You’ve got questions?

BILD’s got the answers, said Dave Wilkes, the president and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development (BILD) at the kick-off of the association’s campaign, Building Answers.

The campaign is focused on answering the public’s questions about new-home and condo development via its BuildingAnswers.ca website. In fact, the association has committed to answering individual questions within two business days and said should the same (or substantially the same) question be submitted 10 times, the question will be published on the site.

“It’s natural for residents to have questions and want to understand the changes they are seeing in and around their communities. As the industry that builds the places where people live, work and play, we are committed to facilitating an informed discussion,” said Wilkes. “With 115,000 new people calling the GTA their home every year and the population expected to grow by 40 per cent to 9.7 million by 2041, development and housing construction is highly visible throughout the region.”

You’ll likely catch glimpses of its green and white branding colours, like the ones below, around town, on social media and in this issue. I’ve seen several of the questions so far, and I plan on publishing a few of them right here in this space.

“Now is the time for an open and factual discussion on development in the GTA given the generational challenge of housing supply and affordability,” said Wilkes. “This campaign will allow everyone to participate in the dialogue about what our region will look like.”

CMHC Update

NoN-resideNt coNdo owNership highest in three Canadian housing markets New information released last month by from the Canadian Housing Statistics Program (CHSP) sheds light on the prevalence of non-resident homeownership in three Canadian housing markets in British Columbia, Ontario and Nova Scotia. A nonresident owner is defined as a person who has their primary dwelling outside of Canada.

“Condominium apartments had the highest prevalence of non-resident ownership, particularly in Vancouver and Toronto,” says Aled ab Iorwerth, Deputy Chief Economist, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

“In general, non-resident ownership is more frequent in newer and higher value residential properties. The CHSP data allows us to better understand the role of non-residents as a component of demand in Canadian housing markets, a topic that is of public interest in terms of the source of funds and the investment behaviour associated with such properties.”

StUdy HigHligHtS Non-resident participation in housing markets

Properties that have at least one non-resident owner amounted to 6.2 per cent in British Columbia (Vancouver 7.6 per cent), 3.3 per cent in Ontario (Toronto 3.8 per cent) and 6.2 per cent in Nova Scotia (Halifax 4.3 per cent). The proportion of non-resident participation is highest for condominium apartments.

Condos with at least one non-resident owner was at 10.4 per cent in British Columbia and 6.1 per cent in Ontario, and higher in Vancouver (11.2 per cent) and Toronto.

In Vancouver, properties constructed in 20162017 with at least one non-resident owner is 15.3 per cent, compared with 11.2 per cent for those built between 2011-2015 and less than six per cent for properties constructed between 1961-1990. This figure is higher (19.2 per cent) for condominium apartments built in 2016-2017.

In comparison, the share of Toronto properties constructed in 2016-2017 with at least one nonresident owner is 6.1 per cent, while the share for residential properties of all periods of construction is 3.8 per cent.

12 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

In Nova Scotia, the proportion of properties that have at least one non-resident owner is higher in the rest of the province (7.1 per cent) than in the Halifax CMA (4.3 per cent), suggesting that non-resident ownership is more prevalent among vacation-oriented properties outside of the province’s major urban centre.

Comparison of median assessment value between non-resident and resident owned properties

The median assessment value of condominiums owned by non-residents is higher than those owned by residents in British Columbia (29.1 per cent), Ontario (20.2 per cent), and Nova Scotia (10.8 per cent). In Vancouver, the median assessment value of a condominium owned by a non-resident is $96,000 more than one owned by a resident, the highest differential in the Vancouver CMA. In Toronto, the median assessment value of a condominium owned by a non-resident is $37,000 more than one owned by a resident, the highest differential in the Toronto CMA. In Ontario, the median assessment value of single detached houses owned by non-residents was lower than those owned by residents by $35,000, but the data shows differently in Ontario’s two largest urban centres of Toronto and OttawaGatineau (Ontario part).

Under the CHSP, non-resident homeownership is measured in two ways: By residency ownership and residency participation. Under residency ownership, a property is classified as non-resident owned when the majority of owners are non-residents. Under residency participation, a property is classified as having non-resident participation when at least one owner is non-resident.

These complementary concepts permit a more detailed understanding of nonresident activity. The concept of non-resident participation, in particular, illustrates the upper bounds of non-resident ownership in these provinces, as reported in the most recent Housing Market Insight (HMI) released by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC).

ADVICE

Understanding yoUr condo docs

by JacqUeline Moneta Jd and Jayson schwarz llM

New disclosure requirements in the Condominium Act provide owners with more information than ever, but all of this information can quickly become overwhelming. What are all the documents and what do they tell you? The following is an overview of the rules and regulations governing condo living.

CONDOMINIUM DECLARATION

The declaration is like the constitution of a condo. It provides information regarding each suite’s boundaries and share of common expenses expressed as a percentage of the total budget.

14 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

The declaration also describes any recreational facilities and how they will be used. It can also contain restrictions on the use or occupation of the units and common elements. A review of the declaration will tell you exactly what you are buying.

A declaration can only be changed if over 80 per cent of the owners agree to the change. This makes subsequent changes to the declaration difficult and rare.

BY-LAWS

The by-laws control how condominium corporations are run. They outline the qualifications

of condominium directors, their remuneration (if any), and the quorum necessary for a meeting. The by-laws may also outline when and how the condominium can borrow money.

This is important if there is ever a special assessment levied. As an alternative to a special assessment the condo may be able to borrow funds, if allowed in the by-laws, rather than makeup any shortfalls from the unit owners.

By-laws can be passed, appealed or amended by the board of directors. Before becoming effective, by-laws must be approved by a majority

of the units of the corporation and registered with the land registry office.

considered carefully as they can have a large impact on your dayto-day life.

CONDOMINIUM RULES

STATUS CERTIFICATE

The board of directors can also make, amend or repeal rules. The rules govern the safety, security or welfare of the owners and the property or assets of the corporation. They typically prevent unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the common elements or units.

It’s common for the rules to prevent owners from renting out their units for short periods of time (ie. Airbnb) or restrict visitors’ use of the common elements. It is also increasingly common for the rules to limit the number and/or size of pets allowed in the building.

Rules can vary greatly in each condominium, so even if you are familiar with condo living it’s important to review the rules in each building you buy into. They can impact lifestyle choices, which while not legal issues, should be

Perhaps the most important document you’ll receive is the status certificate. This document gives buyers details of the financial and legal circumstances for the condominium building.

A status certificate will include information regarding increases in common expenses, law suits against the condominium corporation and any upcoming large expenditures for repairs.

A status certificate will also have information about the individual condo unit. It indicates if the current owner is in default of paying common expenses and if any increase in common expenses has been declared by the condominium board.

While sifting through these documents may seem overwhelming, careful review of the rules and regulations

governing your condo could save you a lot of time and unexpected cost down the road. You should also seek the advice of a real estate lawyer and accountant who can point out abnormalities or possible red flags.

Don’t forget the best help you can get is from a real estate lawyer who understands condominium law. Be careful and find someone who is knowledgeable and cares about you and your family. This is an important milestone in your life.

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

OntariO’s update of development and housing plans is the right mOve

dave Wilkes

In hindsight, the signs were there all along: a rapid escalation of land values, the slowing of new development across the Greater Toronto Area, and a rise in community resistance against new development in existing neighbourhoods. This is the legacy of the previous provincial government’s Growth Plan and housing policies in the GTA. Our 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

current challenges around housing supply and affordability are the result.

The new government is looking to make much-needed changes, even as critics raise predictable objections. Never mind that these same critics never supported any development plan nor are likely do to so, and never mind the disheartening prospects confronting those looking for a new home or apartment in the GTA. Nor does it matter to these pundits that the region is growing annually by 115,000 people, all requiring housing, places to

work, schools, and commuting infrastructure.

The fact is, despite the critics’ objections, the changes proposed by the government are quite measured and focus on two areas. The first is a housing supply action plan that outlines how we get more homes for rent and purchase built faster. The government is looking at proposals to remove barriers and speed up development, as it currently takes more than 11 years to complete an average low-rise development and 10 years to complete an average …continued on page 22

high-rise development in the GTA. The government is also looking for proposals on ways to encourage “missing middle housing” –the townhomes and low- and mid-rise apartments that provide gentle density in existing neighbourhoods and can serve as starter homes at a lower price point. Finally, the government is looking for proposals to lower the cost of development by addressing the cost of land and the charges added to new developments. This in turn will positively impact the affordability of new homes.

The second area the government is focusing on is adjusting the Growth Plan, the policy that guides where and how development occurs across the GTA and the Greater Golden Horseshoe. One matter under consideration is adjusting density targets—the number of 22 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

people and jobs required per hectare—a direct determinant of built form and housing mix. The current government has rightly pointed out that the one-sizefits-all approach doesn’t work, and that treating development in communities like Brantford, Hamilton and Waterloo in a manner similar to Toronto makes no sense. Other proposed changes include giving municipalities some flexibility to develop housing on lands that have previously been designated as employment areas and on small pieces of land that are currently outside their settlement area boundaries, and continuing to encourage density around major transit station areas.

If adopted, these changes will give more flexibility to municipalities and will encourage the right types of homes to be built and the right density based on the infrastructure available.

These proposed changes are all about one thing: providing homes for hardworking individuals and families across a growing region. Our current generational housing challenge has been 14 years in the making and through these actions the provincial government is making good on its promise of working to increase housing supply in our region while continuing to protect the environment.

Is the New StreSS teSt CausIng you stress?

Ben Myers

In late March I attended the Teranet Market Insights Forum, and listened to a presentation

by Stéfane Marion, the Chief Economist and Strategist for National Bank. Marion started out with his thoughts on the Canadian economy and indicated that there is a 50 per cent chance of a recession in Canada, and a 54 per cent chance that the Bank of Canada cuts interest rates this year.

The first part of that statement might scare you, but the second part might make you happy if you’re in the market for a new home. Interest rates have been a big topic in Canada over the last two years, with the new mortgage stress test going into effect last year. Canadians seeking a mortgage from federally regulated lenders are required to qualify at a rate that is two percentage points higher than their actual contracted rate. This has had two major consequences, lower transaction activity overall, and more mortgage activity outside the federally regulated lenders.

According to Teranet, 75.3 per cent of all residential mortgages in Ontario were issued by Canada’s ‘Big-5’ banks in 2017, but that market share dropped to 72.6 per cent in 2018. Credit unions, private lenders and trust 24 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

companies all increased their piece of the pie. The Teranet data also showed that Generation Z (people born since 1997), the newest entrants into the housing market have over 20 per cent of their mortgages with private lenders. But, keep in mind that this is a large percentage of a small number of mortgages.

These mortgages come with much higher interest rates, which puts these young homeowners at financial risk. This is one of the unintended consequences of the stress test.

Marion questioned the reasoning behind the stress test, saying that most Canadians must qualify at an interest rate of 5.5

per cent, yet the Bank of Canada recently said they won’t raise the overnight rate above 3 per cent in the next couple years. Marion says this makes no sense given the 2-per-cent stress test: Why would you have to qualify at a rate that won’t exist?

Marion did point out that despite his bank’s thoughts on a potential recession, that there are some relatively positive national economic data. Business profits in Canada are the highest in over 10 years, domestic employment for prime age workers is very strong and well above equivalent U.S. levels, population growth is the highest in the OECD, and that a …continued on page 26

welcoming immigration policy coupled with our ability to adjust to technological changes, has positioned the Canadian economy to adjust well to global economic shifts.

Despite these positive economic findings, many Ontarians are still worried about what they 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

can afford, and the stress test’s impact on their monthly mortgage carrying costs. Another stressworthy piece of data was shared

by Marion in his presentation, the increased rental demand as a result of the stress test delaying home purchases has brought about sharp increases in rental rates. In fact, the rate of rent growth nationally in 2018 was 4.3 per cent according to CMHC, the highest since 1991. Marion noted that the rate of rent growth in 2019 as published by Statistics Canada is 10 standard deviations higher than normal. According to Rentals.ca, the average asking rent of a new rental unit in Canada was $1,888 in February, up $100 from December.

In conclusion, there are a lot of conflicting views on the state of the Canadian economy, the growth prospects for the housing market, and the government’s next intervention in the housing market.

Marion noted that there have been

over 40 interventions since 2006, and now they’re added a new first-time homebuyers incentive to help those Gen Zs and Gen Xs buy their first home, and who knows what impact that will have on the market.

My advice is always this: Do a lot of research, hire an experienced team that includes a realtor and a mortgage broker, and always buy what you can afford. Good luck.

THINK SPRING IN A BRAND NEW CONDO BARBARA LAwLoR Ah, there is something wonderful about the change of seasons from winter to spring! This is the time of year when our thoughts turn to nature’s vibrant colours re-entering our worlds. It is also a wonderful time of year for condo-owners to enjoy their building’s landscaping as it buds and flourishes in the warmth of springtime sun. Nowadays, condominium developers devote a lot of time and effort into 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

creating natural settings for their urban buildings. From courtyards to rooftop gardens, the effect is stunning. In addition to enhancing the exterior attractiveness of condos, these natural settings can help improve air quality in general.

Of course, there are also glorious options available today for balcony gardening. Even the most compact of condo suites usually features an outdoor space where green-thumbs can place some furniture and planted containers to brighten up your surroundings.

I have seen everything from wooden garden benches with built-in planters to ceramic and other containers in a multitude of colours, shapes and sizes. Just as

you can create your own interior décor to match your personality and aesthetic preferences, so, too can you make your outdoor oasis an extension of your home. Go rustic with wood or modern with steel; charming with terra cotta or sophisticated with acrylic.

Here is another thought – a balcony herb garden! How wonderful it would be to step outside and harvest fresh ingredients for your meal. At the end of the season, you can dry or freeze many of the herbs you have left and enjoy them all winter long. Think lamb with fresh rosemary, pasta with oregano and parsley, or pesto made with your own basil! You might …continued on page 50

Lifetime shares its vision for panda markham, a mixed-use development near markham Centre A community meeting was held last month at the Milliken Mills Community Centre in Markham for Lifetime Developments’ proposed development at Warden and Highway 7, close to Downtown Markham. The development, branded Panda Markham, is a visionary 5.8-acre mixed-use plan that will encompass five luxury residential towers, adding 2,206 residential units to this growing, indemand location. Representatives from Lifetime Developments and the Panda Markham team presented their vision and responded to questions regarding the development proposal. Isa Lee, Councillor Ward 8, City of 30 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

Markham, was also in attendance to hear the community’s input on the proposal.

According to Lifetime’s principal Brian Brown, “Our proposal will bring new attention to one of the most desirable locations in the Greater Toronto Area.

With stunning architecture by world-respected Hariri Pontarini Architects, Panda Markham will be a new landmark adding muchneeded new residences to one of Canada’s fastest-growing and most thriving cities.”

The five proposed towers will range from 28 to 48 storeys in height, with terraces of varying lengths and widths adding

visual interest by which to scale the building and create a unique silhouette that changes dramatically depending on where the community is viewed from.

Panda Markham’s suite mix will range from one-bedroom to threebedroom designs to accommodate the spectrum of purchasers, including families. Inviting indoor and outdoor amenities will expand their living space. Green space between and around the towers, as well as the site’s location overlooking the Rouge River, will ensure that nature is always part of everyday life.

According to David Pontarini, founding partner, Hariri Pontarini

Architects, “The Panda Markham team’s shared vision is to offer something outstanding in a location that deserves special treatment. It’s exciting to be working on a community with this enormous scope. The residential towers will set a new standard for contemporary design in the area.”

Panda Markham’s residents will also benefit from easy access to the recently completed York Region Transit/Viva infrastructure improvements, the new Metrolinx Bus Rapid Transit Line along Hwy. 7, plus the expanding highway system including Hwys.

7, 404 and 407. A dedicated bus line runs nearby on Cedarland Drive. According to walkscore. com, Panda Markham’s site is a 12-minute walk to the heart of downtown Markham. In addition, the Unionville GO Station is just 3.2 km away.

“We intend to make the most of the City’s existing infrastructure,”

says Kate Cooper, a partner in community planning firm Bousfields Inc. “The property is transit connected and pedestrian friendly, and will bridge Downtown Markham with local businesses.

With retail at grade, the five towers will liven up the streetscape and provide tremendous convenience for residents.”

“Markham has so much going for it,” Brown adds. “Its growth has been phenomenal. The City still needs to expand on its unique identity, and we have challenged our architects to design a development with a distinguishing factor, world class character and a vibrant, sustainable and flourishing community. We are hoping that we can do something very special for Markham that people will talk about when discussing this great City.”

Panda Markham is Lifetime Developments’ first development proposal in the City of Markham.

From its beginnings over 40 years ago, Toronto-based Lifetime Developments has grown into one of the leaders

in the high-rise segment of North America’s fourth-largest city. Lifetime Developments’ impressive portfolio includes Bond Condominiums in Toronto’s Entertainment District, the sixacre multi-phase Liberty Market Complex, the renowned Four Seasons Private Residences – Toronto and Bisha Hotel and Residences, which sets a new standard for boutique hotels and condominiums in the downtown core. Lifetime is currently constructing Whitehaus Condominiums at Yonge and Eglinton, Panda Condos at Yonge and Dundas Square, and XO Condos, launching soon, is set to rejuvenate the Liberty Village and Parkdale communities at King and Dufferin Streets.

UPSCaLe LiVing iN sCaRBOROUGH is as easy as riding a bike Remember the first time you rode a bike?

Definitely scary, those first few rides it must have seemed like the bike itself was in control. Often veering from side to side, travelling faster than you’d have liked, you probably earned a few bumps and bruises along the way; maybe even shed a few tears.

But you persevered.

You were passionate that the bike would ultimately be your way out of the neighbourhood.

It would lead you on adventures.

Learning to ride would symbolize your bravery, your independence, your achievements.

32 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

In many ways, learning to ride a bike is like buying a condo. Once you get the hang of the market, you will succeed and be forever grateful.

That’s the perspective of the team at Lash Group, who have launched the third phase of a master-planned community in the heart of Scarborough called Tricycle Condos.

Following the success of ME and ME2 — the first two condo launches in this new residential community at Markham Road and Ellesmere — the new 14-storey condo from Turner Fleischer Architects, featuring interior

designs by the award-winning firm of Tanner Hill Associates, boasts units that are larger than those of the previous phases.

With suites that stretch to an expansive 1,167 square feet and layouts with two, and even three bedroom and den designs, there are still a mix of smaller, more efficient units, starting at 537 square feet.

The condominium features well appointed, affordable options for today’s first-time buyer and young families, “but we wanted to offer something more with the design of Tricycle,” says Lash Group President, Larry Blankenstein.

“While still managing to ensure affordability, we encouraged our design team to create an upscale, boutique-hotel inspired feel that would appeal to young families, as well as first-time buyers, and empty nesters, both in its contemporary design and the amenities being offered.”

Among the most anticipated features of Tricycle, space on the seventh floor has been devoted to creating a private dining area.

The lobbies have been designed to respond to residents’ (and their guest’s) 24-hour lifestyles, unique spaces have been apportioned to cater to teenage residents looking for a space outside their suite for homework or gaming, while the young and young-atheart will enjoy the ground-floor Wifi lounge. A coffee bar and yoga studio, as well as the fitness facilities, party room with catering kitchen, is included in the interior amenity space, while outside is a beautiful outdoor terrace.

“Features and finishes have been a key consideration in the design,” says Blankenstein. “We wanted to offer areas that would be both

Beyond ME Living, everything, as Lash Sales and Marketing Manager Heather Hamilton notes, “is within reach”, pointing to the nearby shops and restaurants, Scarborough Town Centre, U of T, Centennial College and the thriving downtown core.

“Its no accident we called this building Tricycle,” says Blankenstein. “Like learning to ride a bike, once you learn about this condo, you will never forget it.” desirable to our residents and complementary to their interests and lifestyles. Of course, while we were obsessive about the amenity program, in this location, the area might be the most desirable amenity of them all.”

DAVPART INC. REDEVELOPS TORONTO LANDMARK AS THE UNITED BUILDING The United Building in Toronto, announced today by Davpart Inc., is North America’s tallest architectural heritage retention development.

Located on the northeast corner of University Avenue and Dundas Street West, the United Building will evolve to a 55-storey high rise which will highlight the restored heritage structure of the storied Maclean Publishing Company/Maclean-Hunter Building at 481 University Avenue, with commercial and retail space from the ground floor to the 10th floor and new residences above the historic structure.

“From 1910 to the 1980s, 481 was the location of Maclean Publishing and later Maclean-Hunter with several buildings added to become one of the most recognized structures on University Avenue,” said Davpart Inc. President and CEO David Hofstedter.

During the 20th century, Maclean-Hunter grew to become the largest Canadian publisher of trade journals and the home to flagship Maclean’s magazine, Chatelaine and the Financial Post newspaper.

The United includes 224,245 sq. ft. of commercial office space and 39,320 sq. ft. of retail space up to the 10th floor where the 759 residences units begin. The front door to 481 University leads to the offices and retail; the residential condominium entrance will be at 88 Centre Street, offering direct access to the TTC’s St. Patrick Station from inside the building.

Added Hofstedter, “481 has a grand and iconic presence on University Avenue from Dundas to Centre Streets and is designated under the Ontario Heritage Act and listed on the City of Toronto Inventory of Heritage Properties.”

The United will include studio to one bedroom, two bedroom and three-bedroom designs, some with a den, flex or media room; some will have two-storey plans.

Suites sizes start at 300 sq. ft. to 1,400 sq. ft.

“The existing structure is an example of a commercial building from the interwar era and is the result of many bold design influences, from Beaux-Arts to Modern Classical. While restoring the exterior, we will complete the interior to the highest standard of contemporary office and retail available today, so their current uses can continue,” said Hofstedter.

The United design team includes B+H Architects as the prime consultant and design architects; heritage consultants ERA Architects Inc. and Tomas Pearce Interior Design Consulting Inc. Baker Real Estate will manage sales activities.

“The United is a realization of our vision,” said Hofstedter. “It’s a massive undertaking which started within the context of preserving and restoring the existing building.

36 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

The complexities are enormous, and it has taken lots of teamwork and patience to make it happen.”

Mark Berest, B+H Architects Principal said, “The design of this building draws from the energy of its location at the intersection of the city’s primary cultural, institutional and retail anchors as well as its preserved architectural cultural heritage. It is a tribute to Toronto’s cosmopolitan character and considers a new convergence of live, work, and play.”

ERA Architects Principal Graeme Stewart said, “Our heritage work includes retaining, restoring and enhancing two large and significant buildings. The first is a noteworthy 1930s collegiate Gothic building

What’s better than one bedroom? two! especially when it comes With a vieW Scout’s transformation of West St. Clair West continues apace, with the release of a new slate of terrace units. These larger, spacious two-bedroom suites come with significant outdoor space up to 400 square feet.

“One of the best attributes of a mid-rise building is the opportunity for significant terracing as the building steps down to better reflect its residential surrounding,” said Adidharma Purnomo, Vice President of Development at Graywood. “Because of the way Toronto grades toward Lake Ontario, an expansive terrace on

the south side of St. Clair will have uninterrupted views all the way down to the water. It’s unique for the neighbourhood and we’re excited to be releasing these units.”

Scout Condos launched in the fall of 2018 following the success of its sister project, Scoop. At the time, Scoop was the first project to launch along this particular stretch of St. Clair. Graywood was attracted to the untapped potential of a neighbourhood that offered direct access to transit and a distinct community feel, and these instincts were proven correct with Scoop selling out. The project is

now well under construction as focus shifts to the new release of Scout’s larger terrace suites.

“Scout really is its own, unique building. We’re delivering more residences and working with a new set of materials. We’ve evolved the form to reflect the ambitions of the community. This will be a new landmark in the area,” says Purnomo. “And since we’re tapping into an under-developed community, we’re able to offer pricing that is more reflective of a suburban project, even though we have a distinctly urban 416 address.

The Spring Terrace Suites are designed to appeal to young families, downsizers or anyone looking for spacious, single-level living with the convenience that comes with a condo. designed to appeal to young families, downsizers or anyone looking for spacious, single-level living with the convenience that comes with a condo. It’s yet another signal that this stretch of St. Clair is in the midst of a significant transformation.

The launch of Scout coincided with Metrolinx revealing plans to build a new GO Station and Smart Track Station at the corner of St. Clair and Old Weston Road, while other developers have begun targeting the area for their own projects. Toronto Public Library has begun its full-scale renovation of the local branch, adding to the transformations taking place.

“There’s certainly a lot more interest in what’s happening on 38 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

West St. Clair West than there was two years ago,” says Purnomo, who currently sits on the local BIA. “There’s a feeling of optimism. This is a community that welcomes smart, contextual development.

That is exactly what we’re aiming to deliver.”

Scout is located on St. Clair West, east of Old Weston Road. The new Spring Terrace Suites range from the $600s to $1million.

The building rises 11 storeys and consists of 268 units, offering one (plus den) and two (plus den) bedroom layouts ranging from 410 sq. ft. to 1,260 sq. ft. The sales centre is located at 1791 St. Clair Avenue West. To register, please visit scoutcondos.com.

PROPERTY PROFILE

Capital Developments introduces AzurA At Yonge anD FinCh The Yonge and Finch neighbourhood has seen incredible change over the years. What was once a sleepy suburban sprawl has blossomed into Ontario’s seconddensest growth neighbourhood.

The bustling TTC Station services nearly 100,000 commuters per day, and the multi-block boom of commercial and residential buildings in the area welcome an eclectic mix of professionals and residents.

Azura, by Capital Developments, is a 32-storey residential building coming to Yonge and Finch. It is a stunning feat of architecture with a 44 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

unique, signature design and it will forever change the face of this area.

Ideally located off Yonge Street, on Holmes Avenue, just steps south of Finch Station, the curved, stepped exterior designed by architects IBI Group gives Azura a serene, cloud-inspired look that is sure to make its mark on the impressive skyline. The sophisticated standard of living found within Azura really makes it a most enviable address.

“IBI Group raised the bar with their exquisite exterior design”, explains Capital Developments

co-founder and managing partner, Todd Cowan. “So we knew that the rest of the Azura design had to follow suit and promise an unparalleled lifestyle experience for our residents. The resulting design has exceeded expectation and definitely put luxury within reach for anyone who wants to live in this iconic neighbourhood.”

That measure of luxury is evident in each of Azura’s spacious 358 suites.

With expansive ceiling heights, Azura’s living spaces feel light and airy. Balconies, terraces and patios that are large enough to allow for

unmatched views of the stunning Toronto skyline further extend the living spaces.

Remarkably, approximately 75 per cent of the views are south facing, a luxury that was built into Azura’s design from the beginning.

“We wanted to have sun and as much natural light as possible in our suites,” says Cowan.

Single-plank engineered flooring and five-inch baseboards lay a rich, solid foundation, while the chic swing interior doors provide a contemporary flair. All suites contain individually controlled, on-demand heating and air conditioning, with double glazed, low emission glass windows, insulated to retain internal warmth and lower energy usage.

Gourmet kitchens include quartz counter tops, ceramic backsplashes with integrated appliances. A porcelain vanity sink with chrome faucets complements the bathroom IBI designed cabinetry, while the pressurebalancing tub and shower controls assure the finest in comfort.

“All told, the design and feature package in our Azura suites is refined and distinctive,” adds Cowan. “We wanted to ensure that these unique touches were

available to residents in all of the various unit sizes.” Azura’s suites come in one, two and three-bedroom options with a generous size range of 430 to 1170 square feet.

While the units feel big, airy and private, the building itself has an intimate, boutique feel to it, affording residents a sense of community. A yoga studio, gym and golf simulator, the children’s playroom and library as well as the well-appointed party room complete the offering. The playroom has glass walls – with the party room on one side and the gym on the other. Parents will be able to watch their kids play while they visit with friends, work out or simply relax in Azura’s calming communal spaces.

Azura’s unrivalled community space continues out on the terrace, which is just steps from the chef’s kitchen in the party room. This enormous outdoor lounge space is the perfect place for Azura’s residents to entertain, as they look out over North York Centre’s burgeoning nightlife.

There’s a sense of boundless room and possibility in Azura’s amenity spaces and lobby, aided by an uncommon double height ceiling.

A new 12,000-square-foot park will sit next to the building and provide a peaceful and green oasis between Azura and the bustle of the neighbourhood. Azura will be a landmark in North York Centre, and an ideal choice for the professional set, the active young family, and the empty nesters in the area, who have seen the value of their homes rise substantially over the last decade.

LAUNDRY

room goals!

Designer Lisa Canning creates an inspiring and efficient laundry space.

I recently worked with Alison, a busy firefighter and mom who was in need of a major laundry room overhaul. At work, people depend on Alison to help save lives, and at home, her family depends on her for countless things.

So, creating systems and spaces that allow her to efficiently get the job done was my main goal and of course, it had to look good, too.

ESSENTIAL APPLIANCES

STORAGE

No laundry room is complete without a washer and dryer. For this space I chose Maytag’s (maytag.ca) Front Load Extra Power Washer and Dryer pair that have an Extra Power feature. For the washer, the Extra Power button fights stains that dissolve best in hot water and in cold – all in one load. For the dryer, the Extra Power button helps get thick fabrics drier the first time by adding extra time to the cycle.

Alison’s home is on the smaller size, so every single square inch of this space needed to count. I went with taller than normal uppers from Ikea (ikea.ca) in a high gloss navy blue for a look that is both modern and functional, allowing Alison to store detergent, cleaning supplies, towels and other necessities within arms’ reach. We also incorporated storage on the other side of the room with multiple drawers and decorative shelving. This space doubles as a desk for Alison’s young daughter when not needed for folding.

46 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

LAUNDRY ROOM ESSENTIALS

1 FOLDING SPACE

Whether you are a Netflix-and-fold kind of person or not, I think a dependable laundry space needs to have ample counter space. Here I used butcher block counters to provide a warm textural contrast against the blue cabinetry and marble wallpapered walls that I found at Anewall (anewall.com). Installing a counter over a front-load washer and dryer is always a must for me as it provides a durable surface and creates a more built-in look to your appliances.

3

HANG IT

I think one of the most overlooked functions of a laundry room is space for hanging clothing that needs to air dry. Whether you use a folding wire contraption that allows clothing to lay flat, a rope that allows you to hang clothing, or hooks like I did right here, you definitely need to plan for this element so the behaviour of air drying clothing actually happens.Â

4

MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL

I am a big believer that when a space is beautiful, we are happy to be there, and this makes us super productive. So, we utilized all kinds of strategies to make this space just gorgeous. We wrapped a marble wallpaper along all the walls, we added gorgeous crown moulding, we added teal accents that we found at HomeSense (homesense.ca) and just had so much fun with art, beautiful towels, and greenery.

Modern townhome designs offer affordable options that don’t skimp on style

peter CoMyns

Over the past 10 years, there has been a mandate for municipalities to increase density, not only in major transit corridors, but throughout suburban communities around the GTA, too. This not only helps take advantage of existing infrastructure, but also helps to expand communities typically offering traditional townhomes and singles.

Two product types have evolved out of this mandate – the backto-back townhome, also referred to as “Village Homes”, and stacked homes, often called “Urban Towns”.

While this satisfies new planning initiatives, it also brings

more affordable housing types into the marketplace.

Back-to-back towns feature two blocks of townhomes that back onto each other with a common wall along the rear. They are usually two or three storeys by design. Two-storey designs have a traditional single-car garage and an entry-level main floor.

Typically in the three-storey designs, the second floor becomes the main living area with a kitchen, dining and family room, and access to a front balcony outdoor amenity space. Designs usually offer a choice of two- and three-bedroom plans. Along with a full basement, this gives the homeowner a lot of living space, with a lower price than a traditional townhome with a backyard.

The stacked units are also a back-to-back configuration. This

Jordan KideCKel style of home offers one- or twostorey units stacked on top of each other. They are typically built in blocks of five to eight units.

There are many floorplan options within these units and some offer a private rooftop terrace.

Sometimes these communities come with surface parking, but typically offer underground parking. This style of community has been very well received by first-time homebuyers as well as buyers wanting to downsize. A big plus is you have your own front door with direct access to outside, avoiding a common hallway.

A very successful example of this style community, called “Uptowns” in Brampton, offers a combination of one, two- and three-bedroom designs along with private roof-top terraces.

These two examples show how architects, builders and developers are being very creative is designing homes for the ever-changing needs of a growing population.

even want a tomato plant or two.

Many varieties thrive in containers.

For those who grow herbs and vegetables, “eating close to home” takes on a whole new meaning.

Remember that balcony gardening brings with it the necessity for a little research into what will grow well in specific sun/shade and wind conditions.

Garden centre experts can help with this, as can other gardeners.

Ask about what kinds of plants will thrive in your specific conditions.

For example, what direction does your suite face, and what floor are you on. Ask about colourful annuals, hardy perennials, richly textured succulents and even some plants that can add visual interest during the winter, such as ornamental grasses. Fountains, living walls – the possibilities are diverse and exciting.

Then think outside the planter box. Condo-owners are incorporating natural materials such as rocks on their balconies to bring more of the outdoors

“up”. Keep groupings in mind, too.

You may want to highlight one statement plant in a container, or perhaps group three or more and combine hardy and delicate flowers for an interesting effect.

Consider foliage as well. Use highquality potting soil, and remember that during the summer months, containers need frequent watering.

If you love the outdoors, you will love living in a condominium. Give your balcony garden some careful thought and make the most of it!

OH! TOwns priced frOm upper $400s With two- and three-bedroom townhomes priced from the upper$400s, everyday GTA buyers can finally afford to own by the water, as Graywood Developments and Falconcrest Homes launch OH! Towns in South Oshawa. With the challenges of housing affordability and mortgage stress tests putting homeownership out of range for a major segment of purchasers— especially first-time homeowners and young families—this new collection of 56 townhomes provides much- needed relief, while still offering the opportunity to live close to transit and a host of local amenities.

“Graywood and our partners at Falconcrest have a combined 70 years of experience between us.

We’re bringing that experience to South Oshawa because we believe it’s brimming with potential,” said Stephen Price, President and CEO of Graywood Developments.

“When you take into account the proximity to transit and Lake Ontario, as well as the quality product we’re offering, you can make the case that OH! Towns offers the best value anywhere in the GTA.” South Oshawa is minutes from the GO Transit and Hwy. 401, making a city commute reasonable, while creating affordability for spacious, two- and three-bedroom townhomes. At 30 minutes to the DVP, the drive from Oshawa is shorter than the drive from Milton and comparable with commuting from Vaughan, but at significantly lower prices. A short trip to the GO Station means downtown Toronto is only 45 minutes away by transit.

52 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

At the same time, this prime South Oshawa location offers great value with a host of local amenities that will have you second-guessing your trips into the city. The Great Lakes Waterfront Trail is only a five-minute walk from your doorstep and the beach is 10-minutes away, while the new Lakeside Park and Splash Pad and South Oshawa Community Centre are also within walking distance.

The area is perfect for residents of every age and stage, with a great variety of schools – public, private, elementary, secondary and postsecondary – from which to choose.

“Homebuying has always been about location, but the surge in prices over the last half decade means purchasers have been forced out of certain markets,” says James Di Luca, President at Falconcrest Homes. “With OH! Towns we’re

seeing affordability coming back to new-construction in the GTA. This is a great, infill community with new and established amenities that’s perfect for young-families and downsizers alike.”

Ranging from 1,620 sq.ft. to 1,905 sq. ft., OH! Towns offers two- and three-bedroom layouts, with spacious living and dining rooms, a grand main bedroom ensuite and balconies off of the kitchens and living rooms.

Purchasers will also have the the option to selecting from a standard finishing package or an upgraded package depending on their budget.

The presentation centre is located at 895 Phillip Murray Avenue and will be opening later this spring. Interested purchasers are encouraged to register at ohtowns.com to learn more.

Flex Houz: MarsHall HoMes’ solution to the Gta houSinG criSiS

by Kaitlin Secord The GTA finds itself in an affordable housing crisis that threatens young families’ ability to live the “Canadian Dream”.

With tricky mortgage rules, high prices and low availability, it has become increasingly more difficult to own a home.

Marshall Homes has come up with a solution for these families with a new take on the “family” home called the Flex Houz. This full-size family dwelling offers the ability for multi-generational families to live within the comfort of their neighbourhoods with the bonus of both practical and financial benefits.

Whether it be aging parents needing care or Millennial-aged children requiring financial assistance, the Flex Houz provides a way to accommodate all.

“You think about people living with disabilities, older people and people trying to afford housing and how it is that we are going to get more of these people into less space,” said Craig Marshall, founder and owner of Marshall Homes. “With the ability to be so

60 New Home + Condo Guide | Apr. 13–27, 2019

flexible with how it is the tenants of the house are living, this is quite an innovative opportunity,” he said. “There’s the ability to start as a regular home and convert it as needs change which gives families more benefits for their money.”

The Flex Houz presents itself with the expected exterior beauty of a Marshall home while the interior includes a single-family dwelling with a private selfcontained unit on the main floor.

This accessible individual unit allows homeowners to utilize the spacious area for parents, children or visitors. Each of the units has

the feature of typical home, and an interior door separates two front doors, living areas, kitchens, garages and laundry rooms. Both are independently customizable, as is the overall floorplan.

The Flex Houz design gives families the opportunity to build equity and acts as a middle ground — allowing parents of Millennial children to assist with a mortgage while earning equity (as the house appreciates) and remaining close to loved ones — Marshall sees this system as a win-win.

“This is a way for families to grow together and stay together.

Whether it be in-laws/parents needing a home for the winter, or a child needing a space of their own — the Flex Houz is an option that can be customized to suit families as they grow,” said Marshall.

Sales of the Flex Houz began last fall, with a base price of $1.6 million. With homes available in West Pickering, the location ideal for family life.
