BANK OF CANADA MAINTAINS OVERNIGHT RATE TARGET AT 1/2 PER CENT

T

he Bank of Canada has announced that it is maintaining its target for the overnight rate at 1/2 per cent. The Bank Rate is correspondingly 3/4 per cent and the deposit rate is 1/4 per cent.

level, although with significant job losses in resource-producing regions. The Bank expects GDP growth to moderate in the fourth quarter of 2015 before moving to a rate above potential in 2016. While bond yields are slightly higher, financial conditions remain accommodative in Canada.

Global economic growth is evolving essentially as the Bank had anticipated in its October Monetary Policy Report (MPR). The US economy continues to grow at a solid pace, although private domestic demand has proven slightly less robust than expected. Meanwhile, commodity prices have declined further. The ongoing terms-of-trade adjustments and shifting growth prospects across different regions are contributing to exchange rate movements. In this context, policy divergence is expected to remain a prominent theme.

In Canada, the dynamics of growth have been broadly in line with the Bank’s MPR outlook. The economy continues to undergo a complex and lengthy adjustment to the decline in Canada’s terms of trade.

This adjustment is being aided by the ongoing US recovery, a lower Canadian dollar and the Bank’s monetary policy easing this year. The resource sector is still contending with lower prices for commodities.

In non-resource sectors, exports are picking up, particularly in exchange rate-sensitive categories. However, business investment continues to be weighed down by cuts in resourcesector spending. The labour market has been resilient at the national

In the midst of all of these adjustments, inflation is in line with the Bank’s October outlook. Total CPI inflation remains near the bottom of the Bank’s target range, owing to declines in consumer energy prices. Core inflation is close to 2 per cent as the effects of the lower dollar and the output gap continue to offset each other.

The Bank judges that the risks around the inflation profile remain roughly balanced over the projection horizon. Vulnerabilities in the household sector continue to edge higher while overall risks to financial stability are evolving as expected. Taking all of these developments into consideration, the Bank judges that the risks to the outlook for inflation remain within the zone for which the current stance of monetary policy is appropriate. Therefore, the target for the overnight rate remains at 1/2 per cent.

The next scheduled date for announcing the overnight rate target is 20 January 2016.

The next full update of the Bank’s outlook for the economy and inflation, including risks to the projection, will be published in the MPR at the same time.

E X T E RIOR M A S O N RY FA I L UR ES Masonry Problems are continuous maintenance problems which result costly remedial measures.

1.

3. Weep Holes Blocked

Brick Flashing Missing

The failure to properly install brick flashing at the corners of a poured concrete foundation results in severe cosmetic diagonal cracking of the concrete. The initial cost to install flashing would only have been pennies. One solution is to rebuild the corner of the foundation and install flashing. This is costly.

A major problem is filled or missing weep holes in the bottom course of masonry.

This may result in water entry into the building by way of damaged brick flashing which is not visible. One solution is to open the weep holes and seal with an approved sealant.

4. Spalling Masonry Face

The source of the spalling problem is generally not from poor masonry production but failed mortar joints. The joints may have failed during construction due to a poor mortar mix, weather conditions which may lead to a bond failure and/or thermal expansion post construction. Hairline cracks in the bed joints allow for water entry and under winter freeze conditions the ice expands causing the masonry beneath the affected joint to spall, generally in a triangular pattern the top wider than the bottom.

The unsightly condition usually results in covering the masonry with a stucco of metal siding to hide the problem.

2. Rowlock Masonry Sills

A solution which is aesthetically pleasing includes a combination of replacement of the severely damaged masonry, tuck pointing of all cracked mortar joints and sealing the entire masonry face w i t h a n a p p r o v e d c l e a r, breathable, waterproof masonry sealant to prevent water entry.

Bond/frost failure of the mortar joints will lead to frost movement of the masonry.

One solution is to tuck point the mortar joints and seal.

MAKING THE CONNECTION: SUBWAY PROXIMITY OFFERS MULTIPLE BENEFITS FOR DOWNTOWN TORONTO OFFICE BUILDINGS Avison Young releases study of subways’ connections within Toronto’s Downtown office market

D

owntown Toronto’s resurgence in recent years has been remarkable, following the migration of residents and businesses to the suburbs over the past few decades. The trend toward increased urbanization and greater density continues with residential and commercial developments creating demand for each other amidst a growing emphasis on mixed-use projects.

One of the important factors enabling this transformation is public transit. In particular, office properties’ proximity to a subway station provides notable benefits for both tenants and landlords in terms of property values, rental rates and vacancy rates.

COM_4915.indd 18

2015-12-04 3:13 PM

These are some of the key findings of a study by Avison Young on subway connectivity to the office real estate market in Downtown Toronto, released recently.

“Do subways matter? Absolutely,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, Principal and Practice Leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young.“Tenants are placing as much importance on transit connectivity as they are on sustainability characteristics – such as LEED certification – and employee wellness. We have seen an increasing number of requests for proposals and tenant requirements that specify a location within 500 metres of a subway line, as tenants recognize the value of easy subway access for attracting and retaining employees. Furthermore, this access is an amenity that adds value to surrounding buildings from everyone’s point of view – both occupiers and owners. For the latter, the impact can be seen in higher occupancy rates, higher rental rates and higher sale prices for buildings that are close to subway stations.”

The study, conducted in early fall 2015, examined the entire Downtown market’s 401 existing office buildings totalling almost 72 million square feet across all building classes, as well as seven buildings currently under construction and 13 potential development sites. The buildings were classified according to which Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) subway station they were closest to, and their distance from that station in metres (m), which was determined based on aboveground walking distance for pedestrians. The study also looked at office building sales in the three-year period between October 2012 and early fall 2015.

Argeropoulos notes,“Given the office submarket’s location within the downtown subway loop, it is no surprise that 100 per cent of office buildings in the Financial Core are within a 500m walk of a subway station. Second-ranked was the Downtown North node, with 81 per cent of buildings within the same range. At the other end of the spectrum, only 12 per cent of buildings in the King and Dufferin node (popularly known as Liberty Village) offer such proximity to the subway – although the node is well-served by other modes of transit, such as streetcars.”

Other key findings include: • Across all of Downtown, the vacancy rate for office buildings less than a 500m walk from the subway was 6.1 per cent – slightly below the overall downtown average and significantly lower than the 9.7 per cent vacancy rate for buildings beyond the 500m range; • Buildings in the Financial Core node had the lowest average walking distance to a subway station (233m), followed by those in Downtown North (343m); • The Downtown South node (which extends beyond the area commonly labelled the South Core) had an average walking distance to the subway of 911m, with only three out of 14 office buildings less than 500m from a station. (It should be noted that distances to Union Station were measured to the TTC subway entrance on Front Street, not the southern end of Union Station);

COM_4915.indd 19

• The three-year analysis of Downtown office building sales revealed that buildings within a 500m walk of a subway station sold for an average of $475 per square foot (psf), while those beyond that range had an average sale price of $364 psf during the same period; • The two TTC subway stations serving the greatest number of office buildings (based on the walking distance between each building and station) are both on King Street: St. Andrew and King stations. King station serves as the nearest station for 77 office buildings (41 in the Financial Core and 36 in Downtown East), while St. Andrew serves 100 buildings (23 in the Financial Core, 72 in Downtown West and five located even further west in the King and Dufferin node).

New office building development has also felt the benefit of subway-accessible locations. Of the 18 major downtown office projects completed since 2009 or currently under construction, eight (44 per cent) are located within a 500m walk of a subway station – despite the challenge of assembling suitable land parcels in the already dense downtown core. An examination of new development pricing reveals that the towers closest to the subway have reaped the rewards, with a premium of nearly $7 psf on net face rates compared with those achieved by buildings further from the subway completed since 2009 or currently under construction.

“Developers are not missing out on these trends,”Argeropoulos adds.“There are at least 13 notable office development sites in downtown Toronto, with eight – that’s 62 per cent – less than 500m from a subway stop. These projects are well-positioned to capitalize on tenants’ demand for transit connectivity, as well as all the other sustainable attributes and modern features offered by new developments. Developments beyond the 500m mark can also prosper – as we have seen in the past – if they are well-served by other forms of transit, provide desirable amenities, and successfully combine multiple uses to create vibrant communities.”

While it is beyond the scope of this study, Argeropoulos notes, a similar scenario appears to be unfolding in the suburbs, with developers placing greater importance on existing or proposed connections to subways or GO Transit, for example.

Argeropoulos concludes,“As the downtown area becomes even more densely populated, demand for subways and other transit options will only intensify. Wise planning will be necessary to ensure that sufficient transit connectivity is provided to carry more riders, encourage development in new areas, and maximize value for all stakeholders: tenants, landlords and the city as a whole.”

WHAT IS TITLE INSURANCE? Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record - Investpro Realty Ltd. 8171452_4915

M

any Real Estate investors and home buyers, do not fully understand the reason why they pay for title insurance on their purchase. They simply accept this as to be the norm and don’t ask why?

Title Insurance is an insurance policy which protects a buyer, and can also be purchased to protect a Hamilton

mortgagee, against title-related risks such as defects in title, unenforceability of the mortgage on title, contraventions of municipal zoning by-laws, liens, rights of way, fraud and forgery.

Since no lawyer can completely assure a buyer that; a) There is absolutely no chance of an error in the government record, b) There are no undisclosed claims, or c) What appears to be the signature of the prior owner is a true signature? Therefore, Title Insurance is an option for those who wish to satisfy the ‘gaps’ in a lawyer’s opinion, where there is no survey, or where the cost of searches is greater than the cost of Title Insurance. Although title insurance is never a substitute for a current land survey, it provides coverage for losses suffered as a result of failing to have an up-to-date survey.

Title insurance also protects owners against losses due to unresolved conflicting ownership claims at the time of purchase, old or improper mortgages, liens, special assessments, tax and public utility arrears, improper title documents and regulatory compliance issues such as notices of violation, work orders, building permit problems and setback deficiencies.

Other covered risks include the inability to live in the home under zoning bylaws and the absence of a legal right of access to the property.

Title Insurance, however, does not replace the role of a lawyer. It simply provides an added level of protection for the buyer. Ontario lawyers must still search title and certify the status of title before Title Insurance can be issued. The purchase of Title Insurance may not result in additional cost to you as several expensive searches and other disbursements (e.g. survey, zoning search, hydro certificates) are not required.

Most real estate lawyers today regard title insurance as a critical component of the transaction and will usually not close a purchase without it. Also be aware that a lender will probably require a title insurance policy even if there is an acceptable survey.

Bigger and Better: Urbanization in the Ambitious City

Hamilton

A recent United Nations projection determined that, by 2050, over 70% of the world’s population will be living in cities.

The tide of urbanization is inevitable, and that is why it is all the more important that it be used as a means to create strong, sustainable communities. To accomplish this, cities must ensure that housing reflects the needs of the population; that employment opportunities are ample and accessible; and that a collectivist approach is maintained with urban planning. With these measures comes a foundation for a city that is adaptable in an everchanging world, and that is resilient in the face of any economic hardship.

can be part of the change in a positive way. In this article, I will shed light on how Hamilton is transitioning and offer suggestions as to why it’s a worthwhile investment.

Hamilton’s Changing Landscape The Healthcare Sector

Don’t be misled to think otherwise: urbanization is key to growth in municipalities. The advantages of urbanization are enormous: the process can provide solutions for many of our modern problems, such as unemployment, pollution, social exclusion, and inefficient transport. Already, Hamilton has been reaping the benefits of urbanization in some of its nowbooming areas: Jamesville has become an artist’s mecca; our downtown core has never been more diverse or more robust; across the city, SoBi bikes are available for use; and soon, we will have Light Rail Transit, a major step forward for this city’s green transportation initiative.

I got the chance to connect with a director and PhD at McMaster who insightfully answers the question “What is one major fact people should know about Hamilton’s health sector right now?”.

He explains, “Hamilton is booming because of the healthcare sector and, as a result, is becoming Toronto’s ‘Brooklyn.’ We get lots of job inquiries because people from Toronto are interested in moving to Hamilton for lower cost of living, higher quality of life, and easy public transportation to the big city amenities when they want them.” Undoubtedly, this new venture provides great incentive for serious, well trained professionals to reside in Hamilton.

Relatively, with an influx of these professions comes a positive effect on the real estate market. The condominium market in particular is expected to increase significantly as more and more qualified workers seek gainful employment in the area. Commonly, recent trends also solidify this notion as single, urban, professionals in their middle adult years, demand big city condos priced in the $400,000 range. Within this ideal, these singles are searching for buildings in appealing neighborhoods, close to transit.

Ambitious Realty Advisors staff proudly stands by their Sobi station. The employees are strong advocates of Sobi as they frequent the bike sharing program for their commute to work. No one in the administrative department drives to the office!

As a real estate professional, it’s important to understand what drives the phenomenon of urbanization and how you 11301473_4915

It should come as no surprise that the biggest employer in our city is Hamilton Health Sciences. We are proud of the number of competent nurses, doctors, dietitians, social workers, pharmacists, and therapists (among many other health–related professions) that this city produces. Our city also draws healthcare professionals from around the world. It’s easy to obtain these outsourced talents when the city puts great efforts into funding health infrastructure. This past November, both the province and the community contributed 86 million dollars to the Ron Joyce Children’s Health Centre, and the investments are still ongoing. Programs for autism, mental health, audiology, and prosthetic services will be funded with 5 million dollars. What’s more, the centre, which is strategically placed on Wellington St. N, improves access for the families residing in our urban core and is projected to see 700,000 patients within the year.

According to the Ontario Chamber of Commerce website, longer term growth will be further supported by service sectors, particularly heath care, which will serve a growing population. The Hamilton Census Metropolitan Area will drive growth in the Hamilton Niagara Peninsula, while outlying areas expand more slowly.

The Aging Population

Just as a hospital expansion benefits the soon to be “baby boomers”, Hamilton’s city core is preparing for them too. It’s important to keep in mind that these cohorts are set to move into their golden years over the next few decades. This can pose unique challenges, as tens of thousands of these older adults live in suburbs and can only access important amenities by car. In older years, the likelihood of seniors still being able to drive reduces significantly, which bars them otherwise from being able to obtain essential services. Luckily, Hamilton has already begun the process to revamp its infrastructure to accommodate for these changes. If it’s not our newly added LRT routes, it’s the Smart Streets which include Sobi bikes. In addition to our upcoming LRT changes, the city is in it’s primary stage of providing affordable housing in service–rich, dense neighbourhoods, i.e: closer to the core of the city, and farther away from the more sparsely populated outskirts. As a result of this, older adults can be connected to the services and goods that they need even if they no longer have access to a car.

So What does this Mean?

Hamilton’s property is now becoming very valuable. Whether you are an investor or builder, it is important to realize that the city will need to increase both commercial and lifestyle components to catch the eye of the new urban dwellers. With this comes opportunity for the unique bar you’ve been thinking of, or that fresh bakery with a twist. Especially if these establishments are a short distance from the condominiums in the downtown core.

It’s also good to keep in mind that Hamilton is not yet densely populated so there is plenty room for growth.

Sale of Land – Funding larger projects for the city has created new opportunity for investors to purchase land that otherwise would be harder to access. For instance, a momentum of sales recently occurred in Hamilton as to prepare for the new high school in the north end. Trustees voted to sell off $63 million in vacant and excess land in order to make up for a shortfall of funding.

Technological Advantage – with the expected growth of the city, there’s more data to collect from citizens and thus “smart cities” are formed. This means potential to better research for your business and is relative to greater citizen involvement.

Undoubtedly, people are driven by connection to opportunity and Hamilton has one strong connection. It is called the ambitious city, and with good reason: perfectly situated in terms of geography, possessing an increasingly strong workforce and boasting a surprising natural beauty, it is poised to be the Canadian city of the 21st century. The process that is key to taking us to the next step is urbanization.

Through this, Hamilton benefits not only its own citizens and begins bridging a divide, but also sets itself apart as a city unafraid to thrive in the modern world.

Tax incentives – the trend of urbanization provides exciting possibilities for businesses to collaborate with the public sector.

To do so, tax incentives work to entice investments in major urban centers as they become more attractive.

TD SURVEY FINDS MORE CANADIANS CONSIDERING DO-IT-YOURSELF INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS Number of self-directed investors could double within a decade

A

recent TD survey found that nine in 10 Canadians surveyed who use self-directed investing are happy with their experience, and the number of investors who are managing at least part of their investments directly could double within the next 10 years. About one third (34 per cent) of Canadians surveyed who don’t currently do any self-directed investing say they would consider doing so in the future, joining the 27 per cent of Canadians surveyed who already have self-directed accounts.

“Many self-directed investors tell us they like the flexibility and control of managing their investment decisions, as opposed to thinking it will get them better returns than working with a financial advisor,” said Calvin MacInnis, President of TD Direct Investing.“In fact, most self-directed investors say they have either consulted or still consult a financial advisor to help them.”

MacInnis notes that online brokerages need to continue to adapt to client needs. Just over half (54 per cent) of the survey respondents using self-directed investing said there is a lack of information tailored to their specific needs, not enough educational content available on websites, or that websites are too complex and difficult to navigate.

“A growing number of our self-directed clients are looking for a suite of professional-level tools, analytics and resources, which are also intuitive and tailored to their unique needs, to help them stay on top of the markets,” said MacInnis.“That’s something we’re providing with our Advanced Dashboard streaming platform and a newly redesigned WebBroker, with a cleaner, more modern look and feel.”

computer for self-directed investing, with just seven per cent primarily using a smartphone. But MacInnis says that’s going to change in the future.

“Our survey found that younger Canadians – those aged between 18 and 34 – are significantly more likely than other age groups to use a smartphone for self-directed investing,” he said.“Couple that with the fact that a larger percentage of younger Canadians is already using self-directed investing or is considering opening an account, suggests that the smartphone is becoming a much more common way to access self-directed investments.”

About the TD Direct Investing Survey: A survey of 1,750 Canadians (848 men and 902 women) was completed online between September 11 and 21, 2015 using Leger’s online panel, LegerWeb. A probability sample of the same size would yield a margin of error of +/-2.5per cent, 19 times out of 20. The data was weighted by the latest Statistics Canada census to ensure representation of Canada’s population by region, age and gender.

About TD Direct Investing: TD Direct Investing is a division of TD Waterhouse Canada Inc., a subsidiary of The Toronto-Dominion Bank.

About TD Bank Group: The Toronto-Dominion Bank and its subsidiaries are collectively known as TD Bank Group (“TD” or the “Bank”). TD is the seventh largest bank in North America by branches and serves more than 24 million customers in three key businesses operating in a number of locations in financial centres around the globe: Canadian Retail, including TD Canada Trust, TD Auto Finance Canada, TD Wealth (Canada), TD Direct Investing, and TD Insurance; U.S. Retail, including TD Bank, America’s Most Convenient Bank, TD Auto Finance U.S., TD Wealth (U.S.), and an investment in TD Ameritrade; and Wholesale Banking, including TD Securities. TD also ranks among the world’s leading online financial services firms, with approximately 10 million active online and mobile customers. TD had CDN$1.1 trillion in assets on July 31, 2015.

The Toronto-Dominion Bank trades under the symbol “TD” on the Toronto and New York Stock Exchanges.

And though we live in an increasingly mobile world, MacInnis notes that Canadians surveyed overwhelmingly prefer to use a desktop or laptop

SkyViews Plumbing Preventative Maintenance - Part 1

by Frank Salemi, Municipal Mechanical Services Ltd If you are a building or property manager, it is likely you are also a quick change artist. The ability to change hats quickly is something an excellent property or facility manager is adept at doing. Commercial property managers negotiate rentals with new tenants and stay aware of code changes for all building systems including plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Knowing about laws and regulations for the local jurisdiction, waste removal and fire safety is a job requirement, too.

A top concern for managers of properties of all sizes is plumbing systems. Whether the building is an office property, high-rise multi-family residential building or a single-story commercial building, plumbing problems are in a class of their own.

As a minimum, property managers need proof of licensure and insurance. If the work requires them to enter the premises of residents or tenants, getting a firm with bonded employees is important.

Water Conservation Makes Cents One leaking toilet can waste as much as 90 gallons of water in 30 days. If you manage a property, this can lead to excessive water bills. When spread over multiple toilets and multiple properties and water bills, running toilets are budget busters. Inspect plumbing fixtures on managed properties and fix leaking toilets and other fixtures that waste water. These repairs are easy and affordable.

Greater Toronto Area

One sign of an experienced and efficient owner or property manager is the ability to solve problems fast and properly the first time. The key to this is to have service agreements with companies you can count on and are comfortable dealing with.

Maintain Your Water Heating Systems We all know that a well-maintained car runs longer and better than a car whose owner doesn't give maintenance a second thought. Equally important, preventative maintenance programs cut the number of repairs and their extent.

Tips for Selecting a Plumbing Contractor An experienced owner or property manager never accepts a plumbing bid over the phone. When approached logically, a phone bid is not a good idea. Is a plumber able to quote a price without inspecting a job?

Many new property managers have a rude awakening when the contractor arrives on-site, does the work and presents you with a bill with additional charges. Insist on the contractor coming to your site and making a firm bid based on an inspection.

No Matter What, Metal Parts of Your Plumbing System Will Rust Corrosion happens, as a result of alkaline water, oxygen, salts, sand, sulfates, by-products, rust and sediment from the water heating system. Choose well-equipped plumbing companies with the latest technology such as video scopes to inspect pipes and drains to pinpoint the problem, and its location, then select the best method of repair. Consider different material options that might be more cost effective in the long run like PVC and CPVC.

There are many potential causes of plumbing problems that a phone call cannot analyze. These include tree roots that invade sewer and drain lines, improper installation of original systems and more.

To be continued in the next issue of Commercial Investor... Stay Tuned for more Tips and a Checklist!

Make Sure Your Plumber Has the Right Credentials for the Job As a rule, most provinces require plumbers to license.

SMALL BUSINESS OPTIMISM MUTED IN NOVEMBER

C

anada’s small business confidence stayed relatively quiet with little change in November, dropping 0.2 points to 58.7 and remaining well below the sentiment recorded in the first half of the year.

“Weak confidence in Alberta and Saskatchewan, and to a lesser degree Quebec, continue to keep the economy well below its growth potential,” said Ted Mallett, Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) chief economist.“The good news is that concerns about weak customer demand seem to be easing and business owners’ focus is turning to issues around the availability of skilled labour.”

On a scale between 0 and 100, an index above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance.

One normally sees an index level of between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential.

Optimism trended upward for the second month in a row in British Columbia, increasing a point to 66.6. Alberta made a one point improvement to 37.4, but still sits last in the country by a significant margin. Saskatchewan’s confidence fell six

points to 52.7. Manitoba jumped to 68.0. Ontario picked up half a point to move to 63.0, while Quebec dipped to 56.5, remaining just below the national average. Newfoundland and Labrador’s business confidence dropped more than five points to 59.8. Nova Scotia’s confidence slipped to 67.6, but still second-highest in the country. New Brunswick’s confidence made a small jump to 60.5. PEI rose four points to 63.2.

Service sector businesses are the most optimistic, closely followed by agriculture, manufacturing and personal services.

Resources, construction and wholesale are least optimistic.

Employment plans across the country improved, but remain weak compared to last year, with only 18 per cent of businesses planning to hire additional full-time staff in the next few months versus 15 per cent that plan to cut back.

Wage-increase plans held steady at 1.5 per cent, but pricing plans have begun to settle, dropping to 1.9 per cent, in part because of recent stability in the exchange rate.

November, 2015 findings are based on 879 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through November 16. Findings are considered accurate to +\- 3.3 per cent 19 times in 20.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

GTA REALTORS REPORT commercial market figures

T

oronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean announced TREB MLS commercial real estate results for October 2015. There was 427,842 square feet of industrial, commercial/retail and office space leased during the month and this result represented a year-over-year decline of 39.4 per cent. Industrial space represented almost three-quarters of all leasing activity, with deals completed for a total of 311,943 square feet – down by 39.6 per cent compared to October 2014.

office sales in October, for which pricing was disclosed – down only slightly from 65 deals in October 2014. Sale prices, on a per square foot basis, were up on a yearover-year basis for all three market segments. Similar to the industrial leasing market discussed above, the large increase in the industrial selling price was also due to the lack of large property sales this past October compared to October 2014.

The average industrial lease rate, for properties leased on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed, was $5.68 – up by 14.5 per cent annually. However, it should be noted that at least some of this increase can be attributed to the lack of deals for very large properties, which generally lease for relatively less on a per square foot basis compared to smaller properties. The average lease rates for commercial/ retail and office properties were down compared to October 2014.

“We have seen volatility in commercial leasing and sales throughout 2015. This falls in line with the fact that there has been a fair amount of uncertainty with regard to the Canadian economy this year as well. It follows that many firms have put their real estate investment plans on hold until the direction of the Canadian economy becomes clearer,” said Mr. McLean.

“Looking forward, the GTA regional economy seems poised to outperform from a growth perspective, relative to the rest of Canada. The unemployment rate is markedly lower than it was this time last year and the lower value of the Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar should have a positive impact on export-related sectors,” continued Mr. McLean.

There was a total of 63 industrial, commercial/retail and

CANADA’S ECONOMY WILL INCREASINGLY RELY ON SERVICE EXPORTS AND LESS ON MERCHANDISE TRADE: CIBC Canadian economy will need to be more innovative

I

n the coming decade, the strength of Canada’s economy will depend on the ability of firms to deliver tradeable, higher-value added products and solutions, finds a new report from CIBC World Markets.

Canada lost more than 10 per cent of its manufacturing capacity in the dark days of the loonie’s overvaluation and the new capacity that will soon emerge will be very different than what was lost,” says Benjamin Tal, Deputy Chief Economist, CIBC World Markets, who co-authored the report Adjusting to The Value-Added Economy with economists Royce Mendes and Nick Exarhos.

“Firms focused increasingly on creating solutions as opposed to just building products will take centre stage. Already, trade in service industries, like engineering, architecture, computer and financial services, is larger than traditional measures suggest and will grow even larger.”

Exports of Canadian services have risen faster than exports of goods over the past decade, and more importantly, are three times less volatile than merchandise trade, the report says. The

COM_4915.indd 48

primary reason for this relative stability is that trade in services is more diversified. Unlike merchandise exports, where 75 per cent of trade is done with the U.S., only about 50 per cent of Canadian services exports go stateside.

Tradeable goods and services represent as much as 70 per cent of the Canadian economy and 80 per cent of all jobs. Yet, according to Statistics Canada, they account for only 16 per cent of gross exports.

“How is it possible that services represent such a small fraction of exports while accounting for 70 per cent of GDP and 80 per cent of all jobs?,” says Mr. Tal.“The answer, your economics 101 professor would say, is that most services are untradeable. After all, you cannot export a haircut.”

But, Mr. Tal points out that was more the case 20 years ago than it is today due to the globalization of production and supply chains.

“Trade in services is usually nothing more than an afterthought,” he says.

“That tendency should change.“ Indeed, the share of exports generated by services is understated in conventional trade statistics, the report says.

When looking at the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development’s Trade in Value-Added Database (TiVA), which captures every stage of the production process in addition to direct exports, the share of tradeable services in Canadian gross exports is not 16 per cent, but more than 40 per cent, the report says.

“If tradeable services were important in the past, they will be even more important in the future,” says Mr. Tal.“It is not a stretch to suggest that, when measured correctly, the value of exports of business services can surpass merchandise exports in the coming decade.”

“But, with these changes, there will be challenges,” says Mr. Tal.“Companies will have narrower windows to capitalize on proprietary know-how or products, and current financing avenues and educational models are also not fully equipped to effectively support the new wave of entrepreneurialism.”

In the coming cycle, smaller business will get smaller, with new technologies and the power of e-commerce making it is significantly cheaper and easier to establish and run a small business, the report says. The highest concentration of micro businesses will be in the professional, scientific and technical services sectors.

“Having access to capital and incubators will be important to the success of these smaller companies,” says Mr. Tal. Most of their early stage funding comes from family and friends or angel investors who are willing to provide early patient capital. Following some lean years in the aftermath of the global financial crisis, venture capital funding has grown, but it remains focused on later-stage investments as opposed to seed and early stage companies, $1.3 billion in 2012 versus just $602 million, respectively.

“To truly take advantage of the emerging environment, firms will need to invest heavily in research and development,” says Mr. Tal.

development spending in the country, the report says.

Mr. Tal also points out the potential impact of the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) “could be very significant” on Canada’s service sector.

While most of the discussion focuses on dairy, auto or forestry industry, TPP actually covers a broad range of services through a ‘negative list’ approach, which means that all service sectors fall under the agreement unless a country excludes them, the report says.

OTTAWA’S OFFICE AND INDUSTRIAL REAL ESTATE MARKETS TELLING OPPOSITE STORIES Colliers International Q3 2015 market report

C

ommercial real estate in Ottawa told two different stories in the third quarter, according to Colliers International Q3 2015 market report for the region.

While commercial industrial market vacancies remained low, commercial office market vacancies increased, leading to aggressive deals from a number of landlords in order to minimize the impact of large-scale tenants leaving their buildings.

“The Ottawa office market remains a tenant market because of current vacancy levels,” said Warren Wilkinson, Colliers International’s Senior Sales Representative in Ottawa.“As a result, tenants remain in a good position to improve the terms of their leases, or rent office space of high quality at preferential rates.”

COLLIERS OTTAWA OFFICE REPORT Commercial office vacancy across Ottawa increased to 11.9 per cent as of the end of the third quarter, a drop of 0.5 per cent from the second quarter. The downtown office submarket, which comprises 42 per cent of all office space in the city and the Kanata submarket continue to be the most sought-after regions for prime office space.

and its various departments continue to have the biggest impact on office space in the marketplace. Any real estate shifting within the federal government can have a domino effect throughout the market.

The federal government’s downsizing and relocations strategy is still affecting the market. When the Department of National Defense leaves the downtown core, the repercussions could be substantial,” said Wilkinson.

COLLIERS OTTAWA INDUSTRIAL REPORT The commercial industrial market in Ottawa is one of continued strength. Industrial vacancy rate in Ottawa remained low in the third quarter, though it slightly increased to stand at 3.9 per cent.

This low vacancy remains even as the velocity of deals and market activity remains steady quarter over quarter, and increasing slightly over the past three months.

“Change in the industrial market is unlikely to come rapidly as there is no new inventory being added to the market,” said Wilkinson.“Buildings that are available receive steady activity and interest in well-located, good quality industrial space has started to increase, and interest in industrial buildings remains high.”

This Colliers market report showed the Ottawa suburban industrial markets enjoyed positive absorption in the third quarter, with vacancy rates at their lowest in 39 months. There is some potential for further growth in this sector resulting from major capital projects currently underway and funded by the City of Ottawa and provincial government.

“The majority of tenant demand in the Ottawa industrial market is coming from the 2,000 to 10,000 square foot occupier segment,” added Wilkinson.“Tenants within that size range are typically looking for industrial space with existing improvements in order to reduce their day-one occupancy costs.

Visitcollierscanada.com and follow on Twitter @collierscanada.

The Colliers report showed that although tenants are currently in a positive negotiating position, the projected market recovery in the next 12-24 months may end the current attractive landlord offers available.

“As with any national capital, the activities of the federal government

NATIONAL JOB VACANCY RATE UNCHANGED IN Q3

C

anada’s national job vacancy rate held steady in the third quarter, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business’s (CFIB) latest Help Wanted report.

Approximately 326, 600 full time, part time and temporary positions remain unfilled across the country due to a lack of qualified candidates, accounting for 2.6 per cent of positions.

“While the national rate has held steady, it is masking some counteracting regional developments,” said Ted Mallet, CFIB chief economist and vice-president.“The weakening labour markets in Saskatchewan and Alberta have seen their vacancy rates drop dramatically, but we’re seeing a significant rise in rates in British Columbia and Prince Edward Island, as well as a modest increase in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick.”

British Columbia now has the highest vacancy rate in the country at 3.0 per cent, representing 48,700 positions. Nova Scotia has the lowest at 2.2 per cent, representing 6,600 positions.

Service sector vacancy rates have risen modestly, while goods producers have seen a decline. Vacancy rates are more than double in micro businesses (one to four employees) than in large enterprises (500 or more employees).

The survey also shows a continuing clear relationship between job vacancies and wages. Businesses with vacancies reported planned average organization-wide wage increases of 1.8 per cent in Q3 2015, while those fully staffed reported a half-point less at 1.3 per cent.

CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, Ontario and Manitoba saw little change from last quarter.

THE BUSINESS OF BUSINESS-TO-BUSINESS MOVING

W

hen it comes to commercial and office moves, at Two Men and a Truck – Canada, we understand that businessto-business clients value three major things: that the job is completed on time as promised, on budget and with no disruption to their “business as usual.” This may involve professional offices, retail stores, educational facilities or any other type of organization.

The focus on budget and timing is understandable, and a good mover will work toward a seamless transition from Point A to Point B. The first thing to establish is a chain of communication.

Usually, this means interacting with a move coordinator for the client. Often times that’s a role we will play. On the mover’s, someone should be set up as a consultant dedicated to the move.

This professional works with the client coordinator to shepherd the logistics.

Each business-to-business move is different, and it’s up to the mover to determine what equipment is necessary.

For example, the mover may need to use library carts, computer carts, elevator door jamb protectors, carpet protection and the like. They should also have special anti-static bubble wrap for computer

COM_4915.indd 60

By Chuck Resnick

equipment. Another element the coordinator handles is connecting with the appropriate commercial/office management company in order to find out about, and adhere to, rules and guidelines for elevator usage, truck parking, etc.

If the move calls for equipment or specialized expertise, the coordinator should arrange for the specialized service. An example would be tearing down cubicles, disconnecting computers and electronics at the destination site and reassembling them. Space-planners are needed to accomplish this part of the move, especially when it comes to the cubicle set up.

Interestingly, office moves are usually done with totes rather than boxes. There are a number of things that will need to be provid such as labels and security ties for the totes. Each person’s office items are transferred to the appropriate office at the destination. Good labeling helps to achieve successful residential moves, and with a business-to-business move, it takes on even greater importance. Another big help is to have floorplans of the offices at both ends of the move, which of course, aids in labeling what goes where, as well as the order in which items are packed and taken off the truck.

All this is organized and orchestrated by the coordinators, and often a mover will do these moves after hours and on weekends to minimize disruption during usual work hours. If the move has to be completed during those hours, it is best to limit employee participation as much as possible. The goal is to make things as easy as possible on employees and customers.

In the end, the key to a successful business-to-business move is to develop a plan with clear and well-defined goals. Having someone on each end that is responsible and accountable for the event. Those booking a commercial or office move will want to check into the company’s track record and look at any testimonials reflecting the work.

In any kind of move, everyone should be happy when the last box is put into place.

The best way to ensure this level of satisfaction is to plan ahead, be organized and keep the lines of communication open.

The Pro Funds’ Client Experience: Flipping Properties with Zero Down

Pro Funds Mortgages is happy to announce a new article series, The Pro Funds’ Client Experience. These articles will feature a variety of clients sharing their knowledge and experience in dealing with Pro Funds to accomplish their real estate focused endeavours. Here is Andrew Hines, a Mortgage Agent and borrower with Pro Funds who shares how he has utilized private funding to acquire and build and income property.

Rewind to May 1st 2015. Closing day. It was finally coming together. The results of 2 months of planning, due diligence and a whole lot of waiting were finally paying off. And I mean literally, my lawyer actually called me to let me know that I was getting a cheque for $73 upon closing of my purchase of a beat up old rental. Wow, just when I thought buying real estate couldn’t be any more rewarding.

The deal looks something like this: I buy a property with zero down, receive funds which are held in trust to pay for my renovations and expenses, and then I sell the property and get paid. Not a bad deal…?

“How is this possible”, you might ask? Well real estate is a business. And like any good business, flipping requires a good business plan. From the beginning I made sure that I knew my numbers. When I found the property, I knew what it was worth, I knew what it could be worth and I knew what I would have to put into it to get that value.

So what did I do? With the help of Pro Funds, I found a few private lenders to lend me the entire purchase price and renovation cost, in addition to my interest payments for the 6-month period I allotted myself to do the work.

As anyone thinking about flipping a property knows… you don’t get paid until you sell. So paying things like mortgage payments and property taxes during the process can become a burden. For me, being able to borrow the money to cover those items made it that much easier to get through the process and prevent any new grey hairs from forming just above the sideburns. There was some heavy lifting along the way and a few not-so-helpful contractors… But I think the memory of taking a chimney down piece-by-piece using a sledge hammer will always stick with me. That was fun.

The Pro Funds’ Client Experience: Flipping Properties with Zero Down

So how can you structure your very own “zero down flip”?

1. Know your numbers - See a lot of properties, find out what they are selling for, both before and after the proposed renovations, and build yourself a buffer of 20% over and above what you think it will cost. Talk to contractors, get estimates and be ready to play hardball if needed.

2. Back it up – Start the process with comparable sales (your realtor can help with this) this is how you’re going to convince your lender that you can actually get the property sold for what you think you can sell it for at the end of the day. If they’re going to lend you money they need to know you have an “exit strategy”. Be sure that you’re very clear on what yours is. Good mortgage brokers will require an appraisal because they have an interest in making sure everyone is protected. You should expect to provide an appraisal for the property “as is” and “upon completion” of the proposed renovations.

3. Work with a broker that focuses on creative financing – I’ve worked for, and used Pro Funds Mortgages for financing for 5 years now. Knowing I can get real estate financed has allowed me to be a lot more aggressive with my real estate acquisitions.

4. Be willing to give up other collateral – my portfolio is an open book when it comes to getting new money. I put up one of my other properties to avoid putting any money down on this deal and I would do it again in a heartbeat. The ease and speed of operating this way allows me to do more than I ever could with a bank.

I’m cold – I want to buy something in the south!

By Jayson Schwarz & Susan Legge

C

anadian winters being what they are, many of us flee for either short term, or long term holidays to the sun, sand and heat, at various times of the year. When we are there, we are drawn to the siren song of permanent ownership. Maybe it is the urge to plan for retirement or the certainty of having somewhere of your own to go to, year after year.

Really, what are you buying? Are you buying a timeshare, outright ownership or a long term lease? More and more questions. Here is a list of a few questions that need to be answered on a preliminary basis on a resort or new condo purchase before you dive into an in depth review:

Home ownership in another jurisdiction has a slew of considerations that are complex, and at times can be overwhelming. There are estate tax considerations that come up – especially in Florida where you may require a specially designed “Florida Trust” (that a qualified Canadian lawyer can draft for you) to avoid Uncle Sam, as a partner with your kids after death. There are issues of law if the country does not have a British system, and in fact runs on civil or Napoleanic law; Martinique and St Martins are examples. There may be issues of property ownership by foreign nationals requiring some local lawyer to hold your property as trustee.

Here is the first test. How does the resort or sales centre answer those questions?

Did they satisfy you with their knowledge and professionalism? Did they try to push you into signing something without the opportunity to consult with a lawyer?

The next issues relate to the vendor.

Are you purchasing from a reputable organisation? If condo, how are you sure the developer will be around if things go wrong? What guarantees are there on your deposits if he goes broke and does not finish?

Hmm, sounds like a lot, but it was so easy to sign up during the tour.

1. Location. Why are you choosing this location for a second home?

2. How much time will you spend in a typical year in your second home?

3. Will you typically bring friends and family, or not?

4. What are the common fees, and how are they set and controlled?

5. What are resales like for the development?

6. What is the legal structure and laws that apply in the country you are looking at purchasing?

7. Would you rent the property? If so, what are your expectations and needs on rental income?

If you have an intention to buy, make inquiries and find a lawyer referred to you by your lawyer at home, or friends, that can satisfy and protect you at each level.

You need to understand the tax implications to you, and more importantly, the implications if you sell for a profit. As an example Barbados is a Canadian tax treaty partner and you may get favourable consideration on a capital gain – or if structured properly – on rental income. There is no tax in Turks and Caicos, and therefore you would only be subject to tax as normal at home. Each country is unique and needs a lawyer or accountant to help you figure it out.

Buying a second home in the warmth is a dream many Canadians share, and properly structured, can bring years and years of happy memories and quite possibly a great return down the road. Good luck.

Three mistakes to avoid when investing with friends and family

By Andrew la Fleur

I

f you’re thinking about investing in a property with family or a friend, there are certain benefits that can make it an attractive way to build your real estate portfolio.

Most obviously, investing with a partner allows you greater buying power and lowers your personal risk exposure.

However, there are potential pitfalls too, and some mistakes that I see investors making time and time again.

Here are the top three mistakes to avoid when investing in real estate with friends or family.

1. NOT HAVING YOUR GOALS ALIGNED The biggest mistake I see investors making is that they don’t agree on their goals up front. Figuring out why you are both investing and what you hope to get out of it is essential to long-term success and avoiding conflict.

When you know what you are trying to achieve, it also makes the property selection process easier.

The more specific you are with your goal setting, the better, as it will eliminate all but a very small number of potential properties you will even look at investing in. You need to sit down, talk about, and agree upon what your exact goals are before you start evaluating specific property alternatives.

Get aligned on goals first. One way to frame the conversation with your partner around goals is to both finish this sentence: “I know our real estate investment will be successful when…”

2. NOT HAVING DECIDED UPON AN OWNERSHIP STRUCTURE When buying a property with another person, there are different forms of ownership that you can utilize, the most basic question being, do you incorporate or buy in your personal names? There may be other factors to consider including how your financing will work on the property. Seek out professional advice from your lawyer and accountant on the best ownership structure that is right for you.

3. NOT HAVING YOUR EXIT STRATEGY PLANNED Always talk about your exit strategy alternatives with your investment partner before you buy a property. It may seem strange to talk about how you sell a property before you even buy it, but this step is essential for a successful partnership.

You must agree on how, when and under what circumstances you will sell the property. And perhaps the most important question to ask and agree upon: What happens if one partner wants to get out of the investment but the other does not?

Can you figure out a way to structure a method for one partner to ‘buy out’ the other that is fair and equitable to both parties?
