insiderinsight

Meet the flexible, programmable mall spaces of the future By Bryan Croeni, Principal at B+H Architects Advance Strategy

n today’s disruptive environment it’s easy for designers to instinctually feel they have a pulse on what the future of retail space is going to be and how the function of the mall will evolve. It’s clear that one of the greatest threats facing the shopping mall is ecommerce; however, this is not the only consideration. Many malls are dying, many are struggling to reinvent themselves and still, amidst the chaos, others are flourishing.

When B+H Architects gathered its design leaders for a two-day design charrette in Toronto to explore the future of ‘the mall’, the first thing we did was to acknowledge that we don’t have all the answers. By studying the trends impacting the eight identifiable attributes that make up the mall of today, we could piece together future scenarios that will guide us as we design the malls of tomorrow. 1. SPACES - EXPLODE THE BOX

Traditional big box anchor tenants and corridors full of rigid spaces make less sense when the shopping experience is replicated digitally. Since physical space no longer dictates where and how we do commerce, a shift to modular flexible spaces that expand and contract based on needs could become the norm. 2. MOBILITY - WAR OF THE PARKING SPACES

As the car becomes detached from consumer habits, designers will need to account for new modes of transit and embed mobility into the overall shopping experience. The world is preparing for the autonomous vehicle and empty parking lots are already seen as opportunities to introduce mixed-use. Taking the Hyperloop home will be more appealing if a drone is there to carry your shopping bags. 3. TECHNOLOGY – THE DIGITAL DIVIDE

Today the mobile share of global ecommerce is estimated to be 70 per cent, fueled by the 66 per cent of the global population that owns a smartphone. Malls need to fight fire with fire, by ensuring the integration of technology acts in service to human experience and not as the experience itself. Technology can be leveraged to make spaces instantly programmable and customizable.

antiquated infrastructure to align with the global energy transition is a perfect opportunity to embed flexibility and customization into the mall. The mall can act as the spine that everything plugs into, receiving and sending the information to potential retailers, programmers, vendors and guests. 5. TENANT MIX – SYSTEMIC CHANGE

A mall programmed around social attractors that draw people together will invariably change based on shifting user needs, wants and desires. With flexibility and change embedded in the mall’s structure, an extension of the Air BnB/Uber models can be leveraged to facilitate an element of purposefully transient tenant spaces. 6. USER EXPERIENCE – CAMPFIRE

Buying stuff will not survive as the primary purpose of the mall. In the future you will go to the mall to “wake up.” Retailers are already increasing their programming with a focus on experiences. As the lines between live, work and play continue to blur, community and social activity will become the generators of retail and not the other way around. 7. INVESTORS – SHARING SPACES

Change, not growth, is shaping an increasingly global investment market. A mall that is a collection of experiences and opportunities for commerce lends itself to a new kind of ownership model built around multiple stake holders, community ownership and the sharing economy. 8. GUESTS – THE NEXT DISRUPTORS

Just three major consumer groups will generate 50 per cent of total global urban consumption growth between now and 2030: the retiring and elderly in developed economies, China’s working-age population, and North America’s working-age population. The next disruptors are Generation Z, who have demonstrated a willingness to trade in technology for authentic experiences that can’t be replicated anywhere else.

4. INFRASTRUCTURE – PLUG AND PLAY

Building on technology, the increasing pressure to update

legallyspeaking

Deciphering legal language Deeds, transfers, mortgages, charges, discharges and undertakings By Jayson Schwarz

or the average homebuyer, there are some legal terms that require translation. The Government of Ontario keeps records of every piece of property in the province. These records are called the “title documents.” The document on file, that says who owns the property, is called the “transfer,” or “deed.”All of these documents are filed with the government — a process that is called “registering” the document. When a bank lends money and gets a record of this loan on title, the document is called the “mortgage” or a “charge.”When the charge is paid off, a new document is filed with the government office and it is called a “discharge.” If only part of the charge is paid off, a document called a “partial discharge” can be filed. There are many other documents, but these are a good starting point.

forced to accept the builder’s or the builder’s lawyer’s undertaking to register a partial discharge, without the other information. Now, I do not believe the builder or the builder’s lawyers who do not include this information would give the promise without meaning it, but what about things out of their control? FOR EXAMPLE, IF:

Usually when a developer/builder starts a new project, he will go to a bank or other financial institution and just like you, arrange for a mortgage or charge. The difference, however, is that this can be a huge charge. As an example, the builder/ developer may have a $50- or $60-million“blanket”charge applied to enable him/her to create and build the project. The next thing that happens is that the house or condominium is built and sold, and it is time for closing.

• the builder goes bankrupt

In the Agreement of Purchase and Sale will be a clause that will relate to the discharge of that part of the blanket charge which affects the property you are buying. The builders’ lawyers (the good ones, in any case) add the clause that the purchaser will accept the promise (undertaking) of the builder’s lawyer to register the partial discharge in a reasonable period of time, but will give on closing two important things:

• the builder goes to Tahiti with the money

a) a letter (“discharge statement”) from the bank or other financial institution (“mortgagee” or “charge”) setting out how much money has to be paid to the chargee to obtain the partial discharge; and

• the builder has a dispute with the bank • some other party seizes the money from the builder • the builder has an internal shareholders dispute and assets are frozen • the lawyer goes to Argentina with the money If we had followed a) and b), none of that would matter. My complaint is that it does not cost the builder anything to give this piece of mind and security to the purchaser. It is just usually the fault of some lawyer trying to prove how good he or she can be. So be careful. Watch for these tricky clauses and consult a lawyer, because only a lawyer can provide legal advice and care enough to catch these kinds of things.

b) a direction from the builder to the purchaser, telling the purchaser to pay the amount of money needed to obtain the partial discharge directly to the chargee. The clauses I will not accept stop with the purchaser being

UNDERSTANDING REAL ESTATE TERMS AND FORMULAS By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty Ltd., Brokerage

Hamilton

n this complex world of Real Estate investment, understanding the many terms, formulas and strategies will help you in making a wise investment. Let’s begin with the Operating Expenses, which are the most important factors in determining cash flow.

OPERATING EXPENSES In my career I have come across many financial reports on investment properties. It never ceases to amaze us how many operating expenses are streamlined to exaggerate the “Net Income”, thus artificially increasing the market value of the property. In addition to the regular expenses for heat, hydro, water, property taxes, etc., the next time you review an income statement, also look for the following expenses. 1. Management Fees Whether you intend to manage yourself or hire a property manager, this item should always be expensed at 3% to 5% of the gross income, depending on the size of the property.

2. Superintendent/Janitor Wages Again, whether or not you intend to do the work yourself, always expense this wage to determine the true operating expenses. Use approximately $40.00 – 50.00 per unit, per month as a guideline. This will vary depending on the duties. 3. Maintenance/Repairs This cost will also vary depending on the type, age and condition of the property, as well as the quality of tenants. A good guideline is approximately $600.00 to $800.00 per unit, per year. 4. Elevator If the property has an elevator, make sure the elevator costs are included in the expenses. Many times this cost is omitted. 5. Garbage Disposal Determine if the garbage is picked up by the City at no cost, or by a private company that would invoice the owner. This cost is often overlooked. 6. Insurance Coverage The property must be insured for fire and other hazards and this significant cost should not be overlooked. Premiums will vary depending on age and size of the building and be aware that premiums are on the rise. 7. Laundry Expenses On many occasions, you will find the laundry income included in the gross revenues, however, the laundry rentals are often forgotten in the expense column. Unless the laundry equipment is owned, always look for rental charges in the expenses. 8. Advertising/Promotions, etc. In a tough rental market, you must allocate a reasonable monthly charge for advertising or costly promotions. A good “rule of thumb” for operating expenses is 50% to 60% of the “Effective Gross Income” (a term that will be discussed in next issue). Always remember that it is the Net Operating Income that sets the probable value of the building. Therefore, to actually establish the true N.O.I., all the actual expenses must be accounted for, or you could end up paying too much for the property.

SkyViews Finding the Right Brokerage Guidelines to help apartment owners maximize their sales

Greater Toronto Area

By Erin Ruddy, Editor of Canadian Apartment Magazine When it comes to selling an apartment building, there are communication to blanket the market in hopes of finding many factors property owners should consider before potential buyers; to properly market a property, the right diving into, what for most, is an intensely complicated brokerage will use what is called target marketing. “Using process. Among those factors, and perhaps the most multiple forms of communication, your brokerage should important of them all, is choosing the right brokerage to identify the best strategy to reach all buyers in the engage the right buyers. apartment building industry directly, resulting in you getting the most efficient marketing results,” he says. Cliff Ford is the Director of Sales and Marketing at Skyview Realty Limited. As someone who has been been facilitating Find someone connected this process for more than seven years, Ford offers the The ideal brokerage is connected not only to you, but also following guidelines for finding a brokerage firm to foster to a network of current buyers. When you are ready for successful transactions and ensure the highest results. your property to be listed, Ford says your brokerage should already have contacts with potential buyers and know who Go with experience would be the right fit for your building. Real estate markets change from year to year, even from month to month. “When dealing with a brokerage firm, Remember, established is good owners need to find the delicate balance of experience, Along with knowledge of current buyers, a brokerage coupled with the up-to-date understanding of today’s should have already established relationships with other current marketplace and trends,” says Ford. “Experience companies in the industry—appraisers, environmental and alone will fail to provide strategies that reflect current trends structural inspectors, financial institutions, and other key in the industry.” On the other hand, a brokerage firm lacking players. “Having an established network of industry in experience will not be able to accurately predict and professionals can assist you in bringing your transaction to prepare for upcoming trends. a quicker close,” he says. Look out for number one Ford advises that above all else, apartment building owners choose a brokerage that looks after their interests and works hard to achieve their trust, confidence and commitment. “Your brokerage should ultimately be looking to serve your needs throughout the process of selling,” he advises.

Look beyond the offer Many real estate transactions fail at the most crucial stage: the due diligence process. “Having a brokerage that engages in a thorough due diligence process ensures that your building’s information is verified for the buyer and your transaction closes smoothly and promptly.”

Take the right approach While some brokerages focus on the approach of, “Bring me an offer, any offer,” Ford points out that finding the right buyer with the right offer is the better way to go. “A good brokerage will bring the right people to the table to help you sell your building,” he says.

Get what you pay for “Whether you are paying a low or high commission fee to the brokerage of your choice,” says Ford,” you need to be confident in the level of service you received. The right brokerage will be dedicated to providing the ultimate service for the commission fees you pay.”

Know your value Many brokerages waste valuable time and resources trying to pinpoint the market value for a building. “The right brokerage will have the knowledge and experience to provide an accurate opinion of value prior to even listing your building,” says Ford. “Knowing what your building is worth will help you get the right return on your investment.”

Finally, when all is said and done, Ford explains that the most important element in dealing with a brokerage firm is achieving top dollar for an apartment building. Finding the right brokerage—one that fulfills the above criteria—ensures that the owner walks away from every transaction with confidence, having received exceptional service, maximum exposure, hassle-free processes, and best of all, financial results.

Get maximum exposure Marketing is not just a matter of using one or two forms of

GTA REALTORS RELEASE commercial market figures

oronto Real Estate Board (TREB) President Tim Syrianos announced that TREB commercial network members reported 263,420 sq. ft. of combined industrial, commercial/ retail and office space leased through TREB’s MLS System in October 2017. This result was down by 27.7 per cent compared to October 2016. Industrial lease transactions continued to account for the great majority of space leased. Changes in average lease rates, for space transacted on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed, was mixed depending on market segment. The average industrial lease rate in October 2017 was $8.27 per sq. ft. net – up from $7.02 in October 2016. The average commercial/retail lease rate remained similar on a year-over-year basis, at $21.55 in October 2017 versus $22.41 a year earlier. The average office lease rate was up to $17.51, compared to $13.81 a year earlier. It is important to note that average lease rates can change based on shifts in market conditions and changes in the mix of properties leased, in terms of type, size and location.

“TREB members continue to be involved in a substantial number of commercial transactions on a monthly basis. Obviously, there is always some volatility on a month-to-month basis. However, from a longer term perspective, the GTA and broader Greater Golden Horseshoe remains very competitive in the North American and global contexts. While Canadian economic growth appears to have slowed in the second half of 2017, Canada is still on track to pace growth in G7 countries. This points to a solid foundation for the demand for industrial, commercial/retail and office space in the region,” said Mr. Syrianos. Total industrial, commercial/retail and office property sales amounted to 56 in October 2017 – down from 69 sales reported for the same month in 2016. Average selling prices on a per square foot basis for transactions with pricing disclosed were up substantially for all three major market segments. However, while shifts in market conditions may have accounted for some of the average price increases, changes in the type, size and location of properties sold also influenced these increases.

Want to finance your own business? Central Ontario

Here’s how

any of us dream about becoming business owners. If you want to turn this vision into a reality, the first step is financing your new business. Check out these four key steps you can start thinking about today: 1. Consider personal financial investment. Be prepared to invest your own capital into your business. Most financing options, including government financing, require you to provide a portion of the investment. 2. Improve your credit rating. Lenders will consider your personal finances when you apply for a loan. Most look at your credit rating, so keep on top of your credit and take the necessary steps to ensure it’s attractive to lenders.

3. Develop a business plan. This is one of the first things most lenders want to see. It shows them what your business idea is, how you plan to implement it, and how you will succeed. Lenders want to ensure that your business is viable before they invest in it. 4. Seek support. Free services to help you with business planning are offered through Canada Business Ontario. Call them at 1-888576-4444 or visit www.canadabusiness.ca. Canada Business Ontario is a program within the Federal Economic Development Agency for Southern Ontario (FedDev Ontario).

The changes to cut red tape and help small businesses grow include: • Reducing regulatory costs: Requiring all ministries to offset every dollar of new administrative costs to business by removing $1.25 of old and unnecessary costs, while protecting environmental, health and worker safety standards. • Streamlining compliance for small business: Ensuring that undue burdens aren’t placed on small businesses when new or amended regulations are introduced, while maintaining robust environmental, health and safety requirements and other public interest protections. • International or national standards alignment: Increasing harmonization with other jurisdictions and adopting international or national standards, where appropriate, when developing or reviewing regulations. • Rewarding good actors: Recognizing businesses with good compliance records and lowering their costs by reducing requirements, without compromising the environment health and safety, and other pro tections. • Electronic transmission guarantee: Providing businesses the option to electronically submit any required documentation to the Government of Ontario instead of more costly paper submissions.

• Reducing fees and other costs: Reviewing licence and registration fees paid with a goal of providing relief to small- and medium-sized businesses. Cutting unnecessary red tape is part of our plan to create jobs, grow our economy and help people in their everyday lives.

The Facts • Since 2011, burden reduction initiatives have saved Ontario businesses a total of $152 million and 6.5 million hours, surpassing the province’s goal to save businesses $100 million by the end of 2017. Ontario’s 2017 Burden Reduction Report features 20 government initiatives, including eight new projects that resulted in $22.5 million

“Cutting red tape, while maintaining the highest safety and environmental protections, is crucial to ensuring that our province’s business climate stays strong. This legislation is the product of collaboration across government and businesses to cut red tape. It builds upon the success of the Burden Reduction Act, 2017 and we look forward to continuing to foster a dynamic and innovative business environment by reducing unnecessary red tape for businesses in the province.” — Brad Duguid, Minister of Economic Development and Growth …continued on page 40

Building on the success of the Red Tape Challenge, this legislation demonstrates a positive commitment to ensure the ongoing competitiveness of businesses in our province. To remain competitive, the Government of Ontario must continue to update and modernize business regulations which promote business success and growth, develop the skills of our workforce, and incentivize innovation.” — Richard Koroscil, Interim President and CEO, Ontario Chamber of Commerce

in cost savings for businesses, and an additional $6.8 million saved through six previously announced projects (or multi-year initiatives) with ongoing impacts. • The Cutting Unnecessary Red Tape Act, 2017 supports Ontario’s five-year, $650-million Business Growth Initiative that is helping to grow the economy and create jobs by promoting an innovation-based economy, helping small companies scale-up and modernizing regulations for businesses. • The Burden Reduction Act, 2017 amended more than 50 statutes from 11 different ministries to reduce regulatory burdens and practices that cost businesses time and money, while protecting environmental and health standards and enhancing worker safety. The amendments will provide Ontario businesses up to $31 million in savings every year. • Ontario’s Red Tape Challenge is an innovative online platform to help identify and eliminate regulatory duplication, lessen compliance burdens, shorten response times and make it easier for businesses and citizens to interact with government. Since 2016, five sector consultations have been completed and the government is acting on 171 recommendations to reduce burdens for businesses.

businessbarometer

Confidence steadies in October

fter four months of decline, small business optimism improved slightly in October, according to the latest Business Barometer survey, released by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB).

The monthly index – based on a national survey which asks business owners how they expect their business to perform moving forward – inched up 0.3 points to 57.2 (out of 100). “Concerns about wage costs, taxes and regulations continue to be top of mind when business owners are asked about their costs and constraints of doing business,” said Ted Mallett, CFIB chief economist.“The end result remains a pretty sour picture across the country, with most provincial indexes clustered around the 55 mark.” As far as optimism by industry sector, there are a few bright spots: sentiment improved in the agriculture,

resources and retail sectors. For the remainder though – with the exception of professional services – optimism declined. “Other businesses indicators are continuing to lag: in particular, full-time hiring plans have tilted negative and only half of business owners are expecting to make capital investment plans in the next few months – low by historical standards,” added Mallett. October 2017 findings are based on 727 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through October 16. Findings are statistically accurate to +/3.6 per cent, 19 times in 20. 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. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small and mediumsized businesses, with 109,000 members across every sector and region. Visit cfib.ca.

A key factor to keep in mind when working with a mortgage broker involves the associated fees that are being charged. Fees can vary widely. The current interest rates for private first mortgages are anywhere between 7% to 11%. Typical private lender fees and broker fees for these private first mortgages are each in the 2% range. Second mortgages are yielding interest rates in the 12% to 16% range with typically a similar fee structure. If the loan amount is less than $50,000.00, you could look at private lender/ broker fees each in the range of 4% to 5%. The above fees reflect a "typical" general range which I have observed in the market. Please note that fees may be higher, especially when transactions become more complex or require an extraordinary amount of upfront work to set-up. Your mortgage investment, be it RRSPS or personal cash will receive monthly payments and upon closing your lender fee. The borrower is responsible for your legal fees. The associated costs to you the lender are virtually nil. The only costs may be an administration fee if your funds are in a plan for RRSP`S and potentially your own due diligence costs. If you are looking for a safe environment, yet want to obtain more than the 1% or 2% return that the banks are oﬀering, consider mortgage lending. If you would like to understand more about this investment direction and discuss it in more detail, I welcome you to contact Pro Funds Mortgages. Our extensive private lending experience and know how can help you achieve financial success.

Curating the commercial podium: Utilizing a holistic, community-focused approach for new mixed-use developments

etail spaces at the base of condo buildings are all too often an afterthought in many new condo developments, resulting in large, generic storefronts that are filled with big banks or chain stores. But a new mixed-use development called The Plant, located in Toronto’s Queen West neighbourhood is taking a more finegrained community-centred approach.

The Plant will be a 10-storey boutique condo development with streetfront retail, second floor office space and eight residential condo floors. The project is unique in the city as it incorporates urban agriculture into the design of the building. Shared amenities include an internal greenhouse, open-concept industrial style kitchen for food-related events, and a community outdoor garden.

Suites themselves are wide and shallow to maximize sun exposure, and each unit includes a terrace or balcony with ample space for plants. “Residents are encouraged to grow their own food and embrace a sustainable food culture as a way of building community within the building,”says Alex Speigel, partner at Windmill Development Group.“The area has a long history of food production so we wanted to incorporate that history into our project in an organic, sustainable way. We didn’t want to simply make another typical residential condo building.” The Plant is a joint development between Windmill Development Group and Curated Properties. Windmill has a solid track record of building mixed-use buildings and communities that are highly seasonably across Canada. Curated has a long established history of developing residential projects in the Queen West neighbourhood. Curated’s neighbourhood intel combined with Windmill’s focus on sustainability is a great blend of skill sets to ensure The Plant’s theme aligned with neighbourhood interests, as well as the history of the site at 41 Dovercourt Road. The future site of The Plant formally housed Dufflet

Bakery, one of Toronto’s pioneering food production brands, and more recently was the headquarters for Real Food for Real Kids, a catering company that provides healthy meals for 15,000 kids daily in the GTA. “The Plant is a community that fits with the foodie culture that has come to define the Queen West neighbourhood. We orientated this entire project around our connection to food. It’s our guiding principle and the result is a building that offers a better quality of life to the people who will live and work here,”says Adam Ochshorn, partner at Curated Properties. The project is being designed with 11,500 square feet of street front retail and 9,000 square feet of second floor office space. Developers are focusing on strategies to take the sustainable, healthy urban living theme into the commercial podium by reaching out to like-minded businesses and retailers to occupy the first and second floors.

is a stronger approach to enhancing community, an approach that makes sense to urban commercial centres. Reflecting the needs and ethos of residents in the commercial units they share a home with not only enhances the lifestyle of the neighbourhood, it essentially guarantees a built-in client base for businesses. “Our strategy is really about emphasizing the idea of a community-focused approach as a better way of city building,”says Speigel.“We hope that by aligning the values of both the residential and commercial components The Plant, we can create a truly holistic vertical community, and set a new standard for mixed-use developments in Toronto.” For more information visit theplantqueenwest.com or e-mail info@theplantqueenwest.com.

“We want to curate the tenants of the retail and office podium so that in turn they can support and enhance the overall theme of the rest of the building and truly to serve the lifestyle of the community we are building for,”says Speigel. “We are looking for a mix of independent and local brands like a cheese shop, bakery, juice or salad bar, bike store, plant store, or yoga studio. Businesses that epitomize how you can live in a healthy way in an urban environment.” Curating the retail and business element in a condominium

Toronto’s future transit links hold promise of substantial real estate investment Avison Young releases Topical Report “Transit Nodes of Tomorrow: Development Opportunities in the Greater Toronto Area”

he Greater Toronto Area (GTA) is projected to be Ontario’s fastest-growing region over the next 25 years with its population increasing by 42.3 per cent to reach 9.6 million by 2041.

14G COM

growth areas in the GTA will emerge at a number of transitoriented development hubs where there is a confluence of residential and commercial demand, creating significant opportunities for development and investment. These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s Topical Report: “Transit Nodes of Tomorrow: Development Opportunities in the Greater Toronto Area,” released recently. “Our topical report profiles four commercial growth areas that demonstrate the importance of transit connections to future development: East Harbour, Vaughan Metropolitan Centre, the Pearson Transit Centre and the Hurontario Light-Rail Transit corridor,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, principal and practice leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young.“With so much planned development on the drawing board and funding in place, this is a time of opportunity for forward-looking commercial property owners and occupiers.” The report concludes that rapid population growth and demand for commercial space will challenge government and private developers’ ability to deliver necessary infrastructure. However, strategic investment from both investor groups will provide significant opportunities for commercial property owners and occupiers to capitalize on the GTA’s growth. “The GTA has experienced extraordinary commercial and residential growth in recent years, and that trend looks set to continue and intensify in the coming decades,” says Argeropoulos.“The recent news that Toronto is vying for selection as the location of Amazon’s proposed $5-billion second headquarters in North America, and Google sister company Sidewalk Labs’ plan to build a high-tech neighbourhood called Sidewalk Toronto on the city’s waterfront, only serve to emphasize the importance of making investments in the city’s future to further increase its appeal to major global corporations.”

Supporting these projections, the provincial Ministry of Infrastructure made the largest infrastructure investment in Ontario’s history: more than $160 billion over 12 years, starting in 2014. Of these funds, 51 per cent will go toward improving roads and transit. Developers are also making significant investments in all types of residential and commercial real estate in locations connected with the expansion of public infrastructure that will be required to accommodate future population growth. Key commercial

Argeropoulos concludes: “The initiatives profiled in this report will all add to the Toronto region’s increasing profile on the world stage. We are hopeful that the commitments made by private stakeholders and all levels of government will ensure the success of these plans, helping to futureproof the GTA and setting an example for achieving its long-term growth and prosperity.” avisonyoung.com Avison Young was a winner of Canada’s Best Managed Companies program in 2011 and requalified in 2017 to maintain its status as a Best Managed Gold Standard company.
