The Residences of 488 University Avenue wins 4 International Property Awards
By Lucas on Nov 10, 2015
Every year, we see more evidence that Toronto is making a stronger and stronger impact on the world of architecture and design, not just within Canada but also globally. The most recent case of a Toronto condo development being praised on the other side of the world is Amexon Development’s success at the International Property Awards, based in England.
Out of the Americas, Amexon’s The Residences of 488 University Avenue took home four awards, including:
Best Architecture-Multiple Residences
Best Residential High-Rise Development
Best Condominium Canada
Best Interior Design Canada
The International Property Awards are judged by a panel of 80 developers, architects, designers and other real estate professionals from around the world.
“We are extremely proud of what we are creating at The Residences of 488 University Avenue,” says Amexon’s Jason Shiff, Executive Sales Manager. “We share these awards with our valued partners in the development, and know these honours are testament that we are all undertaking a very special, stand-alone condominium development not only Toronto, but now recognized throughout the world.”
The striking, award-winning, 55-storey tower was designed by CORE Architects, and the interiors were designed by II By IV Design, both of which are highly established and very successful firms based in Toronto.
