For the seventh year in a row, CreateTO provided the case for the Ted Rogers Real Estate Association Expand Your Empire Case Competition that took place on Saturday, February 1, 2025. CreateTO's Carlo Bonanni, Senior Vice President, Planning and Design and Melita Varga, Director, Client & Stakeholder Enablement were on the judging panel and this year, the case focused on re-development potential of City-owned sites within the Moss Park neighbourhood.
Congratulations to the teams who competed in the competition, and especially the winning team from Queen's University who took the win! An exceptionally crisp presentation delivery, thorough analysis and thoughtful site selections, phasing and relocation plans earned them the $10,000 prize.
