UDI Award of Excellence Goes to Jewel!

Jewel has added another award to its already impressive list of accolades. Striking gold in the Best Suburban High Rise category of the 2012 Urban Development Institute (UDI) Awards of Excellence, Jewel has now received three major industry awards, confirming what buyers already know — this Burnaby residence is a very special place to call home.

“The UDI Awards are particularly significant within the industry because they are the only award platform where the judging panel actually visit each site… not just once, but twice,” says Karen West, sales and marketing director. The panel represents a diverse cross-section of highly respected, industry experts including architects, developers, senior financiers, appraisers, and sustainability experts.

 

Jim Ellis, VP Development, attributes Jewel’s success to three key elements. “From the front entry and port cochere and concierge in the lobby to the spa-style amenities right through to the landscape design, every detail is designed to feel like you’re coming home to a five-star hotel,” he explains.

“Second, there’s the size and elegance of the suites themselves. Floor plans are elegantly spacious, ranging from 1,100 to 1,250 square feet, all with a meticulous attention to quality and luxury,” he notes. “And third is the investment potential. Within just two years, we’ve see prices increase 20 to 30%, and there’s a waiting list of people who are ready to buy as soon as a home comes available.”

Designed by award-winning firms, Chris Dikeakos Architects and Cristina Oberti Interior Design, Jewel homes have created a new standard of luxury condominium living in Burnaby.
