Frame Custom Homes for Urban Retreat, 7 Prize Winners
The 29th annual Okanagan Housing Awards of Excellence went virtual for the first time on Saturday night due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Frame Custom Homes stole the show and won seven awards, while Kelowna’s Bellamy Homes, West Kelowna’s H&H Custom Homes took home three awards, and Penticton builder Edgehill Developments won four.
“It’s been a weird year to say the least,” says Colin Basran, Kelowna mayor.
“The construction sector was one of the bright lights in Kelowna’s economy [and] one of the largest employers in our region … Our collaboration with the Canadian builders association Central Okanagan has helped us in one of the most difficult years of recent times. “
The best projects of the year in the fields of new construction, apartment renovation and interior design were highlighted. The awards also feature excellent environmental initiatives and affordable housing.
“Despite the pandemic, residential construction has remained stable and has kept our local economy moving,” says Dan Winer, Executive Officer.
“These builders, renovators, designers and suppliers were one of the bright spots for our community this year. Celebrating your successes despite all the challenges of the year is a testament to the tenacity and creativity of our local housing industry. “
