Important considerations What are the critical things to consider when choosing a location? There are so many personal variables, it’s really up to you to decide.

As an example, if it is just as important to you to be close to your children’s school as it is to your place of work, then look for a place that offers you the best of both worlds. If you own a car and want to use public transportation whenever possible to save on parking and gas costs, a location close to masstransit may be a better option for

you. If you’re a walker, proximity to major amenities should be a definite consideration.

Running errands such as grocery shopping and banking on foot affords many health benefits and provides you with a chance to meet your neighbours and discover new places, too.

Make a list of your priorities first, then take the time to assess each location for its merits and weigh your options.

Let us know what those priorities are. We’d love to hear from you!

Attention, class

For many Canadian families, financial literacy for kids begins with a piggy bank, maybe an allowance and perhaps a first bank account.

Some may continue the education with somewhat more serious lessons – such as reviewing monthly bank statements and explaining how interest works.

Moving into the teen years, families may entrust the more important matters of personal finance to our education system.

But there, we venture to say, they might well be disappointed.

David Chilton lamented that fact more than 25 years ago in his bestseller, The Wealthy Barber. How much has changed and how well have things improved?

When it comes to housing in 2016, the lessons are more important than ever. Our real estate has been a top performer for years, but the resulting costs of living for young Canadians are skyrocketing, in some cases, prohibitively high.

More and more organizations see the need and are offering programs for financial literacy for youth.

cover story

AVENUE’s great West End location and amenities make good investment WHEN MOHAMMED DECIDED he wanted to invest in a condominium, he looked for a great location in an amenity-rich area downtown and was pleased to discover Avenue situated in the well-established West End neighbourhood.

“I had looked at some places, very casually. Some newly built, some still in planning phases,” he says. “But, Avenue certainly stood out as a promising investment.

“The location was central to my decision to purchase this property,” he adds. “A good location is always an indication for a good investment; it will always be a deciding factor. This location is prime for expansion in Calgary’s growing economy.”

Avenue is a fabulous twin tower development being built at 5th Avenue and 10th Street S.W. by wellestablished developers Grosvenor Americas and Cressey JUN 24 - JUL 22, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 11

Development Corporation. It has attracted a number of investors looking to take advantage of the opportunity to build equity on properties that will hold value.

Mohammed purchased a 960-sq.-ft. two-bedroom, two-bathroom suite for him and his family. His current plan for the suite is to rent it out with the long-term goal of “possibly save it for when my son grows up and would like to be living in a more central location.”

Avenue West End is 77 per cent sold and those purchasing “are mainly end users who are not only looking to live in an amenity-rich, high quality development, they are looking to invest for the future,” says Robert Duteau, senior vice-president development, Grosvenor Americas.

“They see Avenue as being located by the Bow River in a growing West End neighbourhood and see the parallels 12 YPNEXTHOME.CA

with other popular high-end waterfront neighbourhoods in other cities such as False Creek in Vancouver.

“Avenue combines urban convenience with serene residential living. It offers a very walkable location just steps to the downtown, the Bow River pathway and trendy Kensington, as well, the C-Train is two blocks away and access to the Plus15 is within a short walking distance,” Duteau says.

“It’s a buyers’ market out there right now, and people recognize that now is the opportunity to buy in Calgary because they can get a really good deal, and furthermore we’re seeing the lowest mortgage rates, which makes the cost of owning about the same as renting.

“We have some investors, but several of our purchasers are first-time buyers, many parents who are helping their

“A good location is always an indication for a good investment; it will always be a deciding factor. This location is prime for expansion in Calgary’s growing economy.” children purchase and those ready to downsize,” he adds. “Purchasers of Avenue vary in age and profession, however, a common theme is that the majority of them want to live in the building and enjoy the lifestyle that comes with Avenue.

“For buyers like Mohammed, living downtown is a lifestyle choice, they do not want to be spending all day in the car commuting and for downsizers they’re looking for a lock and leave lifestyle with a close proximity to amenities, however, wish for a quieter residential feel.”

Avenue is comprised of 316 suites within two towers, which include a mix of townhomes, flats, tower suites and a two level penthouse suite.

The high-end buildings will feature extensive use of glass on the exterior and exceptional finishings such as

engineered hardwood wide-plank flooring, over-height ceilings, porcelain tile, marble countertops, impressive terraces and the CresseyKitchen – a revolutionary walkthrough design that creates a larger kitchen by offering a highly efficient workspace that is stylish yet functional.

Avenue also offers terrific amenities – a fitness facility, owners lounge, on-site concierge, dog-washing station and secured parking and storage lockers.

Suites range from approximately 600 to 2,300 sq. ft. and prices start from $374,900.

For more information on Avenue, visit the Presentation Centre and display suites at 1037 5th Ave. S.W., open Monday to Wednesday, noon to 6 p.m., and weekends noon to 5 p.m., call 403.530.8455 or visit avenuewestend.com JUN 24 - JUL 22, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 13

Developer, Battistella Restores and preserves history in Kensington

THE KENSINGTON BUSINESS

Revitalization Zone (BRZ) has welcomed LIDO by Battistella to the neighbourhood.

Annie MacInnis, executive director of the Kensington BRZ says the community is delighted Battistella is keeping and restoring the iconic LIDO Cafe sign. “We believe this is another example of the company’s commitment to architecting buildings that complement not compete with the communities in which they are built – and as a BRZ, we appreciate this initiative.”

“The iconic LIDO sign holds sentimental value for generations of 18 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Calgarians,” says Ward 7 Councilor, Druh Farrell. “My husband Tom and I had our first date at the LIDO Cafe over 36 years ago. We sat at the bar and shared a vanilla milkshake out of a metal cup while we chose music from the jukebox. Very romantic, and obviously good luck for us.”

Well known for its all-day breakfast and affordable menu items, the Lido Cafe officially closed its doors in April 2014, after 50 years in business.

Prior to being renamed the Lido Cafe in 1985, it was home to the Lido Coffee Shop (1963 to 1985), Pennant Confectionary (1937), Hewitt’s Fish & Chips (1939-40) and Sunnyside

MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news

Laundry (1921 to 1934), among other businesses.

Battistella Developments believes that Lido Cafe is an important part of Calgary’s history and wants to help preserve its legacy in some fashion.

Together with Battistella, we invite you to come and pay tribute to this piece of history and reminisce one more time.

Fiestaval WHEN: July 22 – 24, 2016 WHERE: Calgary Olympic Plaza

Things get spiced up in the downtown core during Fiestaval, one of our city’s finest celebrations of Latin culture. This familyorientated event is completely free, includes artisan shops and food vendors and live music, dance and entertainment of all sorts. Last years’ stage performances were phenomenal – you don’t want to miss this one!

GlobalFest WHEN: Aug. 18 – 27, 2016 WHERE: 285, 2323 32nd Ave. NE

There are few festivals in Calgary that deliver as much bang for your buck than GlobalFest.

The nightly firework shows light up the night sky while reflecting on the ponds of Elliston

Park, creating a magnificent display of color and beauty for all to enjoy. What’s cool about GlobalFest is that the firework shows are actually themed to represent different nations of the world so you can choose which night you want to check out. Apart from the show, you will find several cultural booths where you can learn about different cultures and eat some of their cuisines. There are also a variety of artisan shops and family activity areas, making GlobalFest one of the most familyfriendly and all-inclusive festivals year round!

BUYERS CAN ENJOY LAKESIDE living and get more out their door with a wide range of amenities and neighbourhood conveniences just steps away in the fabulous, newly launched mixed-use community of Westman Village.

Crafted by Jayman BUILT, Westman Village is being developed on 13.5 acres on Lake Mahogany in southeast Calgary blending together numerous housing types and an assortment of amenities.

“We are very excited; it’s so rare to have a multi-family development front onto a lake and offer so many amenities just outside your door,” says Lisa Feist, vice-president, Sales and Marketing - Planned Communities. “Westman Village will offer a unique mix of 887 new homes when complete with apartment-style condos, luxurious executive bungalows, choice rentals and active living with the majority allowing for independent living.”

The three active living buildings called

the Journey Club will be home to 307 suites and designed to be “age embracing,” Feist says. “The suites include barrier-free concepts and integrated universal design concepts that make it easier for people to live independently and age in the community.” This home style is rental or life lease (essentially a guaranteed buy back finance option).

Jayman hosted a grand opening of its onsite Presentation Centre and Discovery Centre – two sales centres with a total of four show suites on June 18 and launched priority reservations of all homes....

The apartment condos are well-appointed with modern kitchens designed with integrated appliances, dedicated entries with benches and

large patios or balconies. The condos offer one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom plus den plans ranging from 560 to 1,135 sq. ft., including four one-off 925-sq.-ft. courtyard suites that have separate entrances. Prices start in the $220,000s including access to the Village Centre amenities!

The 54 stacked bungalows have six homes per building, with four lakeside buildings and five garden

buildings. These are high end, luxuryappointed homes that start at 1,50=34 sq. ft., and there are a limited number that include a full walkout basements.

Prices start in the $700,000s.

Jayman released for priority reservation, Lyric Choice Rental suites which will be built in two six-storey buildings, with 270 homesand allow a unique opportunity for renters to choose their interior features, at a later date.

“What is truly uniqueis that all of these housing choices surround the Village Centre, located in the heart of the community, which will create a one-of-a-kind lifestyle opportunity.”

Feist says.

In the lobby of the 35,000-sq.-ft.

Village Centre, will be an in person or virtual concierge with a bistro, fullyequipped fitness centre, spin class room, hot yoga, lane pool and a twostorey water slide with landing pool on the first floor.

On the second floor will be an indoor garden, library, terrace, two multi-purpose rooms, a 4,000-sq.-ft. gym, lecture hall/theatre space, a demo kitchen that can be used for cooking classes, a golf simulator, party room with wet bar and comfortable seating and a billiard/games room.

The parkade level will have a wine cellar and wine making area, hobby room and wood-working room. Best of all most residents will be able to access the centre through two brightly lit tunnels or two Plus-15s.

“This centre will be focal point of the community and we’re thrilled because we’re building this first so that these amenities are there for our homeowners from Day 1,” Feist says.

And, that’s not all for amenities - 30,000 sq. ft. of retail space, which will feature a coffee shop, bakery, grab-to-go healthy food options and day-to-day conveniences. And, last but not least, a dining experience you must experience to appreciate how tremendous the offering is – two opportunities for dynamic dining! First, a steakhouse on the lake, Chairmens Steakhouse and then Westman Village’s very own delectable dining with an emphasis on nutrition, quality and taste.

All this right out your door.

And the top elementary schools in Alberta are…

THE FRASER INSTITUTE has published its annual Alberta elementary school rankings, showing how schools have performed academically and which schools across the province have improved or fallen behind.

The Report Card on Alberta’s Elementary Schools 2016 ranks 812 public, separate, francophone, private and charter schools based on seven academic indicators derived from province-wide test results.

“Our report card is the only objective, reliable tool that parents have to compare the academic performance of their child’s school over time and to that of other schools in their community,” says Peter Cowley, Fraser Institute director of school performance studies.

The data from the 2016 report card suggests that every school is capable of improvement regardless of the type of school, its location and the

proportion of students with special needs or students in English as a Second Language (ESL) programs.

For example, one of the fastest improving schools in the province in 2015 – based on analysis of its results during the most recent five years – is St. Catherine Catholic Elementary/ Junior High School, a separate school located in Edmonton. Despite having two-thirds of its students identified as ESL learners, St. Catherine’s overall rating has steadily improved to 6.6 (out of 10) in 2015 from just 1.7 in 2011.

Another school Keeler, a public school in Calgary, also recorded a significant jump in its ratings since 2011. With 27 per cent of its students having special needs and 37 per cent of its students identified as ESL learners, the school earned a score of 4.0 in 2015 compared to 0.0 in 2011.

Of the 10 fastest improving schools, six are in Edmonton.

Get organized for a summer move IF YOU’RE PLANNING on moving this summer, now is the time to start organizing all your belongings.

Between contents and clutter, packing up a home is a huge job.

Most people underestimate how much stuff they have and how long it will take to sort through it all.

Fortunately, there are some easy techniques to help you get a jump start on de-cluttering. The following steps will help get your home organized and ready for a summer move.

» Start by sorting and organizing closets. It’s time to get serious — if you don’t wear it, get rid of it. There is no point in moving unwanted items, it’s just extra work, time and money. Wardrobe boxes offer excellent space for hanging

coats, sweaters and snow pants. » Sort out items no longer used.

Families outgrow things, styles change, and needs change too. If it hasn’t been touched in more than a year, then it probably won’t be again. Set aside a couple of empty boxes for donations or items to sell. » Use sturdy boxes with dividers for packing breakables. Make sure cardboard boxes are structurally sound. Dish-pack boxes with adjustable inserts that form individual cells are a great option for fragile items. » Think Green. Survey local recycling options to find the most convenient solution for recyclables. Organize recyclables by category: plastic, glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard, etc. Earth911.com can help you

DREAM BIGGER

find recycling drop-off locations for different materials and products. » Care for hazardous materials. Be conscientious about the materials being disposed. Toxic items such as paint, batteries, house cleaning products, automobile oils, pesticides and fertilizers are dangerous to transport and should not be thrown away with nontoxic garbage. These items should be taken to specialized depots. » Pack it up if it’s not in use. Box up those things at the back of your closet that you’re keeping, but don’t use regularly — like fall and winter equipment and clothing, mementos and fine china.

If you start packing in the spring you’ll be ready for that summer move.

With 2400 square feet of living space, you can afford to dream bigger - much bigger. Your Brookside townhome offers generous floorplans, private fenced yards, double garages and plenty of room to grow. Head west on Yankee Valley Blvd to 24th St. in Airdrie or visit brooksideatbaysprings.com.

Mid-2016 Housing Review: Benchmark of Major Canadian Markets Intelligence House has compiled a summary of key housing market indicators and drivers for major Canadian markets year-to-date in 2016. In the Calgary and Edmonton regions, home sales and new housing starts are notably down, with prices in the Edmonton region decreasing marginally. The negative performance of both housing markets reflects many expectations put forth at the beginning of 2016, particularly in regards to the strong declines in new housing starts. That is, however, a necessary step to bring supply levels in line

with current demands in order to relieve any downward price pressure that currently exists in these markets.

That said, strong labour market performance in the Edmonton region, coupled with impressive growth in its labour force, generally indicates forthcoming demand for housing ownership. Should these trends persist in the region throughout the year, it is reasonable to expect housing starts within the Edmonton region to return toward growing levels faster than in Calgary.

Advice | CONTEMPLATING CONDOMINIUMS

Condo board confidentiality Some issues need private discussion

By Linda Palfi

MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice

CONFIDENTIALITY is sometimes essential for the board of a condominium corporation. While a social-club atmosphere is healthy when times are good, difficult issues involving specific owners will arise that require tough decisions to be made.

These are best discussed behind closed doors, and details should not appear in meeting minutes that might later be circulated to owners.

This can be an interesting balancing act. Some condominium communities hold open board meetings, so that other owners are informed and feel involved. Yet if the board is discussing possible foreclosure on suites whose owners are not paying their contributions to common expenses, the guests should be asked to leave, and minutes might best omit the suite numbers and names of those affected.

There are other issues that require confidentiality. Any instance that could embarrass an owner deserves privacy. In the first place, an alleged transgression could be a simple mistake, and it’s not fair to publicly discuss the noise thought to be coming from one suite, for example, when it later turns out it was coming from next door. In short, any potential discipline issue or concern affecting a homeowner’s personal situation or finances should be discussed privately. As well, directors should be reminded not to disclose those names to owners who are not members of the board.

40 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Minutes can and should still be recorded fully. In this example, board members, other owners and even potential home purchasers reading the condominium documents, all have a right to know how many suites are in arrears, what the impact is on the operating budget and what steps are being taken to collect the needed money. Condominium owners reading the minutes will be reassured to know that their board is protecting the collective interest. But specifically which suites are involved is not essential knowledge for owners who are not serving as board members.

Underlying this advice is the fact that while condominium corporations are legal entities, they are also political organizations. Human relations are important, as is fair dealing with individuals, consideration for their circumstances and, of course, confidentiality on sensitive issues. As we see over at City Hall some days, this expertise can even

be beyond the grasp of large-city politicians and administrators, so we shouldn’t set the bar too high for modest condo communities with volunteer boards of directors.

Yet, best efforts count for a lot.

Whether you are self-managing 16 homes in a four-storey walkup or govern a 160-home townhouse development with professional management, be sensitive to how it would feel if you were the party being discussed. Behind closed doors your directors can have a full discussion, all the options for action can be explored, minutes can record what was decided, but no one will face embarrassment among their neighbors beyond the board.

Neighbourhood Profile

Nolan Hill Modern, with a nod to history

By Caitlin Best

Planes, trains & automobiles Residents are right on the boundary of the city limits and can expect to do more driving than the average Calgarian. However, from the gates, there are many access points to the city. Stoney Trail, Sarcee Trail and Beddington Trail via Country Hills Boulevard will all serve as convenient arteries. The airport is roughly 20 minutes away – an advantage to living in the North. Currently, there are no regular bus routes from the neighborhood.

NOLAN HILL IS ONE of the newest

communities to spring up in Calgary on the Northwest side of town. Here, you’ll find homeowners who enjoy having a place for their kids to play, paths to walk and run, wide open space and a slower pace of life with a few conveniences nearby, such as big box stores, yoga and the market.

The vibe This Northwest community was inspired by the British Isles and provides a series of lush parkways, ravines set throughout modern rows of houses and townhouses. The dramatic Old World ruins at the main entrance and roundabout will make you feel like you’ve stepped into the Irish countryside.

Meet the neighbours Many areas of Nolan Hill are still

under construction, but the first wave of neighbours to move in feature a considerable amount of families with young children. The abundance of parks and paths have been designed with family in mind, and right now, these are probably the most used amenities.

In the area Because the area is new, there is still a great deal of development going on but a commercial/shopping centre is currently under construction with plans for a State & Main restaurant and a hot yoga studio. Beyond the space for kids to play, you have a number of shopping centres, such as Beacon Hill, recreational facilities and schools for all ages within a 10- to 15-minute drive. On the weekends, the Symons Valley farmers’ market is the place to go.

The good, the bad & the rest Residents who like the suburbs and the idea of living in a family friendly community will be at home here.

There’s a wide variety of housing options, lots of space, several parks and a fantastic view of the countryside. On the flip side, residents who like to have access to a variety of shops, restaurants and transit, might not find this community to be ideal. Furthermore, the commute to downtown is one of the longest from anywhere in the city.

Dollars & sense This area will be mainly focused on residential and the businesses going into the local shopping centre will be on par with what you’d find in many of the recently developed suburbs of Calgary. Residents also have access to many of the box stores in the area, including Costco, Home Depot and Future Shop.

10 tips

for painting great looking walls

By Jane Lockhart

AS A NEW-CONDO OWNER, you have

So before you tackle any painting job, big or small, follow these simple rules for a seamless finish.

1. Buy a metal cage The cage is the metal handle that holds the actual roller or sleeve.

The better this is, the longer it will last, it won’t squeak when rolling or rust when washed.

2. Buy a sleeve with a plastic centre The sleeve is the furry cylinder that you put on the metal cage or handle. If you buy a cheap sleeve with a cardboard interior, it will start to fall apart when it gets wet in the paint. Then it will leave small fluffs on your wall and all your hard work

ends up looking poor.

3. Buy a large paint tray!

This is so much easier, as you can pour almost a full can of paint into the tray which means less pouring of paint and hopefully less mess.

This also means less stopping of the job to pour paint into the tray.

4. Really coat the roller sleeve When putting paint on the roller, really coat the roller sleeve. It is designed to hold paint! Fluffier roller sleeves hold more paint, which means you go to the tray less often and this will speed up the job.

Really soak the roller in the tray so it absorbs the paint. …continued on page 46

EVANST O

two choices: you can either stick with the standard “builder beige” or you can refine your painting skills, put on a pair of coveralls and give it a shot.

This is not to say that all new homes are adorned with builder beige, but unless you were able to pick multiple colours in the paint and finishes of your space, chances are your home could probably use a new coat.

I was trained to paint properly way back when I started my design career more than 20 years ago.

Some of you may know that I began as a junior designer at Benjamin Moore Paints. I never dreamed that I would learn so much useful knowledge about colour and paint.

5. Avoid tiny strokes in a small area When applying the paint to the wall – do not roll it in tiny strokes back and forth in one small area. Begin by rolling a large “W” on the wall with the roller and then roll the wall fully from top to bottom. This will lie out the paint better and faster.

6. Apply the recommended amount of paint Apply the recommended amount of paint to the wall. People often try to stretch their can of paint a little farther by not applying as much as suggested by the manufacturer.

There is no value in this as the paint is meant to be applied to a certain thickness to give you the right colour and durability. Too little paint compromises this!

7. Don’t brush all the edges first Although it is tempting to cut-in or brush all the edges of the walls before rolling the paint on, you are less likely to get a good finish. It is best to brush a little of the edges then roll into that wet paint, and continue this process down the wall.

It takes longer but you will find the coverage of the colour more even.

8. Always use two coats of paint Yes, you usually need two coats of paint to develop the colour well or to ensure you don’t miss any spots.

There are some brands of paint that suggest you only need one coat, but I have found this to work only with a light colour over another light colour, and when I take my time applying the paint.

9. Store your paint cans upside down Paint does not “go bad” as long as it’s not kept in extremely cold conditions. Seal the lid very well (Place the lid on the can, cover with paper, and hammer the lid in

place, remove paper) and turn the can upside down in a cool dry area for storage. When the can is turned right side up again, it mixes before you dip your brush in.

10. Buy a good paintbrush Buy one good paintbrush. Cost can be an issue, but a good brush means you will only buy it once if you clean it after you have done the job. A good brush has “flagged” ends and is angled. Flagged ends look like the bristles are uneven and with split ends. This lays out the paint in a much smoother fashion.

And once you do clean your brush, use the hole in its handle to hang it up to dry. Never leave a paintbrush sitting in a pot! I use a wire coat hanger turned upside down to dry

my brush. (Hook the brush’s handle on the “J” shaped end of the hanger and hook the triangular part of the hanger over a doorknob.)

BONUS TIP Can’t find an opener for your paint can? A screwdriver or keys will work, but if you are Canadian the best thing ever is a loonie or toonie to open the lid of a paint can! It’s always available and super strong for this type of job. Thanks Canadian Mint for the convenient opener!

Even if you are not the best painter and not using the best paint, great tools will make the job easier, faster and it will look better! If you follow these simple rules, your newly built house or condo will turn into your home in no time.
