The gala event highlighted the best in commercial building in OMREB’s jurisdiction – from Peachland to Revelstoke – celebrating projects completed between January 1, 2009 and September 1, 2010. “The awards recognize the unique variety of quality commercial, industrial and investment real estate developments throughout the Okanagan Mainline Real Estate Board,” says Tim Down of OMREB’s Commercial Zone executive and the 2010 Awards Committee Chair. “We see the event as a great opportunity to raise awareness of the new real estate projects that enhance our communities through their design.”

There were 12 categories represented at the 2010 event sponsored by REMAX Western Canada, Terasen Gas, Fortis BC, Business Thompson Okanagan, and SW Audio Visual.
