2020 VIREB Commercial Building Awards On behalf of the Commercial Division of the Vancouver Island Real Estate Board (VIREB), we are delighted to present the 13th Annual Commercial Building Awards, in a Virtual Format due to extraordinary circumstances this year, for projects completed in 2019.

We’ve had to make major adjustments to our normal awards event, but we trust you will enjoy the Video that will feature our sponsors and finalists.

Congratulations to all finalists and all of those nominated.

The Commercial Division of VIREB, now into its 15th year, is dedicated to the advancement of excellence in commercial development to encourage a better environment within our community.

John Cooper

Chair, Commercial Building Awards

Following the great successes of our first 12 Commercial Building Awards, VIREB’s Commercial Division committed once again to continuing the gala celebration, which really is an excellent way to recognize and honour the best in commercial buildings north of the Malahat on Vancouver Island.

Special thanks to our Gold sponsor Coastal Community Credit Union and Category sponsors BDC (Business Development Bank of Canada), RE/MAX Commercial, NAI Commercial, Yellow Sheet Construction Review, Herold Engineering, Canadian Western Bank and MNP LLP. Also, a special thank you to Business Examiner Vancouver Island for coordinating the event.

Once again, the interest in our Commercial Building Awards has been very strong.

We received a near record number of nominations from all VIREB zones, including the North Cowichan, Ladysmith, Cedar, Nanaimo, Lantzville, Nanoose, Parksville, Qualicum Beach, Tofino, Ucluelet, the Comox Valley, Campbell River and Sayward. This year, the number of finalists being judged was 43!

To be eligible for nomination, an investment, commercial, multi-family or industrial building, development or renovation project had to have been completed between January 1, 2019 and December 31, 2019.

The challenge of naming the award winners went to our team of independent judges, selected from the professional and development industries. They actually traveled to the various communities to see the projects first-hand.

The criteria required a building or renovation project to complement the surrounding properties and area, be esthetically pleasing, include unique architectural features, and answer a specific development need within the community. The level of finish and choice in construction materials was also a determining factor, as was any environmentally friendly or green elements for possible consideration.

We are very excited about the excellent quality of development underway all over Vancouver Island.

Tonight, we are proud to showcase such excellence! We truly hope you enjoy the Virtual, Video Presentation we’ve prepared for this year, and the information about the projects we’ve shared with you in this book.

575 exemplifies our mission to raise the bar for rental apartment offerings on Vancouver Island.

Walking through the front doors feels as though you are walking into the lobby of a luxury hotel rather than a typical apartment building. With WA Architects we created a building that perfectly matched our goals of bringing a fresh take on a rental apartment building inside and out.

We went above and beyond to make this building as energy efficient as possible by including high efficiency windows complete with integrated passive air vents, EIFs stucco with up to 8 inch insulated panel substrate, high efficiency exterior insulated roof system, LED lighting throughout all suites and common areas and high efficiency mini split heats pumps with inverter technology installed in each suite. In addition to these energy efficient offerings, all suites are well appointed with floor to ceiling cabinets, quartz counter tops, stainless steel appliances, designer window coverings and large private balconies. To build on Veyron’s “a community within” philosophy, this building includes an expansive roof top patio for all residents to take advantage of panoramic mountain views along with an attached fully furnished indoor community lounge.

This property also boasts a community garden and secured bike storage within the immaculately kept grounds.

St. Aidans church was first constructed with volunteers from the community using re-purposed materials from a Second World War structure in the community. The goal was to remediate the building with the OCP guidelines of a “West Coast fishing village” and keep intact the recognition the locals refer to as the “church”. For the building to be used for public assembly - which it has - the majority of it features our first microbrewery, Ucluelet Brewing Co., and retail space for Foggy Bean Co., a Ucluelet-based roastery.

From the roadside, the striking upscale casual restaurant and bar enriches the surrounding area and businesses.

The open concept interior is comprised of contemporary wood finishes throughout and boasts an ample sized bar, plenty of cushy booth seating, and fireplace at the entryway. The space is a warm and welcoming space for visitors and comfortably seats up to 130 patrons.

Four warehouses on narrow lots along a private landscaped driveway in Campbell River.

Emphasis of wood design with tall stud walls and conventional wood trusses. Durable/low maintenance materials with metal cladding/roofing and insulated concrete bases.

This IWCD Design-Build project is a truck maintenance facility with a 2-storey office space. As with all IWCD design build projects, we worked with the owner to align the design with their budget and mitigate cost overruns. The finished product incorporates exterior design elements such as timber beams and richly coloured hardie siding to create a look less austere than a typical industrial building. The shop portion is a pre-engineered steel building - the wood-frame add-on portion not only gave the owner the office space they required, but allowed for the incorporation of west coast design elements.

This project comprised 3 separate work sites with their own unique challenges. Extensive and significant environmental work by Knappett with the intake and transmission mains due to the work directly in and adjacent to the environmentally sensitive salmon bearing Englishman River. The work at the intake required constant environmental monitoring during the in-stream works. Very stringent dewatering and sediment control procedures were required to be followed, to ensure a safe and secure water system.

The new Sayward library is the first of VIRL’s Rural Prototype model, a cost-effective, sustainable, and scalable design that allows VIRL to build state-of-the-art new libraries in rural and remote communities. For the people of Sayward, their new library provides a much needed space for groups to meet, ideas to incubate, children to learn, and community to grow. VIRL held consultations as part of the planning process, and one of the clearly desired items for the community was a defined space that could be used for community groups, business meetings, and other functions.

The 12,900 sf building is constructed largely of masonry, steel and steel stud, with a glulam post and beam structure and full height curtain wall glazing for the admin part of the building.
