NAIOP Award Provides Boost
Congrats to Ivanhoe Cambridge VP Graeme Silvera (right, with Concert chairman and CEO David Podmore), winner of Retail Development of the Year award at the NAIOP Commercial Real Estate Awards of Excellence. The Guildford Town Centre team includes design and construction partners MCMP and Ledcor.
Guildford Town Centre, in Surrey, has 200k SF of new space, and houses over 170 brand name retailers, like Sport Chek, Old Navy, American Eagle Outfitters and The Children’s Place, plus anchors Walmart, London Drugs, and The Bay. The project has undergone a $280M redevelopment. Winning an award like this is important, Graeme says, because it recognizes the full range of disciplines involved in creating successful real estate solutions, and is not just recognition of the developer behind it. “The news has garnered a lot of comment on the internal company portals and we are all looking forward to the successful opening of our next Western project, Tsawwassen Mills."
