2 Golds, 3 Silvers and a win for sustainability.
The New Zealand Commercial Project Awards, a competition which
showcases and celebrates the best in commercial construction from
around the country, saw a total of 119 entries for 2024.
The Foster Group (Fosters) are celebrating two Gold and three Silver
awards across five categories: commercial, industrial, retail, public and
residential.
Gold went to Union Square’s Buildings E and F (commercial), and Convex
(industrial). NIWA won Silver in the public category, while Bay of Plenty
projects The Village Omokoroa (retail) and Vantage (residential) were
also awarded Silver.
With both Union Square and The Village Omokoroa being Fosters’
property development projects, the awards highlight the Group’s growing
strength in this area.
It was pleasing to note that sustainability was at the forefront in this
year’s competition.
A statement from Registered Master Builders, who run the nationwide
competition, noted: “The trend towards sustainable building practices
reflects a growing awareness within the commercial sector of the
importance of environmental stewardship.”
As conscious leaders in sustainable building practice, we take that as a
win too.
