Our Alexandra Park revitalization project won two prestigious awards for development and urban design from the Urban Land Institute (ULI). Alexandra Park was the only Canadian project to earn one of nine ULI Global Awards for Excellence, and one of 12 projects honoured with ULI’s Americas Awards for Excellence. We shared both awards with our developer partner Tridel, designers Urban Strategies, LGA architectural partners, Teeple Architects Inc. and Janet Rosenberg Studio.

The new Gordonridge Community Multi-Sport Court development in Scarborough was recognized by the Canadian Society of Landscape Architects (CSLA). Our partner ERA Architects won the 2021 Award of Excellence for Landscape Design for this project. The CSLA cited the project’s unique collaborative design approach that made Gordonridge residents the core decision-makers, enabling the project to reflect the community’s values, interests and identity.

We worked with Taylor Smyth Architects on the tower renewal of 30 Teesdale Place. The transformative project was shortlisted for the 2021 EIFS Council of Canada Architectural Design Award Program. The shortlisting highlighted the project’s cladding design, which provides residents with a unique identifier for their home. The development improves the connection between residents, their home and the surrounding natural and built environment.

Recognizing the ongoing transformation of our information technology infrastructure, Luisa Andrews, Vice President of Information Technology Services, won the Info-Tech Research Group's Chief Information Officer Award. Luisa and her team were recognized for their efforts to build up TCHC’s core IT services, enabling TCHC to continue making improvements to how we serve tenants.​
