We are thrilled to announce that Dermot Sweeny, Founding Principal and President of Sweeny&Co Architects, will be on our panel of judges for this year's Development Challenge!
The award winning firm, Sweeny&Co, with notable projects located across the GTA, is a design firm with strong foundations in architecture, interior design and planning, and Dermot has incorporated his strong passion towards sustainable architecture into the firm's design philosophy and expertise. His passion for green building has put him at the forefront of a movement to design office and residential buildings that enhance comfort for people and minimize the impact on the environment.
Dermot has brought global and national corporations such as Microsoft, Loblaw, TELUS, RBC Financial Group, RBC Dexia, BMW, SunLife Financial and Chartwell to the forefront of sustainability. His commissions include commercial office towers, head offices, mixed-use, transit oriented and residential developments, including 11 Yorkville (11 YV), academic institutions, hospitality, and retail interiors. This broad base of clientele and project typologies is further served with real-estate development, financial proforma analysis, development consulting and project management.
Dermot's extensive background in building design, urban design, urban economics, and real estate development make him a fantastic addition to the panel of judges.
