Taiwan building projects win top international prize

Taipei, May 31 (CNA) A commercial building project in Taichung City and a public works project in Taipei County have recently won top prizes of the Paris-based International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI), a local real estate assocation said Monday. Parklane by CMP in Taichung took the top prize in the Retail Category and the Northern Taiwan Solar City in Taipei County won in the Sustainable Development Category for their environmentally friendly and high-technology designs. The Prix d'Excellence Awards were presented during FIABCI's 61st World Congress held in Bali May 24-28, according to the Real Estate Association of the Republic of China, which is also registered as FIABCI-Taiwan. This was the second time that Taiwanese properties have won top prize of the FIABCI, the world's leading property organization. A bridge system in the southern port city of Kaohsiung -- the Heart of Love River, won the FIABCI Prix d'Excellence Award at the federation's 60th world congress, which took place in Beijing in May 2009.
