Two HOOPP LEAP Awards Recognize GWLRA’s Sustainability Leadership in Vancouver

Two recent HOOPP LEAP Awards are shining a spotlight on GWL Realty Advisors' efforts to building a more sustainable future. We are proud to see 840 Howe and Vancouver Centre II recognized for leadership, innovation and measurable progress in sustainable real estate. More than a celebration of strong building performance, these awards reflect thoughtful planning, practical action and the dedication of local teams working every day to reduce emissions and help prepare the properties we manage for what comes next.

Recognizing results at 840 Howe

At 840 Howe, this latest recognition marks the property's fourth HOOPP LEAP Award, underscoring a sustained commitment to improving performance over time. Through system upgrades, careful monitoring and a focus on continuous improvement, the team has helped transform the building into a low emission asset. Achieving CAGBC Zero Carbon Building Performance Certification in 2025 is an important milestone, but just as meaningful is what sits behind it: steady collaboration, disciplined execution and a local team committed to delivering measurable results.

Planning ahead at Vancouver Centre II

At Vancouver Centre II, the award reflects the strength of a proactive, data-driven approach. While this recent construction building already performs at a high level, the local team worked with partners to identify future electrification opportunities and develop a decarbonization strategy aligned with evolving regulatory requirements. This forward-looking work shows that sustainability is not only about upgrading older assets. It is also about helping newer, efficient buildings remain resilient, compliant and ready for the future.

A results-oriented approach to sustainability

Together, these awards reflect how GWLRA approaches sustainability in practice, combining long-term thinking with practical execution at the property level. They highlight the strength of our local teams, the value of collaboration and our ongoing efforts to creating high-performing buildings that deliver meaningful environmental results. As the real estate industry continues to evolve, recognitions like these reinforce the impact of steady progress, informed decision-making and responsible management.
