EDITOR’S NOTE

THE BEAUTY OF CONDO LIVING

MARLENE EISNER EMAIL: Marlene.Eisner@Nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

I live in a sweet 450-sq.-ft. condo. It’s the perfect size for one person, easy to keep clean, and made bright and airy by a huge picture window in the bedroom. For me, the beauty of condo living are my neighbours in this great little community and all the amenities I have access to right outside my door.

Two floors down from my suite is a great library with wifi, comfortable chairs and tables, and fully-stocked shelves of donated books. It’s all catalogued, organized and maintained by resident volunteers. There is also a gorgeous fourth-floor terrace with gardens, barbecues and picnic tables. On the main level is a beautifully appointed party room with entertaining kitchen, an equipped gym, yoga studio... there’s more, but I think you get the picture.

Condo-living is not for everyone, but it is becoming the home of choice for many, from single professionals and young couples, to families and downsizers. In this issue, we have lots of information to help you in your new-home search, regardless of what kind of home you are looking for.

On page 26, executive director of MLA Canada, Cameron McNeill, discusses the evolution of wood; industry insider Scott Brown, on page 64, writes about the value of timing when buying a home; and on page 68, you can read about gardening in condos and on balconies.

If there’s something you want us to write about, send us an email and in the meantime, we hope you enjoy this issue of New Home + Condo Guide.

Once the first capital of British Columbia, New Westminster’s spot on the Fraser River is what makes it both idyllic and practical — for the founders in the 1800s as well as its residents today. Stone, brick, and timber storefronts on its streets pay homage to downtown New Westminster’s origin as the first centre of commerce and public administration. Today, this vibrant city finds itself at the geographic centre of Metro Vancouver. New West’s downtown core offers all the conveniences of urban living, including two Skytrain stations, a mix of unique and independent retailers and services, cafes, and more. At the cusp of this setting is Ovation, a collection of condominium homes built in a stunning architectural tower overlooking the Fraser River and cityscape.

From your home at Ovation, you can stroll the 2.5 kilometres of waterfront boardwalk, hop on a Skytrain (New Westminster station is right across the street) and reach downtown Vancouver in 25 minutes.

Enjoy everything this

central location has to offer in one of the most distinctive and desirable communities in the Lower Mainland. Shop at the River Market, stroll up Columbia Street and take in shopping and dining possibilities or explore nearby parks and nature areas.

Inside and out, Ovation amazes with sleek modern finishes and forms that capture the imagination. The rooftop Stage 8 Sky Club on the tower’s 32nd floor offers residents panoramic views of the city, river, and mountains and access to a comprehensive fitness zone and multi-purpose room. An entertainment lounge equipped with a pool table and screens allow you to watch the big game with your friends. A chef’s kitchen and open-concept dining area give you ample space for entertaining, while the firepit and barbecue stations draw you outside for summer dining. Play bocce or croquet on the green outside, or relax in a hot tub with spectacular vistas surrounded by lush landscaping.

Inside your suite, enjoy wide plank laminate flooring and expansive windows that pull in abundant natural light. All

homes offer gourmet kitchens and spacious balconies that suit both parties with friends and intimate dinners in. These one-, two-, and three-bedroom suites feature white quartz waterfall countertops, white and marble porcelain backsplashes, thoughtfully-placed cabinetry and storage, and a high-end appliance package that integrates into the background. Clean, elegant bathrooms boast sleek countertops and fixtures that complement the rest of the home, creating a seamless backdrop.

Designed for the modern homeowner, every corner of your life is an opportunity to experience the luxury of convenience. From when you pick up your parcel from the concierge in the lobby, to the moment you enter your front door, you’ll love coming home to Ovation.

The Ovation Presentation Centre is open at 1001 Columbia Street in New Westminster. For more information about living at Ovation, contact the sales team by email at info@OvationNewWest. com, call in to 604.553.8004, or register at OvationNewWest.com. nexthome.ca

WORKING FROM HOME IN STYLE

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

New Home + Condo Guide |

Apr. 20–May 4, 2019

Whether you call it working from home, telecommuting or simply freelancing, it’s the way many people make a living these days. Regardless of how it’s referred to, does it have to mean an ugly office chair in the guest room, a dining table covered with papers, or a sore back as a result of working from the couch in sweatpants while petting a cat, eating dry cereal and catching up on Coronation Street?

The WorkHub at MODE

No wonder telecommuters have colonized every Starbucks in town. An excuse to have a shower, put on real pants and verbally interact is recommended for the home worker to keep up reasonable levels of sanity and hygiene.

Co-working companies have sprung up everywhere over the last few years to take care of this need, and to provide critical chances for interaction with other human beings, as well as technological and practical office needs such as the Internet, printers and meeting rooms.

But there are other alternatives, too. What if you could live in a condo with an amenity that builds community, creates value for residents, and provides people with a place to work remotely, but not too remotely? Some savvy developers have done just that. Wesgroup’s MODE in Vancouver, Keltic Canada’s Paramount in Richmond and Concord Pacific’s Park George Towers in Surrey have all picked up on the trend and included co-working spaces in its plans.

“The amenity spaces at MODE have been thoughtfully created to cater to the modern homebuyer,” explains Wesgroup’s Brad Jones. “For example, because so many people work from home nowadays, but don’t want to host meetings in their living rooms or kitchens, we created WorkHub. This professional co-working space offers residents two private boardrooms, work booths and more to host meetings and connect with clients or colleagues just steps from their home.”

At Park George Towers, the 5,000-sq.-ft. Campus Work Lounge is part of the amenities package and includes everything for a day at the office. The coworking space has alcove working pods, lounges for collaborating, a video conference room to conduct remote meetings and a semi-private meeting room, all with WiFi. The Paramount offers residents a full business centre, along with other high-end amenities like a whiskey and wine tasting bar and screening room.

While working remotely, freelancing and being a small business owner all have the advantage of being flexible, one of the downfalls of not going to an office every day is feeling isolated. Co-working spaces give people the opportunity to meet their neighbours and get work done in a professional environment. You can chat about the new season of Game of Thrones around the water cooler, have an excuse to put on presentable clothing, and be inspired to do your best work. But because the space is in your building a few floors down from your home, you could probably even get away with sporting your bunny slippers if you wanted to. nexthome.ca

THE EVOLUTION OF WOOD

Court by Heinrichs Development

CAMERON MCNEILL

Pre-sale projects in the Lower Mainland released in March saw a slight increase in sales activity and traffic in presentation centres with the arrival of the spring market. We are expecting a number of woodframe projects to open for sales over the next month, giving buyers a more affordable option over concrete homes.

The provincial government’s recent announcement of the B.C. building code’s increase in height limits for the construction of wood buildings from six storeys to 12 storeys has shed light on the opportunities ahead for mass timber producers and residential developers. In addition, there is a 26

regionally driven renewal of B.C.’s interior forest industry, targetted to bring a competitive price against the rising cost of concrete, which is up 67 per cent since 2014, according to the 2019 MLA Market Intel Report.

The appeal of building with mass timber for developers goes beyond its cost-efficient benefits.

Wood-constructed buildings are not only environmentally sustainable and fire resistant, but also quieter and of higher quality than ever before, thanks to innovations over the years.

Building with new engineered wood products such as crosslaminated timber (CLT, reduces construction timelines due to the nature of prefabrication and dry materials. The aesthetic beauty of wood, along with its versatility and strength, have made it a desirable product for the residential

construction industry, the economy and more importantly, the homebuyer.

As we welcome close to 50,000 new residents per year who will make B.C. their home, affordability, paired with quality construction, will continue to be critical and new wood-frame projects are filling much-needed gaps in the market.

Partnering with residential developers, MLA Canada offers an unmatched level of expertise in advisory services, market intelligence, project marketing, sales, customer care and administration.

FEDERAL PROGRAM TO HELP FIRST-TIME HOMEBUYERS

NEW HOMES GET EXTRA INCENTIVE

The federal government’s new 2019 budget may give new-home buyers a shot in the arm toward purchasing their first home; even more if they buy a newly constructed one. The proposed First-Time Home Buyer Incentive program would give eligible first-time homebuyers the opportunity to share a part of the cost of buying a home with the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC); five per cent for resale homes, 10 per cent for new builds.

This would reduce the size of a new homebuyer’s insured mortgage.

The program is expected to benefit approximately 100,000 first-time buyers over the next three years.

No on-going payments would be required with the Incentive, and families would have lower monthly mortgage payments. For example, if a borrower purchases a newly constructed $400,000 home with a five per cent down payment and a 10 per cent CMHC shared equity mortgage ($40,000), the borrower’s total mortgage size would be reduced from $380,000 to $340,000, reducing the borrower’s monthly mortgage costs by as much as $228 per month. Terms and conditions for the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive will be released by CMHC. 40

New Home + Condo Guide |

Apr. 20–May 4, 2019

To make sure the program helps those with legitimate needs, the Incentive would have specific eligibility criteria, as well as guidelines to ensure participants are able to afford the homes they purchase. To qualify, first-time homebuyers must have household incomes under $120,000 per year, plus participants’ insured mortgage and the Incentive amount cannot be greater than four times the participants’ annual household incomes.

HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

Ŕ The CMHC would provide five per cent of the value of a home for a first-time homebuyer through a shared investment. Ŕ This shared investment would be increased to 10 per cent for a newly built home. This step is to encourage the construction of new housing supply. Ŕ The budget also proposes to increase the Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawal limit from a Registered Retirement Savings Plan to $35,000 from the current allowable amount of $25,000, providing first-time homebuyers with greater access to their RRSP savings to buy a home.

EDGEMONT WALK EXCEPTIONAL BY DESIGN It’s official. Locals and visitors alike have fallen in love with Edgemont Village. This charming, North Vancouver neighbourhood is a place where you can walk to everything and where you’ll still find a village butcher, baker and even a candlestick maker… and they know all their regular customers by name.

So it’s no wonder Edgemont Walk has been wowing a diverse range of homebuyers who love the mountain setting, sense of community, and easy access to urban hubs. Whether you’re a growing family or a rightsizer looking for lock’ n’ go convenience, Edgemont Walk fits the bill.

Best of all, remaining homes are ready for immediate occupancy, so you can actually walk through and experience the one that’s your 44

perfect match. Then just pack your things and call the movers.

YOUR FOREVER HOME AWAITS

“We designed Edgemont Walk to be larger than you typically find in townhome living — 1,800 to 2,500 sq. ft.,” says Marissa Evans, Boffo Properties’ marketing director.

“We’ve also included features like extra large kitchens with Wolf/ Sub-Zero appliance package, master suites that are located on the top floor so they’re completely private, and patios off the main living level make these homes live just like a single-family home.”

And here’s a forward-thinking feature you simply don’t find outside custom-built residences.

Three of the 24 homes include a personal elevator. “Every home has it’s own two-car, secure garage within the underground

parkade,” explains Evans. “And by designing some of these homes with elevator access to all three living levels above, it means people who want to age in place in the neighbourhood where they’ve lived for many years now have the option of doing that.” Plus for young families with active kids, it makes getting sports gear or groceries upstairs a snap.

Edgemont Walk presentation centre and display homes are open at 1133 Ridgewood Drive (at the intersection with Edgemont Blvd) in North Vancouver, noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays.

Prices for these three-bedroom homes start at $1.4 million: Elevator homes start at $1.59 million. For more information visit edgemontwalk.ca or call 604.880.0441.

ALTUS GROUP MARKET 2019 FORECAST DEMAND FOR HOUSING STILL STRONG

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

The Urban Development Institute (UDI) at its April 3 breakfast event welcomed speakers Jason Lo and Matthew Boukal from Altus Group.

Altus provides advisory services and data solutions to the global real estate industry. Backed by data culled from 2016 to 2018, Lo and Boukal spoke about the current Canadian market, and the forecast for 2019.

“The recipe for success is a combination of getting approvals in a timely way, and it is also about transit infrastructure, because people do really care about their commute,” said Boukal. Affordability should be tackled in “a meaningful way,” and one of the main things to take into consideration in terms of the Vancouver market downturn, is that 2016 was a record-breaking year. The last two years of relative decline is actually a normal reaction to the government’s intervention to cool what it perceived as an overheated market.

“Government policies and interest rates are influencing demand, and the cost of land makes building affordability a challenge. This is definitely not being helped by the long development approval times.”

Boukal pointed out that in spite of the challenges, buyers “have shown great resilience in the face of government interventions, such as the mortgage stress test, and sales levels seem to be rebounding 48

Matthew Boukal talks about housing market trends.

after the implementation of the policies quite quickly.”

In Greater Vancouver, higher inventories and slower demand have led to modest price decreases, but the demand for housing is still there.

So far in 2019, housing starts in Greater Vancouver are stable, but not growing. Nonetheless, Boukal said there are still opportunities in this market, “especially for investors and people who have equity already and would like to move up.”

Although Vancouver is expensive, its great climate, beautiful surroundings and

connections to Asia and global markets make it attractive.

Transit development planned around an expanded regional Skytrain system are providing more potential for continued development.

“The good news for developers is that people still want to buy homes here,” said Boukal. The demand is up to 11 per cent who want to buy now, from the 10 per cent of people last year who were planning to buy in the winter of 2018.

“If the city picks up the approvals process, there will even be homes available to buy.”

HILLCREST CELEBRATING HOME AND COMMUNITY This is it, your final opportunity to purchase a brand new, single-family home at Hillcrest in Surrey’s vibrant Sullivan Ridge neighbourhood. And with only 10 homes remaining, you’ll have to hurry.

“This is a fantastic neighbourhood,” says one happy homeowner. “A lot of people don’t realize how convenient Sullivan Ridge is to everything.

You’ve got both an elementary and a secondary school across the street. The Bell Centre for the Performing Arts is a short walk, plus there’s the YMCA, a great selection of boutique retail and an excellent brew pub only a few blocks away.”

Clinching the deal for his family was Hillcrest’s proximity to transit, transportation corridors and South Surrey. “I travel a lot, so being close to the highways and 50

bridges is important. I can get to YVR or the US border in under half an hour, and for shopping, we find we now go to South Surrey and White Rock more often than to Langley.”

VALUE TO COUNT ON

“These executive homes are built by Surrey-based Marathon Homes and offer the best value for the price anywhere in Metro Vancouver,” says Chris Stylianou, sales manager. “You just won’t find better prices or better construction in any other new developments. Plus, there’s a legal secondary suite included in every home that could be used as a mortgage helper.”

SOPHISTICATED STYLE

Hillcrest’s architecture is distinctly eye-catching and contemporary, something that appeals to sophisticated, modern families. Floorplans for these fiveand six-bedroom homes range up to 4,100-sq.-ft., and many include the convenience of two master bedrooms, each with its own ensuite.

Kitchens are ready to satisfy the most enthusiastic chef and have quartz counters, pot drawers, walk-in pantry, and stainless-steel appliances including chimney hood-fan. Naturally, there’s plenty of space to pull up a barstool and chat with cooks at work from the comfort of the casual eating bar.

Hillcrest’s model home at 6119 – 146th Street in Surrey is open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays. Prices start at $1.19 million with GST included. For more information, visit HillcrestByMarathon.ca or call 778.565.7768.

ADVICE | 10 MINUTES WITH

WADING THROUGH TODAY’S SOFT REAL ESTATE MARKET

by STEPHANIE MACDONALD

NextHome New Home + Condo Guide sat down with mortgage specialist Alisa Aragon to hear her views on today’s real estate market.

New Home + Condo Guide: We’ve been hearing how the real estate market is depressed, but is the news all doom and gloom?

Alisa Aragon: Well, we just have

to deal with whatever comes our way, don’t we? The Bank of Canada acknowledged that the slowdown in the economy was a bit more than they expected, and that the new “stress test” has had the effect of softening the real estate market, so they decided to not raise the interest rate. That’s one thing. This is still a buyers’ market, and I have seen a lot of my clients taking this opportunity to move up from a condo to a townhome, or into a house. Sure, you will be selling lower, but you will also be buying at a lower price as well, and most people have built up equity they can use towards their next home.

NHCG: What kind of mortgage makes sense now?

NHCG: What about for first-time

AA: It is going to be different for everyone. I do tell people that the

buyers?

interest rate is not necessarily the most important thing. When I bought my first condo years ago, I signed for the mortgage, got the rate that was advertised, but when I sold the condo to buy a house, I had to pay huge penalties. So, in some cases, the terms of the mortgage are more important than the interest rate.

AA: The new mortgage rules have

definitely made it more difficult for first-time buyers to get into the market. Some people have access to lending from their parents or getting an “early inheritance” to make up a down payment, but that doesn’t change the fact that Vancouver is still very expensive.

52

A few of my clients have chosen to invest in properties in the interior of the province, rent them out, and continue to rent in Vancouver, building equity out of town. With an investment property, you need at least a 20 per cent down payment, but the properties cost a lot less, so it can be an affordable option.

THE CLOVER MODERN LIVING WITHOUT BOUNDARIES Now selling in the heart of Cloverdale, The Clover is an exclusive collection of 18 family-oriented townhomes with rural charm, plus proximity to all the urban amenities today’s modern homebuyers want.

“Cloverdale is still one of Metro Vancouver’s hidden gems,” says Sharon Johal, project manager. “There’s a neat cultural and community vibe, all kinds of mom ’n’ pop retail and restaurants, plus highly respected public and private schools. All this, yet within five to 10 minutes, you can be browsing the big-box shopping found in Surrey and Langley.”

And of course, don’t forget about the famous Cloverdale Fairgrounds and Cloverdale Athletic Fields and the easy access to transit corridors, the US boarder, and YVR.

“With prices starting at $595,900, The Clover are also the most well-priced townhomes in this area of Surrey,” notes Johal.

“And there’s no Property Transfer Tax payable. A lot of people don’t realize that when you purchase a new home that costs less than $750,000, the PTT is waived — another saving that makes the Clover an even better opportunity.”

Inside, these modern farmhouse-style homes boast open-concept living that feels spacious and inviting.

Then there are the many small touches that make big-time differences.

Here are just a few hints: Family rooms with fireplace and window seat, gourmet kitchens with full-height pantries and stainless-steel appliances, nine-ft. ceilings and a powder room on the main floor, and plenty of private outdoor spaces that are perfect for entertaining, barbecuing, or simply enjoying the sunset. Most also offer the convenience of a side-byside, double-car garage. Many include a flex-room that could become a home office, study, artist studio or anything else you can envision.

The Clover’s presentation centre and display home are open at 5954 – 177B Street in Cloverdale, noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays. The Clover will be move-in ready in late summer/ fall 2019. For more information, visit theclovertownhomes.com or call 604.720.7478.

neighbourhood’s charm.

Each residence embraces minimalist design with an open floorplan, featuring high-end Italian finishes and German flooring throughout. The studio units incorporate convertible sofato-Murphy-beds to create a multifunctional living space within a smaller floorplan.

Mercy’s floorplans take full advantage of the available space by minimizing unnecessary partitions and corridors, essential to smaller living spaces. Rooms are kept open and designed around the windows to maximize natural sunlight in key living areas.

The unique exterior façade consists of self-cleaning cladding panels that improve longevity and reduce maintenance requirements for the building, a strong selling point when considering strata maintenance.

Providing new housing choices for changing demographics in an established neighbourhood

is critical to the livelihood of the community. We celebrate Mercy’s contribution to Kitsilano, and wish Kindred Construction Ltd, and all the other Ovation finalist builders, good luck.

News of falling residential resale prices in the past months has certainly gained plenty of traction with the media and consumers alike. Unlike this time last year, the current Metro Vancouver market offers opportunities for buyers

purchase resource materials that will reveal secrets. If you sense my skepticism, you are not wrong. The notion of perfecting timing seems to be a myth to me.

Now, my caution does not mean that timing is not worth considering. That being said, in my experience, decision-making including timing tends to be quite personal. So, timing of real estate purchases warrants a clarification of a prospective buyer’s needs, objectives, and circumstances as well as being informed on the underlying fundamentals such as population growth, local economics, location appreciation, etc., and neighborhood-specific market conditions.

A new home for most of us is a major decision. Therefore, I recommend consumers look deeper and seek diverse perspectives. Let a well-informed consumer opinion that achieves specific lifestyle and/or financial objectives while incorporating risk and how to mitigate it be your timing guide.

to get a good deal on a new home. However, new multi-family home prices appear to be less susceptible to further decreases.

Given the lack of supply overall, one is left to consider how long this current new multi-family market will last.

We are facing a season of uncertainty with respect to pricing. However, this is not a new phenomenon. A little over a year ago, the uncertainty pertained to how much higher prices would go. This made pricing new developments challenging, especially in the face of rising overall construction costs that included added government charges. It also made it challenging for consumers, who feared paying too much, but also feared missing out. This caused them to act quickly given the scarcity of supply.

Today, prospective buyers are left to wonder if the current downward movement in resale pricing and to a lesser degree, in new homes, is a fad or a longer term tend. Prospective buyers are asking themselves - “Is now a good time to buy?” This query prompts further consideration about timing with respect to buying and investing in real estate.

There are a myriad of opinions on the topic of timing. A simple Internet search will reveal countless conflicting views and a number of questionable schemes promising buyers a “foolproof” method for timing their decisions.

Invitations abound for buyers to attend costly seminars and/or to

HAVEN MODERN FARMHOUSE LIVING

LOCATION South Surrey BUILDER Park Ridge Homes

Looking for something different in the market? Perhaps a home with eye-catching, modern farmhouse architecture and a location that’s tucked into a tranquil, South Surrey neighbourhood?

Say ‘hello’ to Haven, an intimate collection of 33 townhomes with a unique personality and charm to spare. But time is running out and less than five homes remain. Now here’s the good news. All remaining homes are move-in ready, so you can be settled in and celebrating summer in your new space.

FRESH NEW LOOK

“Haven is something quite different in the market,” says Cristy Edmonds, project marketer.

“White brick siding, metal shed roofs over the entryway and windows, plus black mullions.

These homes are so cute and

inviting. And because Haven is the only new development in the Elgin neighbourhood, it’s a very rare and exclusive opportunity.”

Inside, Haven is all about modern comfort and high design.

Contemporary finishings like polished quartz counters, nineft. ceilings on the main level, and expansive windows that let sunlight stream in throughout the day add a sophisticated, urban feel. Yet there’s still the warmth of heritage elements like rustic-look laminate flooring, a shiplap feature wall, black matte cabinetry pulls, and an optional floor-to-ceiling white brick fireplace. In other words, these homes just feel good.

Kitchens are thoughtfully planned for people who love to cook and entertain: Stainless-steel appliances including five-burner gas range, convection oven, French

GET GROWING THIS SPRING CONSIDER AN URBAN GARDEN

Gone are the days when an urban garden consisted of a couple of spider plants and an avocado seed sprouting on a windowsill. These days, condos are sporting rooftop decks with raised beds, and most master-planned communities are making community growing plots a ubiquitous amenity due to rising demand.

The benefits of gardening are well documented – it involves people in active recreation for all ages, engages people in their community, provides mental 68

relaxation, and creates greenspaces for everyone to enjoy. In urban areas, there are three main ways to get your hands in the dirt: Community gardens on city land, community gardens in your strata, and balcony gardening.

COMMUNITY CONDO GARDENS

“Urban gardening is a great way to create and support a thriving community,” says Eshleen Panach of Panach Group. Its new project, 50 Electronic Avenue, has

GROWING TIPS FOR ROOFTOP AND BALCONY

more than one acre of greenspace, much of which is slated for garden plots for residents. “We have a dining area right next to the garden, so people can make and eat their home-grown salad right there,” says Panach. Provisions can be made to ensure the gardens are accessible for people of all ages and abilities. “The raised beds are good for seniors who may not want to be on their knees all day.

They can sit at the edge.”

Moving into a condo that supports these kinds of gardens is not only good for your social life, it’s also good for the value of your home. Adera’s vice-president of Development, Eric Andreasen explains: “At Adera, we know that gardening is important to our homebuyers. There has been a surge of urban gardening as more and more people are wanting to grow and care for their own herbs and vegetables.” Adds Panach: “Being able to show usable outdoor spaces really helps bring downsizers into the buildings.”

Providing residents space to

grow food and connect with the earth and each other was a priority for Wesgroup when envisioning the urban plan for River District in South Vancouver. Says Wesgroup’s Brad Jones: “The community plan for River District always prioritized useful greenspace; food gardens are an integral part of the plan.”

ADDING GARDENING SPACE TO YOUR BUILDING

If your strata doesn’t currently have community gardening plots, don’t fret, it’s still possible. If this interests you, bring it up at your next strata council meeting, and you may find your neighbours are just as eager as you are to get digging. Rooftops, balconies, lawns and side gardens can all be re-purposed as garden plots for residents. (Just make sure you check with an engineer before you start.)

Lifespace Gardens is experienced doing rooftops, side gardens and many types of beautiful, edible container gardens – many that are self-watering.
