Liberty Station was recently awarded the prestigious international 2011 Prix d’Excellence Award by the International Real Estate Federation (FIABCI), a respected international, professional real estate organization. The honor recognized the Point Loma development for Best Master Plan, and was only one of two awards given to candidates in the United States. Fifteen awards were given from entries submitted from throughout the world. Officials said the projects are assessed on a number of disciplines involved in their creation. The award was presented recently to Janice Weinrick, deputy executive director of the city’s redevelopment agency on behalf of the city.  “We’re very proud of the accomplishments and the implementation of the community’s re-use plan,” said Scott McMillin, chairman of The Corky McMillin Companies. “To date, Liberty Station has generated $26 million of tax increment, and over $6 million of TOT (transient occupancy tax). We are excited and honored to be given this distinguished award from the International Real Estate Federation. This is not only an honor for Liberty Station and The Corky McMillin Companies, but for the city of San Diego as well. It is important to us that the city … share in this international honor.” District 2 City Councilman Kevin Faulconer was present for the formal recognition, which took place before the full City Council. “The Corky McMillin Companies has created a fantastic neighborhood of shops and restaurants, while preserving the legacy of the military and honoring the former military base,” Faulconer said. The 361-acre Liberty Station community includes 125 acres of parks and open space, shopping villages and restaurants, a 28-acre civic, arts and cultural district and the nine-hole Sail Ho Golf Club.
