the award-winning project was
the Anzio Triplex – another in-
novative, energy-efficient prod-
uct that the company both de-
signed and built.
The Anzio Triplex is a Grandview
development that comprises a
four-bedroom home built over
a one-bed suite and a two-
bed-suite, plus an independent
two-bed, two-bath laneway
apartment. It was constructed
from pre-fabricated structural
insulated panels (SIPs), which
– when combined with other
innovative construction tech-
nologies – “put the building in a
class of its own regarding per-
formance and sustainability,”
according to Nick.
“We seismically-upgraded the
structure, and we selected the
materials to stand the test of
time,” he says, further describ-
ing the project. He calls the
design “strikingly modern but
respectful,” and says the layout
“was exceptionally practical and
efficient.”
The Georgie Awards were not
the only industry body to rec-
ognize that project, or Project
Mint Developments overall.
There was also the Homebuild-
ers Association Vancouver (HA-
VAN) Ovation Awards, which
are also highly recognised by
both the industry and the pub-
lic. Their mission is to highlight
the best projects HAVAN mem-
bers have built, renovated,
designed and/or marketed in
Metro Vancouver. In the past
few years, they have highlight-
ed Project Mint Developments
multiple times.
In 2017, for instance, the com-
pany won two Ovation Awards
for the Pender Duplex – includ-
ing Best Townhouse / Row-
home Infill Development, as
well as Best New Kitchen Under
$50,000, both for the Pender
Duplex. The same project also
made them a finalist for Best In-
terior Design Display Suite.
The next year, the Anzio Triplex
project was also celebrated at
the Ovation Awards. For that
job, Project Mint Developments
received Best Townhouse /
Rowhome Infill Development,
as well as the prestigious BC
Housing Award for Excellence
in Innovative Housing Choices.
The latter prize was presented
by the province’s Minister of
Municipal Affairs and Housing.
According to Nick, that kind of
industry recognition meant a
lot to him and his team.
“Those awards confirm that
we’re doing what we set to do,
and accomplishing what we
