Crestpoint Real Estate Investments Ltd. in Toronto wins in medical building category
Toronto, ON – Global commercial real estate advisor, Avison Young, congratulates Crestpoint Real Estate Investments Ltd. (“Crestpoint”) for winning the Building Owners and Managers Association of Canada (BOMA Canada) National TOBY Award for Outstanding Building of the Year in the medical building category.
Managed by Avison Young Real Estate Management Services, 1929 Bayview Avenue in Toronto is a groundbreaking model of universal design, where attention was given to how the 140,000-square-foot structure could be experienced through all the senses. Overlooking Bayview Avenue in midtown, the accessible, AAA four-storey facility is near Sunnybrook Health Science Centre and Bloorview Kids Rehab Centre.
The property includes modern building features, such as natural lighting throughout, talking elevators and wayfinding signage, tactile flooring, contrasting colours, and extra-wide central hallways. It has achieved the highest sustainability and accessibility certifications in the industry, earning BOMA BEST Platinum and the Rick Hanson Foundation Accessibility Certified Gold, respectively.
“I am delighted for our client and for our entire team of property managers at Avison Young who bring home this incredible honour from BOMA,” said Neil Lacheur, Principal and Executive Vice President, Real Estate Management Services. “Ken Trinh and Kaveh Moeini are true leaders who work closely with Crestpoint to ensure this cutting-edge property remains at the forefront of excellence – and I can not celebrate them enough.”
The national BOMA TOBY Awards were presented in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on September 17, 2025, during the annual BOMEX conference.
Key areas of consideration for all TOBY categories include building standards, sustainability, energy conservation, accessibility, tenant relations, community impact, emergency preparedness, environmental policies, and personnel training programs.
Crestpoint and Avison Young will next move forward to the international BOMA TOBY awards, held in 2026.
