Brightstone Developments has been recognized by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as the recipient of the 2026 award for Best Luxury Residential Development in Canada for The Briar on Avenue. The Toronto-based project reflects the company’s commitment to thoughtful design, elevated construction standards, and a client-focused development philosophy.

Founded in 2016, Brightstone Developments has established a reputation for delivering thoughtfully designed luxury residences shaped by precision, functionality, and long-term livability. Led by Steven Heller, President and CEO, and Yoav Bohbot, Vice President and Director of Acquisitions, the company emphasizes a hands-on development process that prioritizes detail, quality, and direct collaboration with homeowners throughout every stage of the project.

The Briar on Avenue represents this execution through a collection of luxury residences designed in collaboration with Richard Wengle Architect Inc. and Tara Fingold Design Group. Located in Toronto, the completed project integrates advanced residential features, including block wall separation for enhanced privacy, radiant heated flooring, high-efficiency zoned HVAC systems, heated driveways, EV charging readiness, and integrated smart home capabilities. The development was designed to maximize comfort, spatial efficiency, and contemporary urban living within a constrained city footprint.

Brightstone Developments integrates sustainability-conscious systems across its residential portfolio through energy-efficient mechanical design, enhanced thermal performance, water conservation technologies, and transit-oriented urban planning. At The Briar on Avenue, these initiatives include advanced insulation systems, hot water recirculation technology, EV infrastructure readiness, and high-efficiency climate control systems designed to support long-term residential performance.

“The Briar on Avenue reflects our belief that luxury living should combine architectural integrity, technical precision, and long-term functionality,” said Steven Heller, President and CEO of Brightstone Developments. “This recognition is meaningful because it acknowledges the care and attention our team brings to every aspect of the homeowner experience.”

“Luxury residential development today requires more than architectural distinction – it requires relevance, quality, and a clear understanding of how people want to live. Brightstone Developments has demonstrated a disciplined and detail-oriented approach through The Briar on Avenue, contributing meaningfully to the evolution of luxury residential living in Canada,” said Alexander Chetchikov, CEO of Luxury Lifestyle Awards and President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce.
