We are pleased to announce that two of Kirkor’s projects have been selected in multiple categories as finalists for the 2011 Ontario Home Builders’ Association Awards of Distinction.

The Madison

The Madison, our project on Eglinton Avenue just east of Yonge, designed for the Madison Group, is up for several awards, including Project of the Year in the High-Rise category. The project involves two towers that appear to float above the streetscape. It was important to design a façade that would not appear to dominate the city block. We did this by creating a three storey high entrance which steps back toward the slightly curved towers.

The Madison

Other awards for the same project include Most Outstanding High or Mid-Rise Condo Suite and Most Outstanding High-Rise Condo Suite Kitchen.

The World on Yonge, a mixed-use development on Yonge north of Steeles which we designed for our client Liberty Group, is shortlisted for Most Outstanding High-Rise Building. The project won a 2011 BILD Award in the category Community of the Year – Highrise, as a development that is particularly reflective of the provincial Places to Grow Act.
