Concert wins Gold at 2009 CARE Awards

Vancouver, BC, Canada – Concert is pleased to announce that it has received gold in three categories at the 2009 CARE (Construction Achievements and Renovations of Excellence) Awards of Vancouver Island. Sponsored by the Victoria Chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, Concert received the Gold CARE Awards for Best Sales Centre, Best Marketing Campaign and Best Customer Service.

“As a community builder, Concert is dedicated to bringing quality homes to the Victoria area over the long term,” says David Podmore, Concert’s Chairman & CEO. “The calibre of builders and developers recognized by way of the CARE Awards represent the very best in professional residential construction. It’s a great honour to have been selected as a Gold CARE Award recipient.”

Concert won the first two Gold CARE Awards for Chelsea – a luxury concrete six-storey lowrise situated in a tranquil and picturesque neighbourhood just blocks from the energy and convenience of downtown Victoria. The Chelsea developer also won gold for Best Customer Service.

The CARE Awards winners are selected by a panel of industry professionals using criteria such as unique design, function, creative use of space, compatibility with the environment, energy efficiency, effective land use and cost.

The winners were announced on October 2, 2009 at the Fairmont Empress Hotel. With these awards, Chelsea joins the ranks of Concert’s first two residential developments in Victoria – Astoria and Belvedere – as Gold CARE Award winners.
