The Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) Awards are back this year honouring the industry's best and brightest in design, construction, marketing, and sales of new homes in the Greater Toronto Area.
Winners of the 2025 BILD Awards were announced at a ceremony on Thursday, May 29, 2025, and selected by 51 expert judges from across North America who considered over 700 submitted entries to determine this year's winners.
“The BILD Awards is one of the largest and most prestigious awards programs of its kind in North America,” said Dave Wilkes, BILD President & CEO in a press release. “This year’s winners truly exemplify outstanding innovation and showcase the excellence of the building industry in the Greater Toronto Area.”
This year, the highly-regarded Lifetime Achievement Award was awarded to Founder and CEO of Metropia, Howard Sokolowski, who has been at the helm of Canada’s development industry for more than three decades. The award recognizes "those who have dedicated a lifetime to the association and the industry and demonstrated significant leadership and commitment to the greater good."
