HOLBORN’s Joo Kim Tiah receives Best Contribution to the Skyline award at the UDI Awards for Excellence 2018


Vancouver, BC, Nov. 30, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The Holborn Group of Companies announced earlier this week their acceptance of the special award for Best Contribution to the Skyline from the Urban Development Institute (Pacific Region) during the evening ceremony of its UDI Awards for Excellence 2018 on Nov 22, 18.  Holborn was recognized as one of the developers behind the Trump International Hotel & Tower Vancouver; an iconic twisting tower which stands as the second tallest building in the city.  The mixed-use high rise tower which has quickly become an icon on Vancouver’s skyline was the last architectural design by the late Arthur Erickson, a renowned Canadian architect.  The glass tower twists 45 degrees from the base to the top, maximizing views from every room.

The UDI Awards for Excellence is a biennial award ceremony that recognizes and honors the top achievers whose projects have made an exceptional impact on the local community and the urban landscape.  The awards are the premier, and highest profile of peer to peer recognition of completed development projects in the Lower Mainland, Fraser Valley, Okanagan, Vancouver, and the rest of British Columbia. The awards also recognize projects from ground-oriented to high rise, commercial/retail/office to mixed use and more.  Local developers across the lower mainland submit their completed projects to be judged by the jury panel.  Holborn is the first developer to receive the inaugural Best Contribution to the Skyline award; and its Principal Joo Kim Tiah graciously accepted the surprise award at the evening ceremony.     

Joo Kim Tiah was extremely humbled and grateful for UDI’s recognition of the tenacity and achievement of this project in his acceptance speech: “…I have the highest respect for everyone in this room and this award means a lot to me just to have the appreciation and the support of the peers from our industry and from the UDI.”
