This year's Pug Award winners, announced Wednesday evening at the AGO, were quite well predicted by UrbanToronto, although we did miss the Honourable Mention in both residential and commercial categories.
The Residential winners were Honourable Mention The Arc (our fourth pick) in place of our pick Murano, Runner-Up Pure Spirit which we correctly predicted, and 60 Richmond, a clear winner for us and them!
First Place: 60 Richmond East Housing Co-Operative
Second Place: Pure Spirit
Third Place: The Arc
Similarly in the Commercial category, UrbanToronto correctly predicted the first and second place winners while missing the third. Honourable Mention went to Bloorview Kids Rehab in place of our vote for Telus House, while the Runner-Up position was confirmed for the RBC Centre, and we agreed on the clear winner in this category, the Royal Conservatory's Telus Centre for Performance and Learning.
First Place: Royal Conservatory TELUS Centre for Performance and Learning
Second Place: RBC Centre
Third Place: Bloorview Kids Rehab
Congratulations to all winners, to the Pugs for making good architecture a media-worthy issue in Toronto, and to UrbanToronto for voting so astutely!
