to identify the top achievers for each category.”

The development teams and their winning projects were judged based on marketing success, innovative design, sustainable building, landscape features and integration with transit.

The Maureen Enser award went to Beau Jarvis, senior vice-president of development at Wesgroup Properties. The award recognizes a UDI member who has demonstrated leadership and vision, among other attributes.

In addition, four industry leaders, Keith Beedie, Milan Ilich, Robert H. Lee and Joe Segal, were inducted into the UDI Hall of Fame.
