There was a housing shortage in Markham and Stouffville, but NOT anymore! Susan Taylor Real Estate Group and Olivia Waye of CIBC supplied the building materials — LEGO! — to 60 families who used it to build some pretty awesome homes! Our participants had to post their pics of their completed structures by March 18th and tag: #legohouseSTG to be entered to win one of two gift cards for the LEGO store.
Our judging committee studied all pictures and description of the entries and have selected our 2 winners!

WINNER #2 — Eileen Fung
“Designed and constructed by my 6 year old daughter. The open concept kitchen leading into the family room is perfect for hosting those big gatherings (when we’re allowed to gather again) and the many windows let in lots of natural light. Relax in the backyard oasis after a long day at work. It even boasts a pool with diving board and fan!
Thanks Susan Taylor Real Estate Group for the opportunity to participate in this contest. It was a lot of fun and we had a blast! #LegoHouseSTG #susantaylorremax “
Honourable Mentions

Niro Arumugam: We love the detached garage (sooo Cornellian!) and the pool!
