Canadian businesses aren’t prepared to taCkle today’s urgent business Challenges, Deloitte report

“T

he greatest challenge for the human capital management profession is how to manage a rapidly globalizing workforce, while at the same time keeping pace with shifting demographics and everevolving technology,” said Heather Stockton, Deloitte’s Human Capital Practice leader in Canada. “Human capital strategies affect business’ ability to compete and grow. Now is the time for HR leaders and organizations to embrace these challenges and transform HR to effectively engage and manage the 21st century workforce.” Stockton said that while the survey results suggest that the confidence in HR’s ability to support organizations is low, the task at hand is far from impossible.

“Business and HR leaders must have the confidence to reimagine and reinvigorate their teams,” said Stockton. “It is important that they do so in order to attract and develop the right talent for today’s marketplace.” Top five challenges facing Canadian leaders, identified in Deloitte’s 2014 Human Capital Trends survey: • Leaders of tomorrow need development opportunities now • Respondents identified leadership as the biggest challenge (73 percent) and the most urgent priority, moving

from fifth place a year ago. Nearly a quarter of respondents (20 percent) feel their companies are ready to support leadership development right now. While identified as an urgent matter (38 percent of Canadian leaders), respondents view their talent programs to develop existing and future talent as either weak or adequate. And nearly three quarters (73 percent) of HR leaders rate their ability to leverage emerging tools and approaches such as analytics and advanced media learning to develop future leaders as weak. Making a differenCe, not just earning a payCheque Retaining and engaging employees was the second major challenge facing Canadian firms (55 percent). Employee expectations have evolved to the point where compensation alone won’t attract – or retain – the best and brightest. Today’s successful engagement strategies align personal, corporate and social goals. Three quarters of HR professionals and their non-HR peers in Canada feel ready to respond and engage the 21st century workforce. Wanted: talent Workforce capability rounds out the top three challenges, registering with half of Canadian respondents. Capability gaps have emerged in many organizations trying to respond to the scarcity and uneven distribution of skills in the global workforce. One in ten (10 percent) of HR leaders feel ready to address this challenge, while non-HR leaders feel twice as ready (20 percent). reinventing talent aCquisition Canadian respondents believe talent acquisition and access is a greater challenge than their global counterparts (fourth in Canada, fifth globally). HR teams must move away from the traditional talent wells and use new strategies for finding talent, given the shifting workplace demographics. Social media and crowdsourcing will become ever more important for sourcing and advertising positions. More than half of respondents (53 percent) feel somewhat ready, while 9 percent feel ready. Corporate learning re-iMagined Respondents rank revisiting learning and development programs as the fifth greatest challenge affecting human capital decision-making in Canada (42 percent). Millenials and other young employees are accustomed to mobile and web-based learning and gamification, meaning traditional training methods may not be as effective. A quarter of respondents feel ready to meet the diverse needs of the four generations currently in the workforce. This report, Human Capital Trends 2014: Proceed with action, challenges ahead, was designed to complement Deloitte’s 2014 global human capital trends report, Engaging the 21-st century workforce: Global Human Capital Trends 2014. The global report is one of the largest talent management surveys to-date, bringing together 15 years of research, incorporating the views of more than 2,500 business and HR leaders in 90 countries around the world. This report examines national results, based on 133 Canadian respondents. To download entire report please visit deloitte.com.

Broad new “anti-spam” law confusing, challenging for small Business Does your business send emails? New rules in effect as July 1st! As legislation comes into force, survey suggests many think it doesn’t apply to them

anada’s Anti-Spam Law (CASL), came into force as of July 1st. It affects most businesses – any sending emails, text messages or messages through social media. But, according to a new member survey conducted by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) this week, only 15 per cent of small business owners are fully aware of CASL’s requirements, and most (62 per cent) have taken no steps to comply. “Most small business owners don’t think of themselves as spammers,” said CFIB president Dan Kelly,“But under the new law, everyday interactions with customers and potential customers will be considered spam without a significant investment to document the right permissions.” Among other changes, the new law will require businesses to seek consent to send business emails, keep a record of those consents, and to add an unsubscribe feature to every email message. The required technological and process changes can be significant. As an example, a small business was told it will cost them $30,000 to $50,000 to be in full compliance.

CFIB has received dozens of calls from concerned business owners who are struggling to figure out how to make their businesses viable in the new CASL world. Sadly, the support being offered by the Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC), one of the agencies responsible for enforcing CASL, has been less-than-stellar. “Businesses support the idea of reducing spam, but everything we’re hearing suggests that the current rules need to be made small business-friendly,” said Kelly. CFIB members support a focus on education over enforcement, and providing exemptions where these rules are not workable, for example where businesses send a relatively low volume of emails per month. “The government has repeatedly insisted that CASL was designed to go after the worst offenders, and not the general business population,” added Executive Vice President Laura Jones.“Small businesses want to comply with the spirit of the law, but implementing the letter of the law will be a challenge. Clearly, more work needs to be done to make CASL work for small business.” CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

belong to the property are included in the purchase price (i.e. lawn equipment, vacuum cleaners, appliances, snow blowers, cleaning and hardware supplies, etc.).

Consider that when you are buying a home you are basically buying bricks, mortar and land. However, when buying an investment property, in addition to the bricks you are also buying rental income and are assuming tenants. Along with tenants comes all the rules, regulations and laws that accompany them. There are many extensive regulations and by-laws such as Fire, Zoning, Health and Safety issues and so on.

FIRE CODE REGULATIONS The offer should require that the Seller provide a “Letter of Compliance” from the Fire Department confirming the Fire retrofit was completed and is in compliance. It is highly recommend that the offer requests a copy of the annual fire inspection certificates, completed by a qualified technician.

o you have decided to invest in real estate and have found the property just right for you. You are now ready to take the next step by submitting an offer to purchase.

However, before you proceed with making the offer, ensure that an experienced realtor or lawyer who is familiar with investment properties represents you.

Your offer must have the appropriate clauses and conditions to address all of the above-mentioned rules and regulations. TENANTS Your offer should request signed Tenant Acknowledgments on or before closing date, whereby a tenant confirms in writing the following: • Monthly rent, • Rental deposit paid and when, • Move-in date, • Whether any appliance is owned by the tenant, • Whether any utilities are paid by the tenants, • If there are any ongoing Landlord and Tenant disputes • Date of last rent increase • Any interest paid on the rent deposit Should a few tenants refuse to sign the acknowledgement, then a Declaration signed by the Seller would be a good substitute. EQUIPMENT AND SUPPLIES Other information that the offer must contain is confirmation of all equipment and chattels that

RENTAL EQUIPMENT Ask for a list of rental equipment that comes with the property and a copy of the contract, if to be assumed. Sometimes laundry machines, hot water tanks and even boilers may be on a rental contract.

ZONING REGULATIONS The offer should request that the Seller provide a copy of a Zoning Certificate which verifies that all units in the property are self contained, legal and meet the zoning bylaws. Also ask for confirmation that no outstanding work orders exist. REQUISITIONS The offer should also be conditional upon receiving a copy of the following: • All existing contracts, warranties and invoices for recent capital expenditures, • Utility bills for at least 2 years, • Financial statements for at least 2 years, • Existing survey, • Insurance policy, • Current detailed rent roll, • All inspection reports in Owner’s possession (i.e. Structural, Environmental, Appraisal etc.), • Any Rent Review Order available INSPECTION CLAUSE Consider including a clause allowing for a full property inspection including all units; this is an escape clause terminating the offer if you are not completely satisfied with the said inspection.

condition should be for the benefit of the buyer, and must contain the wording “at your sole and absolute discretion”. This means that, if for any reason you don’t like what you see, you can walk from the offer without providing any grounds. INSURANCE CLAUSE With today’s strict rules and regulations some properties may not be insurable due to environmental or electrical issues, etc. If there are issues, the insurance company may reject to insure or charge a premium. For these reasons, the offer must contain a clause conditional allowing the buyer to obtain satisfactory insurance at the Buyer’s discretion. FINANCING CLAUSE Unlike residential purchases, the conditional period for arranging financing should be extended (15 to 30 business days). Reason being, commercial lenders will likely request an appraisal, environmental and or structural studies before final approval. If you plan to go with a CMHC

insured mortgage, be prepared to extend this clause for a much longer period. This condition should be for the benefit of the buyer, and must contain the wording “at your sole and absolute discretion”. This means that, if for any reason you don’t like the mortgage proposal(s), you can terminate the offer from the offer without providing any grounds. Failure to address any of the above matters may result in unnecessary grief, potential lawsuits and the possibility of paying too much for the property. SELLER WARRANTIES The offer should contain a clause where the Seller warrants and represents items such as but not limited to the following; 1. That all devices equipment and/or other fixtures will be in working order on date of closing. 2. That the Seller is not aware of any structural defects, hidden damage caused by water seepage or flooding. 3. That all rents as they now stand are in accordance with the RESIDENTIAL TENANCIES ACT 2006, All of which the warranty shall not merge but survive closing; ENVIRONMENTAL Today more than ever, this is a major issue for lenders and buyers. A clause must be inserted that allows the Seller to disclose and warrant that “there is not in, on, under or about the Property any toxic or hazards substances. Confirm and ask for warranty that there are no hidden underground oil tanks. Not all issues are covered in this article. For more information on Commercial Offers and related Schedules, contact the writer. Consulting fee apply.

SMALL BIZ CONFIDENCE drops sharply in June

mall business optimism took a significant

downturn in June, according to the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The Business Barometer index for June fell over three points to 63.5 from last month’s reading of 67.1.

“Reduced optimism among business owners in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan has driven down the national numbers,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB’s chief economist and vicepresident.“But we’re also seeing other provincial indicators on pattern, suggesting that this month’s drop is not the start of any kind of sustained trend.” Measured on a scale of 0 to 100, an index level above 50 means owners expecting their businesses’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. According to past results, index levels normally range between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential. Index readings in Ontario, Manitoba and Saskatchewan dropped to 61.9, 64.0 and 65.8 respectively, but optimism

remained high in British Columbia (73.2), Alberta (72.6) and Newfoundland and Labrador (70.0). Quebec (62.0), Prince Edward Island (61.0) and New Brunswick (60.7) all gained some ground from last month, while Nova Scotia’s barometer reading fell by just under two points to 55.8. “While the hospitality and construction sectors have seen the biggest dip in optimism across the board, there are still reasons to stay positive,”said Mallett.“New order indicators are strong, while 39 per cent of owners say their businesses are in good shape – and this trend continues to climb upward.” Short-term hiring plans also remain reasonably good for this time of year and pricing and wage growth plans are pinned near the two-per-cent mark. June 2014 findings are based on 1,042 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through June 16. Findings are statistically accurate to +/- 3.0 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.

Cottages, Camps, Cabins and Condos RE/MAX report sees sunny skies ahead for recreational property sales in Canada

ecently, RE/MAX released its annual Recreational Property Report, showing healthy activity across much of the country and forecasts modest increases in sales and prices through the rest of the year.

With schools out and the Canada Day long weekend having marked the unofficial start of summer, national recreational property sales and listings rebounded from a slow start caused by the late spring and cold winter experienced in many markets throughout the country. NatioNal treNds While there are nuances and specific attractions that define local markets across the country, a number of broad national trends have been observed. Buyer Profiles: Two groups of buyers are driving the majority of recreational properties sales in Canada. The first is made up of families with younger children, who have built up equity in their primary residence and are using that money to purchase a vacation property. The second group is made up of near or recent retirees who have purchased a recreational property with a plan to use it as a primary summer residence and launching pad for winter travel.

While in the past, properties were largely used for weekend getaways and a week or two of summer vacationing, today many are purchasing a property from which they can work throughout the summer. Furthermore, a majority now see their recreational property as a four-season vacation option, rather than just a summer retreat CMHC insurance Changes: While some potential recreational buyers may have been discouraged by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s recent decision to eliminate insurance on second mortgages, little to no material impact has been witnessed from this change. There are many options available for financing and insuring mortgages on a second property and an experienced RE/MAX agent can help buyers find the option that best meets their specific needs. Activity in recreational property markets across Ontario and Atlantic Canada has picked up in May, following a sluggish April. The majority of local brokers and agents across the region expect activity in their markets to be on par or slightly above last year’s numbers in terms of both sales volume and price, as the negative effects of a late spring are expected to melt away by the end of the season. “Whether you’re looking for a cottage in the Muskokas, a camp in Sudbury, an oceanside retreat in PEI, or a condo in Blue Mountain, agents and brokers across Ontario and Eastern Canada have indicated that there is great inventory that can meet almost any budget,” said Gurinder Sandu, Executive Vice President, RE/MAX INTEGRA Ontario-Atlantic Canada Region. The RE/MAX report looked at local market trends and prices and found there are a number of affordable options available within a couple of hours drive of most major urban centres across the eastern half of the country. Outside the Greater Toronto Area, an entry-level waterfront property in Kawartha Lakes region starts at around $300,000. In Keswick, at the south of Lake Simcoe, prices start at $350,000. Around the Muskoka and Georgian Bay communities of Parry Sound, Huntsville, Bracebridge and Gravenhurst, entry level cottages can be purchased for well under $400,000. In the Western Ontario communities of Grand Bend, Port Elgin and Sauble Beach, recreational properties on sandy shores draw buyers from communities such as London, Cambridge and Kitchener- Waterloo, as well as municipalities in the west of the GTA such as Brampton and Mississauga. Here entry level recreational properties can start at or just above $200,000. Prices start at $225,000 in Eastern Ontario where recreational communities such as Renfrew, Dunrobin Shore and Constance Bay serve Ottawa and surrounding area.

residential spillover: Canada’s hot residential real estate market in urban centres has had a spillover effect on recreational property sales. This is particularly true in markets within a twohour drive of the country’s large urban centres, where price appreciation has allowed homeowners to use equity gains in their primary residence to purchase a second home for recreational use.

Atlantic Canada also has a good selection of properties helping meet buyer demand. In the Shediac area of New Brunswick, just east of Moncton, prices start at an affordable $110,000 and can climb to about $400,000. In the south shore of Nova Scotia, prices start at $100,000 and can get as high as a $3.9 million listing currently on the market. In PEI, prices for recreational properties start around $180,000 and most properties sell for less than $300,000.

evolving Use: The way buyers are using their recreational properties is changing.

This year the entire region has also seen a number of sales occurring at the upperend of the market as well. Dozens of properties across the region have sold for $1 million or more, including the most expensive sale so far this year, a $7.35 million lakefront property in the Port Carling/Bala region.

Bazis, Metropia & plaza announce Major retailers for eMerald park Metro, LCBO and Starbucks will call it home

azis, Metropia and Plaza announced three major retailers will be coming to Emerald Park, the iconic condominium, retail and office development located at Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue.

Emerald Park will consist of a pair of willowy, glistening emerald-green, glass-encased twin towers, rising from a four-level podium and connected by a glass-enclosed walkway. Upon completion, this sleek walkway will also serve as Emerald Park’s own internal connection to the Sheppard subway station, making it simple for residents to get where they need to go. The first two levels of the central podium will be dedicated to retail while the third level will showcase exceptional office space. A spectacular residents’ only club space will occupy the fourth floor. Reminiscent of an international resort, the club will feature a swimming pool, an exercise theatre with weights, cardio and yoga/ Pilates areas, steam rooms and a whirlpool. Residents can also take advantage of two fully equipped party rooms, two games rooms and two guest suites, all of which will flow into a rooftop garden graced by a sun terrace with reflecting pools, fireplace and seating areas.

Grocery giant Metro, together with LCBO and Starbucks, will occupy second storey retail space at Emerald Park, which is slated for occupancy in the fall of 2014. Metro and LCBO are designing their first state-of-the-art unique stores for this location. “This is a huge win for the residents and retailers of Emerald Park,” says architect and Bazis partner, Roy Varacalli. “We already know that Emerald Park represents the ultimate in design and will stand as one of North York’s most striking and recognizable towers. Direct access to two subway lines (Yonge line and Sheppard line) and minutes to Hwy 401, makes Emerald Park an ideal location to live, work and shop. With these retailers joining us, purchasers now have even more to celebrate.” Emerald Park has already proven to be a major success, with most of the residential, retail and office condominiums already sold out. A limited amount of office space still remains available on the third floor.

And it isn’t just Emerald Park’s glistening exterior that will be green. Environmentally friendly features of this remarkable new community include a high performance thermal envelope to minimize unwanted solar gain and heat loss, individual suite metering of electricity, energy-saving appliances and more. For more information or to take advantage of the remaining office space available in Emerald Park, visit www.thegalleriaatemeraldpark.com or 416-221-8802.

PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER TO COMPLETE A TRANSACTION, I WILL...

Central Ontario

n a society where cash appears to be king, individuals and corporations continue to sit back and wait for that all elusive deal to be presented to them that will supposedly satisfy perceived needs. However, if we, as Sellers, have assets that, for some reason, do not seem to be generating much all cash Buyer interest, is there another way to receive those benefits sought? First of all, we re-emphasize that there is no bad real estate/ businesses, only inappropriate or untimely ownership. This holds true for all related equities including Homes, Businesses, Cottages, Mini-Storage, Multi-family, Campgrounds, Condominiums, Building Lots, Office Buildings, Development Land, Retail Commercial, Resorts, Hotels, Motels, Mobile Home Parks, RV Parks, Timeshare Memberships, Agricultural Properties, Mortgages etc. Secondly, what ultimate benefits are being sought? When reviewing the potential to become creative in moving a property/business etc., a simple question to ask is what use is contemplated for the cash upon sale closing. Would the cash be reinvested? Would it go to pay down debt? Would it be put towards retirement? Would it go

towards a tax receipted donation? Would it be used to partner in another venture? Once this is ascertained, an expanded view of alternative exit strategies may be previewed. For further research on this alternative thought process, simply email me, and you will receive a copy of brochure entitled “PUTTING THE PIECES TOGETHER”. Through this simple step-by-step procedure, Sellers can determine specifically whether they are a candidate to actually become the catalyst in a transaction. A property/business offering can be enhanced greatly by what a Seller will do to create the environment for a Buyer to “Take” the Seller’s property/business. Follow-Up Questions for Sellers to Ask. Would I enhance my offering by becoming a catalyst in an exchange process? Could I use my existing equity to become a Buyer/Partner/Lender in another asset? Can I add cash; add or create a mortgage/note; add property; exchange a portion; take on a problem; partner with others; manage; move loans; lease/ back and/or /guarantee income; discount/buyback; provide financial statement; donate; option etc. The creative real estate marketplace focuses solely on taking owners to better benefits than now enjoyed. That alternative marketplace is waiting now for those creative offerings.

MUSKOKA’s

ECONOMIC FUTURE Most are aware of the historical appeal of the cultural, natural and other features/attributes of the Muskoka mystic. Thousands upon thousands from Ontario, the US, Europe, Orient etc. are drawn yearly to the beauty and relaxation of our lakes, trees, rocks, intimate social culture, etc. People say this interaction brings renewal and comfort to the spirit. However, traditionally, these same folks reluctantly leave and further pursue outside businesses interests, careers etc., with its increasing city gridlock and exhaustive pace. Muskoka is now excited to let all know that it has an emerging credible and authentic story to tell re-

garding a changing economic climate that is most positive for all who may seek a cultural restart. We are “Investment Ready.” Muskoka’s emerging “Creative Economy” is about a paradigm shift from the historical industrial age to an age where creativity, knowledge, innovation and access to information will drive economic development in exporting to a widening local, regional and global marketplace. Research has proven that to become a creative economy strategies are needed that attract highly-skilled entrepreneurs and workers who value a superior quality of life, and are encouraged through enhanced innovation. Creative workers can choose where to live. They want to live in distinctive places with unique characters and identities, incorporating history, culture, picturesque landscapes and natural amenities. Changes are underway in Muskoka to become that

year-round diversified economy, attracting new investment, expanding the tax base, with greater employment opportunity and career enhancement. Technology is allowing the exploration and pursuit of opportunities for growth in current strategic industry clusters, building on existing strengths, e.g. natural resources – water/trees/rock; environmental conservation; “green” building construction; arts and culture; airport/aviation/aerospace, etc. etc. In addition, technology has allowed the integration into information super-highway capacity, allowing the same opportunities as big cities have traditionally had. Times are changing fast. More and more entrepreneurial thinkers are realizing that the technology revolution has brought with it an actual sense of freedom to not be “Geographically Bound” any longer.

hen Performance Court was in the conceptual design phase, there was a commitment to “performance” on multiple levels. Morguard and its partners are delivering on that commitment.

“It’s not your average office building,” said Margaret Knowles, SVP Development at Morguard, who was responsible for managing the development on behalf of its investors, Morguard Corporation and Healthcare of Ontario Pension Plan (HOOPP). “We meticulously thought through every detail to build a landmark in Ottawa that will define sustainable commercial real estate development for years to come.” Morguard is targeting a minimum certification of LEED Gold Core + Shell with measurable benefits for water efficiency, reduced energy consumption, optimal indoor air quality and low carbon emissions.

SF Class A Office Tower is targeting more than a 50 per cent reduction in energy consumption relative to the Model National Energy Code for Buildings (MNECB), which is the base case used in the LEED program. Based on preliminary studies, tenants at Performance Court will see more than $1 per SF in savings on utility costs. For the first time, Morguard has joined forces with Bullfrog Power, a Canadian provider of green power that is injecting 100 per cent wind and low-impact hydro power into the electricity grid to match the amount of power used in Performance Court’s public spaces.“Morguard is demonstrating its commitment to renewable energy, another win for lowering a building’s carbon footprint,” said Peter Melanson, CEO at Bullfrog Power. “By partnering with Bullfrog, Morguard is also contributing to the development of community-based renewable energy projects across Canada. We’re thrilled to welcome the organization to the bullfrogpowered community.” HOOPP has a strong focus on environmental sustainability standards in its real estate portfolio.“Performance Court is a stellar example of HOOPP’s commitment to invest in healthy, efficient and high-performing buildings that preserve the environment, while delivering quality product to tenants and long term value for our members,”said Lisa Lafave, Senior Portfolio Manager at HOOPP.“Working with Morguard and the City of Ottawa has resulted in a unique development that fosters best practices.” Performance Court, located at 150 Elgin in the heart of Ottawa’s downtown business district, is an award winning project from its very inception, having its conceptual design selected by the City of Ottawa in a formal competition. “This world-class project is one of several that are helping usher in a new golden age for infrastructure in the nation’s capital,” said Jim Watson, Mayor of Ottawa. “The building is at the crossroads of business, design, art, heritage and public space it fits in perfectly with Ottawa’s creative, innovative spirit as the best place to start and grow a business.” Morguard and HOOPP officially welcomed tenants to Performance Court on June 18. While the first tenants took occupancy earlier this year, other tenants are completing their fit outs for future occupancy. www.morguard.com | www.150elgin.com | www.hoopp.com

Winning the game Why some businesses succeed and others fail By Jayson Schwarz

s a lawyer of 35plus years, I have seen many small businesses flourish and many fail. The big question is why some succeed and others fall. Here are just a few comments that may not really be legal comments but certainly reflect my observations. In addition some businesses succeed despite themselves and later no one can figure out what went wrong. Here are some insights that may prove of value.

1. Underfinanced. Whether it is a start up or purchase of an existing business, most new entrepreneurs spend far too much of their funds on sizzle not steak. What does that mean? As an example, too much money is spent on oversupply of inventory, leasehold improvements or other capital investments that leaves the business short of the money it needs for marketing or cash flow until receivables turn over. Maintaining a cash reserve to carry the business through to success is critical. 2. Lack of knowledge. Many people get into a business for which they have lack of training or knowledge. They think they can learn on the job. Wrong. Go intern. Work for a successful company and put in the time until you learn how it should work, what to look out for – and how to run the business. 12G COM

3. The amazing idea. The one thing I have seen over and over is a client coming in with the idea that will change the world. He has the next pet rock, hoola hoop, slinky, iPod etc. There is a huge distance between an idea and fulfillment. Remember a great idea does not make money – the execution and delivery does. In order to make the idea work we need to develop a cohesive, coherent and practical business plan in writing. The business plan will allow you to express the detail and direction necessary to make the idea work and by the way, before an idea can be worked on, extensive market research is a critical factor. 4. The Lone Ranger. John Donne in the early 1600s said: “No man is an island, entire of itself, every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.” In other words you need to recognize that every successful small business succeeds as a result of a team put together by the entrepreneur. If we try to do it alone what is quickly discovered is not the leader’s strength but his weakness. Many failures come to roost when sales are exploding, market share growing and suddenly it falls apart because the back room is missing. The entrepreneur brilliantly develops his business but loses because of faulty accounting or controls. We all need to recognize our strengths and find the right partner or staff to supplement our weakness. 5. Bad partners. Everything is always good when it starts but when it becomes too successful or too tough it usually breaks down. Trust is huge, so be careful and choose wisely. Make sure you have the relationship in writing. Also never do a deal where the risk is lopsided. Everyone must be in the same place. 6. Penny wise and pound foolish. Ok, so we can’t afford to hire a lawyer to incorporate or advise. We pass on an accountant. Hmmm, we’ll get one later. This attitude is deadly. Get your professionals at the beginning to ensure that your business is properly constituted; that your personal liability is not on the table and that the structure is in place from the beginning to allow for growth and proper process. Ok that’s enough of this sort of thing. I hope this helps to make you think, explore and consider. Good luck, start your business and success. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the web site (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 888609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

Uptick in leasing velocity boosts oUtlook for greater toronto area office market

Avison Young releases its Second Quarter 2014 GTA Office Market Report

fter a poor start to 2014, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) office market experienced higher leasing velocity in the second quarter as occupied area increased in the Downtown, Midtown and Toronto West markets. However, the Toronto East and North markets did not keep pace as more space returned to the market than was leased, spoiling what would otherwise have been a positive quarterly result. These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s Second Quarter 2014 Greater Toronto Area Office Market Report, released recently. The overall vacancy rate (physically unoccupied area) across the GTA’s 1,408 office buildings comprising nearly 172 million square feet (msf) remained at 9.4 per cent at the end of the second quarter of 2014, while the overall availability rate (space marketed for lease) increased only 10 basis points (bps) from the first quarter to finish at 12.1 per cent. “The uptick in leasing activity is a welcomed respite, especially in Downtown Toronto, as the market prepares for the first wave of new development scheduled for completion starting this fall and continuing through to 2017,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, Vice-President and Director of Research (Canada) for Avison Young. As noted in the second-quarter report, transactions in the Downtown marketplace were centred on class A and B buildings along the University Avenue, Bay Street and Front Street West corridors, spanning the Financial Core and Downtown North and West office nodes. Well-priced large blocks of space, either currently vacant or soon to be vacated by some of the tenants relocating to new developments, are highly sought after.

“Tour activity for large blocks of space has been especially brisk among tenants seeking occupancy over the next 12 to 18 months, as there are several opportunities meeting those criteria which are gradually being taken up,”adds Argeropoulos.“With numerous options available, it is not surprising that tenants are gravitating to the more cost-effective opportunities first. As these fill up, it will be interesting to see what price point the remaining large blocks housed in the traditional core towers command.” While transactions have been taking place in the existing building stock, no large deals were announced during the second quarter in the seven towers currently under construction downtown. The first two towers, namely RBC Waterpark Place and Bremner Tower, which represent a combined total of approximately 1.5 msf, are collectively 70 per cent preleased; however, transactions are underway that could see one or both fully leased by the time they open their doors in fall 2014. The remaining 3.5 msf underway, scheduled for completion between 2015 and 2017, is roughly 50 per cent preleased. “The banks have been particularly busy on the transaction front, leasing upwards of 300,000 sq. ft. of both direct and sublet space downtown, for various lease terms. While TD Bank is reportedly out with a big requirement, others that haven’t been as active on the big-deal front are positioning themselves to follow suit. I wouldn’t be surprised if one of these banks kicks off the next major tower downtown,”says Argeropoulos. Workplace strategies continue to shape the future footprint of corporate users and impact the market landscape. In Midtown, for example, Manulife Financial will free up more than 202,000 sq. ft. by rationalizing its space usage starting in 2015, leading to increased availability in the Bloor node and Midtown district. This situation follows Manulife’s decision to return 140,000 sf to the sublet market at 2 Queen Street East in the Financial Core in the closing months of 2013. Toronto West had another strong showing with the majority of transactions completed in class A buildings, leading to a decline in the overall suburban availability (16.1 per cent, -10 bps) and vacancy (13.7 per cent, -20 bps) rates during the second quarter. Unfortunately, the Toronto East and North markets experienced a notable rise in availability and vacancy (80 to 100 bps) from the previous quarter, leaving the overall suburban market in negative territory at the midway point of 2014. Argeropoulos concludes: “As we enter the peak summer vacation period when real estate decisions are typically deferred until the fall, it’s difficult to say, with any certainty, whether or not the recent leasing momentum represents a turning point or can be sustained in coming quarters. The question is whether there is enough growth in the deal pipeline to tilt absorption in the overall market from negative – as seen in the last six quarters – into positive territory by year-end.” Avison Young is one of the world’s fastest-growing commercial real estate services firms.
