EDITOR’S NOTE
WHAT TYPE OF HOME ARE YOU? Those of us who want to become homeowners often dream about the perfect house we’d like to live in, one that would meet all of our needs and cater to our wish list. Some people want lots of land, a spacious three-storey home with a sweeping open-hall plan, lots of bedrooms and a man-cave. Others prefer cosy and sweet, perhaps on one level with a chef’s kitchen and a small garden, while still others dream of a maintenance-free homeowning experience, the lockand-leave convenience of a stylish condo. It doesn’t matter if you’re looking for a first home or if you currently own one but want something that is more your ‘type’, there has never been a better time to find exactly what you are looking for. The Ottawa area is literally blooming with new builds, beautifully thought-out developments that strive to meet owners’ needs and wish lists. So grab a coffee, or a tea if that’s your thing, and slowly peruse the pages of NextHome + Condo Guide and discover the perfect ‘type’ of build that is waiting for you to call home.

SPOTLIGHT ON
CONDOS
Good things come in small packages – babies, puppies, kittens, stud earrings – and bathrooms. Don’t let the size of a room fool you into thinking there’s no way to make it function any better than it does. Eco-conscious living is becoming more prevalent, which means many homeowners have smaller spaces and homes versus large mansion-style houses, and a functional design doesn’t discriminate by size. A small space doesn’t mean you have to downsize your collection of hair care products, hairdryers, curling irons and other bathroom necessities. Just make sure you incorporate clever storage solutions in your small space. Choosing full cabinetry under the sink (even if it’s narrow) instead of a pedestal sink, amps up the storage possibilities. Open wood or glass shelves above the toilet can stylishly and neatly hold frequently used items and keep them at the ready. I’m a fan of high contrast and a firm believer that all spaces can benefit in some way from the use of colour, texture and pattern. Add interest through patterns on the floor or use polished or semi-polished large-scale tiles in varying tones or textures to bring in the glam, inject personality and make the space feel larger. Contrast polished elements with wood tones or intensely coloured vanities to express your personality. If you want a more monochromatic aesthetic, consider using various textures to create visual interest. Making it pretty is only half the battle, and you may want to consider hiring a professional to tackle that small space. The smaller the space, the more impact per sq. ft. (or inch) is required to get the biggest bang for your buck. Functional style is the name of the game to pack the biggest design punch and get the most out of your small space.

townhomes are “executivestyle”, boasting high-end finishes. Condominium terrace townhomes are “stacked”, with upper units providing a large balcony or rooftop patio instead of a yard.

CONDOS
actually a legal definition referring to the method of ownership, not the type of building. When you purchase a condo, the interior space of your home belongs to you. “Common elements” such as elevators, recreational facilities and outside grounds are jointly owned by you and the other homeowners in your condominium community. • Detached homes - A fully detached home provides the most privacy and often, the most space of any home type. New detached homes are commonly built on lot sizes between 35 and 60 feet, although some new-home builders may offer larger lot sizes. • Semi-detached homes - A semidetached home is joined to another home on one side. They often offer similar layouts and features as a detached home for a lower price, due to lower construction costs and marginally smaller lot sizes. If privacy is a concern, be sure to tour the builder’s homes to observe how sound travels from one home to the next. • Townhomes - Townhomes often offer more than you might expect. Many condominium
SPOTLIGHT ON
Buying a new home is an exciting process with a happy outcome – but few of us are able to find our dream home, delve into our bottomless pockets and move in the following day. While most of my clients have a fixed idea of the type of home they want before they begin searching, it’s common for buyers to change their minds mid-search. One client may realize they’re not as eager to mow a large lawn as they’d thought; another may discover the detached home they’d dreamed of is beyond their means. I encourage my clients to become familiar with the different property types on the market, and to keep an open mind. • Condominiums - Condos are often purchased by single people and couples without children. They offer a maintenance-free style of living, for which the owner pays a monthly maintenance fee known as condo fees. Condominiums tend to come with smaller or no outdoor spaces, but usually have an abundance of lifestyle amenities such as fitness studios, home theatres, hot tubs, rooftop terraces and party rooms. While we often associate condos with downtown highrises, they are increasingly popular in suburban areas; they may be townhomes, semis or even detached homes, and are common in adult-oriented gated communities.

PROPERTY PROFILE
FRESH FINALE TOWNHOMES As proof of the increasingly robust Ottawa real estate market, Greatwise Developments launched sales on Fresh Finale, the final phase in Fresh Towns community located in the west end, only three weeks ago – and within 10 days, the collection of 32 townhomes was 60 per cent sold. This incredible success follows hot on the heels of the first phase, which sold out in weeks. Phase two is now 90 per cent sold. “We knew there was demand for outstanding architecture, welldesigned layouts, and well-priced townhomes and the sales and ongoing interest proves our strategy,” says Derek Nzeribe, Milborne Group, who is managing sales at the Qualicum community. “We are predicting a complete sell-out by the end of November,” he adds. Recent Ottawa home sales reports indicate a busier-than-usual summer season, and a brisk start to fall sales. The Fresh Towns community is located at Baseline Road and 16 Eastern Ontario | Oct. 27–Nov. 10, 2018
Morrison Drive in Qualicum. Wellpriced street-related homes are in demand in this area by first-time buyers, families and downsizing couples seeking a desirable alternative to mid- and highrise condominiums. The Greatwise team invested a lot of time and thought into creating new designs that offer something for everyone. City towns are back-to-back homes with three finished levels. Each has a large balcony, two bedrooms and a private garage for two cars. Urban towns offer efficient space in a front-toback townhome layout with a back yard, two bedrooms and an oversized single garage. Adding to the selection within the Fresh Towns community, the Uptowns are spectacular, no-compromise townhomes at 29-ft. in width with a back yard, private rooftop terrace

and garages for one and two cars. Fresh Finale exteriors by Roderick Lahey Architects are timeless, fresh and crafted with respect for the area’s mid-century modern architectural heritage. The collection is characterized by clean lines, large windows and combinations of aluminum, Hardie board, wood and brick elements. Interiors by the Ottawa firm West of Main include standard finishes to rival those of detached homes. Among these are quartz countertops, stainlesssteel-finish appliances and soft-close cabinets. The value is incredible. Fresh Towns is in a leafy, peaceful residential neighbourhood where everyday amenities are close by, and Westboro and downtown Ottawa are minutes away.
The Presentation Studio is located at 2795 Baseline Road and is open Monday to Thursday 11 a.m. – 6 p.m.; Saturday & Sunday 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.; closed Friday. For information, visit freshtowns.ca or call 613.693.0808.

for the community to enjoy. There will also be a large open forecourt, terraces, new city park and additional retail outlets that will make this a community hub. St. Charles Market is now more than 70 per cent sold. Strong sales are a positive indication for us to continue on this path, building homes and workspaces for those with a keen eye for design and quality craftsmanship. THE GRID LOFTS
The Grid Lofts, Rooftop
something special and unique for the community we love, while preserving and bringing new life to an important landmark. Designed by Linebox Studio, one of the city’s leading architecture firms, St. Charles Market is an Ottawa original. The exterior of the new building will be clad in terracotta, with steel balconies that feature cutouts resembling the rosette pattern of the windows
of this neoclassical church. Coloured glass will identify the lobby, townhomes and groundfloor commercial spaces to complement the existing stainedglass windows of the heritage building that is currently the presentation gallery. When we are finished construction, the historic church, which sits at the centre of this project, will be transformed into a restaurant and marketplace
This fall we will launch The Grid Lofts at 92 Stonehurst Ave. The project is ideally situated a few blocks from Bayview Station (the main north/south, east/west hub of the new LRT), the future LeBreton Flats Development, and soon to be updated Laroche Park. Six corner suites at The Grid Lofts have been thoughtfully designed. An ensuite elevator opens directly into each home and also provides access to a spacious rooftop terrace overlooking Laroche Park, the Ottawa River and downtown. These homes will offer an industrial yet refined take on urban living, and residents will reap the benefits of an area that is being completely transformed.

AFFORDABILITY TOPS CONCERNS AS REAL ESTATE SECTOR FOCUSES ON SUPPLY
A report recently released by PriceWaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Canada and the Urban Land Institute (ULI) suggests the real estate industry is monitoring tariff negotiations around steel and rising interest rates to see how it may affect housing affordability issues for Canadians. According to the 2019 Emerging Trends in Real Estate report published Oct. 10, developers, investors, lenders and other leading experts are cautiously optimistic. RESIDENTIAL REAL ESTATE
Land supply is the number one development concern heading into 2019 and the report suggests that all levels of government need to focus on the supply side of the issue, not just demand. The Edmonton and Montreal markets managed to bring new housing supply into balance with rising prices, but Toronto and Vancouver have not yet done so. “Dealing with the affordability issue is a shared responsibility between government and developers,” says Frank Magliocco, national real estate leader, PwC Canada. “While government addressed demand by introducing measures like tighter mortgage rules and foreign taxes, they neglected the supply side. Reducing regulation and making more land available for development in a timely manner will help address the affordability issue.” Richard Joy, executive director, ULI Toronto says the real estate industry is at a crossroads and it has started working with other sectors in order to thrive. “We’re seeing more and more collaboration 26 Eastern Ontario | Oct. 27–Nov. 10, 2018
between architects, construction companies and the technology sector working to redefine how Canadians live.” The proportion of household income needed to service the costs of a single-family home grew to 53.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2018, with Vancouver leading the charge with 119.3 per cent. High housing costs are pushing many Canadians, especially Millennials, to abandon the dream of owning a house in the city and instead, they are opting for the suburbs or other markets to find something more affordable. Rising interest rates and higher tariffs on foreign steel are top-of-mind for developers and owners. For example, tariffs on steel could translate into more expensive input costs for residential and commercial builders, ultimately putting further pressure on affordability. Drones were the top real estate disrupter identified in the report. There is potential in using drones to show job-site progress, and others are looking to integrate docking stations into communities to accommodate last-mile delivery needs. Autonomous vehicles, cybersecurity and construction technology were also identified as top technology real estate disruptors. The report also identified other factors such as GDP growth and affordability issues impacting the different real estate markets across Canada. The top five markets to watch in 2019 are: Toronto, Vancouver, Montreal, Ottawa and Quebec City.
