The winner in Category 1 Buildings was BDA Inc. for the Crow’s Theatre New Home. BDA was the constructor on the project and completed the fit out of a multi-purpose cultural and performance event facility located on the ground floor and first parking level of a new 12-storey condo in Leslieville in Toronto.
