Peter GilGan Foundation donates $100 million largest sinGle gift ever to sickkids Last week, an unprecedented gift of $100 million donated by the Peter Gilgan Foundation, was announced at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids). This is the largest single gift ever to SickKids.

Together with donations made to other hospitals and health-care organizations to date, this makes Peter Gilgan and the Peter Gilgan Foundation the largest benefactor to health care in Canada.

This $100 million gift will support the SickKids VS Limits campaign, a key element of which involves redevelopment of the SickKids campus, including building a new patient care tower on University Avenue, which will be named the Peter Gilgan Family Patient Care Tower.

“We are extraordinarily grateful to Peter Gilgan and the Peter Gilgan Foundation for their ongoing philanthropic leadership and dedication to SickKids.

Our vision for the children’s hospital of the future includes the construction of a state-ofthe-art building, matching our world-class care with familyfriendly spaces for patients and their loved ones. This gift is unparalleled and will help ensure our vision becomes reality,” says Dr. Ronald Cohn, President and CEO, SickKids. “In conjunction with a commitment from the Government of Ontario, and support from other donors, this gift will help SickKids continue to advance children’s health through exemplary clinical care, breakthrough research, and 2 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

Peter Gilgan, Founder of Mattamy Homes, lays a ceremonial brick at SickKids after $100 million gift announcement.

teaching excellence both at home and around the world.”

According to a media release from SickKids, the hospital is a leader in paediatric health, yet the buildings do not reflect the quality of care provided for the over 150,000 patients seen each year. When SickKids was built at 555 University Avenue in 1949, the building was the largest children’s hospital in the world. In 1993, nearly 25 years ago, the Hospital expanded with the opening of the Atrium building at 170 Elizabeth Street. But medical treatments and technology have come a long way since the 1940s or even the 1990s, making it more important than ever before for the hospital to evolve to fully realize the possibilities in children’s health.

For SickKids to remain a world leader in paediatric health, the time to realize a fully redeveloped campus is now.

“To continue to have the opportunity to support SickKids is an honour and is also very

humbling,” says Peter Gilgan. “I’m in a privileged position to be able to make this gift, and I know it’s going to be used to help children today and in the future live longer and healthier lives. I want to thank my family, both the Gilgans and my Mattamy family, whose unwavering support over many years has made this commitment possible.”

SickKids will break ground in October 2019 on the first of two buildings. The first building, the Patient Support Centre, will house the SickKids Learning Institute with 1,200 world-class trainees, a Simulation Centre for hands-on teaching, and provide 6,000 professionals, management and support staff with up-to-date spaces to do their best work. The second building, the Peter Gilgan Family Patient Care Tower, will house critical care and inpatient units.

Last week’s donation brings the cumulative giving from the Peter Gilgan Foundation to SickKids to more than $140 million.

Editor’s notE

The STreSS-TeST BlueS The federal government is getting more heat about its mortgage stress test, this time from Mortgage Professionals Canada (MPC), the national mortgage industry association representing mortgage brokers, lenders, insurers and industry service providers.

A new report from MPC Chief Economist Will Dunning outlines in detail how stress tests have contributed to a decline in housing activity in Canada, including the construction of low-rise homes which are now in the process of a downturn.

“Each housing start that is lost has an economic impact that is 10 times greater than for each lost resale transaction,” said Dunning.

“The adjustments for new construction occur quite gradually. The economic impacts have barely begun, will develop slowly, and won’t be fully experienced until the second half of 2021.”

MPC said in a news release that the report is a plea to the federal government to start considering changes quickly to avoid the consequences.

“For some time, our association and others have emphasized that the major defect within the stress tests is that they fail to consider the income growth that will be experienced by the mortgage borrowers,” said Paul Taylor, President and CEO of MPC. “At two percentage points above the actual contracted rates, the stress tests on insured and uninsured mortgages are causing serious and undue negative impacts to the Canadian economy and to the housing market. We advocate for prudent amendments to the current framework. This includes a stress test of 0.75 percentage points to account for higher income and reduced mortgage principal.”

What happens When GroWth pays for More than What GroWth Costs

Dave Wilkes

Under More Housing, More Choice: Ontario’s Housing Supply Action Plan, the provincial government is proposing changes that will introduce a new community benefit framework.

This will roll together the existing parkland charges, Section 37 payments (where municipalities negotiate community benefits in return for allowing increased height and density for individual projects) and the services costs currently captured under development charges. This new “community benefit framework” would cap these costs and link it to the value of the land 12 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

to be developed, as opposed to individual negotiations. For prospective new homebuyers, these changes are designed to bring the cost paid by new homeowners more in-line with the cost incurred by municipalities to accommodate the growth.

Currently under various provincial statutes, municipalities can levy a variety of charges and fees to new development. This power was brought into being under the planning concept that “growth should pay for growth”, a concept that is difficult to conceptually argue against.

The notion is that if the costs of infrastructure or services are being driven by the addition of new residents then the new development should bear the costs. However, since the mid2000s the costs for these types of

charges on new housing have risen exponentially to almost a thousand per cent (depending on the municipality and type of charge) underscoring three problems with the concept in action.

1. There is rarely a straight correlation between the housing unit, the incremental cost of services driven by the occupant of that unit and the costs added by the municipality.

For example, currently in the City of Toronto a bachelor condominium apartment will attract a charge in excess of $9,000 to support transit, regardless of whether the prospective owner takes the TTC or not. Clearly one or two more fare-paying riders do not add nearly $10,000 in costs for the transit authority. …continued on page 14

2. Many of these charges are linked to the price of land, and as land values have increased over 300 per cent since 2006, these charges have equally skyrocketed. As land prices are also being impacted by government policy that restricts land availability (2006 Growth Plan and Growth Plan for the Greater Golden Horseshoe 2017) new homebuyers experience a double affordability whammy of escalating costs, driven by regulation driving land up and municipal charges that based on escalated land values.

3. Some municipalities are limiting property tax increases to rates at or below the rate of inflation, regardless of the cost to actually provide services and infrastructure to residents.

As a consequence, these 14 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

municipalities have a built in incentive to load as much cost on future residents who aren’t in place to vote versus existing residents who are.

Currently, across the GTA, 22 per cent of the cost of an average single-family home, and 24 per cent of the cost of a new highrise apartment are composed of fees, taxes and charges applied by all levels of government. While HST is the single largest individual government tax, municipal parkland dedication fees and development charges combined exceed the provincial/federal sales tax and drive housing prices.

It’s easy for some, usually those on the receiving end of the funds, to stand back and claim that these fees and taxes are “essential planning tools”. The reality is that they are revenue tools that shift costs from the entire property tax

base to new homebuyers and result in planning by financial negotiation rather than planning for best possible use.

BILD does support the concept that growth should pay for growth, but clearly, new homebuyers are being disproportionately targeted for service and infrastructure that benefit all. So today, growth is paying for more than what growth costs.

Cover Story

Live on prestgious University AvenUe at the United bUilding In the City of Toronto, University Avenue has long stood as a celebrated thoroughfare that embraces a microcosm of the city’s urbanization. The United Building

by Davpart Inc. is coming soon to 481 University Avenue, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in a new residence in the tallest architectural heritage retention development in North America.

Registrations are now being taken for those interested in living in this mixed-use redevelopment, which will feature a rare collection of 16 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

condominium residences atop two of the existing commercial/office/ retail buildings. These historic structures are part of the Maclean Publishing Company/MacleanHunter complex, which formed the heart of Canada’s publishing industry during much of the 20th century.

Over those years, the buildings introduced the Beaux-Arts, Modern Classical, Mid-century Modern and International Modern styles to the avenue, as well as featuring an interwar-era

commercial complex blending an industrial facility at the base of an office building. With the help of B+H Architects and heritage consultant ERA Architects, Davpart is going to extreme lengths to preserve the exteriors of the buildings constructed in 1928 and 1961. Spanning the architectural trends of Toronto’s past, present and future, The United Building will usher in a new era of prominence for this ceremonial thoroughfare.

The United Building will retain commercial office and retail space

in the restored heritage structure up to the 10th floor, from which a new 44-storey residence will rise.

The interiors will be removed to make space for parking and retail floors below grade. The United Building follows a North American trend of combining residential space on a thoroughfare that has been primarily institutional in the past. In keeping with the high-end nature of this project, Davpart enlisted Tomas Pearce Interior Design Consulting Inc. for the interiors.

Tomas Pearce-designed residential amenities carry through the classic yet contemporary flair of this building’s exterior. The niceties that will form an important aspect of residents’ day-to-day lives include a luxurious lobby featuring 24/7 concierge service.

Amenities extend to a stunning

pool with a fireplace, an indoor/ outdoor pool deck with sun loungers, a wellness-focused fitness centre, sauna and rain room overlooking the courtyard.

Sports-lovers will appreciate The United Building’s sports lounge with billiards, video gaming lounge, bocce court and golf simulator. For relaxation from the hectic urban pace of the surroundings, an all-season reflecting pool with warming pavilions and seating, along with a Zen garden will offer perfect spaces for quiet reflection.

Entertaining will be a breeze with the beautifully appointed party room, fireplace lounge and barbecue dining on the terrace.

In addition to the prestige inherent in a University Avenue address, a true avenue of abundance, residents of The

RENTING OUT YOUR CONDONDOMINIUM

by JacqUElINE MONETa JD wITh assIsTaNcE fROM JaYsON schwaRz llM Buying a condominium as a rental property can be a great investment, but now that you’re a landlord, it’s important to understand the rules and regulations that govern you and your tenant.

What ruLeS appLy?

All landlords and tenants are governed by the Residential Tenancy Act, 2006 (RTA). The RTA outlines the rights and responsibilities of landlords and of tenants who rent residential properties. It also covers the leasing agreement and issues such as maintenance and repairs, tenancy agreements, rent, entering a rental unit and ending a tenancy.

In a condo building, the Condominium Act, 1998 also applies. The Condominium Act 20 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

sets out the relationship between the owners, condo corporation and board of directors.

This means that you have to give your tenants a copy of the condo rules and make sure they adhere to them. The condominium corporation may have its own rules on rentals as well, which could include a minimum number of months for the rental and other obligations. It is important to read your condo rules prior to entering any lease agreement.

Do tenantS have acceSS to amenitieS?

Tenants must follow the same rules as owners, and have the same rights as owners when using building amenities.

However, parking spaces and/ or lockers can be included in the

lease agreement at the discretion of the unit owner. Owners can choose to retain those for themselves or rent them to another tenant. hoW much can you charge?

When you’re renting a unit to a new tenant, you can set the rent based on current market prices.

There is no maximum. The market price for a unit may be higher than that paid by a previous tenant.

The RTA covers most types of rental units. Generally, landlords can increase rent: • only once every 12 months; • with 90 days written notice; and • based on the guidelines set for that year by the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing. …continued on page 22

SubLetting anD Shortterm rentaLS

What if your company sends you for three months of training in another city? It is becoming more and more popular to list your condo on a short-term rental site to make some money while you are away.

Be careful; lots of new condos have specific rules governing short-term rentals, such as a minimum number of months on a lease. When buying an income property, it is important to read the rules prior to firming up your deal, and express this intention clearly to your realtor 22 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

and lawyer. These rules prevent owners from converting their units into a vacation rental. Condo declarations can also spell out requirements, such as each unit shall be occupied and used only as a private single-family residence.

If you’re renting out a unit for a longer term, any tenants have to abide by the terms of the rules and declaration, too. Therefore, a tenant cannot lease the unit out for short-term stays.

If you decide to sublet your unit, notify your insurance company to see if and how your policy covers damage caused by tenants.

When renting out your condo unit, you are responsible

for following the rules of the corporation. Always check the rules to make sure you’re not in violation. Make it clear in your rental agreement that your tenant is bound by the condo rules, and give them a copy.

A condo can make a great investment, but you’ll save time and money if you put in some work at the beginning to understand your rights and responsibilities as a landlord.

Mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the web site (schwarzlaw.ca), email (info@schwarzlaw.ca) and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

if You’re WorrIEd about NEW HomE PrICEs GoinG Down, reaD This

Ben mYers

I’ve been employed doing real estate research on the Toronto market since 2002. In almost every year during that stretch, the average new home price has increased year-over-year.

However, according to official data from BILD, the local home builders’ association, single-family house prices have declined yearover-year, and condominium apartment prices have softened from the rapid growth in 2017 and 2018.

Despite the softening, unless you’ve won Lotto 649, new home prices in Toronto are still very expensive. With prices so high, it’s natural to ask, is there a major correction coming? No one wants to buy something and immediately see the value of the item drop.

The government has taken steps to cool housing demand by implementing a mortgage stress test which has reduced many buyer’s access to credit, which lowers ownership demand. The government also instituted rent control, which they expected might reduce investor demand, as returns on hold-and-rent properties would be lower. They were right, and both new and resale transactions dropped noticeably in 2018. However, the decrease in ownership demand resulted in increased rental 24 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

demand, which caused a spike in rental rates for vacated properties last year. For 2019, Rentals.ca has forecast another 10 per cent increase in average rents in the former City of Toronto.

To further combat the rising cost of living, the provincial government wants to improve affordability for both ownership and rental housing by helping increase housing supply via changes to planning policies in their proposed Bill 108. The reaction to the bill has not been positive, especially from the Toronto planning department.

Some of the government fees and charges on new developments are used to improve local parks, build community recreation centres, and improve transit. Bill 108 could alter and potentially reduce those fees. These are needed services and community benefits, but the costs are often passed directly to new home buyers or tenants in new developments. Municipalities are faced with the conundrum of underfunding services, or contributing to worsening the housing affordability crisis. Tough one, eh?

Unfortunately, people much smarter than me have predicted that even if Bill 108 goes through, housing supply will not increase.

In other words, more of the same: more demand than supply, and higher prices.

I believe more rigorous analysis is needed before a definitive conclusion as to the amount of future housing supply we might get under Bill 108, the level

of analysis has been shallow, and lacking hard data. A more meticulous analysis would look at the impact on a developer’s revenue and costs, while considering planning, land values, financing, construction, and other strains on capacity.

However, if I was a betting man, I’d say the underfunding of services won’t be allowed to happen, and house prices will continue to go up, as new home buyers and tenants bear this cost.

This may not make you feel great about buying in the short-term, but if you’re buying for the longterm, demand will continue to be strong as high immigration, job growth, and high post-secondary enrollment attract more people to the region, while no changes are made to increase supply.

Before buying, make sure to surround yourself with a team of experts, including a realtor that specializes in the new-home market, a mortgage broker, and a lawyer. Lastly, buy what you can afford, and do a lot of research.

the humber offers affordable ownership next to an urban oasis

“ ”

We had resigned ourselves to renting forever

Sheena McDonald and Adam Vandeven and their daughter at the Options for Homes presentation centre at 1984 Weston Road at Lawrence Ave.

Life changed for Sheena McDonald and Adam Vandeven one morning last fall. Out for breakfast with friends, the conversation turned to Toronto’s favourite topic: real estate. Thirtysomething working professionals with an infant, the couple felt as though homeownership in Toronto was no longer possible for people like them.

Over eggs, a friend casually mentioned they’d purchased at The Humber – an upcoming condo community from Options for Homes on the banks of the Humber River in Weston Village – and their interest was piqued. If their peer could afford to buy in Toronto, could they?

“We were in the same boat as a lot of people who live in Toronto,” says Sheena. “We had resigned ourselves to renting forever. So, when we learned that purchasing could actually be possible with Options, we jumped as quickly as possible.”

Sheena and Adam discovered that Options offered a down payment loan of up 15 per cent on the threebedroom suite they were interested in. That boost was just enough to help them lower their mortgage and make purchasing a home big enough for their growing family possible. They purchased a 988-sqfoot condo with nine-foot ceilings and river views for $651,466.

Being new parents added to their sense of urgency.

“Once we had a baby, the idea of homeownership 26 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

became a lot more desirable, just to have that sense of security,” Sheena says.

The couple was drawn to The Humber’s location next to expansive greenspace, community amenities like Artscape Weston Commons and the Weston Farmers’ Market, and proximity to the UP Express – a huge help to Adam who recently landed his dream job as an Air Canada pilot. “It’s only 15 minutes to Terminal 1, which, for me, is incredibly convenient,” he says.

They were also excited by the prospect of community – both staying within Toronto, which they love and are not willing to leave, and the community that Options is known for fostering.

Sheena recounts being at one of Options’ Condos 101 information sessions and hearing that the developer doesn’t sell to investors. “They said they want families to live there and to build a sense of community. That was important to me,” Sheena says, adding she knew first-hand that the claim was true.

“We have friends who live at Heintzman Place (a previous Options community) and they say that sense of community actually does exist. I feel like that’s special and rare.

Keystone Condos: All the Benefits of Boutique living in downtown Mississauga There’s a reason why Keystone Condos offers unparalleled value in downtown Mississauga: it places key amenities right at your fingertips while still giving you all the benefits of living in a peaceful intimate community. By uniquely pairing urban convenience with the tranquility found only in a boutique building, it provides the best of both worlds—and at a price that’s truly affordable. Discover why Keystone Condos is the serene yet central home you’ve been searching for.

URban amEnITIEs aT YOUR dOORsTEP

At Keystone, you don’t have to go far to enjoy an active lifestyle, spend quality time with family, or just kick back and relax at the end of a long day. In fact, in this family-friendly community, you’ll have access to a range of unique lifestyle amenities right at home.

For example, you can work up a sweat in the fitness centre, perfect your downward dog in the yoga studio, or cool off in the private outdoor pool in the summer.

Hosting a party? Take advantage of the party room, BBQ patio, games room, and media room. You can even make everyday life easier by connecting in the study lounge, playing with your kids in the kids zone, and using the pet wash station after walking the dog.

Because of Keystone’s prime location in downtown Mississauga, you’ll also enjoy the convenience of having restaurants, entertainment, retail, and public transit just steps from home. Grab a bite at Scaddabush, Earl’s, or Bier

Markt; celebrate the weekend at Cineplex or Playdium; and stock up on essentials at Whole Foods, Metro, the LCBO, and Square One. When you live at Keystone, you don’t have to imagine living close to everything you need. It’s your everyday reality. cOnvEnIEncE OF bOUTIqUE LIvIng

Having easy access to urban amenities usually means living in a large, high-density community with thousands of other residents. But because Keystone is a boutique condo with only 202 suites, you’ll live in a prime location while enjoying a higher quality of life at a price you can afford. After all, with fewer fellow residents, you’ll spend less time waiting for elevators, an available treadmill, or a lounge chair on the rooftop terrace. It’ll also be easier to book the party room for your preferred date and pick up your latest online shopping package from the concierge. And with dedicated traffic lights at the main road, you’ll find it quicker to hop in your car and head out to wherever you want to go.

REsTORaTIvE TRanqUILITY

Because of the rapid growth in downtown Mississauga, many new condo communities are located in busy neighbourhoods and surrounded by long-term construction projects. Tucked away from this congestion and noise on a tranquil ravine lot, Keystone offers the peace and quiet you crave at the end of a busy week. Soak up the natural beauty of the adjacent greenspace and trail system while still being steps away from Mississauga’s city centre.

FROM LOW-RISE TO CONDO BaRBaRa LaWLOR

If you have purchased a newconstruction condominium in Toronto or the Greater Toronto Area, congratulations! You have made a wise decision and investment in your lifestyle future. Many of you are likely the owners of low-rise homes that you plan to sell, and buying pre-construction means you have time to make the most of that real estate transaction. Your 30 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

first consideration should be to make your house as attractive as possible to potential purchasers.

Certainly a good real estate agent can guide you in the sale. In the meantime, here are a few tips to help you wrap your mind around getting the most for your lovely home.

Fix obvious defects. Even small things can turn off those who tour your house with buying in mind. Are there loose baseboards?

Cupboard doors that hang crookedly? Doors that do not close properly? Nail holes in the walls? A bit of effort now can make a big difference in the price you

actually get for your home.

Keep it clean. If people touring your home notice dirt in the corners and stained carpeting, they will wonder how well you have taken care of the rest of the house. Make an effort to clean your home every day, or hire someone to come in and do it for you. This includes cleaning windows until they sparkle.

De-clutter. The more “stuff” you have sitting around within view, the more your home looks smaller to viewers. They need to see that there is plenty of space for their belongings, so empty shelves and surfaces are the goal. Plus, you will

likely have to purge items anyway to make the most of space in your new suite. It’s win-win!

Set the table. Take some time to create a lovely, welcoming ambience with settings that include matching dishes, and add some fresh flowers in a pretty centerpiece.

Spiff up your interiors. How about new knobs on your kitchen cupboards or new throw cushions on the sofa? Touch up paint where needed, and Consider hiring a stager. Having an outside person come in and stage your home can make you a lot more money in the long

run than you pay out. These professionals understand exactly how to entice potential buyers by making the home as inviting and appealing as possible. If you are décor-challenged, turn to the professionals for help!

Pay attention to the exterior.

Curb appeal can make the difference between someone getting out of the car to tour your home…or not. Tidy your lawn and gardens. Mow, trim, weed and do whatever else you can to beautify your surroundings. Repair any obvious problems such as loose patio stones, shutters and the like.

In the winter, shovel sidewalks and

the driveway. Think about some little touches such as installing new house numbers or a fresh new door mat.

The point is to make your home look welcoming and move-in ready. Once you sell, you can get prepared for a lifestyle of convenience and ease in your new condo, which will be move-in ready to the ultimate degree!

M City is Project of the Year!

It’s been just two years since Rogers Real Estate Development Limited and Urban Capital launched the groundbreaking master-planned community in downtown Mississauga—M City.

The anniversary was celebrated with high accolades as M City won the pinnacle industry award of Project of the Year – Highrise at the annual Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) awards gala, representing residential construction across the GTA. “We are honoured to receive this award,” says John Anderton, Vice-President, Treasurer of the Rogers Private Companies.

34 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

“Realizing that the scale and reach of this development would have a massive impact on Mississauga, we have focussed on ensuring that M City would bring dynamic character and remarkable architecture to Mississauga that would be embraced and appreciated by its residents and the community.”

While this award of distinction is quite exciting in itself, there is much to celebrate at M City. At the twoyear mark, the community has hit a significant construction milestone: multiple cranes erected on site as M City’s flagship towers M1 and M2 are set to rise. The anniversary also

aligned with another milestone: the release of the podium suites in M3, the third tower at M City. At 81 storeys, M3 is the tallest building ever proposed in Mississauga and among the tallest in the entire GTA. Since the initial market launch in November 2018, the 917-unit M3 building is over 80 per cent sold. Taken together, overall sales across the first three phases of M City have surpassed 2,200 units since launching in Spring 2017.

“M City has proven time and time again that the future of Mississauga is now,” says Anderton. “M City is the first residential development for the Rogers family and our goal is to

develop a world-class community befitting any city in the world.

Our success to date validates our unwavering belief in Mississauga and continued commitment to delivering cutting-edge design. We are resetting expectations of what development looks like in Canada’s sixth largest city.”

The 15-acre site spanning M City’s master-planned community is a long-held Rogers family asset, dating back to the 1960s, when the land was originally purchased as a potential site for a radio-transmission facility. Plans to develop the property into a mixed-use, urban community were inspired by the City of Mississauga’s Downtown21 Master Plan.

Assembling a world-class design team, Rogers Real Estate Development Limited chose Urban Capital to lead the development team including top Canadian architectural firms CORE Architects and IBI Group, interior designers Cecconi Simone, and New York-based urban planning firm Cooper Robertson, among other top-tier engineers and consultants.

“From day one, the development team has committed to investing in world-class design. The signature aesthetic delivered by our architects and designers has helped establish M City as one of the preeminent developments in the GTA,” says Mark Reeve, Partner, Urban Capital Property Group. “I’m very proud of our tremendous team. Together, we continue to push the envelope and deliver a dynamic community that Mississauga will be proud of. We want to help put this city on the map as one of the most progressive, forward-thinking and creative places in the world.”

Ground-breakinG of Wonder Condos offers a Glimpse of the past Construction at Leslieville’s new landmark address, Wonder Condos, is now underway after a commemorative ground-breaking ceremony last month. Once home to the Weston Bread Factory at the corner of Eastern and Logan Avenues, the building will undergo one of Toronto’s largest structural heritage preservations, converting and adapting the existing form into new residences, hard lofts and commercial space within Wonder – an eight-storey residential condominium.

The ground-breaking comes on the heels of the 2019 BILD awards, where Wonder took home the award for the best mid-rise building design.

“Wonder isn’t just a nod to the history of this building, but a testament to its future. It’s an optimistic word that encourages you to imagine all the possibilities,” says Graywood President and CEO Stephen Price. “When you look at the near-term future of Leslieville, 36 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

the new transit that is planned, the promise of the Unilever site, the new automotive innovation hub and Netflix Studios that are coming, you foresee a community that is poised to rival any other in the city and the country.

Graywood, Alterra and the design team worked with the City’s Heritage Preservation Services to ensure the appropriate conservation of this historic property during its conversion, considering everything from window size and programming to the new materials being introduced. “Wonder is a strong example of just how much can be accomplished with an adaptive, re-use project,” says Alterra President and CEO Robert Cooper.

“This transformation will ensure a Leslieville landmark remains a part of the local fabric for decades to come.”

This heritage element affords unique features and amenities for residents, from the gym to

the co-working lounge and the multipurpose family room. The convivial co-working lounge on the ground floor is designed to speak to the many creatives, makers and entrepreneurs in Leslieville offering a space for residents to meet and collaborate.

With Queen Street East’s distinct blend of urban amenities and small-town feel, Wonder residents will also have access to everything that makes the area so desirable, while also benefiting from the innovative new plans that are slated to surround this east Toronto location.

Due to Wonder’s phenomenal success, the Wonder presentation centre is now closed – however, a limited number of suites, including heritage lofts, are still available.

Get your GOOP ON! INSPIRATION |

by SARA DUCK

GOOP MRKT makes its debut in Toronto

This setup is from the Austin, Texas goop MRKT.

If you follow GP on IG, never miss a goop newsletter and wax lyrical about non-toxic skin care, you, my meditating friend, are a bonafide “goopie,” and I have some news for you. goop MRKT will be launching a 1,300-sq. ft. pop-up store inside the posh Hazelton Hotel in Yorkville. From June 7 to Sept. 22, you can shop and admire the lifestyle brand’s carefully curated collection of home, fashion, beauty, wellness and speciality items. To bring this pop-up to fruition, goop chose international design firm 42 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

Yabu Pushelberg. With offices in Toronto and New York, this firm has worked with the crème-dela-crème, including Tiffany & Co., and Paris’ Printemps. “Creating the right tone for the pop-up has been an interesting process, a coming together of the psyche of what Toronto is all about with the strong personality of the goop brand,” says George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg. With an emphasis on The 6ix, along with goop’s windfall branding, this pop-up is sure to be a top shopping destination this summer.

DATES: June 7 to Sept. 22, 2019 LOCATION: goop MRKT Toronto 118 Yorkville Avenue STORE HOURS: Monday to Saturday: 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Petite Patio Kalu InterIors help you create the perfect outdoor lIvIng room for your small space.

With summer upon us, it’s time to start considering your outdoor spaces and expanding your living and entertaining from inside out. this is especially true when it comes to condos and townhouses – where space is at a premium. the main idea when creating your small space is to imagine your outdoor area as a direct extension of your interior living. the result? a perfect summer oasis!

44 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

Dining and seating

For small patio spaces, it’s always important to try and source doublepurpose items. For instance, an outdoor chair with an ottoman can be placed against one another to create a lounger. Flexibility is key! In most cases, an outdoor tall bistro table (bar height) or small rectangular table will be the best fit, as they’re usually a smaller footprint, and help to maximize your view. Also, make sure the chairs or stools tuck nicely into the table.

Greenery

When in doubt, go green! Choose a mix of pots and planters. Lush greenery and plants will be a great escape from your concrete surroundings. At Kalu, we like a combination of artificial hedges to create privacy and low-maintenance potter herbs, which can be useful for cooking in the kitchen as well.

Accessories

Don’t be afraid to treat your outdoor area as you would your living room.

There’s a wide array of “in-out” accessories and furnishings available at most outdoor suppliers. From outdoor-treated cushions to candles, lanterns, and even art, all of these items add an “indoor” look outside.

Also, consider utilizing colours and accents on the exterior that you might find on the interior of your home for one cohesive look.

Award winning interior designers Phyllis Lui and Aleem Kassam are the principal designer duo for Kalu Interiors.

For more than a decade this Vancouver-based design firm has become known for its focus on creating thoughtfully curated interiors that enhance and inspire how you live. The firm provides bespoke design services for clientele throughout Canada. kaluinteriors.com

Coming this Fall to Hamilton

Function

The first thing you will need to determine is the primary function of your small space. Do you want to create an area for lounging, dining, entertaining, or even privacy from your neighbours? Once you have the focus of your space, you can start the design layout. We like to start from the ground up. A personal favourite of ours is using artificial grass or turf.

In urban areas, where we typically find condos and townhouses, it can bring some greenery into an otherwise concrete jungle. Alternatively, interlocking wood tiles for balconies and patios are also a great solution.

Bathroom refresh Designer Jaclyn Harper shares easy tips for updating a bathroom into a fresh, inviting space.

by Jaclyn Harper

THE PLAN When planning out our bathroom makeover, I looked at a few different configurations to maximize the space. But, since we ended up buying a new house, I knew I needed to keep this reno looking fabulous, but on a strict budget. The layout of the space would have to stay as is, so that we wouldn’t need to move any plumbing, and we could get things started right away.

TILE The true inspiration for this bathroom came from the tiles.

I instantly fell in love with the unique pattern of the Avery tiles from StoneImpressions. I started playing with the idea of using the tile as a feature wall and didn’t look back. The design on each individual tile looked so handcrafted and luxurious, it really set the tone for the space.

And, they were a quick-ship option, arriving right to my door. …continued on page 52 50 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

RENO TIP! if you’re looking to install a toilet in a trailer, a cottage, a basement or anywhere else that typically requires you to move plumbing, the Saniflo Sanicompact allows you to quickly and easily add a new bathroom without any major construction!

There is no need to break the concrete or move plumbing lines because the Sanicompact can tie into your existing lines.

The best part about this system is the tankless design, which makes it great for smaller spaces – and looks very modern, too. Sounds pretty great, right? i thought so.

…continued from page 50

VANITY I went with the 60-inch Ashburn Vanity from Foremost, available online at The Home Depot Canada. It is the perfect size for our space and the colour is gorgeous. My favourite part? It has feet!

It really looks like a piece of furniture more than a bathroom vanity. We decided to add an additional sink and this vanity became instantly more functional.

FAUCETS & HARDWARE When it came to our faucets, I decided to go with a matte black finish. The fact that the faucets don’t match the hardware on the vanity adds an interesting combination of metals to the space. I highly recommend mixed metals in your next bathroom reno! This also allowed me to incorporate a polished nickel shower head and some polished nickel in our vanity light. We ordered towel racks and our toilet paper holder in the same matte black collection from Pfister, exclusive to The Home Depot Canada.

historical havens compiled by susan legge

The church-conversion and preservation trend is continuing across the GTA in a major way. Here are two of the newest projects: the first, a 111-year-old church in Toronto’s High Park neighbourhood, the other, a condominium that will integrate the façade of a downtown Hamilton landmark church built in 1878.

high Park church lofts and condos retains and repurposes historical building elements At the corner of Annette St. and High Park Ave. in Toronto, Medallion Capital Group is converting the former Alhambra Church into lofts and surrounding it with a new four-storey condo residence.

The new loft project’s design retains and repurposes the elements of historical value in the heritage building, while introducing a new addition gracefully to the main sanctuary.

The unique Church Lofts feature large stained-glass windows and vaulted ceilings. Top-of-the-line condominium amenities range from a striking courtyard entrance to a chic lobby featuring 24/7 attentive concierge service; a multi-purpose lounge with twoway fireplace, full custom built-in kitchen, private dining room with a walkout to a private outdoor amenity garden; a complete fitness centre with state-ofthe-art cardio equipment, yoga studio, sauna and private change rooms; and a custom landscaped rooftop amenity area with lounge barbecue and fire pit. …continued on page 60

The Church Lofts are available in sizes from 837 to 3,081 square feet, priced from $999,900 to $3 million+.

The new residences from 632 to 2,567 square feet are priced from $750,000 to $2.2 million. Choices range from one-bedroom to three-bedroom + den layouts. Ground-breaking is slated for this summer. For more info visit 260highpark.com 56 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019

connolly fuses historic church façade with contemporary design …continued from page 56

After standing derelict for years, the James Street Baptist Church at the corner of James St. S. and Jackson St. W. is being resurrected as a contemporary destination in Hamilton’s downtown core.

Blending the famed church façade with modern architecture, Connolly, by Hue Developments and LCH Developments, will become a marquee 30-storey mixed-use tower with residential units, a ground floor commercial space, amenities and one of Canada’s first fully automated parking systems.

Nestled in the Durand neighbourhood, Connolly is steps away from the Hamilton GO Centre Station. The station will also be a stop along the planned Hamilton LRT. “Having lived in Hamilton, I’ve always admired the heritage buildings preserved in this city, so the church’s façade was a natural draw,” says Allen Le Nam, CEO of Hue Developments. “Connolly presented the perfect opportunity to bring our expertise to Canada by creating a sophisticated building that complements its surroundings.”

One-of-a-kind features integrated into the amenities and commercial space include stainedglass windows, high ceilings, and exposed stones.

With an arched, two-storey high entrance, and modern porcelain and wood finishes, Connolly’s lobby evokes the church’s ambiance and elegance. A backlit wall with rich wood and stone textures emulates a stained-glass window, adding a striking yet subtle feature.

Residents will benefit from over 7,000 sq. ft. of amenity space.

Connolly’s most iconic feature, the rose window that spans 30 feet across the façade, will form

the centre of the state-of-the-art gym. Other amenities include a co-working space, an entertainment and game lounge that opens up to a landscaped terrace, and a solarium.

Connolly will go on sale this fall. To register for VIP access, visit connollyhamilton.com 60 New Home + Condo Guide | June 8–22, 2019
