EDITOR’S NOTE

CHANGE IS IN THE AIR

MARLENE EISNER EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: marlene.eisner@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

It’s March, and although it may seem slow to start, Spring really is on its way and with it, more daylight hours and the shedding of winter apparel. But this year, spring brings us something more – hope on the home-buying front with a welcome change to the federal government’s mortgage stress test.

The stress test was introduced in 2016 to ensure potential homebuyers could still make mortgage payments if the rates increased.

Though well-intentioned, it prevented many Canadians from qualifying for a mortgage. Owning a home remained out of their reach, still a dream rather than a reality.

The new changes are coming April 6. Will they benefit B.C. homeowners? Read what MLA’s Cameron McNeill has to say about it on page 28, and see if the changes will boost your homebuying power.

There are many advantages of buying a newly constructed home, but B.C.’s new-home warranty is a pretty compelling benefit. Read more about it on page 34 in Stephanie MacDonald’s interview with Wendy Acheson, vice-president and registrar at the Licensing and Consumer Services branch of BC Housing.

We hope you enjoy this issue of New Home + Condo Guide. Let us know what you think. We’d love to hear from you.

City Conversations: Converting public golf courses SFU’s always interesting City Conversations lunch-time panel discussion happened on Feb. 20 at the Morris J Wosk Centre at SFU’s downtown campus. This month, the discussion revolved around a new proposal to convert half of each of Vancouver’s three city-owned golf courses to up to 10,000 homes, with the rest becoming parkland. In total, there would be housing for 60,000 Vancouverites, ranging from low-income to market rate. Scot 14

Hein is an author of the housing/ park proposal, and an adjunct professor in the Master of Urban Design program at UBC, and formerly Vancouver’s senior urban designer. For this conversation, he was joined by Vancouver Parks Board Commissioners Tricia Barker and Dave Demers who have differing views on the proposal. The lively debate began with Barker describing the multitude of benefits golfing provides seniors, as well as the

greenery, wildlife habitat and profitability of the courses. She was followed by Hein, who described the amount of housing that could be built on the land, and how much the land is worth at market value (well over a billion dollars).

Demers concluded with his assertion that once this greenspace is gone, it can never come back, and outlined some ways to make golf and the spaces more inclusive for diverse groups.

DID YOU KNOW?

According to Urban Analytics, the number of condo pre-sale units released for sale in 2019 fell sharply in Metro Vancouver.

Developers put 7,588 units up for pre-sale, less than half the 18,998 released in 2018.

B.C. Home & Garden Show

Just West grand opening On Saturday Feb. 22, Just West on King Edward opened the doors of its new presentation centre to the public. Located on Cambie at 16th Avenue, the event drew more than 400 people. Visitors could enjoy a Japadog and a coffee while viewing the attractive show home and learning about everything this new project by Sightline Properties has to offer.

Located in a central location, perfect for families, Just West will deliver a sense of community and togetherness by encouraging interaction through great design.

With all homes centralized around a courtyard, families and neighbours will come together to enjoy a movie at the outdoor theatre or host gatherings in the barbecue area.

Buildex Vancouver 2020 On Feb. 12 and 13, the Vancouver Convention Centre was abuzz with building industry professionals at Western Canada’s largest forum connecting the holistic building industry, “uniting tradition and innovation to shape the spaces of tomorrow.” The event brought together talent from across the industry to interact, learn and discover the newest innovations of a market in constant transformation.

BUILDEX provides architecture, engineering, construction, interior design and property management professionals a meaningful platform to create

dialogue, build community, and gain industry advancement.

One of the highlights included the Building to Zero Solutions Centre by the city of Vancouver, showing its commitment to transitioning to zero emissions buildings in all new construction by 2030. The city of Vancouver and Passive House created this hub to connect industry, designers and builders to the products and solutions needed to meet the demands of future building requirements, and to learn about high-performance, energy efficient, innovative and electrified products.

The always eagerly anticipated B.C. Home & Garden Show happened at BC Place last weekend, and as always, it featured a dizzying array of home builders, building products, interior decorators and outdoor and garden designers.

A personal highlight was the Honomobo Container Home exhibit, with two full model homes on display. These cool modular homes can be built to be carbon neutral and, with the addition of solar panels, easily net energy positive.

The HGTV Canada Main Stage this year was sponsored by HAVAN, and featured many familiar faces, such as Bryan Baeumler, Sarah Gallop and Jamie Banfield, as well as perhaps less familiar ones (such as yours truly, moderating a legal panel with lawyer Andrew Delmonico of Kuhn LLP on the importance of contracts).

Inspiration for every type of building or remodelling project was all around, with industry professionals showing how every building dream can be made a reality with the right people and products for the job. nexthome.ca 15

COVER STORY

SOCO: Part Two New Urban Lifestyle Hub

It’s official. People are falling in love with SOCO in South Coquitlam.

“We’ve had more than 4,000 people visit our presentation centre since we opened for previews at the beginning of the year,” says a clearly delighted Sharon Matsumoto, senior sales manager. “On the grand opening day, energy was buzzing throughout the centre with happy homebuyers eager to secure a home after lining up overnight. They’d done their research and come to the same conclusion we have — SOCO is the best value in Metro Vancouver. By the end of the weekend, our South Tower was 75 per cent sold.”

Many, she says, were first-time buyers, investors, or parents helping out their kids. “They appreciate the long-term value of purchasing into the first phase of a master-planned community like SOCO,” she says. “You get the best prices, the best selection of floorplans, and the best opportunity for your home to appreciate over time. It’s a fantastic time to buy.”

Mar. 7–21, 2020

In addition to the varied selection of homes still available in the South Tower, Sharon notes the North Tower will be released soon. “Be sure to register, as we’re anticipating another excellent response.”

HOMES FOR THE WAY YOU LIVE

Inside, SOCO offers a sophisticated, distinctly modern style. Open-concept floorplans are filled with sunshine, and views are breathtaking. Kitchens feature two-toned cabinetry, gas range with slim-profile hood fan, and eye-catching marble-inspired porcelain backsplash. Bathrooms are sleek with quartz counters and contemporary lighting. It’s all about living well.

DYNAMIC COMMUNITY

Ultimately to be comprised of five residential towers, more than 67,000 sq. ft. of new office and retail spaces, and an on-site daycare, SOCO spans six acres on North Road. The open, street-level plazas will

include trees, benches and a lively mix of gathering spaces creating a social, engaged lifestyle.

There’s plenty to keep you fit and entertained, too. Check out these residents-only community features: A clubhouse lounge where you’ll find a chef’s kitchen, games room, health studio with dedicated yoga space, a co-working lounge/ boardroom, a workshop for handson projects or perhaps tuning up

your bike, and even a dedicated sound room. Outside, there’s a sundeck with outdoor fire pit and barbecue, badminton and table tennis, children’s play area, lounge seating for socializing with friends, and an outdoor track.

All this plus easy access to the features that make this neighbourhood a great place to call home — transit, SFU, Rocky Point Park and Brewery

Row in Port Moody, Lougheed Town Centre, and the freeway to Vancouver or the Interior’s wineries and ski hills.

The SOCO presentation centre and display suites are now open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 201 – 1020 Austin Avenue. For more information, visit socobyanthem.com or contact info@socobyanthem.com. nexthome.ca 19

Located overlooking the Fraser River and adjacent to a sevenacre park, this collection of just 153 apartment residences brings a whole new level of sophistication and design to town.

savvy homebuyers.

“We’ve sold more than 60 homes since opening at the beginning of the year,” says Wayne Lyle, sales and marketing director.

“That’s more than any other development in the area.”

Wayne credits Highpointe’s location and 100 per cent steel and concrete construction as part of the reason it’s being so well accepted. “This is simply a better, safer construction than wood frame. It’s fire resistant, there’s no shrinkage or warping, and both insulation and soundproofing values are superior. When I talk to parents who are helping their children get into the housing

market, so many of them say they want that peace of mind for their kids.”

One couple, he adds, had planned to buy a one-bedroom home as an investment property.

“But when they saw the quality, design, and views of Mount Baker and the Fraser River, they were so impressed they decided to get a larger, two-bedroom corner suite and move into it themselves.”

COME CELEBRATE

And here’s breaking news: To celebrate Highpointe’s resounding success to date, Concordia Homes is throwing a groundbreaking party on March 14 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“There will be local cheese samples, people from the local rec centre, a fly fishing expert, plus draws for prizes like a round of golf or an equestrian trail ride,” Wayne says. “Maple Ridge is full of amazing outdoor activities, so this is a way we can showcase the great outdoor lifestyle people who live here enjoy every day.”

THOUGHTFUL STYLE

Inside, Highpointe homes define thoughtfully appointed elegance: Nine-ft. ceilings, European-styled appliances including gas cooktop,

climate control, and kitchens sure to get your culinary adventures ramped up.

Need another enticement? How about an innovation you simply won’t find elsewhere. Sundecks feature a combination of glass railings on the lower half and retractable Lumon brand windows on the upper. “So in winter, you have a fully enclosed solarium where you can still enjoy the feeling of being outside,” Wayne says. “Then in summer, just retract the glass and you’ve got an open, breezy balcony.” Brilliant.

MORTGAGE STRESS TEST

CHANGES CAMERON MCNEILL

You may have heard that the federal government recently announced changes to the mortgage stress test parameters – a mortgage qualifier test that changes the amount of mortgage you can be approved for or in other words, the price of a home you can afford.

28

A QUICK HISTORY LESSON

NEW STRESS TEST

In October 2016, the federal government introduced the mortgage stress test for the first time. The goal was to protect risk in an overheated market and ensure buyers could still afford their homes if interest rates were increased. Back in 2008, many people were caught purchasing their home with little equity, with no room to increase payments once interest rates started rising, although this was more prevalent in the States than here in Canada.

Borrowers with less than a 20 per cent down payment would have to qualify at the Bank of Canada’s five-year benchmark rate or their contractual mortgage rate plus an additional two per cent (whichever was higher). In 2018 it was expanded across all mortgages including those uninsured mortgages with more than a 20 per cent down payment. Again, it was added to help cool the market and potentially diminish speculators in the market.

Earlier this year, the government announced it would adjust the mortgage stress test to better reflect dynamic market changes.

Now the stress test will be based on a weekly median five-year fixed insured mortgage rate from mortgage insurance applications, plus two per cent. The intent of the stress test is still intact in that it is meant to ensure you can still make your payments if interest rates were to rise. However, as the market changes, it will better reflect the actual mortgage rates offered in the market and be updated more frequently.

Mar. 7–21, 2020

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

The truth? Not a lot. The change roughly equates to about 30 basis points or perhaps about three per cent more purchasing power. It’s helpful, but if you have been searching for a home recently, you’ll realize it does not drastically change your budget. In fact, several top executives at the

major banking institutes have all suggested that this will not have a big impact on the market and certainly not in areas like Toronto or Vancouver, where benchmark prices are high. The president and CEO of Scotiabank went further to suggest that rather than continue looking at the demand side of the equation, we need to be looking at the supply side as well if we want to see our markets balanced.

Reach out to your preferred mortgage broker or bank to understand how these changes, which will come into effect April 6, 2020, may affect you.

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.

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

if 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

NHCG: How long do I have to claim construction flaws?

New Home + Condo Guide: How does a person know

registry 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 multiunit (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.

34 New Home + Condo Guide |

Mar. 7–21, 2020

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 sub-trades 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.

She has 20 years of experience in licensing and the regulation of professionals, as well as legal matters, government, housing and consumer protection.

Copper Beech condos, pre-construction

BUILDING WITH STEEL STRONG AND SUSTAINABLE

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

British Columbia can get some pretty severe weather – from rain, sleet and snow, to everything in between. Our West Coast weather can really take a toll on our homes.

But there is a building material that stands up to water, wind and bugs: Steel. Stronger than wood, it’s fire resistant and bug proof.

When Liwell Properties decided to frame its newest four-storey condominium project, Copper Beech in Kelowna, they chose steel.

“The developer chose steel versus wood because they wanted to have a higher-end finished product available to consumers in Kelowna,” says JP Letnick, a 36

New Home + Condo Guide |

Mar. 7–21, 2020

real estate professional at Letnick Estates. “This will be one of the only low-rise steel frame condos in the Okanagan.”

Compared to wood-framed homes, steel is “a better building material, strong (three times the strength to weight ratio of wood), durable and it doesn’t warp, crack, split, nor is it combustible,” says Carly Crough, director of business development at LifeTec Construction Group, the company that framed Copper Beech.

“At LifeTec, we use cold form steel (CFS), a lighter gauge steel, which is different than the traditional hot steel that

you might see in construction,” Crough explains. “CFS delivers many advantages in the construction of wall panels, floor joists, roof trusses, and structural walls as well.”

Another real advantage of steel is to the builder’s bottom line.

During the framing stage when a house is exposed to the weather, a wood frame gets wet, and takes time to dry out.

“If the building gets wet, builders have to wrap it and dry it out before they can continue, resulting in time wasted,” says Crough. “Later, after the building is completed, there can be signs

Copper Beech condos, pre-construction

of the wood drying by cracks appearing and nails popping as the building settles. That will cost builders a lot of time and money to correct.”

Consequently, steel stands out for its speed and efficiency in construction.

Because moisture doesn’t seep into steel studs, installation is much faster and there is minimal expansion and contraction of construction materials around doors and windows where leaks can occur.

Yet a completed steel-framed house looks just like its woodframed neighbours. ‘’Steel framing is compatible with other building products,” says Crough. “You can install such features as wooden windows, doors and mouldings and use any exterior finish. Both the exterior and interior of the house or building will have a very traditional appearance.’’

Its advantages don’t end there.

Since steel framing stays straight and resists warping, and as the price of construction-grade lumber rises as the supply shrinks, steel becomes very cost effective.

Materials can be pre-cut to desired lengths so there is almost no waste, which translates into more savings.

However, in B.C., where “sustainability” is nearly a religion, one of steel’s most important advantages is environmental.

Steel not only gets bragging rights as the world’s most recycled material, it also generates no offgassing and does not require toxic chemicals to prevent depletion.

“On-site waste is reduced to less than one per cent and job sites are kept clean from sawdust,” says Crough, adding LifeTec uses between 20 to 25 per cent recycled raw steel. “It lasts longer than wood – in fact, CFS has no degradation in residential framing, and therefore can last 200 years versus 20 years for wood.”

The need for skilled resources to build a structure is primarily in the design stage and less so on-site.

“As 90 per cent of the process is completed before materials ever reach a building site, LifeTec can typically erect a structure in 25 per cent of the time that it would take to build in wood or concrete,” adds Crough. nexthome.ca 37

HUNTER WEST THE FUTURE OF NORTH SHORE LIVING There’s something about the North Shore. Fresh air, an abundance of hiking and cycling trails, plus great shopping, restaurants and a thriving arts and culture community.

If this is the kind of neighbourhood you’ve dreamed of calling home, you’ll want to take note of Hunter West, the second of two iconic towers located on Lynn Creek and adjacent to Seylynn and Bridgeman parks.

“Lower Lynn Creek is an area that’s truly coming into its own,” says Cody Medjuck, sales manager for Intergulf. “The development along Mountain Highway is creating a vibrant energy hub that’s attracting people, from first-time buyers to families to downsizers. It’s an eclectic, dynamic urban hub that just gets better and better.”

ACTIVE LIFESTYLE

Hunter is carefully designed to enhance the active, engaged lifestyle that defines the North Shore.

“When complete, there will be a new High Street with an inviting public plaza, access to a 27,000-sq.-ft. community centre that Intergulf is building right next door, and a diverse array of outdoor gathering spots, restaurants and eye-catching public art,” Cody says.

As a bonus, Seylynn Park is undergoing an extensive upgrade, and there will soon be a pedestrian bridge across Lynn Creek that will connect Hunter directly to the park and the Tilford Shopping Centre.

MAKING HOMEOWNERSHIP EASIER

Ready for even more good news? For a limited time, you can

purchase at Hunter for just 10 per cent down and you’ll earn a one-time 18 per cent credit on your deposit. “One young couple who bought a home here last week said that the combination of these two promotions was what made it possible for them to get into the market,” Cody says.

Hunter West is brought to you by Intergulf, a local developer with a long history of building on the North Shore including the original Lonsdale Quay. Presentation centre and display suites are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 1519 Hunter in North Vancouver. One-bedrooms from $602,900, two-bedrooms from $769,900 — 327 homes in total. For more information, visit hunterlynncreek.com or call 604.936.1888.

ALEXANDER SQUARE WHERE YOU’LL LOVE TO LIVE Construction is underway at Alexander Square, and that’s definitely creating a buzz of excitement on site at 208th Street and 80th Avenue.

“It’s really exciting for the people who’ve already purchased here because now they can actually watch their home being built,” says Toni Bucceri, Sales Manager. “For a lot of young professionals or couples who are just starting a family, this is their first home, so feeling like they’re part of the process makes it even more special.”

“Good news for downsizers,” Toni says, and there is still a good selection of the two-bedroom, two-bath corner suites that 46

New Home + Condo Guide |

Mar. 7–21, 2020

offer lock’n’go living without compromising on space. And as a bonus, all these homes have a window over the kitchen sink, and many have a den as well. Seriously, how often do you see a kitchen window in a condominium?

MARCH MADNESS

Now, just when you want even more of a ‘wow’ factor, for the entire month of March, Alexander Square will be offering some eyeopening buyer incentives. Hint: Gift cards to local merchants, a free television, even the opportunity to receive a free second parking stall. “You’ll have to come into our presentation centre to find out more,” Toni says.

CONVENIENCE AT YOUR DOORSTEP

Situated in Langley’s popular and well-established Willoughby neighbourhood, Alexander Square puts you just steps away from an ever-expanding array of retail options, eateries ranging from a fast snack to fine dining, yoga and other fitness outlets, plus parks and top-rated schools.

Alexander Square’s presentation centre is open noon to 5 p.m.

Saturday through Wednesday at 150 – 20202 66th Ave (across from BestBuy and between Ideal Image and the Adidas Outlet Store) in Langley. For more information, visit alexandersquare.ca.

BUYERS’ PROFILE

PETER AND SHIRLEY PURCHASE

A TOWNHOME

by SUSAN M BOYCE

Panoramic valley views are part of the lifestyle at Vista Green.

Buying a brand-new home was something Peter and Shirley* had never done. But after living in the same home in Tsawwassen for 31 years, they were ready.

“Both our daughters were married, so we were on our own,” Peter says. “Shirley was born in Chilliwack, and her sister still lives there. It just made sense for us to think about moving back there.”

EASY LIVING

The couple found a local Realtor and started looking at townhouses where they could enjoy a more carefree lifestyle after decades of continual maintenance on their aging family home. “We saw several that were nice, but none of them really appealed

to us,” Peter recalls. “And none of them were new.”

Then they discovered Vista Green.

Located on a hillside overlooking the Falls Golf Club, Vista Green’s duplex-style design with master-on-the-main and dazzling views immediately won their hearts. Plus, they’d heard many good things about the developer, Kerkhoff Construction.

“The location is very quiet — something that was important to us,” Peter says. “And the view is stunning. From our living room we can see the first tee and all across the valley toward Rosedale and Harrison.”

As a bonus, there were plenty of other dog owners, meaning

the couple soon got to know the neighbours while walking their black and white partipoodle.

MAKING IT SPECIAL

Shirley and Peter both say that the ability to customize cinched the deal. “One thing I really wanted was space for a pool table and wet bar,” Peter says.

“So rather than having a third bedroom on the lower level, we were able to make it into a rec room. When the kids come over, we all use it… a lot.”

The perfect move, the perfect time, the perfect setting. It was worth the 31-year wait.

The Lower Mainland’s abundance of water and mountains makes connecting with nature a breeze.

Townhome living, with added amenities and proximity to the outdoors, can offer a lifestyle on par, if not better, than a typical traditional single-family home.

Ridgemont, a picturesque community tucked away between the coastal mountains and the winding Fraser River in Maple Ridge, is bordered by protected parkland and lofty treetops, bringing nature to your doorstep.

Built by HAVAN member Nordel Homes, the community’s exteriors bring forth beautiful west coastinspired architecture to a serene natural setting.

Minutes from Alouette Lake and the pristine coastal mountains, the area boasts more than 200 kilometers of multi-use trails, numerous parks and beaches, an active equestrian community, as well as countless opportunities for biking, hiking and kayaking.

The West Coast Express station for easy commutes, a variety of shops and services, restaurants and highly rated schools close at hand, make Maple Ridge a viable community to call home.

These spacious townhomes are perfect for family life. The interiors feature high ceilings, bright and open floorplans, and offer options for both three bedroom and threebedroom-plus-den layouts.

Ridgemont effortlessly combines nature with functionality. Upon entering the community, the neighbourly feeling is evident. The convenient on-site amenity building act as an extension to each home, providing additional entertaining space for those special life events, including a fully functioning kitchen for those larger gatherings.

Built with the quality and care of a local, reputable developer, Nordel Developments Ltd.’s journey began over two decades ago; a group of friends came together with a vision of building homes distinguished by superb quality and long-lasting value.

They began constructing luxurious single-family homes and quickly garnered a reputation for uncompromised quality and meticulous attention to detail.

Expanding to include multi-family townhomes, Nordel Developments Ltd. has since become one of the

elite construction companies in the Lower Mainland.

Strength, safety, security, convenience – Nordel proudly stands behind every home it builds.

Built with a 50-year warranty on low-maintenance Foundry vinyl siding, a 30-year manufacture warranty on reinforced asphalt shingle roof with R40 insulation, and energy-saving double-glazed vinyl windows and patio doors, the Ridgemont development is built to last.

Representing the home building industry in Metro Vancouver since 1974, the Homebuilders’ Association Vancouver (HAVAN), a not-for-profit society is proudly affiliated with the provincial and national Canadian Home Builders’ Associations. Follow Ron @HAVANofficial or email ron@havan.ca

FIVE ROAD STYLE. QUALITY. COMFORT. Turning heads in south Richmond, Five Road is a boutique collection of 47 move-in ready townhomes brought to you by Anthem.

“Five Road is centrally located with convenient access to everything,” says Ben Taylor, director of sales. “You’re right across the street from the fiveacre Garden Park and a daycare, you can walk to Ironwood Plaza and Coppersmith Corner for shopping and restaurants, and top schools including the elite Richmond Christian School are close by.”

All this plus Steveston Village is just a short bike ride away, making it easy to grab fish and chips on the waterfront or bring home the catch of the day fresh off the fishing boats.

angular and inviting with large overhangs, over-sized windows, and eye-catching wood details.

Inside, these three- and fourbedroom townhomes have an open, airy ambiance that feels more like single-family living thanks to the wider than usual design.

Kitchens include custom storage solutions such as pantries and open shelving, master suites feature soaring 12-ft. ceilings, and some plans even include an open den with skylight on the upper landing.

But it’s the B Plan that Ben says is creating a true buzz of excitement. “In this plan we’ve included a full wok kitchen directly behind the main cooking area. It’s unheard of to have a wok kitchen in a townhome — especially one with a gas cooktop, high-powered Sakura hood fan, and a window.

“Typically, you’d only find this feature in a custom, single-family home, but it’s such a functional

addition, we’ve included it as a standard in this plan.”

There’s also a two-level 1,586-sq.-ft. plan he says has been especially popular with downsizers who want the convenience of lock’n’go living without having to sacrifice space.

And here’s yet another cool feature designed to make your home future-ready — a side-byside garage that’s prewired for an EV charging station. Great for you and the environment, too.

Come see for yourself. The Five Road presentation centre and two display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. Saturday through Wednesday (closed Thursday/ Fridays) or by appointment any time at 10511 No. 5 Road in Richmond (just north of Steveston Highway).

UDI FRASER VALLEY MAYORS’ PANEL SIX COMMUNITIES SPEAK UP

by SUSAN M BOYCE

Almost 300 people braved the inclement weather in late-January to find out what six Fraser Valley mayors are working on to make their communities the place people choose to call home.

With well-known real estate expert Don Campbell, owner of Cutting Edge Research Inc. and senior analyst with the Real Estate Investment Network as moderator, expectations — and speculations — were high.

The panel was a star-studded one: Mayor Pam Alexis (District of Mission), Mayor Henry Braun (City of Abbotsford), Mayor Jack Froese (Township of Langley), Mayor Ken Popove (City of Chilliwack), and Mayor Val Van Den Broek (City of Langley) were part of the panel discussion which took place at the Langley Events Centre. Noticeably 64

New Home + Condo Guide |

Mar. 7–21, 2020

absent, however, was Mayor Doug McCallum (City of Surrey) who instead sent Councillor Linda Annis to represent the province’s second largest city, one that’s growing at a rate of well over 1,000 new residents per month.

IMPROVING COMMUNITIES

Creating communities that are more transit-oriented and pedestrian-friendly was a hot topic. And making it easier for all demographics to live, work, and play in their own community soon emerged as the favoured way to achieve this goal.

Chilliwack has earmarked $15 million for a significant infrastructure project to help alleviate what Popove described as the “gong show” that is the current highway system. And he predicted

that in addition to an already efficient bus service, his city will have a SkyTrain connection within the next decade.

Popove also reminded the audience that Chilliwack typically processes development permits in four to six weeks and rezoning in three to six months — time frames that are a fraction of what developers face in most other Metro Vancouver/Fraser Valley cities.

For Braun, Abbotsford is “ready, willing, and able” to contribute its portion of costs in order to achieve what he sees as a necessary widening of Highway 1 — a major transportation and shipping corridor that’s experienced a 40 per cent increase in traffic over the past two years alone.

He also noted the city currently has 500 building applications in the pipeline representing 5,400 residential units, 80 per cent of them cost-friendly multi-family.

Mission’s mayor was enthusiastic that the 296-acre waterfront revitalisation currently underway will provide a more walkable core and allow people to work locally. Alexis said 70 per cent of the district’s residents currently have to travel to different municipalities for work every day — almost the opposite of Abbotsford, where 65 per cent are employed within city limits.

Latimer Heights in the Township of Langley

A spontaneous round of applause rippled through the room when Van Den Broek noted that “ridehailing services are here now and are part of [efficient] transportation.” The potential of SkyTrain from Langley to UBC will be “a game-changer” that she intends to be prepared for. With 700 properties under construction and about 2,000 in the pipeline, she says she believes her city will be well positioned with a diverse variety of housing options in place ahead of SkyTrain’s arrival.

Surprisingly, Annis chose to evade a direct response, stating only that Surrey is “developing a 10year transportation plan with a goal to have one job per employable person.”

Campbell’s final question to the panel was an unusual one: How did the panel want the development community, the people sitting in the room, to measure its progress over the next 12 months? Each was given only a couple of minutes to respond, although most ran overtime.

Perhaps it was because the question was unexpected, but the majority of the answers didn’t sound like answers at all.

The News in Abbotsford

Alexis stressed timelines in Mission have already been reduced and encouraged developers to ensure all applications were filled out correctly. Van Den Broek suggested industry participation in the City of Langley’s surveys would significantly speed up change. Froese reminded the crowd that the Township of Langley can now approve a development at third reading, thus streamlining the process. And Annis indicated Surrey is currently working on a clearer definition of what comprises a Smart City, which was the only time the term had been raised in the discussion.

Only two mayors responded directly to the question as it was posed. Popove wanted Chilliwack to be measured by whether it maintains its no debt, pay-as-you-go policy and lowest tax rates in the Valley. Braun was equally succinct — he said Abbotsford should be judged by whether the city has its new strategic plan complete, in place, and moving forward. Interestingly, Braun and Popove were also the only panelists who responded in less than their allotted time — suggesting brevity is not only the soul of wit, it’s good politics too. nexthome.ca 65

Highline at Metrotown, the highly anticipated residential tower is now previewing.

The limited first release of homes represents a rare chance to own in the tallest tower on Beresford and get in on 2020’s first Metrotown project at a price that won’t last.

The building’s features, unmatched views in all directions and the homes’ finishing details meet the highest expectations. Additionally, residents will gain exclusive access to Club Highline - a health and social club, just an elevator ride away.

Construction has begun, sales to commence this Spring.
