editor’s note

Despite Harsh Winter, 2014 Real Estate Market Forecast Remains Strong as Predicted Christopher Invidiata Team Leader Sales Representative

With one of Ontario’s worst winters behind us, it’s hard to believe that summer is finally here. While spring seems to have skipped us by and the jury is still out on what kind of summer we are going to have, I am thrilled to report that sunny skies may or may not be ahead but the 2014 Real Estate Market is definitely looking bright right through to year’s end. The exceptionally tough winter across all of Canada had some analysts rethinking their 2014 predictions, says the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). While home sales began to trend higher heading into the spring, it was still a slow start to the first quarter of the year. Thankfully, CREA predicts that the second half of 2014 will pick up supported by Canadian economic growth, immigration, low unemployment rates and lower mortgage rates. According to The Oakville, Milton and District Real Estate Board (OMDREB), April is the month when things started to shift for the better in our neck of the woods, with the dollar volume of all property sales processed through MLS® increasing by 17.4 per cent compared to the same time the year before. And Oakville’s median sale price for the month of April increased by 17.6 per cent compared to April 2013. With total sales forecast to increase by 1.3 per cent from 2013, I predict that the Milton and Oakville marketplace, indeed across the GTA, will continue to be competitive with a balance between supply and demand that will benefit buyers and sellers alike. It just goes to show that not even snow and ice can keep our Real Estate Market from staging a healthy comeback. Here’s to a sunny and warm summer and another strong year in Real Estate!

Empowering the

Next Generation By Carly Romano, [free-them]

It is the youth of today that will make the change of tomorrow. Without engaging them on social issues and empowering them to make independent decisions, positive change for the future would not exist. Keeping children informed about the world is essential to engaging their interest in social issues. [free-them] understands this and actively works with youth to raise awareness and encourage their participation. Considering that the average age of entry into forced prostitution in Canada is 14, human trafficking is a problem that most often begins in childhood. As children are the targets of this crime, their voices need to be heard before real solutions can be made. Why do children fall prey to traffickers? What insecurities do traffickers prey upon? How can adults empower children to overcome these insecurities? [free-them] creates a dialogue with students across Toronto to address these questions.

Currently, the largest hurdle to empowering youth is awareness. Parents might want to shield their children from the reality of sex slavery in order to preserve their innocence. A parentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s job is to protect their children from the dangers of the world until they are old enough to protect themselves. It is understandable that parents might view educating their children about human trafficking as incongruous with this job, but in actuality, this could not be further from the truth. Education is the best defence against traffickers and pimps.

As children are the targets of this crime, Despite their best efforts, parents are unable to protect their children their voices need from every possible danger. All parents can do is educate their to be heard children and prepare them for the realities of the world. With the before real proper education, a child can be very resilient to the dangers that solutions can surround them and feel accomplished for independently managing their safety. be made.

[free-them] gives youth the education they need to recognize a dangerous situation. How does a trafficker behave? How can a child recognize the signs before the INVIDIATA THE COLLECTION

situation becomes dangerous? Shae Invidiata, founder of [free-them], speaks to 800-1500 high school and university students a year. Not only is [free-them] broaching the topic and raising awareness among youth, they are also presenting youth with the human rights issue of their generation. [free-them] encourages all students to be involved in the discussion and take action however they can as the next generation of decision makers. Often, the voices of youth are ignored due to their perceived naivety. However, youth have an advantage in that their hopes and ideas for the future are unmarred by adult cynicism. Without the constraints of accepted rules and limited resources, youth are free to think beyond the limits adults tend to impose. When we stop convincing ourselves that a goal is impossible to achieve, the possibilities are endless. Whether the youth of today are spreading awareness, raising funds, or coming up with a simple idea that could change the landscape of abolitionism forever, the next generation will play a key role in abolishing human trafficking. Interested in engaging your child on this issue? Join us on September 27, 2014 for the 5th Annual Freedom Walk presented by the Fairmont Royal York. We need everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s support as we walk for freedom.

real estate minute First Quarter Sales Figures Show Real Estate Market Is On The Right Track

By Christopher Invidiata

When the Oakville, Milton and District Real Estate Board (OMDREB) released the stats for April 2014 they confirmed what us market watchers had predicted – that sales volume and sale prices would increase from the year before, and they did albeit slowly. While slow and steady wins the race, I feel confident the pendulum will swing in favour of a strong and very active market for the last three quarters of the year, especially in the GTA condo sector and single detached dwelling market in the 905. So what do the numbers tell us? According to OMDREB, the number of all property sales in our area increased by 3.2 per cent. The dollar volume of all property sales increased in April 2014 to $514,432,312, an increase of 17.4 per cent over the year before. Oakville’s median sale price for the month of April saw an increase of 17.6 per cent compared to April 2013. The median sale price in Milton increased 5.6 per cent compared to the same time last year. In Burlington, the 2014 year-to-date first quarter average sale price was $555,531. In Milton, the average sale price was $474,186. Mississauga had an average sale price of $713,803, and in Oakville the average price was $804,332. In Oakville and Milton alone, the total volume of sales in the first quarter reached in excess of $7.6 million. The Toronto Real Estate Board reported a 1.8 per cent year-over-year increase in sales, supported in part by

All property sales increased in April 2014 to $514,432,312, an increase of 17.4 per cent over the year before.

condominium buyers. In fact, the number of condo sales went up nine per cent in April compared to the year before. In May, many media outlets began reporting that Toronto will soon be the second Canadian city where the average price of a detached home will hit $1-million. That’s good news for those looking to buy or sell property outside of Toronto, as they should do exceptionally well in our more affordable and highly desirable market. We’re on the right track.

Dressing up... your windows homes from $2,000,000 - $5,000,000

The difference between run-of-the-mill and stunning is in the details.

Window treatments are like a finishing touch to any room. Attention to the details will impact the overall impression of a room and avert disappointments. Here are a few suggestions to keep in mind while making your decisions:

The right window treatment can perform a practical purpose as well as enhance the aesthetic appeal of a room.

Begin the process by considering the best product for privacy and sun control.

Assess the room’s light exposure to determine fabric for style and function and select the appropriate type of lining for the fabric choice. Choosing the right lining is critical to the life of the fabric. Good quality sun-block lining helps avoid sun bleed and keeps the fabric true to its color once the sun is shining on it.

Accentuating with beautiful drapery hardware is like jewelery for your windows!

Motorized tracks are fabulous especially in homes with a large number of windows and windows that are very tall.

Roman blinds are ever popular and can be made with a myriad of details to make them distinguished looking – everything from a casual or more formal application.

Do not be afraid of prints! They enliven a space and can give you a great jumping off point for your color scheme.

For a fuller appearance line your silk curtain panels with a flannel interlining or cashmere lining which is lighter and offers a sleeker look.

Choosing the right kind of heading detail is an important choice – whether a traditional French pleat or an inverted contemporary pleat – the style should complement the aesthetic of a space.

Common mistakes are: a) hanging drapes too low and therefore making the window appear smaller, and b) hanging the panels too far into the window and blocking the glass (correct installation is on the outer edge of the frame to give the illusion of a wider window 54 and to allow as much light into the space as possible).

Marques

d’Elegance By Chad Eusepi

When it comes to world-renowned automotive events, it seems as though people forget that Canada even exists. Let’s face it though, being Canadian, I don’t blame the world for assuming that we don’t go big with cars. During the summer months, we need to make the best of it! So here’s something even most Canadians don’t know. Every year, a man named Felice Cappellano sets up a number of events that are comparable to the Concours d’Elegance in Pebble Beach. The only major differences being the physical location. Marques d’Elegance, which is held in Burlington, Ontario, Canada – attracting people from all of North America. Marques d’Elegance is the main event but there are a number of other functions including 1st Annual Sunset Pursuit Track Day at Canadian Tire Motorsport Park, 2nd Annual Evening of Luxury by the Pier Presented by Mercedes-Benz Burlington, 1st Annual Lexus of Oakville VIP Performance Paddock by the Pier, 2nd Annual Street Fest, and 2nd Annual Ferraris Take Flight Gala.

I sat down with Felice to discuss his career, and the ideas behind the Marques d’Elegance. Trust me, if you’re an exotic/ classic car owner, or simply just a car guy like me… you’ll want to find a way to attend. What is the Marques d’Elegance? To understand the meaning behind it, you really need to hear about it from the beginning. I’ve always been a car guy, and I’ve collected many muscle cars… I was a big Corvette fanatic. Though my passion was always for exotic cars – I dreamed as a boy of having a Ferrari and I waited for a length of time to finally have my own. Initially I owned a few Corvettes, then I traded those in for my Ferrari, and that’s when I got involved in that particular world. During those years of collecting cars as a hobby and being an enthusiast, I attended a lot of events… anything from Corvettes at Carlisle, to more exclusive events like Cavallino. What I quickly realized after I bought an exotic, was that the guys that owned exotic cars loved to drive them, unlike muscle car guys who go to different places, set up lawn chairs and stare at their car. Felice Cappellano, with the support of his wife Cheryl, created an event that allows everyone to share their interests, give back to the community and enjoy a beautiful environment involving exotic automotive brands.

INVIDIATA THE COLLECTION

I dreamed as a boy of having a Ferrari and I waited for a length of time to finally have my own. I had connected with some guys that had started discussing why there isn’t an event in Canada that’s like Pebble Beach or Monterey. They threw the idea out on the internet – a bunch of guys responded with: “Hey, you know, I’d bring my car to that”. The first year the event was at a conservation area, 200 cars showed up and because of that we were able to raise… $20,000.00 for children’s charities. The following year, I saw the event being bigger… trying to emulate Cavallino. I knew I needed some specifics; for location the common factor is that they we’re all set on a waterfront, around mansions and so on. Living in Burlington, I knew of one place – Paletta Mansion. It’s a time for exotic car owners to come out and have fun with their cars, and give back to their community. Not just for the ‘boys’ - if you noticed there are fashion shows, jewelry vendors, wine, music and so on. I want to say that this event would not have been possible without the support from my wife Cheryl. She came into my office three years ago, closed my door and said: “You need to step away from your career here, and concentrate on this… if you want to do something great, then go do it. I support you 100% of the way.” Was there a time where you felt like giving up on your aspirations to have this event be successful? There’s always some moment where you find yourself wondering “What am I doing this for?”. Lots of stress, but it’s all worth it because… well it’s pure FUN. What drives you to continue this event every year? The love of the brand, the cars, and the thought that we’re doing something great for our community. “Okay, I’ve had success, life is good… now let’s give back.” At the end of the day, that’s really what we’re all about.

SUMMER 2014

Do you think that the event will grow as the years go by? Oh yeah. I mean we went from a simple afternoon and 2 years later we’ve grown to be a full feature three day event… for 2014 it’s going to be a four day event since we’ve added a track element. How do you determine or evaluate success? Good health, a great partnership with your loved one… but number one would have to be your family – family drives everything. What qualities do you respect and value in the people you work with? Honesty, right off the hop… integrity, reliability. Talk the talk, walk the walk… What kind of experience, paid or unpaid, would you encourage for someone pursuing a career into their field of choice? Volunteering. It’s important to take time out to give to others. If you could have one car, no matter the situation, what would it be? I don’t know haha… the one thing I do know is that it would be a Ferrari, if you haven’t noticed I’m a huge Ferrari fan. I’d love to have the 2002 F1 car that Michael Schumacher drove to the world championship… perhaps even Niki Lauda’s F1 car. Needless to say, Felice has managed to put together an event that brings people together for a good cause, allows for everyone to share their interests, and bask in a beautiful automotive environment.

Choosing NEW Windows & Doors? By Nneka Onwualu

Oakville’s Cheney Window & Door Specialists want you to think quality and longevity first.

SUMMER 2014

If there’s one thing Tom Cheney of Cheney Window & Door Specialists wants you to consider first when selecting new windows and doors it’s this: quality is key. Unfortunately, in this day and age of price conscious mass consumerism, quality is sometimes sacrificed in pursuit of that great deal. Cheney has dedicated the last 27 years to ensuring that quality products and superior installation go hand-in-hand in every job he does. Since starting his company in 1987, after working several years in the manufacturing and retail side of the business, Cheney has seen how letting price dictate decision-making has negatively affected the housing market, especially in the last five to 10 years. “After the residential building boom of the late ‘80s and ‘90s, we were having to replace windows that should have lasted 30 or 40 years,” Cheney explains. “With the proliferation of the ‘do it yourself’ concept where specialty skills and expertise were downplayed by 73

the big-box effect, consumers were focused only on getting inexpensive products whose quality was questionable. As a result, home owners were needing to replace products way sooner than they should have.”

Choose quality before price if you want your windows and doors to last.

That’s why Cheney says buyer beware, even buyers who think buying a newly constructed home means they won’t have any problems. “I’ve worked in the construction business for over 30 years and have seen many changes. There have been some amazing advancements in quality but with the advent of discount suppliers and large-scale construction, even a brand new home that you assume will need no maintenance is no longer the case. Products are in need of replacement much sooner.” There are several factors that can cause your windows and doors to need replacing. “From hardware or glass failure to poor installation and condensation issues, these can all mean you need new windows and doors,” says Cheney. According to Cheney, new windows and doors should last 35 to 40 years, but will only do so if customers remember the golden rule of choosing windows and doors: choose quality before price if you want your windows and doors to last. “Quality of product means longevity,” says Cheney, adding, “The foundation of our business is built on this principle. It’s why the starting point of our products is at the mid to high end. We only offer products that are going to last and that, of course, look beautiful.” With a portfolio of windows and doors from top names such as Andersen, Eagle and Euro Vinyl, Cheney offers a wide range of products that can be

customized according to your design. “Our experts work with home owners, architects and custom home builders across the GTA, helping them choose the right product for their needs.” While quality and longevity are the main focus, Cheney is also conscious of his clients’ budgets, modern and contemporary tastes and their need to be green. “Today’s building codes have set energy standards such that consumers don’t need to worry about energy performance – even some of the less expensive products meet the standards. What we want homeowners to understand is that energy ratings do not set the quality. It’s why we spend as much time as needed to educate our clients about choosing a quality product that will stand the test of time.” Cheney’s business is split between the custom new home and replacement window markets, but whether working in one sector or the other, Cheney loves to collaborate with his clients. “Our wide array of high quality product offerings that meet different pricing needs without compromising on quality allows us to spend time looking at the architectural design of the home, helping clients make the most informed decision.”

Anthony DiCenzo & Edgewater Estates:

Getting It Right On Lakeshore Road West

A lesser man, having surveyed the gentle contours that surround Oakville’s Lambert-Smye heritage estate, might have said “Develop this site? Forget about it.” Tucked away off Lakeshore Road West, with extensive frontage along Lake Ontario’s north shore, this alluring site was ripe for the right idea. Moreover, it needed the right man who could see and realize it’s incredible potential. That man was Anthony DiCenzo. “This site, and that heritage house, should be the setting for a remarkable enclave of estate homes. Let’s figure out how to do that,” he remembers thinking.

“We all agreed the site had amazing possibilities,” says Molinaro Group President Vince Molinaro. “A big advantage we had was that Anthony lived right next door to the site and knew the landscape. We knew he’d lead the way to make this happen.”

developments in and around Oakville, and his commitment to the highest standards of design and construction combine to make him an ideal next-door neighbour. “I enjoy developing close to where I live, and walking each site every weekend. I feel a deep sense of pride and satisfaction to know that I contributed greatly to building this community.” Edgewater Estates will range from approximately 3,500 to 5,000 square feet, with both three and four bedroom plans available. Buyers can choose from one of five masterful designs, work with DiCenzo’s team of award-winning architects to develop their own custom design, or purchase a vacant lot on which they can design and build their own home. All construction is subject to architectural controls. Lot frontages range from 100 - 145 ft. and depths of up to 215 ft. Two of the lots offer the rare opportunity to build on over 120 ft. of direct lake frontage, while others offer incredible unobstructed views of Lake Ontario.

It has been faithfully restored and stands at the highest point of the development. “The fifteen estate lots that surround the home have been arranged to highlight the charm, character and historical significance of the estate and the land,” he says. Committed to preserving the natural habitat along Lakeshore Road West and maintaining easy access to the lake, the neighbourhood’s tree-lined promenade and beach front access, along with new walking trails, are part of neighbourhood design that seamlessly embraces the natural setting and the commanding architecture that will share this rare setting. From vision to reality, Edgewater represents the pinnacle of elegant living along the rugged, beautiful shores of Lake Ontario.

the best of the

By Nneka Onwualu

CL 100

INVIDIATA THE COLLECTION

Ferretti Group America offers the most prestigious yacht brands for those looking to escape the hectic pace of everyday life If you ask James Henderson to name his favorite yacht it would be like asking him to name his favorite child. As the President and CEO of Ferretti Group America, the iconic leader behind some of the world’s most prestigious yacht brands, Henderson describes the company’s portfolio of yachts with such exquisite detail and admiration you’d think each yacht were one of his own. And while he freely admits to being partial to either the Riva 44 or 52 – “I like the feeling of being able to navigate the yacht myself” – Henderson lists off the specs of each and every brand Ferretti has to offer without the slightest hint of favoritism.

SUMMER 2014

Such awe and respect for the company and its brands is easy to understand – the Ferretti Group are, after all, responsible for designing and building the most beautiful and innovative yachts for buyers across the globe. The story behind the company is a rich one, starting in 1968 with two brothers from Italy. “Alessandro and Norberto Ferretti started out building small pleasure yachts,” Henderson tells of the company’s earliest days. “By the late 1990s, after going through some restructuring and financing, the Ferretti Group was formed, allowing us to acquire a portfolio of what we consider to be the best yacht brands in the world today.”

As impressive as the company’s portfolio of brands is, it’s the philosophy of passion, innovation and excellence instilled in the company by the Ferretti brothers that continues to guide the Ferretti Group today. “Our founders spent a great deal of time on yachts studying their functionality,” Henderson explains. “For Norberto Ferretti in particular, everything came down to functionality and performance, sleek European lines and purposeful layouts.” With seven brands represented in their portfolio, the company’s namesake brands include Ferretti Yachts, Ferretti Custom Line and Ferretti Navetta. “Ferretti Yachts are fiberglass flybridge pleasure yachts ranging from 53 to 96 ft., the Ferretti Custom Line offers fiberglass yachts from 100 to 124 ft., and Ferretti Navetta represents the distance cruising line,” describes Henderson, adding, “These yachts all INVIDIATA THE COLLECTION

are finely tuned cruising machines whose layout, utilization of space, high end materials, and high level of finishes are matched by exceptional quality, safety and performance.” The other brands that fall under the Ferretti Group’s portfolio are Pershing, Riva, Bertram, Itama and Mochi Craft. “Pershing is all about speed and innovation with yachts that range from 50 ft. up to 115 ft. and speeds of up to 55 knots/60 miles an hour,” says Henderson. “Rivas are like the Rolls Royces or Bentleys of the sea. They range from 27 to 122 ft. in length and are extremely popular with celebrities because they have such a classical European aesthetic. The brand has become famous because of owners like Brigitte Bardot and Sophia Loren, to name a few.” SUMMER 2014

High level of finishes are matched by exceptional quality, safety and performance. 109

Behind the Ferretti Group is a team of architects and designers who work in special research and development departments. Bertram, the sport-fishing brand founded by the legendary Richard Bertram, includes sport-fish yachts measuring from 54 up to 80 ft. in length and reaching top speeds of up to 46 knots. Itama open yachts range from 45 to 75 ft. and are capable of reaching speeds between 34 and 50 knots. Mochi Craft are lobster style luxury yachts designed from 44 up to 74 ft. in length while CRN specializes in the construction of fully customized mega-yachts in steel and aluminum. “We build yachts from 27 to 100 ft. with specific layouts where you can choose your options – finishes, cabin 110

layout etc., but when you go over 100 ft., that’s when you have more flexibility of design, more customization,” Henderson explains. “The CRN brand made of steel and aluminum offers some series designs up to 80 meters.” Behind the Ferretti Group is a team of architects and designers who work in special research and development departments, including the company’s own Advanced Yacht Technology & Design (AYT&D) center. Committed to working with only the most talented and innovative minds, the Group announced last year that Piero Ferrari, an engineer and Deputy Chairman of Ferrari S.p.A., had INVIDIATA THE COLLECTION

joined their new Product Strategy Team, bringing years of experience in the development of innovative luxury products to the Group. “We have eight different production facilities in Italy, North America and Latin America,” adds Henderson who says this allows the company to control every element – from design to architecture to engineering to building. “Our designers and tech team of 80-90 engineers keep us focused on cutting edge technology, functionality, space utilization and design.” With a global sales and distribution network of dealers throughout North America including Miami Beach, Naples, New York, California, and Montreal, the Group’s flagship showroom is based in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, a facility Henderson describes as a “one-stop shop” where buyers can see a bit of everything. “In Fort Lauderdale we have a 45,000 sq.ft. state-of-the-art covered retail marina with 25 ft. ceilings. The facility is able to house over 20 models meaning buyers can take advantage of seeing our inventory up close.” SUMMER 2014

With such an impressive line up of yacht styles to choose from, each brand tends to appeal to a different buyer at each phase of their life. The person who buys a Ferretti is looking for functionality and space. They want to navigate and cruise, spend time in the Bahamas or the Caribbean. Some may spend weeks at a time on the yacht, living onboard with their family as they travel at their leisure. For those interested in stylish finishes and high-end materials, Riva is the natural choice. They buy Riva because they see it as a piece of art,” says Henderson. “People who buy Pershing value performance, speed and design. Pershing buyers typically are the type who fly their own airplane or jet and drive fast sports cars Pershing is like the Ferrari of the sea – a big, beautiful, fabulous toy.” By the time you reach a certain level of success, that’s when buyers turn to CRN. CRNsare about entertaining, cruising the Mediterranean in the summer, the Caribbean in the winter, taking on charters,” Henderson says, likening

the yacht to a condo on the sea. “This is what makes our portfolio of brands so exciting. No matter what buyers are looking for, with our brand selection we can pretty much appeal to any type of buyer and satisfy whatever they are looking for.” This translates into being able to cater to any yacht lover from anywhere in the world. And in Canada, Henderson says the luxury yacht market is strong and growing. “A lot of our clients have homes in Toronto and in Florida or they spend summers in Muskoka. These buyers typically have a Riva to enjoy in Canada and then have a motor yacht that they keep in Florida to take them to the Bahamans and Caribbean.” Regardless of where they live on the map, owning a yacht gives people access to a lifestyle and an opportunity to spend time with friends and family in a very private environment, which is why yachting has such a universal appeal. “Yachting is one of the most relaxing things you can do. It also gives you a certain

Passion, Innovation, Excellence: The Feretti Yacht 960 The Ferretti Yacht 960 is the largest pleasure boat ever built by Ferretti Group. With 96 ft. of length overall, it can be managed as a pleasure boat, even without a professional captain. Ferretti Yachts 960 is the first yacht of the brand with the owner cabin located on the main deck and four VIP cabins on the lower deck each equipped with its own en-suite facility, enormous glazing for natural light and portholes for ventilation. The vessel offers three crew cabins of which one is exclusively for the captain as well as a separate access to the crew quarters directly from the galley. The flybridge at the stern area are entirely devoted to leisure. The submersible garage door is fitted with cushions, while the bathing platform can be immersed in the water to allow for the launching of the tender in just a matter of minutes from the floodable garage without the need of a davit: a system which has set the benchmark in
