Jury Citation
This year’s Sustainability Advancement category had an incredible diversity of projects, from residential to workplace to retail. The jury was impressed by 17 Union Street for expertly meeting all of the sustainability criteria both aesthetically and functionally, and for also supporting the idea of community and precinct as a form of social sustainability. It champions longevity and the importance of thinking about sustainability in regards to long term building use rather than short term compliance. The judges unanimously agreed it is an excellent example to which developers can realistically aspire.
