TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2026 /CNW/ -- At the recent Ontario Home Builders' Association (OHBA) 2026 Awards of Distinction Gala, Amexon Development Corporation's e-lofts won the coveted OHBA Award for "High-Rise Building of the Year".

This highly sought-after Prestige Award recognizes project excellence and is given to a development that exemplifies outstanding architecture, innovation, and design excellence.

"We are honoured to have won this prestigious OHBA award. It reflects the vision behind e-lofts and the collaboration of our talented project team, including CORE Architects Inc. and II BY IV DESIGN," said Ashling Evans, Vice President of Amexon Development Corporation.

e-lofts is a transit-oriented development embracing sustainable purpose-built rentals.

Located at Eglinton Avenue East and Don Mills Road, e-lofts is an existing 15-storey office building transformed into a vibrant residential property, offering authentic loft-style suites. Designed in collaboration with CORE Architects and II BY IV DESIGN, the development connects the natural beauty of the Don River parklands with the urban energy of Eglinton. With direct access to major transit lines — including the new Eglinton Crosstown LRT and the future Ontario Line subway — e-lofts is a true transit-oriented community. The loft-style suites at e-lofts will feature 12-foot floor-to-ceiling windows, polished concrete floors, exposed spiral ductwork, and structural elements for an industrial-chic aesthetic.

Curated amenities elevate daily living, including a state-of-the-art fitness centre, expansive co-working spaces, pet daycare, and a 14,000 sq. ft. rooftop patio offering panoramic views of the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario.

True to its name, the "e" in e-lofts represents both the development's environmental focus and the energy of Eglinton neighbourhood.

"e-lofts represents a sustainable approach to modern urban loft living," said Deni Poletti, Founding Partner at CORE Architects, who leads the architectural design of the project. "Our design introduces bold, authentic loft character and effectively blends contemporary style with environmental responsibility." 

To bring this vision to life, Amexon engaged award-winning interior design studio II BY IV DESIGN. Known for their innovative approach, II BY IV DESIGN will transform the soaring interior volumes into authentic loft-style suites.

"The interiors at e-lofts are designed to create a contemporary loft experience that balances style, functionality, and comfort," said Dan Menchions, Principal at II BY IV DESIGN. "The generous ceiling heights and expansive views allow us to create spaces that feel open, modern, and connected to their surroundings."
