EDITOR’S NOTE

B.C.’S AMAZING HOME-BUILDING INDUSTRY Have you ever noticed that sometimes you are so close to something that you unwittingly take its specialness for granted? It’s the sentiment that is reflected in the saying we “can’t see the forest for the trees.”

The build community in British Columbia is a case in point. Many of us know it’s there — after all, there is evidence everywhere of new residential developments — and yet too many of us take for granted the quality and care that goes into building our future homes. Even during the last two-plus years of Pandemic illness, uncertainty and supply-chain issues, the industry has re-invented ways of showing and delivering its projects to the public, working hard to keep everyone healthy and safe.

If you want to learn more about some of the forward-thinking industry players who are bringing stylish, functional and energy-efficient homes to the pre-sale market, turn to page 22 and page 34, respectively, for coverage of this year’s Legends of Housing series and the winners at the 50th UDI Awards of Excellence.

As always, we have other great articles to help you find, purchase and decorate your new home, including tips on how to manage interest rate increases and the evolution of amenities. We hope you enjoy what you see. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

GILMORE PLACE TOWER 2 BY ONNI

COMING TO A HORIZON NEAR YOU. It’s been almost 15 years since Westbank’s 57-storey Shangri-La tower in downtown Vancouver became the tallest building in Metro Vancouver. Now, there are eight new towers on the horizon hoping to surpass this longstanding record. None are located in Vancouver’s downtown core or are even located within the City of Vancouver.

In Burnaby, if approved, Pinnacle Lougheed will set three new benchmarks – Phase 1B presenting an eye-popping 80 storeys, Phase 2 weighing in with 76 storeys, and Phase 1A bringing an additional 73 storeys. Already approved in Surrey, Centre Block’s 47 storeys will claim bragging rights as Metro Van’s tallest office tower. In Surrey, Anthem’s MetroKing, a 66-storey tower, is awaiting approval, while Bosa Properties’ 70-plus-storey tower, currently tagged Bosa Kingsway/Willingdon, is in preliminary design with full details yet to be revealed. Both Onni’s 64-storey Gilmore Place Tower 2 in Brentwood and Concord Metrotown’s Grand Tower – a 65-story residence anticipated to be completed in 2025 – are under construction.

DID YOU KNOW?

Frame, located in the vibrant Norquay Village neighbourhood, will transform the corner of Kingsway and Earles — a convenient location that’s central to Vancouver and Burnaby. It’s also a 10-minute walk from the 29th Avenue SkyTrain station.

Celebrating the new Surrey Since 2005, Tien Sher Group of Companies, led by Charan Sethi, has been sparking redevelopment in Surrey’s historic Whalley district with a series of mixed-use new condominium developments in the blocks around King George Highway and 108th Street.

On Monday, May 16, Tien Sher held an official ground-breaking for Flamingo One, a 35-storey tower located on the

site of the once infamous Flamingo Hotel. The first of four iconic towers, the building will create a dynamic, visual welcome and gateway to Surrey City Centre. When complete, the four towers will ultimately be home to 3,000-plus residents and a number of new businesses, creating an inviting, walkable neighbourhood where you can live, shop, work and play.

Island news As Vancouver Island continues attracting attention from Vancouverites looking for a lifestyle change, Esquimalt is emerging as one area to watch. Last month, the Lexi Development Group broke ground on a highly anticipated, nine-storey concrete residence that’s two blocks from the ocean and a short 10-minute bike ride from downtown Victoria. Pacific House will offer great views of the ocean, Inner Harbour, and Olympic Mountains.

Even more to enjoy in the Tri-Cities

Long known for its active, engaged lifestyle, the Tri-Cities are about to get an exciting new community amenity.

Coquitlam’s aging Innovation Centre, located adjacent to Lafarge Lake just north of the Evergreen Cultural

Centre, will receive a $5-million update. Currently used by city staff as a worksite, the civic building will be turned into what Lanny Englund, Coquitlam’s general manager of parks, recreation, culture and

facilities, says he hopes will become a “community living room” where residents can take part in arts and recreation programs and stop in for a bite to eat at the new concession.

When complete, it’s anticipated the new centre will have drop-in space, two multi-purpose rooms, plus refreshed meeting rooms, social gathering spaces, and lower outdoor patio. Council hopes the facility will become a hot spot for kids’ afterschool activities and summer camps as well as a destination park for outdoor events. Construction is due to start in the spring of 2023 with completion a year later. nexthome.ca

COVER STORY

PARK AUTHENTICALLY VANCOUVER It’s a seamless integration of sophisticated urban living and the best of Vancouver’s natural environments, an iconic residence that embodies Vancouver’s rich intertwining of form and function to create an experience that’s authentically Vancouver.

INTRODUCING PARK BY ANTHEM

A showcase of intimacy and beauty, these homes are designed to satisfy today’s more discerning homeowners with bespoke finishings and a prime location on West Georgia in Coal Harbour that’s just steps from Stanley Park and the Seawall.

Here, you’re enveloped in the natural beauty of forests, oceans

LOCATION Vancouver DEVELOPER Anthem HOME TYPE Midrise SALES CENTRE Coming soon CONTACT ParkLivingbyAnthem.com

and mountains while still being at the gateway to some of the city’s most diverse, engaging entertainment and cultural offerings. It’s a place that’s deeply connected yet decidedly uncomplicated.

At PARK, nothing has been compromised or overlooked.

Designed by the renowned New York architectural firm of KPF, PARK is inspired by its surroundings and the local North Shore Mountains—from the tallest trees with the deepest roots to the power of the ocean’s endless waves.

Distinguishable additions of lush greenery throughout oversized, stepped terraces and balconies plus extensive use of natural stone, mirror the forests clinging to the local mountains’ horizontal steps and rugged rock terrain. Art beacons the residential entrance located at West Georgia and Bidwell with a 10-ft. tall engaging installation inspired by birds in flight over Vancouver. Behind it, a cascading two-storey waterfall reinforces a supernatural backdrop.

Inside, nature spills into the tower’s residences through natural colours and organic textures curated by national interior design studio, Ste. Marie. Much like the exterior, interiors and amenities are designed with purpose and chosen with the utmost attention to detail and craftsmanship.

Natural woods and stone offer an understated luxury and elegance that’s authentic to Vancouver. Here, life’s stories are transformed into lasting legacies.

“I want people to be wowed by this building’s obvious connections to the

environment, the physicality of the mountains and ocean, the closeness to Stanley Park, and to this awesome city behind them” says Eric Carlson, Anthem’s core founder. “PARK will be an incredible, integrating element that will bring all Vancouver has to offer as a city right into people’s homes.”

THE ANTHEM LEGACY

Founded in 1991, Anthem is a team of 450 people driven by creativity, passion and direct communication. Anthem has invested in, developed, and managed— alone or in partnership—more than 310 residential, commercial, and retail projects across western North America.

Its growing residential portfolio includes 17,500 homes that are complete, in design, or under construction. Homes range from master-planned communities and mixed-use towers to townhomes and single-family communities.

EXCLUSIVE OPPORTUNITY

PARK will be located at 1698 West Georgia and will offer 126 concrete residences ranging from studio to three-bedroom plans including six, two-storey city townhomes on the podium fronting Alberni Street and East Mews. Authentically Vancouver, centred around you.

PARK’s immersive sales gallery is now under construction with sales anticipated to begin later this year. Visit ParkLivingbyAnthem. com and register for this one-of-a-kind opportunity. nexthome.ca

ADVICE | MORTGAGE MINUTE

TIPS TO HELP YOU MANAGE HIGHER

INTEREST RATES ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

The Bank of Canada has increased its overnight policy rate in the past few months, and it is expected that in its upcoming June announcement, there will be another increase that will affect variable interest rates.

As well, fixed interest rates have 16

New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

increased dramatically over the last few weeks and months and the expectation is that interest rates will continue to trend upwards.

Therefore, it is important to be proactive and prepare yourself for higher interest rates. The following are some tips that can help you.

1. PAY DOWN YOUR MORTGAGE FASTER

To ensure that you don’t overleverage yourself when interest rates continue to increase, start

by making larger or more frequent payments and make lump sum prepayments, when possible, towards your mortgage. This will help you by lowering your principal so you will pay interest on a smaller amount in the future.

• A LUMP SUM PAYMENT. Most lenders allow you to pay annually up to 10 to 20 percent of your mortgage without a penalty. The prepayment amount is applied directly to the principal balance, which will help you save money. If

you are getting at tax refund, apply that money to your mortgage to pay it down. This will allow you to increase the equity in your home.

• CHANGING YOUR PAYMENT FREQUENCY. This is a great way to

pay off your mortgage faster. You can benefit by paying the same amount per month by just simply splitting your mortgage payments throughout the month to semimonthly or change your payments to bi-weekly or weekly payments.

in the long run. If not, purchase a property of lesser value.

3. REFINANCE

By refinancing and leveraging your equity in your home, it is a great opportunity to pay off some debts and increase your monthly cash flow.

You can also use some equity for investments or use funds to purchase an investment property. Speaking with a mortgage expert can help you explore the many options available to you!

2. PAY DOWN YOUR DEBT

If you are only making minimum payments on your credit card, it would be a good idea to start paying more. Even as little as $5 more on each card will save you twice as much. Review your budget or start a budget to see where you can cut your spending and start paying down your credit card debt with the money you save.

If you are living beyond your means, it won’t get any easier with time. It is better to become proactive, instead of getting in a tighter situation later, especially when interest rates continue to rise. If you are looking at buying a home, calculate what the payments will be with a higher interest rate and see if you would be comfortable making those payments

4. HAVE A CONTINGENCY FUND

If you are concerned about higher interest rates when your mortgage comes up for renewal, start working on it now. It’s a good idea to create a contingency fund that can be used to cover the increase in mortgage payments or you can use that fund to make a lump-sum payment on your mortgage. If you are on an adjustable mortgage, figure out what your mortgage payments would be if you had a fixed rate and put that extra money aside. By making small changes in your daily spending, you can save more money in the long run.

5. SEEK PROFESSIONAL ADVICE FROM A MORTGAGE EXPERT

A mortgage expert can keep you updated on how the changes in the economy affect you and your mortgage. He or she can help educate you in areas in which you are unfamiliar. Also, if you want to find out how you can leverage what you have and how to grow your financial wealth, they can help you to explore all of your options.

Alisa Aragon-Lloyd obtained her mortgage license from the University of British Columbia and has been helping her clients since 2011. She has her own company, Bridgestone Financing Pros powered by DLC Homeline Mortgages and is on the board of directors for the Homebuilder Association of Vancouver (HAVAN).

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

CommerCial Drive “vanCouver’s GreenwiCh villaGe”

by Lydia McNutt

Equally known for Euro cafés, ethnic eateries and bongo drums, Commercial Drive is often described as “Vancouver’s Greenwich Village.” And if you’ve ever visited either of these places, you instantly get that vibrant, bohemian vibe that puts originality – and dare we say, oddity – on a pedestal. The Drive boasts Vancouver’s second-highest concentration of heritage commercial buildings and an abundance of Edwardian-style homes that bring its history to life. Whether you’re walking the 21-block area between Venables to the north and 13th Avenue to the south or absorbing it all from one of the many street-side patios, there’s lots to take in, in this vibrant east Vancouver pocket.

18

New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

NEIGHBOURHOOD vIBE

The Drive is home to more than 400 businesses, most of which are one-off, owner-operated and one-of-a-kind, offering everything from vintage clothing, folk art and books, to music, hardware and organic foods. Matching the area’s eclectic commercial profile, the residents here are a diverse bunch from a variety of ethnic, financial and professional backgrounds.

This iconic area is outside of Vancouver’s tourist district, making it a stomping ground for locals, or visitors to get a taste of some true-blue Vancouverites and home-grown flavours.

MEEt tHE NEIGHBOURs

Called “Little Italy” in the 1950s, the neighbourhood has transitioned from a predominantly Italian and Portuguese population to a melting pot of cultures, brimming with bohemian beatniks and hipsters of every kind – students, writers, artists, musicians and laid-back souls.

IN tHE aREa

The Drive boasts some two dozen independent coffee shops, as well as ethnic eateries of every variety. But leave room for a craft beer or three – area bars boast bottles and draughts by local breweries that are worthy of a toast. While shopping, stop by one of many outdoor markets and stock up on fresh fares for a picnic at Grandview Park or John Hendry Park at Trout Lake.

PROs & CONs

Once you see past the gritty facade, you’ll come to appreciate the neighbourhood’s close-knit community spirit shared by hippies and families alike.

PLaNEs, tRaINs & aUtOMOBILEs

Catch the #20 Victoria Drive bus which runs along The Drive, as well as both the SkyTrain’s Expo Line and Millennium Line at Commercial–Broadway Station.

DOLLaRs & sENsE

This downtown-east Vancouver area boasts lower property prices compared to west Vancouver ‘hoods, but offers good city services, social scene, and is a transit hub connecting you to the rest of the city.

HAVAN’S LEGENDS OF HOUSING RETURNS

by SUSAN M BOYCE

From left to right: Panelists Robyn Adamache, Rick Ilich, Peter Wood and moderator Kirk LaPointe

Legend: (n) someone famous and admired usually because of their ability in a particular area: a person of extraordinary accomplishment

sales with Weyerhaeuser. And once again, conversations were lively and informative.

CHANGING VIEWS

On May 17, three local housing industry “legends” met for a lively discussion of topics ranging from adapting to today’s market conditions and COVID-19’s continued disruptions to supply chain challenges and affordability.

Once again moderated by Kirk LaPointe, publisher and editor-in-chief of Business in Vancouver, the event brought together Rick Ilich, the CEO of Townline Homes; Robyn Adamache, senior specialist of client relations and multi-unit housing solutions at Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC); and Peter Wood, director of EWP (engineered wood products) 22

New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

With work from home – either full or part-time – now firmly entrenched as a societal norm, many buyers continue to express a greater desire for home as a sanctuary, a safe place with flexibility to accommodate the new life realities.

Anecdotal evidence also suggests younger generations have less yearning to own their home until they are well established in a career and ready to begin a family. Plus, many are experiencing an increasing sense of not being able to get into a market with limited availability combined with rising prices and interest rates.

LABOUR SHORTAGE INTENSIFIES

According to Adamache, last year saw the highest number of immigrants arrive in B.C. in 60 years, something she says will likely bode well for homeownership demand, although rising interest rates may somewhat dampen that demand.

But even with the also recordbreaking 60,000 new jobs created during the same period, there’s still an alarming shortage of skilled labour. Ilich noted that in the past, Townline would typically have 400 to 500 people working on a tower construction site. Today it’s often less than 300.

Wood said part of the problem is that construction practices haven’t changed that much over the past three or four decades, leaving many potential students less than

Anecdotal evidence also suggests younger generations have less yearning to own their home until they are well established in a career and ready to begin a family.

enamoured with a career in the trades, despite the stability and lucrative nature of these jobs. “This industry is ripe for evolution,” he said, adding it’s estimated B.C. would need to graduate one in every six students into the trades in order to fix the current labour shortage, a far cry from the approximately one in 60 that’s the current reality.

And there’s a further wrinkle, since even if permits and building approvals were fast tracked, there’s still the headache of ongoing supply chain disruptions and skyrocketing price increases. The well-known problem has become so acute, LaPointe said he’s heard more than one builder say that by the time a larger project completes, costs can have ballooned by 30 percent or more.

FAST-TRACK APPROVALS

The panel was, not surprisingly, unanimous that bureaucratic red tape needs to be reduced. “We need more housing, but if permits are held up for months, it creates a bottleneck and means only a certain number of homes can be built,” said Wood.

Ilich agreed, adding some municipalities try harder than others while some simply don’t see it as a government issue.

LEADERSHIP LESSONS LEARNED

In closing, LaPointe asked each panelist to share thoughts on how the pandemic has changed their leadership and management style.

Consciously focusing more on things that can be controlled and preparing to react quickly was Wood’s insight. He’s also become more aware of how someone’s home dynamics impact the core of a business.

”

Finding creative ways to retain social interaction and work culture topped Adamache’s list. To replace the water cooler conversations that are integral to keeping teams engaged and connected, she opted for casual gatherings every other Friday, even if the group was simply offering each other a 2-D cheers in front of a computer screen.

“The old days are over,” Ilich acknowledged. “Zoom meetings will continue in some form, but it’s my job to instill confidence, respect, and dignity within our corporate culture. It’s no longer a nine-to-five job. Our teams are very strong and managing well in this fragile environment.”

friendly three-bedrooms and are each meticulously crafted with modern professionals in mind.

Interior spaces seamlessly integrate form and function, creating a sense of flowing connectivity. From the chef-inspired kitchens and luxurious bathrooms to the integrated workfrom-home stations, every residence is filled with thoughtful details to welcome you home.

Best of all, you can now own a home here with as little as 15 percent down payment. For a limited time, every studio and one bedroom is also offered with an $8,000 incentive, two-bedrooms with a $10,000 incentive, and three-bedrooms with a $15,000 incentive.

O2 by Keltic homes and amenities prioritize health and wellness

THE EVOLUTION OF AMENITIES A CHANGING WORKPLACE EMPHASIZES THE HOME

BRITTANY REIMER Today’s pre-sale homebuyer is in a prime position to take advantage of the evolution of complex amenities in new developments. Amenities have advanced and expanded exponentially in recent years to meet the needs of the modern homeowner.

An increased focus on health, wellness and technology has resulted in more comfortable and convenient options for owners. Developers continue to listen to, and apply, feedback to conceive amenity spaces and build desirable, livable homes with meaningful offerings.

30 New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

The COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example of how the use of space can evolve over time. With more people working from home than ever before, the role that living spaces must play has also changed. An increasing number of people are spending more time within their own homes, rather than shared spaces such as the office. One example of this is the expansion of work-from-home areas, turning dens into offices or designing office nooks in under-utilized space.

Redbridge by Kingswood Properties in Squamish has installed flexible spaces that can be used for remote work.

A nook off the main living area can house a small desk, or the den space within the same home can be turned

into a larger home office. For those who desire more interaction in a safe setting, on-site shared workspaces are becoming increasingly common.

Autograph by Pennyfarthing features a library amenity space steps from home that has individual-use work pods for quiet and safe productivity.

The experience is supported with task lighting and shared high-speed wireless internet. In warmer months, residents can take their online meetings to the communal tables in the shared courtyard.

HEALTH AND WELLNESS

Environment affects physical and mental wellbeing, and given that we each spend, on average, 90 percent of our time indoors, the home is undeniably the environment that has

the most impact on us. Buildings and interior spaces have a major influence on health outcomes—and every design decision has the potential to benefit our wellbeing. With growing awareness of the importance of incorporating health and wellness into everyday life, developments have followed suit. Health and wellness amenities have become an increasingly demanded aspect for new properties. O2 by Keltic created its homes and the accompanying amenities to be a sophisticated wellness community with this priority in mind. Health-inspired residences

with evidence-based building techniques incorporate design features that measurably improve air quality, water purity and overall health. O2 brings a first-of-its-kind living experience where health is at the forefront and wellness is integrated throughout. Indoors, an air purification system, water filtration system and spa-like steam showers benefit general wellbeing. Outdoors, vibrant parks, pedestrian-friendly walking trails and elevated amenities support a healthy, intentional lifestyle. In Langley, Ellery

by Isle of Mann emphasizes wellness with lush rooftop garden plots that have an outdoor social lounge and expansive, relaxing views. Wellnessinspired businesses on the ground floor were thoughtfully designed to promote a healthy lifestyle.

THE ROLE OF TECHNOLOGY IN HOME CONVENIENCE

Technology has reinvented how you buy a home, as well as the way you live in it. Residents at Autograph can tap into the latest in smart home technologies, such as the 1Valet home system. 1Valet is a simple app that enables facial recognition with video intercom and contactless entry from your cell phone. An in-home

iPad provides extra control and the latest lighting control technology from Leviton. Both Autograph and Block by Amacon offer a secure parcel delivery room complete with smartphone notifications, providing a safe place for packages to await their pickup and easy access at any time.

MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION

Increasingly, developers are demonstrating that they are listening to the changing wants and needs of homeowners by moving in the right direction and providing updated amenities. From health and wellness aspects to technologically forward conveniences, homebuyers are seeing more value in each new home purchase along with the ability to enjoy meaningful, modern amenities.

THE UDI AWARDS FOR EXCELLENCE 50TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION

by SUSAN M BOYCE

It was a night to celebrate innovation, creativity, and unfailing perseverance in the face of challenges unimaginable until the world shut down just over two years ago. And so, on Wednesday, May 11, some 750 industry insiders and experts gathered to celebrate, in person, the visionaries who keep B.C.’s home development industry strong and thriving.

“The pandemic imposed incredible hardships on our lives, professions, and economies,” acknowledged Anne McMullin, president and CEO of the Urban Development Institute (UDI) Pacific Region, in her welcoming note. “But COVID-19 didn’t stop our industry. We quickly adapted to the new reality and were one of the few sectors that kept going, keeping job sites open and ensuring British Columbians were employed during some of our province’s darkest days. That is the definition of resiliency, and I have never been more proud as I witnessed this industry’s determination and grit.”

New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

Via video, David Eby, BC’s attorney general and minister responsible for housing said, “Last year, more than 100,000 people moved to British Columbia, a 30-year high. Thank you for helping create the thousands of new homes every year that we need for our communities and economy to grow.”

HONOURING B.C.’S FINEST

A total of 22 awards were given out at the award ceremony. And, as anticipated, the sheer diversity was breathtaking.

Vesta Properties and Forge Properties both added to their growing portfolios of accolades, taking home top honours for Best of the Fraser Valley (Latimer Heights) and Best Residential Mid-Rise (Fantom), respectively.

“The concept of a village within a city is unique within the Township of Langley,” said Christine Turner, Vesta’s director of marketing. “It’s also the Township’s largest

master-planned community—74 acres with 17 of those retained as greenspace—and every type of home style, from single-family and duplexes to highrises and townhomes.”

Unabashedly opulent, Fantom features a dramatic black-andwhite palette plus an iconic curved architecture inspired by the prows of mighty seafaring vessels. Each home also boasts panoramic ocean views and expansive outdoor patios. It all adds up to sophisticated, urban living that exceeds the dreams of the most discerning homeowner.

Market Square at Southlands Tsawwassen, a showcase of urban sophistication and a sustainable, farm-to-table lifestyle, garnered first-time entrant Century Group a win in the Community Amenity Suburban category. “Southlands is all about creating a sense of community that brings people closer to where their food is grown and where the culinary creativity of enjoying food is showcased and accentuated,” said Bob Ransford, vice-president of development. “Market Square was designed to be the heart of the Southlands neighbourhood, a place where farmers can sell fresh produce directly to the people who live here, where people gather for festivals and public events at the outdoor amphitheatre, and where residents can experience local, human-scale farming for themselves in the public allotment gardens.”

Few were surprised when The Arc

by Concord Pacific took home gold as Best Residential Highrise. “We wanted to give people something unique to look at as they drive north over the Cambie Bridge,” said Grant Murray, senior vice-president of sales.

“Because of the building’s curved shape and exterior lighting, the entire structure has a very cool look that changes depending on which angle you’re looking from. And it’s unprecedented to have a 20th floor, glass-bottom pool suspended over the entryway.”

“

”

After identifying an unmet need for homes that give buyers an option to enjoy the convenience of strata living without being shoehorned into a small, narrow townhome, Townline Homes wowed the judges with Forester.

Comprised of 100 three- to five-bedroom homes, Forester blends natural elements and materials to give an attractive Whistler-inspired ambience that perfectly complemented its Burke Mountain setting. “We designed the floorplans to be wide—most are 25 feet or more across,” said Melanie Briggs, vice-president of sales and marketing. “We also maximized the dimensions of our kitchen islands and placed the family/living room at 90-degrees to the dining area so there’s a pleasing separation between the spaces yet they still all flow together.”

Peeter Wesik is this year’s Hall of Frame inductee

HALL OF FAME

This year’s hall of fame inductee was Peeter Wesik, chair of the multi-generational Wesgroup Properties. Started over half a century ago, Wesgroup’s portfolio now spans a diverse array of commercial and residential real estate, including Station Square in Metrotown that won Best Mixed-Use Highrise. Soft-spoken and acknowledged as one of Metro Vancouver’s most progressive innovators, Wesik lives by the belief that investing in people is a fundamental key to success.

Maureen Enser was UDI president and CEO for 30 years

FUTURE LEADERS

Mike Mackay, president of Strand Developments, was this year’s recipient of the Maureen Enser Future Leader Award. Named after UDI’s longest-serving executive director, this award honours a UDI member who is under 40, has shown exemplary leadership within the industry, and made significant contributions to improve the development community and the municipalities where they build. It’s a tribute to the legacy Maureen created as a tireless champion of the next generation of builders and entrepreneurs.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

RICHMOND CENTRE

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Richmond City Centre runs roughly from Blundell Road north to Middle Arm of the Fraser River and from No. 4 Road, west to Gilbert Road, with a small extension at the north end of Gilbert to take in the neighbourhood around the Richmond Olympic Oval.

The whole of Richmond has the highest percentage of immigrants of any city in Canada and the second highest percentage of visible minorities (about two-thirds). Those numbers are even more evident in the City Centre. The population of this downtown core is growing rapidly from 38,610 in 2006 to 48,185 in 2011, and is expected to reach 100,000 by 2041.

38

New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

LIFESTYLE

Let’s put it this way - this enclave attracts well-heeled fashionistas and Asian cuisine culinary snobs. It’s fair to say, “Lifestyle of the rich and the very rich.”

VIBE

Richmond Centre, being very culturally diverse and vibrant, is increasingly becoming a destination neighbourhood for the region, with the combination of the emerging dining scene, major malls and shopping, attractions like the Night Market, River Rock and the Richmond Olympic Oval.

HOT SPOTS

RICHMOND NIGHT MARKET

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS

This urban “village” is coming to life as a new neighbourhood filled with high-density condominium buildings attracting a lot of young Asian adults and seniors. These two cohorts make up the two fastest growing segments of Richmond’s population.

This popular annual summer night market features 120 food vendors, dishing up everything from Afghan Bolani and Korean drumsticks, to corn dogs and traditional Asian street snacks such as barbecued squid and succulent BBQ’d skewered meats.

IN THE AREA

Richmond Centre is transforming into a much more walkable community with a vibrant streetscape, a transition from its recent past, when it was mainly characterized by large shopping malls surrounded by sizable parking lots and car-oriented strip mall development. It is also where you will discover Aberdeen Centre, the second-largest Asian mall in Canada, just behind Pacific Mall in Markham, Ontario.

RIVER ROCK CASINO RESORT Richmond’s only Forbesrated four-diamond resort hotel, it is home to a 144slip marina, several dining options and a show theatre.

And lest we forget, you can gamble the night away.

PLANES, TRANS & AUTOMOBILES

Served by the Canada Line, with four stations in the City Centre area (and a fifth in planning stages), and minutes to Vancouver International Airport (YVR), it’s no wonder people are moving here in droves.

REAL ESTATE: (NEW BUILDS)

Residential development is typically low and mid-rise condominium buildings. Many towers also incorporate some commercial uses at lower levels. There’s also a significant amount of retail, office and hotel development, primarily along No. 3 Road.

GOLDEN VILLAGE Boasting the best Chinese food outside of China, if you start at Alexandra Road and go three blocks in any direction, you’ll find approximately 200 restaurants serving Asian cuisine.

Bring nature

by JAMIE BANFIELD

Inspiration

is found through travel, wellness and the desire to treat ourselves 40 New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

W

e all want to bring more of that outdoor feel into our interior spaces. Who doesn’t enjoy being surrounded by natural elements? If you can’t live in the middle of nature, let’s bring a little nature into your home.

Natural elements Textural design is all about creating tactile moments that invite touch, drawing all the viewer’s physical and emotional attention to the space, an experience that can help with mental health and rejuvenation.

When working with textures, consider placement, such as putting a smooth texture directly next to a rough one. This will enhance the contrast between them more than if you space them apart. And don’t be afraid to mix metals, finishes and textures.

Since not everyone has the opportunity to overhaul a full space, if you are looking to add natural textural elements to a smaller space, bring in plants and layer in flowers and add woods that contrast to a natural material flooring such as walnut, and possible deeper tones.

It’s okay to mix light and dark woods that have different grains, such as oak and walnut. Layering in blacks, matte texture, vibrant walnut woods,

concrete textured manufactured stone countertops and mixing a colour such as “Hale Navy” would add texture.

Matte finishes are a must in any space to ensure that the warm feel of layering through natural textures such as low-sheet veneered woods, concrete finishing, matte tiles and organic metals, create an organic and textured touch instead of a manufactured one.

A variation on a theme When travelling, we are drawn to the outdoors, possibly a favourite beach, hike or viewpoint, and find ourselves drawn to those exotic and unique natural materials, native fibres and metals. Take note of these when you’re at your favourite spot so you can replicate them in some way at home. It might be by adding a textile

on a chair such as a throw blanket or pillow. Or, it might be that harvest table at a local breakfast spot that you loved and can introduce as a charcuterie board to your kitchen as a reminder of that table’s aged and unique lived-in finish.

Living walls When proper lighting is present, virtually any kind of plant can thrive in a living wall system. These systems can assist in space-saving solutions, adding personality and creating an overall clean air space. ByNature is a supplier and installer of all things green and brings greenery to residential projects in some of the most innovative ways.

Imagine when you take your first steps into a home and glance up a staircase that showcases a two-storey nexthome.ca

living wall that draws your eyes up to the light and second-floor access to a rooftop patio. Unlike other features in a typical home that might collect dust, an organic living wall is not only low maintenance, it also adds a warm organic texture and assists in creating good air quality to the home.

Living Art

Natural personality We are all attracted to big, vibrant and beautiful personalities — well, in moderation! When bringing in personality, take some care and time to ensure you place it in the most impactful spot.

When looking to add a big and beautiful aspect, don’t be afraid to blow up small spaces such as a powder room. Natural and organic patterns and

prints are here to stay and depending on the scale, texture and print, can be used as a statement piece.

Be fearless Fall in love with the outdoors. Don’t be afraid to bring large, bold and small non-committal pieces into your home, from a wood charcuterie board, plants or living art to big and beautiful wallpaper.

Living art is a non-committal way to bring greenery and personality to any space, especially a small compact one where you might not be able to sacrifice floor space for a potted plant.

With custom frame styles and easy installation, these are honestly just like a lightweight piece of art.

These installations are very low maintenance and need watering once every three to four weeks with a wicking irrigation system, perfect for busy professionals. The fun thing is they are customizable and you can easily change the placement of the cassettes for seasonal rotations.

GettinG the most out of your

home warranty by stephanie macDonalD

Buyers of new homes in B.C. are fortunate to be protected by the country’s strongest construction defect insurance. We asked Wendy Acheson from BC Housing about some of the most important things you should know about your New Home Warranty.

their home is covered by a home warranty?

Before each expiry date, inspect the home to identify any problems in areas still covered by the warranty.

Strata properties may have different expiry dates for their individual unit and common property.

wendy acheson: Start by visiting our new-homes registry

nhcG: how long do i have to claim construction flaws?

new home + condo Guide: how does a person know if

to help make more informed decisions when buying a new home. The registry is a great online resource for homebuyers, Realtors, lawyers, local governments and anyone else who wants to check the status of a new home or a new home under construction.

You can search the registry for new homes using the street address and city or its legal description, and filter your search for single-detached homes or multi-unit (including duplex) buildings. You can find out if a new home, or new home under construction, has a home warranty insurance policy and whether it was built by a licensed residential builder. nhcG: how long does this insurance cover the home? w.a.: You need to take note of, and act on, each coverage

expiry date. The home warranty insurance provided on new single-family and multi-family homes built for sale in B.C. protects against different construction defects for specific periods of time: • Two years on labour and materials for defects related to delivery and distribution systems (such as electrical or plumbing). For general materials and labour defects, coverage is for 12 months on detached homes and non-common property in strata units (including fee-simple homes), and for 15 months on common property of strata buildings.

• Five years on building envelope defects (including water penetration). This covers components that separate the indoors from the outdoors, such as exterior walls, foundation, roof, windows and doors.

44

• Ten years on labour and materials defects that result in failure of a load-bearing part of the home, or causes structural damage.

New Home + Condo Guide | May 28–June 11, 2022

w.a.: You should report serious defects immediately to prevent further damage. Smaller defects can be reported together but before your coverage expires. Report possible defects in writing to the warranty provider and the builder.

(For strata homes, report problems with the unit to the warranty provider and problems with the common property to the strata council and/or building manager.) Keep copies of all correspondence related to defects and claims. nhcG: how do i know what’s covered and what isn’t? w.a.: Not all aspects of a new home are covered by the warranty. For example, the insurance won’t cover things like normal wear and tear, insect or rodent damage, or acts of nature. Check your policy for exclusions. Did you make any improvements after taking possession of your home? Design, materials or labour supplied by the owner or someone other than the builder, their workers or subtrades may not be covered.

For more information about home warranty insurance, visit the Licensing & Consumer Services section of the BC Housing website or to search or download the free Residential Construction Performance Guide. bchousing.org.

Wendy Acheson is vice-president and registrar at the Licensing and Consumer Services branch of BC Housing. She has 20 years of experience in licensing and the regulation of professionals, as well as legal matters, government, housing and consumer protection.

TOWER 5 NOW SELLING

Turning heads and capturing hearts, The Amazing Brentwood just keeps getting better. And with sales now underway for Tower 5, homebuyers are discovering for themselves how this trendsetting, master-planned community has become one of Metro Vancouver’s most sought-after neighbourhoods.

“The last two years have changed the way people interact with their home,” acknowledges Brenda Parris, marketing director with SHAPE. “Homeowners want more flexible designs, more luxury finishings, and more multi-functional features because their home needs to support a variety of activities—work, entertaining, dining, and relaxing.”

And it’s this new reality that sparked a dynamic reimagining of the long-established heart of every home—the kitchen.

ULTIMATE STYLE, ULTIMATE FLEXIBILITY

Neighbourhood One, facing northeast

“We started with the perennial philosophy that the kitchen is the heart of the home—the place where people congregate—so we wanted to give every home a massive island that would unlock endless possibilities and be esthetically stunning,” Brenda says. “Because the kitchen is now so much more than a place where people cook and break bread together, it also has to create a seamless transition into the living room.”

The design team took to the drawing board, and their results are nothing short of spectacular.

“Every detail has been carefully contemplated, from the Miele appliances to the continuous, single-slab

countertop that extends into a waterfall edge,” Brenda says. “We also incorporated a 19-inch cantilevered overhang that wraps around one end and along the side facing into the kitchen itself. Not only does this give you seating for a dinner party of up to seven people, it’s also a place where you can lay out spreadsheets or other work-related documents, set up a buffet, or play board games with the family.”

She adds that the island is also amazing for everyday cooking and rolling out pastry dough.

Dimensions are huge—ranging from eight-footsix to nine-foot-six, depending on the home. Brenda shares: “We actually ran a construction simulation model to ensure we could get island countertops this large through the door. In some cases, they’ll be maneuvered through the balcony or delivered before walls are built or doors installed.”

Cabinetry throughout is imported from Europe and boasts an unmarred, horizontal orientation—even the slim-profile hood fan is flush with the upper cabinets.

“It’s a challenge making that work, but we didn’t want anything to distract from the sophisticated design and clean lines,” Brenda says.

Ask any chef and they’ll tell you the secret to a great kitchen, is organization. And these kitchens are sure to satisfy with plenty of intelligent storage space.

There’s a concealed cutlery drawer, full-height upper cabinets, plus an abundance of pot drawers below.

And here’s just one of the many details you don’t see every day—the toe kicks are made of aluminum,

so they’ll stand up to the demands of the most enthusiastic culinary adventurer.

The Amazing Brentwood’s spectacular 15,000-sq.-ft. presentation centre and showhomes are now open by appointment at 4567 Lougheed Hwy in Burnaby.

One- to three-bedroom homes are now selling with prices starting in the mid-$700,000s. To book your appointment, visit theamazingbrentwood.com or call 604.563.8386 today. Then get set to be wowed.
