EDITOR’S NOTE

IT’S STILL A BUYERS’ MARKET

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

+

According to a Royal LePage House Pricing Survey released Oct. 10, the buyers’ market in Vancouver is holding strong.

“As the housing market stabilizes, we’ve seen an increasing number of homebuyers become willing to enter the market. We expect activity to continue to pick up as we head into the end of 2019,” says Randy Ryalls, general manager, Royal LePage Sterling Realty in a press release.

“Higher inventory levels in some areas are offering buyers multiple options to choose from. They are not in a rush. These days may be coming to an end.”

If you’ve been waiting for the right time to look for a new home, that time is now. Head out and see what’s available. You may be surprised at some of the special pricing and incentives being offered that may not last.

We’d like to help get you started. In this issue of New Home + Condo Guide, we feature more than half a dozen profiles on some exciting new projects that have something for every kind of buyer, from cosy condos and luxurious three- and four-bedroom homes, to everything in between.

Plus, fabulous features on condo building design, interior design, expert advice and a whole lot more.

So, along with that delicious pumpkin-spiced latte, we hope you enjoy this issue of NextHome. If there is something you would like us to write about, we’d love to hear from you. Happy house hunting!

SEPTEMBER 28

ConDo EXPo METRo VAnCouVER 2019 Vancouver’s first Condo Expo was a huge success on Sept. 28, at the JW Marriott Parc Hotel.

Developers, real estate marketing agencies and realtors put up exhibits featuring everything from high-end luxury homes to new virtual reality marketing options. Breakout sessions by industry experts in design, finance and real estate complemented the many booths featuring developments like Akimbo, Aristotle, Cambie Gardens, Era, Gilmore Place and Horizon 21.

Tsawwassen Landing unveils two new show homes A new part of Tsawwassen’s exciting masterplanned seaside community opened up for viewing on Sept. 21 with Onni’s Tsawwassen Landing unveiling two new single-family show homes and the new presentation centre. Visitors enjoyed a barbecue lunch before checking out the unusually spacious new homes, averaging over 2,000 sq. ft., with many including an approximately 650-sq.ft., one-bedroom coach house apartment located above the two-car garage. Beautifully airy, with clean, classic architecture and the latest in modern home technology, these homes are in the heart of this new community right around the corner from Tsawwassen Mills Mall, the beach and a new school.

DiD you know?

According to Bloomberg: “Vancouver home sales rebounded 46 per cent in September in a sign that Canada’s most expensive home market may be finding its feet following a policy-driven downturn.”

Adera’s 50th anniversary An enthusiastic crowd came together on Oct. 2 at the Fairmont Pacific Rim Star Sapphire Ballroom to celebrate 50 years of the Adera Development Corporation. Adera has proven its commitment to quality, sustainability and customer service in every home it makes, and has given back to the communities it serves though philanthropy. Eric Andreasen, senior VP of marketing and sales, spoke about Adera’s

long-time commitment to Smartwood technology, its award-winning innovation in wood home building, as well as its charitable efforts. This year, Adera’s Ken Mahon Golf Classic raised more than $101,000 to benefit local charities and youth organizations, and as part of its 50th anniversary celebrations, the company has made global charity commitments that will total over $1 million.

Realco launches phase two in Scott & Nicholson More than 200 people flocked to see what all the fuss was about with Realco’s Scott & Nicholson second phase, after the first phase sold out in a mere three weeks earlier this year. There were food trucks and live music to celebrate this launch in the heart of diverse North Delta, and over 60 homes were sold in the opening weekend, according to Nicole Magnusson of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing.

These one- to three-bedroom low-rise condominium homes feature attractive west coast architecture, large patios and generous outdoor amenity spaces.

Cover Story

Latimer Village

Urban sophistication and beautiful greenspaces

Latimer Heights is one of the most exciting communities ever in the Township of Langley – one that is arguably slated to become an iconic landmark.

“This is the largest masterplanned community in the Township’s history,” says Christine Turner, marketing manager at Vesta Properties, adding the Township has never before seen any new construction on this scale.

Rounding out this spectacular community is Latimer Village, a curated collection of one-, twoand three-bedroom urban condos in the centre of it all, opening Oct. 26.

“Latimer Village is in the heart and soul of Latimer Heights,” says 18 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

Turner. “When Latimer Village is completed, there will be condos, restaurants, shops, services and office buildings.”

GorGeous interiors

Inside the beautifully appointed condos, the attention to detail is second to none. Ranging from 506 to 1,331 sq. ft., the thoughtfully curated homes highlight nine-ft. ceilings with oversized windows flooding the rooms with natural light, quality laminate hardwood throughout the living area, and plush carpeting in the bedrooms.

Chef-inspired kitchens are equipped with premium stainlesssteel appliances, including a gas stove (standard in each home),

French door fridge with ice and water dispenser – perfect for entertaining family and friends.

At the end of a busy day, retreat to your master suite with its spacious walk-in closet and spainspired ensuite complete with deep soaker tub, deluxe frameless shower with hand-set, floor-to-ceiling tile surround and quartz countertops. tHe best of botH worLds

But that’s not all. Just outside your door is a Zen-like park and pond area, both of which connect to a series of neighbourhood walking pathways, sure to inspire an active lifestyle.

Getting to and from anywhere in Metro Vancouver has never been easier.

“We’re very close to the Carvolth Exchange Park and Ride, so getting to the SkyTrain will be super easy and there’s also great access to the Trans-Canada Highway,” adds Turner. “In addition, the parks, the greenspaces and the recreational opportunities in Langley are fantastic. It’s a city attracting everyone from firsttime homebuyers and families to retirees.”

Concord Pacific Park opening

It was a beautiful sunny day for the opening of Ketcheson Park at Concord Gardens in Richmond, Concord Pacific’s newest public park.

At 12:30 p.m., the mayor of Richmond, Malcolm Brodie,

along with the Concord Pacific team and landscape architect joined together to plant the last tree in this spectacular new urban greenspace, featuring reflecting pools, meandering streams, and a children’s playground.

IDS West and interior design The Vancouver Convention Centre was buzzing with colour and light from Sept. 26 to 29 when the interior design show IDS West brought thousands of designers, shoppers and tradespeople together to celebrate the newest and best of west coast interior design. Speakers from HGTV, interactive spaces, wine tastings and pop-ups made this year’s event one to remember.

UDI luncheon with Bob Rennie

The Sheraton Vancouver Wall Centre hosted another soldout luncheon on Sept. 26, moderated by Bob Rennie.

Titled, A Candid Conversation with Bob Rennie – The Impact of New Jobs and New Workplaces on the Region, the sit-down lunch featured speakers Victor Coleman, of Hudson Pacific Properties; Dennis Lopez, CEO of QuadReal; and Jill Schnarr, VP of Telus Corporate Citizenship and Communications. The three discussed the changing landscape of housing and commuting with new corporate headquarters in the tech sector moving many new people to the city, as well as the trend of more people choosing to work from home. The conversation touched on how to attract more tech corporations to the city and society’s responsibility to end homelessness, an increasing and complex problem Vancouver shares with many other growing cities.

Wilder Crossing In Step wIth nature It’s where quality craftsmanship and design intersect with natural beauty and a sense of community. This is Wilder Crossing, a boutique collection of 51 townhomes located on the newly restored banks of Jeffries Brook in Langley’s dynamic Willoughby neighbourhood.

Brought to you by Infinity Properties, a family-run company that’s proud of its long history of living and working in Langley, Wilder Crossing offers growing families and downsizers the space and flexibility they need and the meticulous attention to detail they deserve.

StyliSh by DeSign

From the street, Wilder Crossing presents all the charm of a country village — steeply sloped, gabled roofs that mimic the surrounding treelines, HardiPlank siding in soft, muted earth tones, plus covered stoops at the front entryway and a modern twist on classic picket fences.

26 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

Inside, these three- and four-bedroom homes feature inviting, open-concept floorplans that make light work of entertaining or simply hanging out together as a family.

As you’d expect, kitchens are designed to bring out the culinary adventurer — and with plenty of casual seating at the island’s eating bar, you can be sure this will become the social hub in no time. Or take the cooking outside to the back deck where there’s a natural-gas hookup so you’ll never run out of fuel midway.

All homes include the convenience of a main-floor powder room. And for mom and dad, there’s a spainspired master suite with vaulted ceiling, because sometimes you just need a little private, adult time and a bubble bath by candlelight.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

MOVING POOL TABLES SAFELY CHUCK RESNICK

When it comes to moving large, bulky items, it’s best to leave it to the pros. Here’s a bit of insight into moving pool tables safely.

A pool table must be taken apart before moving it. Depending on the age of the table, you may or may not have the original documentation on how it was put together and how to take it apart.

Usually, the side rails and pockets come off, and the felt must be carefully removed.

Depending on the size of the

table, it will be composed of up to three large, heavy pieces of slate that comprise the playing surface.

These slate surface pieces are often held into place on the frame with screws covered with bees wax. You have to know to look for these; otherwise you can do damage. Each section of slate has to be wrapped in moving blankets.

The slate pieces should not be laid flat in the truck, as being jostled during the trip will create stress points that could cause cracks. The slate pieces should be secured vertically at the sides of the truck and should not come into contact with anything else during transport.

When it’s time to reassemble the table at the other end, it’s

important to know just how heavy it is and place the sections of it carefully, realizing that its weight can have an effect on floorbearing capacity. Ideally, pool tables should go into a basement on a concrete floor.

When it comes to a pool table, consider hiring a professional moving company. Neither you nor an inexperienced mover should learn the process while handling large, bulky possessions.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

Fort Langley National Historic Site

TOWnsHIP OF LangLey/ City of LangLey

by MICHeLLe HOPkIns

Langley is divided into two districts – Langley City and the Township of Langley, which features the idyllic village of Fort Langley. The Township is encircled on the north by the Fraser River and to its south, the United States border. Meanwhile, Langley City is directly east of Surrey and surrounded by the Township.

LIFEstyLE

Nestled amid lush parks, coffee shops, boutiques and tree-lined streets, Fort Langley just about oozes with quaintness overload – we say this in a very positive way.

30 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

VIBE

Both districts seem to enjoy a slower pace of life. It’s no wonder the vibe here is chilled, yet active, with many residents enjoying a cycle, walk or hike.

MEEt tHE NEIGHBOURs

Many young families are drawn to the Township because of its affordability. In fact, of the Township’s 121,000 residents, 62 per cent are aged 55 or younger, and of those, 51 per cent have some form of higher education.

With a growth rate of 12.6 per cent over the last census period (2011-2016), the population is

expected to double by 2040 – making it the sixth largest municipality in Metro Vancouver.

The City is predominantly a family-oriented community, with 81 per cent young families with 20 per cent children under 20 years old. Also, more affordable than other Greater Vancouver neighbourhoods, Langley City has one of the highest proportions of young urban singles.

IN tHE AREA

If you like to play the slots, tables, poker or bingo, you’ll be happy to know Langley City is home to the Cascades Casino Resort. It

HOT SpotS

Fort Langley Street

Saba Café & biStro This casual chic eatery is arguably one of Fort Langley’s hangouts. For good reason. It began its life as a bakery and morphed into where locals head to break bread together – whether brunch, lunch or dinner.

Artist rendition of Latimer Village Chaberton eState Winery

also features a hotel, spa, a few restaurants, and a convention centre. For those with a penchant for studies, Kwantlen Polytechnic University has a campus here.

Built in 1827, Fort Langley developed around the site of a Hudson’s Bay Company furtrading post. The post purchased or traded furs from the local Aboriginal population (including the Kwantlen people) and serviced the British Empire via the Fraser.

Today, people can discover its rich past at the Fort Langley National Historic Site, which boasts a CN train station and a former Fort trading post.

PLANEs, tRAINs & AUtOMOBILEs

Langley is car-dependent. It is easy to get in and out of both the city and township via Highway 1 or for a more scenic route, take 0 Avenue. Commuting to Vancouver by transit will take you an hour

on most days. However, the Township is only 20 minutes to the Abbotsford Airport.

REAL EstAtE: (NEw BUILDs)

Both the City and Township are booming.

In 2018, Langley City more than doubled its average annual construction value, up to $113 million from a 10-year average annual construction value of $48.6 million.

The Township’s largest project in its history is the master-planned, Europeaninspired community of Latimer Heights, which will include a mix of 2,000 homes, 17 acres of greenspace and a new elementary school. Vesta Properties is a major player here with its launch of Latimer Village, which once completed, will showcase 10 lowrises, featuring 500 condos, office and retail space.

The largest and oldest winery in the Fraser Valley, Chaberton is nestled amongst 40+ acres of planted vines. It is also home to Bacchus Bistro, a romantic classic French restaurant serving fabulous farm-to-table cuisine. Or bring your own fare, grab a picnic table and raise a glass from any one of its 25 awardwinning wines.

LittLe White houSe & Co Built in 1930, the Little White House is truly a triple threat – it offers a great curated selection of antiques, stunning women’s fashions, and a Parisian-inspired café, a popular spot for bridal shower lunches and tea parties, all combined in a quaint, charming historic house. nexthome.ca 31

CONDO DESIGNS ADAPT TO POPULARITY OF ON-LINE SHOPPING AND FOOD DELIVERY

by MICHELLE HOPKINS

Left photo: Snaile lockers line the hallway of a condo lobby.

Right photo: Patrick Armstrong, CEO of Snaile Inc. 38 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

Online shopping is exploding, driven mostly by Millennials who love the ease and convenience of home delivery. According to Opstart, in 2011, Canadians spent $6.6 billion on online purchases.

By 2016, that amount tripled to $19.2 billion and is expected to rise to $39 billion this year.

It’s not only parcel distributions that are increasing. Canadians are embracing grocery and food deliveries, too. It hasn’t taken long for companies like Whole Foods, Skip the Dishes and Loblaw to jump on the E-Commerce bandwagon.

But as online shopping continues to grow, so do the issues with delivery. That’s because many residents aren’t home during the day to accept their parcels. Much of the delivery and security responsibilities falls onto a concierge, if there even is one, or packages are simply left in the lobby for residents to find and pick-up.

Concerns over theft and misplaced deliveries have become factors driving multi-family developers in B.C. to rethink the configuration of their condominium buildings.

Five years ago, Vancouver’s Bosa Properties was one of the first developers to introduced its BosaFresh program, special temperature-controlled delivery rooms in its new condo buildings.

Lockers for parcels and cool storage for groceries located in BOSA Properties’ Pendrell building.

“These cold storage rooms have now morphed into refrigerated lockers,” says Mark Kopinya, Bosa vicepresident of development. “We are always thinking about how to create better living experiences in our condo towers.”

Bosa recently completed RiverSky, two towers in New Westminster with 519 condominiums, boasting both refrigerated and parcel lockers.

“As online shopping keeps increasing, we have had to adapt some of our new towers’ lobbies at the last minute,” says Kopinya. “As technology continues to evolve, we continuously watch trends to see what is required in our new projects. It’s all about Bosa wanting to make life easier and more seamless for our condo owners.”

Another local developer, Boffo Properties, is implementing an electronic locker system in the lobbies of its upcoming Coquitlam project, Smith & Farrow towers.

“In-building package delivery acceptance is no doubt a growing demand and something that homeowners are beginning to expect,” says Laura Anzulovich, Boffo Developments Ltd. marketing manager. “The design of a building’s first-floor common area needs to be reconsidered to account for the space required for this influx of parcel delivery and storage. Today’s homeowners need somewhere to store their endless Amazon orders and keep their grocery delivery cold until they get home from work. The only way to respond to this demand is to incorporate new technology and systems, while eliminating manual sorting by a concierge and

unpleasant mounds of boxes stacked in lobbies.”

Basically, lockers contain compartments of various sizes and some that are refrigerated, including a tower with a built-in touchscreen application that a courier would use to check-in packages.

“A resident of the building will get a text message notification that a package has arrived for them with a code to enter on the touchscreen when they retrieve the package,” notes Anzulovich. “This system eliminates the middle-man, keeps deliveries organized and allows for a seamless package pickup for residents.”

Patrick Armstrong, CEO of Snaile Inc., an Ontario-based company that produces automated parcel lockers, says the “demand for refrigerated and parcel lockers in multi-residential buildings in B.C. has spiked greatly.

“Vancouver is on par with Toronto for installing parcel rooms or lockers in their new builds,” says Armstrong, adding lockers are typically located in the vestibule, lobby or courtyard. “We are also seeing demand for lockers in existing buildings because concierges just can’t handle the sheer volume of online parcel deliveries.”

Automated parcel lockers are not only convenient but secure.

“These lockers are very thick. They are bolted to both the floor and wall and are equipped with bank-like cameras,” says Armstrong. “With E-Commerce anticipated to be the largest retail channel by 2020, the need for these lockers will only continue to grow.” nexthome.ca 39

Altus White Rock Living

+

lOcatiOn White Rock BuildeR Oviedo Developments

There’s just something special about White Rock. Perhaps it’s the ocean breezes or the boutiques and lively restaurants along the waterfront. Maybe it’s because this charming, seaside community boasts more annual hours of sunshine than Hawaii. Whatever the reason, people who live here seldom choose to leave.

Which is why savvy homebuyers are taking a close look at Altus, a spectacular 12-storey residence with dramatic architecture and views that will leave you breathless.

Ideal for downsizers, these homes are spacious and elegant — some offering three-bedrooms and more than 2,700 sq. ft. of lock’n’go living and a one-of-a-kind setting.

“Oh wow” features include nine- or 10-ft.-ceilings, entertainment-sized island often with display shelving and wine storage, custom millwork 42 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

throughout, and plenty of floorto-ceiling windows to maximize enjoyment of the surrounding view.

Amenities, too, are thoughtfully designed for engaged living.

There’s a fireside lounge with a pool table and caterer’s kitchen, a state-of-the-art fitness centre so you can ditch the gym membership, full concierge service, and secure bike storage.

change for sure. But I know it’s going to be a fantastic one.”

“Relative to everything I’d seen in the market, Altus is an amazing value,” says one happy buyer.

“The suites are also larger than others in this area. And because we will have a huge deck, I can still have a garden with a pergola and maybe a fire-bowl. We’ll be able to eat and entertain outside.

And the view of Semiahmoo Bay is amazing. I am so pumped about this. It’s going to be a lifestyle

Altus is located at North Bluff (16th Avenue) and Finlay.

Presentation centre open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 1589 Maple Street in White Rock. Don’t miss out. With prices starting in the low $800,000s, you’ll want to grab your dream suite before it’s gone. For more information, visit altuswhiterock.com or call 778.294.7794.

THE TIDE IS TURNING ON OCEAN VIEW PROPERTY

The ebb and flow of the market has washed over the Lower Mainland, and like many, White Rock real estate has slowed in 2019. And while we all know that cycles come and go – we also know that real quality endures. So it’s with great excitement that the quality and enduring value of Altus in White Rock is now under construction.

For those who have joined the Altus community and named us “The Best New Ocean View Homes in the City”, the start of construction means you’re one step closer to moving in. If you haven’t visited the Presentation Center and discovered the convenience of a full-time Concierge, the Oak Room, and ocean views, we hope to see you soon because the tide is turning and homes like these will be the last of their kind in White Rock for many years to come.

PRESENTATION CENTRE 1589 Maple Street White Rock, BC Open Daily 12 - 5pm (Closed Fridays)

Live once, live well, live at Altus.

The futurE of

housIng Cameron mCneill

As lifestyles and technologies rapidly shift, so, too, do the needs and preferences of homeowners. The features in demand yesterday and today may be obsolete tomorrow, which is why developers and real estate marketers pay close attention to trend forecasts and study homeowner needs. It wasn’t so long ago that the ideal home was one sectioned into kitchen, dining and living areas – each space divided by walls. And who can forget pink bathrooms, wall-towall carpeting, and slatted closet doors? In contrast, homes today favour open-concept layouts and design that won’t date itself 10 years down the line.

Beyond personal taste, there are several drivers that shape the way we live. Among them are sustainability, technology, demographics, and work culture.

Energy-efficiency is not just having a moment – it’s the future of living. Passive house systems are gaining in popularity and electric car charging stations are more commonly featured in parking spaces. Homebuyers want to contribute to a healthier planet, and they will increasingly seek out the developments that prioritize sustainability.

The remote control used to be the most forward-thinking technology in homes. Now there 44 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

are screens built into mirrors and refrigerators that tell you when your food is going bad. Smart phones connect to thermostats, speakers, security systems and lighting. We have more control over our living spaces than ever before – and this will only escalate.

Baby Boomers are leaving singlefamily homes to downsize, while Millennials are starting families later and staying single for longer. Yet, across these demographic shifts, people still want to experience a sense of belonging. Communal gardens and workshops take the place of private yards and garages, while yoga studios, games rooms, and catering kitchens create new opportunities to experience community. Shared indoor and outdoor amenities will become ever more creative to appeal to specific age groups and lifestyle trends.

Speaking of amenities, we are seeing increasing demand for co-working spaces as companies allow employees to work remotely and the freelance economy thrives. Those who do still work in an office aren’t keen on commuting. Urban centres are rising in areas that

were once considered the suburbs, shortening or eliminating commutes to the office. These new commercial and residential hubs are usually anchored by efficient transit systems that remove the need for a car – and parking spaces.

Some things will always be a priority. According to a 2017 study conducted by Resonance Consultancy on the Future of B.C. Housing, 65 per cent of survey respondents look for a home with private outdoor space and 51 per cent say storage is an important consideration. Our cities and lifestyles are rapidly transforming, and it’s an exciting time to experience and curate what’s next.

PROPERTY PROFILE

50 ELECTRONIC AVENUE WHERE CITY MEETS NATURE Port Moody: A city undergoing a vibrant transformation from sleepy suburb to cool and happening Lower Mainland hotspot.

It’s also where you’ll discover 50 Electronic Avenue, a masterplanned community with character, history and a setting that’s tough to beat.

Located on 3.5-acres where Chisholm Industries, a familyowned-and-operated business built state-of-the-art televisions throughout the 1950s, the property is now being redeveloped by another local family business, the multi-generational Panatch Group. And clearly it’s resonating with homebuyers looking for something stylish and different.

The initial phase is over 80 per cent sold and people are holding their breath in anticipation of phase two.

CELEBRATE THE OUTDOORS

“Our outdoor amenities truly are the jewel of this community,” says Eshleen Panatch with a contagious enthusiasm. But think way beyond a few park benches 54 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

and a barbecue area. Anchored by the freestanding Club 50 amenity building, these outdoor spaces — almost an acre in total — are thoughtfully and deliberately designed with unique personalities and a variety of planned uses.

“We wanted to create places that bring people together — sometimes people with common interests, sometimes people who might never have met otherwise,” Eshleen explains. “For example, by locating urban garden plots next to the dog run, a senior and a young professional might strike up a conversation that would never have happened if they simply passed in the hallway.”

Scattered throughout this elevated backyard are five secluded courtyards where you might discover a bamboo grove for quiet contemplation or a spot in the sun where you can share conversation and lattés with your best friend. There’s a playground and the Great Lawn where kids of all ages can kick around a soccer ball or test their bocce skills.

“Loneliness has become a big

issue in today’s society,” Eshleen says. “This is one way we can help alleviate it. Because 50 Electronic Avenue isn’t just a place to live, it’s a community.”

The 50 Electronic Avenue presentation centre and display suites are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 50 Electronic Avenue in Port Moody. For more information visit 50electronicave.com or call 604.492.2202.

Ovation Award winner for Best Single-Family Detached Home: 2,400 sq. ft. and over, and FortisBC Award for Excellence in Energy Efficiency in New Residential Construction, Southcrest is an excellent example of a home that delivers efficiencies in design and building, too.

The gorgeous L-shaped kitchen specifically designed for a larger home functions beautifully in this open-concept plan. Positioned near the garage entry, ease of access to the pantry and outdoor patio keep kitchen tasks efficient when cooking for family and friends.

The large oversized island easily seats four, while housing a commercial grade beverage cooler. A USB outlet located inisland offers modern practicality.

A natural flow from the kitchen to various destinations in the home is apparent by design with a seamless integration between indoor/outdoor living. The warm and inviting ambiance can be felt 56 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

with abundant light streaming through large windows.

Efficiencies are not limited to the design and floorplans alone.

The building envelope is inspected by a registered professional engineer for roofing, windows and doors, including insulation and vapour barrier, sheathing-membranes, flashing, cladding, caulking, deck membranes, and foundation damp proofing, offering assurance the building is airtight to increase energy efficiencies and quality of living.

Individually metered, the homes offer the comfort and savings realized with a naturalgas furnace, hot-water heater, gas fireplace, gas range, and gas connection to the BBQ on the back deck.

Windows are low-e, argonfilled double paned – Smart Glass registered.

Plumbing, stacked where possible, includes 1.28-gallon ADA-compliant toilets and low-flow faucets. A recirculating

system provides for quick access to hot water, saving energy and water.

Flooring is a TJI hardwood system – seven-eighths-inch, tongue-and-groove, gold-edged, glued, nailed and screwed to further minimize squeaks.

HIGHPOINTE ELEVATED LIVING You know what you want in a home. You want quality, sophisticated style, and a location that puts you within walking distance to all the amenities of urban living. Well, say hello to Highpointe.

Located overlooking the Fraser River and adjacent to a seven-acre park, this collection of just 153 apartment residences is like nothing you’ve seen in Maple Ridge.

An astonishing 39 floorplans, including family-friendly city homes at ground level and two-storey, sky loft penthouses with soaring 18-ft. ceiling in the living room, mean your toughest decision may well be which one most perfectly suits your lifestyle.

SUPERIOR CONSTRUCTION

“This is the only lowrise residence under construction in the Lower Mainland that’s 100 per cent steel 58 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

and concrete construction,” says Wayne Lyle, sales and marketing director.

“It’s simply a better, safer construction than wood frame. It’s fireproof, 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.”

THOUGHTFUL STYLE

Inside, Highpointe homes define thoughtfully appointed elegance: Nine-ft. ceilings, European appliances including gas cooktop, climate control, and kitchens sure to get your culinary adventures ramped up.

And here’s an innovation you simply won’t find elsewhere.

Sundecks feature a combination of glass railings on the lower half and

retractable 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.

Highpointe is ideally located on a sloped property in a quiet, existing neighbourhood.

With panoramic views of Mount Baker and the Fraser River, and it’s an easy walk to downtown Maple Ridge, the West Coast Express, and a new B-Line to the Evergreen Line.

Presentation centre and display suite now previewing at 11641 – 227th Street. For more information and to book an appointment and register for updates as they’re released, visit highpointeliving.ca.

Designer Jo Alcorn creates a charming girl’s bedroom in a small space.

60 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

I

love designing bedrooms. They come in all shapes and sizes, so a cookie-cutter approach doesn’t work, especially when the space is small or awkward. For this bedroom, I was met with a host of challenges. I had to come up with a unique sleeping arrangement and lots of storage for three little girls in one small room.

Fitting three girls into a small space certainly made sleeping a challenge. My only option was bunk beds. With tight space restrictions, I had to take it a step further and have custom beds created. To have them fit into this

small, square room, I had to get creative! First, I turned the hinges on the bedroom door so that it would open in the other direction.

Then I built in a wall, creating a pseudo hallway inside the room.

That wall was able to serve as a headboard, and I mounted the bed ladder right on the wall, making use of every square inch of space.

Because little girls have a lot of stuff, I embedded drawers on wheels under the bed and added an open shelving area for additional storage. We also tucked a window seat into the wall and surrounded it with storage, too.

“

Because little girls have a lot of stuff, I embedded drawers on wheels under the bed and added an open shelving area for additional storage.

”

I wanted to add texture and a modern twist by changing the closet doors to Masonite’s Melrose Safe ‘n Sound door, from Metrie (metrie.com). I went with their Safe ‘n Sound core option for the weight and feel of the door, and most importantly, to keep the noise down.

For room accessories, I looked to Wayfair.ca for some great finds. I added their geo-shaped wallpaper to create a feature wall.

I also used their stylish blackout blinds in all white; its soft, cascading design made the space seem larger and airy. I accented the room with light colours through a patterned rug and the polka-dot sheets – which keeps the room looking clean and fun at the same time.

I added hypoallergenic, dust mite control, fully washable pillows and bedding from my line called Alcorn Home (alcornhome.com). I cannot stress enough the importance of “washable” with little ones! Finally,

I added some pink velvet pillows (also washable), and a black and white throw blanket to balance off the wallpaper at the end of the bed.

The artwork is another source of colour and pattern. By enlarging and hanging cute family photos, it added personality and a sense of belonging for the kids. A full-length mirror at the end of the hall is functional and created a runway for playtime.

There was enough floor space for the girls to get out their dollhouses and other toys, and still have room for everyone to enjoy whatever they were doing at any time.

The biggest lesson to learn from this makeover is that sometimes you have to think outside of the box – literally! If I had stayed with the square room as it began, it wouldn’t have the wonderful personality and function it has now.

FroM sHow rooM to your rooM

design magic it’s all in the details at amber by stephanie MacDonalD

Aragon’s interior designer, Maria Zoubos, and her team created a perfect aspirational living space in this airy penthouse suite, letting the gorgeous view be the star, bringing nature in with natural touches inside and out.

New HoMe + CoNdo Guide: Did you have a

particular person or family in mind when you were designing this space?

Maria Zoubos: We definitely try to envision a certain person when we are designing the interior of a space. In this case, we were thinking about a sophisticated couple, maybe retired, but with an active travel schedule, frequent visits from grown kids or out-of-town guests, and an active social life.

The space is set up for entertaining, but also possibly working from home, with the third bedroom set up as an office/TV lounge.

64 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 19–Nov. 2, 2019

NHCG: It would be a shame to keep this incredible view all to yourself. What are some of the details that signal this is the perfect home to throw dinner parties?

M.Z.: Well, the table can possibly fit eight people. Also,

there’s ample seating for gatherings, both in the living area and around the kitchen island. The kitchen has wonderful touches like the Kohler sink with all the accessories to make rinsing and hiding used dishes and glasses a breeze, for a much easier next-day cleanup. The dining furniture is by Camerich; it’s so elegant but also so comfortable that you can sit around the table chatting for hours.

NHCG: The master bedroom has a striking marble wall detail that we haven’t seen before.

M.Z.: That is actually a very naturalistic marble print

on the wall. It brings the natural element back into

the space without overpowering or making it seem too busy, next to the bed linens and pillows. We definitely wanted to create a relaxing spa feeling that connects with the ensuite design.

NHCG: The outdoor planting rounds out the very angular lines of the room and of the wrap-around deck. How did you decide what kind of plants to use?

M.Z.: We wanted to visually echo the horizontal

skyline and treeline presented by the view, but we wanted something more tidy and low maintenance in case our residents were away a lot. There’s not a lot to care for. The larger plants in the large pots can be moved inside for a warmer, more tropical feeling in the winter, then moved outside to create a more light and airy feeling inside for the summer.

NHCG: How do you choose artwork that won’t compete with the incredible view outside?

M.Z.: We were looking for something restful and contemporary, so we chose simple, almost graphic pieces with very muted colours. We also deliberately chose works with a horizontal orientation to continue the long line from the tree horizon outside into the home. nexthome.ca  65

ADVICE | 10 MINutEs WItH

Developers use innovation to stanD out from the crowD by stephanie MacDonalD

Cameron McNeill, executive director and partner of MLA Marketing, shares his insight on the Vancouver new-home market.

New Home + Condo Guide: In this buyers’ market, developers and marketers have to be more creative to stand out. What are some of the most inspired new amenities and/or promotions that you have seen lately?

Cameron McNeill: Avocado toast! Besides creative

incentives like these, the best way to be attractive to buyers is to be priced right, have excellent quality of construction and have homes designed to fit the needs of the buyers. Also, flexible deposit structures are very well received.

Developers are adopting Passive House Standards as it represents one of the best opportunities to be sensitive to the environment without significant additional construction costs or costs to the homebuyer. Passive Housing standards can potentially reduce a homeowner’s heating expenses by up to 90 per cent. MLA Canada’s project, Skagen by Eighth Avenue Development Group, will be constructed under Passive House standards; all townhomes offer long-term cost savings, exceptional indoor air quality and durability.

NHCG: CMHC recently downgraded the Metro

Vancouver market from “high” to “moderate” vulnerability, more in line with the rest of the country. How do you think this will affect the supply of new housing in the next couple of years?

NHCG: How do you think the government’s new

First-Time Homebuyers Incentive will affect our market? Do you think the election will have any impact on new and Millennial buyers?

CM: The First-Time Homebuyers incentive has had

little effect on our market today, as buyers still need to navigate through the mortgage stress test, which is making it difficult for buyers to get pre-approved at the prices homes are trading at. It would be great to see some new initiatives introduced this fall that will actually impact buyers.

NHCG: MLA is funding something called “Innovation through 3D Printed Home Communities” in conjunction with World Housing. Can you explain a little about what this is?

CM: As a company, our mission is to innovate the

way the world imagines, creates, consumes and enjoys real estate. We want to help in building better homes, improving livability in our cities, creating better buying experiences and being on the forefront of innovation. We also have a deeply rooted desire to give back. We chose to partner with World Housing because obviously we are in the housing game, so naturally it feels like a fit for the work that we do, but also because 100 per cent of every dollar raised goes directly to building communities. Our goal is to raise $75,000 to build 10 of the world’s first 3D printed homes in Mexico. This pioneering technology is spearheaded as a way to further scale our impact and brings the cost of building costs down while increasing the quality of the homes for families

CM: The market has shown in the past few months

that demand remains strong for housing in our region. After prices adjusted following new provincial taxes, buyers are seeing value in homes currently being offered. Sales for September 2019 were up 46 per cent compared to 2018, and this demand will influence the number of homes coming to market.

Cameron McNeill is the executive director and partner of MLA Marketing.

Cedar Creek

Tranquil by naTure

You’ve watched and waited, and now your time is almost here. Cedar Creek’s second phase is preparing for a grand opening, and it’s a celebration you won’t want to miss.

“Construction is underway, so people are now able to see this community growing and evolving,” says Manuela Mirecki, Ledingham McAllister’s senior vicepresident of marketing and design. “Phase two will offer a diverse selection of floorplans to choose from – meaning there’s going to be something to suit every lifestyle. It’s a wonderful opportunity to invest in a home in a well-established, popular neighbourhood that’s built by a respected builder with a reputation for quality.”

And here’s yet another enticement. For a limited time, you can purchase a Cedar Creek home with an initial deposit of just five per cent — meaning homeownership just got a whole lot easier.

StyLiSH by deSign

Naturally, every Cedar Creek home includes all the meticulous attention to detail you’ve come to expect from this award-winning builder: nine-ft. ceilings, open floorplans, laminate wood-finish flooring throughout main living areas, and matte black pulls and handles to give a sophisticated, contemporary ambiance.

Inspired by the majestic trees found throughout the neighbourhoods, Cedar Creek’s architecture is pure West Coast — natural timber accents, generous overhangs, and warm brick detailing on the lower

“People are discovering that this is a wonderful place to bring up families,” Manuela says. “You’re so close to everything and yet it’s a very quiet, tranquil setting, and a great place to put down roots.”

Rapidly, she lists just a few of the nearby conveniences: Parks, schools, transit including SkyTrain, as well as a selection of eateries sure to keep your taste buds tingling. All this, plus you’re just minutes to the existing amenities at HighGate and all the amenities that will be coming with SouthGate City right across the street.

When it comes to onsite amenities, Cedar Creek has you covered, too: Fitness room, kids’ play area, meeting rooms for when you need to create an impression with your clients, a bike repair shop, and community garden plots. Because sometimes you just feel like staying home and enjoying life.

Presentation centre and display suite open noon to 6 p.m. daily except Fridays at 7166 – 14 Avenue in Burnaby. One-bedroom-and-den homes priced from $489,900: two-bedroom homes from $569,900. For more information register today at liveatcedarcreek.com.
