The rising prices of single-family homes in Toronto means for many people, the dream of owning a house remains just that — a dream. While that sounds discouraging, it’s really not if you consider other options. While many condo units remain small, some developers have decided to offer up affordable suites large enough to accommodate a family. These projects have added a limited number of three-bedroom and
three-bedroom-plus-den options in master-planned communities at price points below that of single-family homes. Many are located not far from the city’s core in areas rich in local amenities like schools, libraries, parks and public transit. If giving up a backyard and shovelling snow is okay with you, you may want to consider a familyfriendly condo the next time you go house hunting.

Innovation doesn’t happen overnight By Bryan Tuckey THE WAY HOMES and communities
are built today has evolved significantly over the years, particularly when it comes to energy efficiency and environmental preservation. Behind every new Green feature created, there are years of research and development. Here in the GTA, we are fortunate to have small business incubators that allow science and technology concepts to grow into real-life products and services. One is Tower Labs in Toronto – a nonprofit organization founded by highrise builder Tridel and the MaRS Discovery District. It was created to help accelerate the adoption of Green building products and services in new homes. It has also helped
to advance innovative start-up companies targeting customers in the real estate industry. Their work has led to some truly innovative projects. For example, Dynamic Glass allows builders to create windows powered by a sophisticated intelligence engine that responds intuitively to outside conditions by adjusting the tint. Predictive weather feeds and real-time sensors anticipate and respond to cloud cover or excessive sunlight for maximum comfort. Homeowners can also control their tint levels by downloading an app for their mobile device. Another innovative Tower Labs project is GaiaSoil, which introduces a new lightweight soil
solution for Green roofs. It is made out of modified recycled material like Styrofoam cups, composted organic matter and clay. GaiaSoil is significantly lighter than traditional soil and is naturally modified in order to hold water, minerals and nutrients, making these available for plant growth. The technology is currently put into practice in Tridel’s Aqualina development on Toronto’s waterfront. NetZED is another innovative concept found in the Aqualina building. The concept behind NetZED is to create a home that produces as much energy as it consumes. During the day, hot water and electricity are harnessed by two different types of solar panels on top of the home. Any unused energy is transferred to the rest of the building. In return, the building supplies power to the home during the night when the solar panels are not in use. After years of testing, this type of technology makes its way to new developments. Royalpark Homes recently announced that it will offer residential battery storage in its new home builds, thanks to a new partnership with Panasonic. This newly developed system can capture solar energy and store electricity for later use. That means homeowners can store energy during low rate offpeak hours, for use during high rate peak-usage hours. We’ve come a long way when it comes to water and energy conservation. With so many new and innovative technologies currently in the testing phase, we are on our way to building better, greener communities for generations to come.

5 truths about Toronto’s condo market By Andrew la Fleur
1. It’s bigger and hotter than ever before. The media is so obsessed with the skyrocketing prices and bidding wars taking place across the GTA in the low-rise housing market that people are missing the fact that the condo market is booming once again after a relatively slow last couple of years. And while everyone loves to talk about the pre-construction condo market, the truth is that the resale market, both for rentals and for sales, is the “real” condo market. The numbers in the preconstruction market can go up or down, but this doesn’t really tell you what’s happening on the ground, in “the street” with the actual existing supply of condos in the marketplace. So if you want to know what’s really going on in the condo market, do what I do every month: look at the resale market statistics. But first… 2. Condo sales figures are only half the story. The resale condo market is made up of sales AND rentals. For whatever reason, the media chooses to focus its reporting only on sales, and rarely talks about rentals, and NEVER talks about them together. The reality is that when you look at sales and rentals together, you get a much more accurate picture of what is happening in the condo market and the direction the market is heading. The narrative in the media over the last three to four years has been that the condo market is slow, the condo

market is a buyers’ market, the condo market has fallen off what it once was in the peak of the market from 20072010. The underlying, sometimes spoken, sometimes not bias of most mainstream media reporting is that the condo market is due for a crash. And it’s true that if you just look at sales of condos in the resale market, you would draw the conclusion that the market is pretty much flat over the last few years overall. However, when you add in the story that is happening in the rental market, you quickly can see that the market is bigger and hotter than ever before. Let’s take a look at some numbers... 3. The resale condo market has grown by 47 per cent in the last three years. If you only read the headlines in the newspaper, you might have missed something pretty incredible about the
Toronto condo market: it’s grown by 47 per cent in the last three years. That’s a very high number! In the second quarter of 2012, there were 11,206 condos sold or leased out. In the second quarter of 2015, that number rose to 16,477. No other quarter in history has ever come close to this number. People are moving into condos in all-time high numbers. This is not a trend that will end any time soon. 4. Sales have grown by 19 per cent in the last three years. Breaking out just the sales figures and not the rentals, sales are up 19 per cent from Q2 2012 to Q2 2015. More real people are buying and moving into condos than ever before. In fact, 2015 will likely break the all-time record year of 2007 for condo sales. 5. Rentals have grown by 85 per cent in the last three years. The biggest part of the growth in the condo market has been in rentals. The number of condos rented out on the MLS system has nearly doubled in just the last three years; 8,821 condos were rented out in Q2 2015 compared to 4,771 condos in Q2 2012. When you add up the growth in sales and rentals, the condo market has seen a huge expansion in the last few years.

Advice | MORTGAGE ADVICE
Interest rates likely to remain low for a while By Alyssa Richard
THE BANK OF CANADA (BoC) made its
latest interest rate announcement on Oct. 21, and the key interest rate – the overnight lending rate – will stay where it is for now. The BoC has been in the news in the last few weeks, reiterating its focus is on inflation, and until the inflation rate moves too far from the two-per-cent target, there’s little chance of an increase in interest rates. The overnight rate has been at 0.50 per cent since July. July was the second rate cut in 2015, and the results have led to worry that the low interest rate environment is hurting Canadians more than it’s helping. Specifically, house prices have run up in Vancouver and Toronto, and household debt is at an all-time high. BoC governor, Stephen Poloz hasn’t been afraid to give people his opinion on these matters. “It is not the role of
monetary policy to protect individuals from making bad choices,” he said in a speech in Washington earlier in October. In other words, it’s the bank’s job to keep inflation to target, and if people use the low rate incentive to borrow money they shouldn’t, that’s not something that can be helped. If you’re one of the people who has borrowed money you shouldn’t have, you got another break with this latest rate announcement. The BoC rate is now locked at 0.50 per cent until at least December, and the Bank suggests it could be staying there for a long time. “Global economic growth has been a little weaker than expected this year,” BoC says, but, “the Canadian economy can be expected to return to full capacity, and inflation sustainably to target, around mid-2017.” This means it’s business as usual if you have a variable rate

mortgage. The number to keep an eye on in the coming months is fixed mortgage rates. The spread between fixed and variable rates has been closing recently, making fixed rates a more appealing choice. Currently, the premium for a fiveyear fixed mortgage over a five-year variable mortgage is only about a half a percentage point. If fixed rates continue their slide lower, and variable rates hold steady, we could get to a point where fixed rates become the better option – even though variable rates have been the less expensive choice throughout most of history. The next Bank of Canada rate announcement will be on Dec. 2.

Advice | MONEY MATTERS
Good reasons why you should not co-sign By Gail Vaz-Oxlade
PEOPLE HAVE GOOD HEARTS. And people often feel they
should do something to help friends and family when the going gets tough. Hey, I’m all for offering help when it’s needed. But you should consider any financial help you offer as a gift, since loans often cause huge problems when it comes repayment time. Here’s a letter I received recently: Gail, I need some help. I don’t know what to do. My sister-in-law and brother-in-law are constantly in a mess financially. They have young kids, and both my husband and I love those children. We don’t want to see them
lose their home. But I also am very afraid of how our help could hurt us. My sister-in-law has asked us to co-sign a consolidation loan to help them out of the mess they have made. She’s a rampant shopper. He can’t manage to make his business work. My husband wants to do it, but I’m afraid that if we do this it might get in the way when we go to buy a home next year. Am I just being selfish? Signed D D, you are not being selfish. Wanting to stay solvent so you can make your own dreams come true is not a selfish act. It’s a sensible act.

family, particularly the kids, whose to say that another loan is actually going to solve the problem.? What have your sister-in-law and brotherin-law done to demonstrate they’re serious about their debt problems? If their solution is simply to get a consolidation loan, that’s not enough. Here are more reasons why you should think twice about co-signing for their consolidation loan: People who need a cosigner can’t qualify on their own because the lender believes they will default. I have heard of the odd positive cosigning experience like a young adult with no credit history whose parents sign on because they know their kid is a stand-up person who would sooner die than stick them with debt. But I’ve heard five times as many negative stories: parents who have been stuck with their children’s irresponsible behaviour; family who watch as the primary signer goes bankrupt leaving them holding the loan. If a body can’t qualify for a loan on its own merits,
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
you have to wonder if you’re actually doing that body a favour by adding more weight to their debt load. Co-signed debt is 100 per cent your debt. A lot of people don’t seem to realize this, I’m not sure why since it is clearly stated in all the loan paperwork. But here it is in black and white: If the primary borrower drops dead or defaults on the loan, you are 100 per cent responsible for repaying any loans you may have co-signed. It doesn’t matter that you didn’t get the money. It doesn’t matter that the primary borrower swore you were off the hook. The reason you’re co-signing is to guarantee repayment, and if the lender can’t get blood from one stone, it’ll come looking for your stones.
Co-signed debt is factored into calculations that determine whether you’ll get approved for any kind of borrowing, including a mortgage. That’s right. Since you’re on the hook for that $27,000 loan you co-signed for, that’s $27,000 less you can borrow for your own purposes. Again, people seem not to realize that there is a limit to how much lenders will let you take on. Perhaps it’s because lenders have been so lax with this particular rule that folks think credit is unlimited. Well, the credit bucket is not bottomless. Taking on the responsibility of co-signing could mean your ability to borrow for your own goals is thwarted. So how do you say no to family or friends who see you as financially stable and a good resource for solving their problems? Try this… Tonya, both Paul and I would love to help, but right now we’re just not in a position to do so financially. We would be happy to sit down with you and Tony to talk about ways you could clean up the financial mess you’re in. And we’d be happy to help in other ways, like taking the kids when you guys are working extra hard to get that debt paid off. But we can’t co-sign right now. What else can we do to help you? If Tonya and Tony stomp out in a huff because all they want is your signature, you can count your blessings. It would only be a matter of time before that co-signed loan came between you anyway. At least now you’re not also on the hook financially.

Canadian average home prices surge with strong economy By Wayne Karl
AVERAGE HOME PRICES showed
moderate to strong year-over-year increases in most markets in Canada in the third quarter of 2015, according to the latest Royal LePage House Price Survey. While the effects of the crude oil shock are still filtering through the economy, the country’s non-energy sectors are beginning to regain momentum as a lower Canadian dollar stimulates sharply higher exports, particularly to the U.S., supporting overall consumer confidence and the strength of Canada’s real estate markets. On a national basis, the average price of a home increased eight per cent year-over-year to $502,643 in the third quarter. Two-storey homes rose 9.9 per cent year-over-year to $615,304, bungalows 6.8 per cent to $421,757, and condominiums increased 2.7 per cent to $338,945. “Economic slowdowns in energy-
dependent markets, most notably in western Canada, have in part been offset by both renewed industrial activity in other parts of the country and the Bank of Canada’s recent interest rate cuts,” says Phil Soper, chief executive officer, Royal LePage. As was the case in recent quarters, the strong national home price increases are largely being driven by continued double-digit percentage increases in the Greater Toronto Area and Greater Vancouver. Such price increases may be good news for those who already own a home, but present growing affordability challenges for prospective homebuyers. “Access to affordable housing in our largest cities has been and will continue to be a challenge for policy makers and for prospective homeowners,” Soper told New Condo Guide. “There are similar housing-
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/waynekarl
access challenges in major urban centres worldwide, from New York to Mumbai. “Despite the high cost of large city homeownership, thousands of firsttime buyers find a solution every year.” Soper says prospective buyers can consider the following compromises: Geography: Move farther from the most expensive regions and neighbourhoods of a city, or away from the city core and commute. Property type: Choose a smaller property or a one with less expensive features (a smaller condo versus a detached home, for example). Financial: Take more time to save in advance before purchasing or seek more attractive financing options.

Why do you need a lawyer? By Jayson Schwarz
WHEN YOU AGREE TO purchase a
new condominium, there is a 10-day cooling-off period that allows you to back out of the deal – a get-out-ofjail-free card, if you will – should you change your mind. Lately, I have had a large number of new-home buyers come to me after the 10-day coolingoff period for condominiums, or the conditional periods in a freehold new home offer, has expired. When I ask them why they waited, I get one of three standard responses: 1. I didn’t think I needed a lawyer until it was time to close. 2. The sales agent told me I didn’t need a lawyer until it was time to close. 3. The builder said he wouldn’t change anything.
A lawyer must advise you at the time you make your offer to help you avoid all of those tricky clauses where builders look for extra money that could end up costing you thousands of extra dollars on closing. It is critical that you see a lawyer before your deal is firm. It is important that your lawyer explains all the potential costs you will face and the potential changes and the potential delays you may encounter. Insist on this, and if you don’t get what you want or need, see another lawyer. Once you understand these issues, you can then return to the builder and negotiate your purchase from a position of knowledge. Lawyers are service providers, and as the customer, you need to make sure you get the necessary information
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
to make an educated decision. A home is one of the most important purchases you will ever make, so do your research. You can only get this service from a real-life, breathing, lawyer who will point out the good and the bad in your Agreement of Purchase and Sale, and who is required by the Law Society rules to explain title insurance and by law, has the responsibility to take care of you. If a builder says he won’t change anything in the offer, it will have to be the fairest offer ever written. Do your due diligence and become an educated consumer.

Three-bedroom condos attracting families By Marlene Eisner WITH THE COST OF SINGLE-FAMILY
homes in Toronto rising over the $1-million mark, the dream for some families to own a home remains just that — a dream. But for others, a new option is opening up — buying a new condo as a long-term solution to owning a home and raising a family. Such is the situation with Sabrina and Ziad Awad. Currently renting, they looked for a home they could afford and eventually made an offer on one in Pickering — far from where they now live and work — but it fell through. After the couple married last year, they decided to switch gears and look at condo projects en route to work. “We looked on Sheppard; there’s a variety between Victoria Park and Bayview off of Sheppard itself and price wise, some of them were too high at $800,000,” explains Sabrina. “Others that we looked at, we thought the area was too busy and too populated and the floor plans didn’t look too great.” And then one day, they looked across the street from their rental and noticed a new project, 1215 York Mills at the Ravine. “We had no intention of buying; we just walked across the road and walked in on that Sunday morning,” says Sabrina. “It happened to be the same day the developer released three-bedroom suites. They only had the two-bedroom suites advertised. An hour or two later, we signed an agreement.” For the Awads, it was happenstance that developer Urban Capital had revised the plans to allow for threebedroom family units, while also incorporating a dedicated playroom into the amenity plans. Because the master-planned community is situated at the foot of 13 acres of nature, alongside Brookbanks Park

and Deerlick Creek, buyers with children can use the space as a sprawling backyard. “We found a lot of families wanted the opportunity to buy in this area because they love it, but single-family house prices were too high, while the existing housing stock was too old and not realistic for their needs,” says Steven Barr, development manager at Urban Capital. “Our three-bedroom floor plans were designed with young families in mind, enabling them to own a home in York Mills that’s affordable, modern and fresh, smartly designed, and in a
one-of-a-kind natural surrounding.” For the Awads, it’s a winning situation; their commute time to work will not change and the 920-sq. ft. layout and wrap-around terrace is plenty of space for them. “Hopefully by the time we move in, we’ll have a mini-me or a mini-him running around with us,” says Sabrina. There are currently 18 threebedroom units available, and some three bedroom-plus den. Prices start from $450,900. According to Barr, demand will dictate if more three-bedroom suites will open up. “We have designed for more. Availability of these will be dictated by the market. Based on the positive response we’ve seen in Phase 1, we are integrating family-sized suites into our plans for the upcoming phases.” To learn more about the Ravine Condos at 1215 York Mills, visit the presentation centre at 1213 York Mills Rd., call 416.850.2489 or visit theravine.ca.

DOWNSVIEW is a lively neighbourhood
filled with young families. The area has lots of greenspace, including Downsview Dells, Chalkfarm Park, Exbury Park and Rodin Park, as well as stores that cater to the various ethnic communities that live here. Vibe Downsview is very much a neighbourhood of children and families. Kids can be seen walking along the streets on their way to or from school, and in good weather, the playgrounds are filled with children on weekends and after school. With a higher-than-average immigrant population, Downsview also has a strong sense of community as residents adjust to life in Canada. Meet the neighbours Downsview is a relatively young neighbourhood, with 85 per cent of residents being under the age
of 65 and lots of children under 14. Couples with children are the most common type of household, and there are roughly equal numbers of single-parent households and couples without children. In the area There are plenty of amenities in the Downsview area – public and private schools, community centres, restaurants, libraries, the Downsview Arena and the North York Sheridan Mall. There is lots of greenspace, with large parks such as Downsview Dells and Chalkfarm Park, and playgrounds for local kids. Downsview Park is very close to the neighbourhood and has all sorts of activities and programs. Planes, trains & automobiles It’s very easy to get to other parts of Toronto from Downsview. The Allen Expressway and Hwys. 401 and 40 are easily accessible to drivers, and
there are bus routes (some of them 24-hour) on Wilson, Sheppard, Keele, Jane and Torbarrie. Bike trails can take you from Downsview Dells Park to Black Creek Pioneer Village, although there are no bike lanes on the major roads. The good, the bad & the rest With lots of parks and schools, Downsview has some great facilities for families and lovers of the outdoors. Easy access to transit and driving routes also makes it easy to get around to different parts of the city. Real estate Downsview is a relatively inexpensive area. Housing prices are below average for both renters and buyers, although rental prices can be higher closer to Downsview Subway Station. New home developments coming into the area at Downsview Park should help the area’s transition.

Advice | CONDO PRO
Buy early It’s worth the wait By Barbara Lawlor
DEPENDING ON when in a condominium development’s process you purchase a suite, you will have to wait for your move-in date. If you purchase early from designs, you benefit from the optimum selection and, of course, the lowest prices. But the biggest advantage to buying early is the equity you earn over the time span of construction, which can vary if weather does not cooperate, or unexpected labour or materials shortages occur. Another benefit of buying early in the process, especially for firsttime buyers, is having time to save additional money toward your down payment. I have known young professionals who have taken the equivalent of their maintenance fee and banked it each month to use toward the deposit. This provides the extra funds for the down payment and gets you used to budgeting for your eventual carrying costs. You can also make the most of the time by considering the design of your decor and layout. You have room dimensions, so plan your colour schemes, etc., so that when you have your colour selection appointment, you will have a good idea of what will complement what. Look critically at your furnishings and accessories, and decide what to bring to your new home and what to give away or sell. This is particularly appropriate for the more mature buyer. I have met several empty-nesters who spent years making the decision to sell their long-time family home and buy a condo suite. When they were
finally sure they wanted to take advantage of carefree single-level living in a residence with wonderful amenities, they were actually happy to have time to make the transition psychologically, as well as physically. They also appreciated the opportunity to pare down possessions gradually in preparation for occupancy. This may involve passing along family heirlooms to younger generations and figuring out which items will fit into your new living space. If you are among the first to move into your condo, you may have to wait a while before the building is totally complete. The upper floors are finished after the lower ones, and some of the amenities may not be entirely ready for use. This is a similar scenario to moving into a house in a lowrise community where homeowners have to experience some dust and dirt before all the driveways and landscaping are

installed. A highrise condominium is built from the ground up, so keep that in mind if you see tradespeople going up and down on the elevators. Residents do receive things like snow removal, lawn mowing, concierge service and the like right away, which is a big part of what maintenance fees cover. Be realistic with your move, and be patient before and after you move in. Enjoy the wait – and remember that your investment will most likely increase in value by the time you move in. Whether you buy from plans when the sales office opens, an inventory suite when the condo is complete, or any time in between, the main thing is that the timing is right for you.

The project bespeaks of Reale’s own desire to embrace all things of comfort and convenience. “I wanted to include everything I’d like to see in a house, so we incorporated all we could from the fit to the finishes,” explains Reale. “We’ve included a lot of value for the money. It really meets the demand for this kind of home in this area.” This dynamic team has replaced the shoebox-size condo concept with fabulous suites that range from 1,109 to 1,562 sq. ft.

level suites offer a main level of living space and an upper level with two bedrooms, ensuite, bathroom and laundry. Each feature a garden patio while rooftop terraces and balconies are the highlights of the 11 upper, two-floor suites. From these upper terraces with more than 500 sq. ft. of space, residents will enjoy the outdoors along with city and lake views from the comfort of their own home while the city buzzes below.

Condo bubble fears are overblown By Ben Myers
IN OCTOBER, CIBC Economics
published a report that looked at the completed and unsold condominium apartment supply in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). They reported that despite the recent increase, when taken as a percentage of the total number of units recently completed, it didn’t look as dire. The author, Benjamin Tal, suggested that you have to break the numbers down further, which shows a high concentration of unsold units are located in a of couple projects and belong to just a few developers. It would be more disturbing if the unsold units were distributed evenly among the projects, which would suggest that sales in the market were declining and waning for everyone. He concluded that the unsold inventory numbers are not a sign of an impending condo bubble, and those implying so are “barking up the wrong tree.” I did a very similar analysis for my fall 2015 Market Manuscript report released in September, and I wonder if Tal read it? If not, it is fantastic to think that such a prestigious economist as Ben Tal and I are looking at data in exactly the same way – a couple of dogs barking at the same tree! Despite the fact that my analysis is strikingly similar to findings by Canada’s leading housing economist, I still get called biased on a regular basis. If you really want to know if a highrise developer thinks Toronto is in a bubble, don’t follow what they say, follow their actions. Meaning, are they still buying land for future condo projects? If they
MORE ADVICE ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news/advice
thought the condo market was in a bubble about to burst, they would expect prices to decline for units and land, and forego purchasing anything until the dust settled. In my last Market Manuscript, I showed land values tracked by MCAP Financial are increasing in downtown Toronto, and while preparing my presentation for the ULI/ PWC Emerging Trends Event, where I am one of the keynote speakers, I looked at all of the high density land transactions above $3 million dollars over the past year in the GTA. Just under 20 per cent of the properties are being purchased by ‘Top 10’ developers as determined by annual unit sales, 22 per cent by the developers ranked 11 through 25, just under 23 per cent for ‘third-tier’ developers, and 13 per cent by rookie developers.
Every developer from big to small is still buying land and putting their money where their mouths are. The biggest land sale was for $105 million at the corner of Yonge and Bloor in Toronto – you would really have to think the Toronto condo market was strong to make that type of commitment. If you really want to know if the Toronto condo market is in a bubble, asking a top economist is a good start, but a better one is following the money. Are land prices increasing and are land transactions by developers increasing? If so, there is a very good chance developers feel confident in the future of the market. Hopefully you are feeling confident about jumping into the new condominium market in 2015 or 2016. Happy condo hunting.

Free electric car offered with condo and parking spot purchase By Marlene Eisner
IF YOU’RE A SERIOUS ENVIRONMENTALIST who wants to live downtown and yearns for a car but wants to leave a small footprint on the planet, you may want to consider this: Minto, in partnership with Nissan Canada, is offering buyers of a condo in Bside, Phase 2 of its condo project Minto Westside, the option to purchase a parking space with an electric vehicle (EV) charging station along with a condo. If they do, they will receive a free Nissan LEAF, a fully-electric car. “Our goal is to design for the future,” says Wells Baker, director of conservation and sustainable design at Minto. “Installing EV chargers at Bside gives residents who want a vehicle in the city the ability to make an affirmative environmental decision. That alone is a huge step forward, but we wanted to take that next step and actually incentivize a decision towards the more sustainable option.” The cost of a parking space equipped with a leveltwo EV charging station at Bside is $43,000 plus HST; a standard spot without a charging station is $40,000 plus HST. The offer is open to purchases of one bedroom and larger units. The MSRP of a 2016 Nissan Leaf is $32,698, not including government rebates. “Accessible charging is an important consideration when people are looking at buying an electric vehicle and is especially challenging for those living in a condominium or apartment,” said Steven Rhind, director of marketing at Nissan Canada Inc. “Minto Bside’s commitment to integrating EV charging infrastructure is an important step in expanding the adoption of electric vehicles. The added incentive of offering an all-electric Nissan LEAF to buyers is exceptional.” Since 2006, Minto has certified over 2,800 units using various Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) programs on a variety of projects in Toronto, including MintoMidtown – North America’s largest condominium to achieve LEED Gold certification. “The majority of highrise buildings are faced with the challenge of overcoming a lack of infrastructure and space required for transformers needed to install electrical vehicle chargers,” says Baker. “Bside is aiming to set a new benchmark in Toronto. It’s being developed with a dedicated transformer for EV chargers as well as space to add additional chargers as demand grows.” Starting from the low $200s, Bside offers state-of-theart design-forward suites, phenomenal amenities and a highly walkable location adjacent to Toronto’s financial

LIKE MANY SOCIAL services, the Whitchurch-Stouffville Food Bank has witnessed a steady increase in the number of families it serves over the past decade. Fortunately for this volunteer-run organization, Geranium Homes has continued to raise awareness and make an annual donation of funds and non-perishable food items through its Fall Food Drive, now in its seventh year. Food bank executive director Marion Wells and treasurer Jean Noble recently accepted a cheque for a total of $4,675 along with many truckloads of food. Each year
Geranium promotes the food drive to residents of Cardinal Point, as well as its trades and suppliers that work on the company’s Stouffville new-home sites. The list includes SCS Consulting Group, James Hardie Building Products, PACE Credit Union and many others who always come through with a large contribution. “Every year we have more families coming to the Food Bank for assistance. Without the generosity of companies like Geranium Homes, as well as the individuals who contribute throughout the year, our shelves would be bare,” said Wells. Whitchurch-Stouffville mayor, Justin Altmann, was also on hand for the donation. The seven-year total of funds raised by Geranium Homes is almost $46,000, which in the hands of the Food Bank, amounts to one-and-a-half times through careful purchasing.

TO’s priciest – and cheapest – areas for car insurance By Wayne Karl
The most expensive areas for car insurance in Toronto According to Toronto Transportation Services, two of the most expensive areas happen to contain intersections with some of the highest collision rates in the city: Islington Avenue at Albion Road, and Sheppard Avenue at Morningside Road. It’s possible this may contribute to higher insurance rates in these specific neighbourhoods, Kanetix says. 1. North York (Downsview), $2,422 2. Etobicoke (Albion), $2,418 3. Scarborough (Upper Rouge), $2,373 4. Scarborough (Malvern), $2,370 5. North York (Humber Summit), $2,343 6. North York (Humberlea), $2,314 7. Etobicoke (Rexdale), $2,253 8. York (Mount Dennis), $2,241 9. North York (York University), $2,203 10. North York (Downsview/Rexdale), $2,157
VS. The cheapest areas for car insurance in Toronto Here are the 10 least expensive areas to insure a car in Toronto, though some vary by only a couple dollars. YOU LIKELY KNOW that your car insurance varies depending on the type of vehicle you drive. But did you also know it can adjust based on where you live? Here are the top 10 most – and least – expensive areas for car insurance in Toronto, from Canadian online insurance comparison site Kanetix Ltd. The average annual Toronto car insurance rate is $1,798, Kanetix says, but there is a wide range in rates depending on where in the city you live. The most expensive area in Toronto (North York – Downsview) costs 48 per cent more to insure a car than the cheapest (Downtown Toronto – Christie). Some neighbourhoods have higher levels of auto theft, while others include intersections that are more prone to collisions. Insurance companies study statistical data and determine how factors may cause increases in a driver’s rate, regardless of their personal driving and insurance histories, the company says. However, the most important determining factors are still your personal driving record and insurance history, Kanetix says.

Canary District MyHome program helps first-time condo buyers By Marlene Eisner
MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news
FIRST-TIME BUYERS looking in the Canary District can
take advantage of a new program being offered called MyHome. Through this program, first-time buyers may be eligible for a government offer of an interest-free loan equivalent to a 10 per cent down payment. The offer can be combined with the federal government’s Home Buyers’ Plan, which allows first-time homebuyers to borrow up to $25,000 from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan to go toward the cost of a new home. “This incentive was chosen as we wanted to help home buyers realize ownership, and understand the difficulties they are faced with in terms of deposits and mortgages etc.,” says Jason Lester, senior vice president of Dundee Kilmer. To be eligible for the program, purchasers need to: be currently renting, not owning; be a first-time buyer with the unit being the principal residence; have a total household income of $87,800 (including all individuals over 19 who will be residing in the home); be a permanent resident or citizen of Canada; be over 18 years old. Built by Dundee Kilmer, Canary District has been named Community of the Year by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD), and received the Canadian Architect’s Award of Excellence. The mid-rise buildings of Canary Park Condominiums + Townhomes
enclose a landscaped central courtyard, with each building facing a different street for a choice of park, promenade, lake or downtown skyline views. The condominiums and townhomes comprise two architecturally pristine towers with a contemporary, eclectic esthetic and an exclusive residents-only courtyard with open, cabana-style seating. On-site amenities include designer lounges, catering kitchen, billiards and dining rooms and fully equipped fitness facilities. Located at Bayview Ave. and Front St., prices start in the mid-$200s; closings are scheduled for spring 2016. The Canary District is adjacent to the Distillery District and the 18-acre urban oasis Corktown Common park, which connects with pedestrian and bike paths on the Don Valley Trail system, making it the start of an 1,800-km network. Situated directly on the new Cherry Street streetcar line, it’s just minutes to the subway, giving residents an ideal balance of city hustle and laidback living. Visit the presentation centre at 398 Front Street, Monday to Thursday from noon to 6 p.m. or weekends from noon to 5 p.m., and find out more about the MyHome Program.

First baby How one new mom made her house his home By Wayne Karl | Photos by Mucho Love Photography
JENNIFER MARDINI RECENTLY
welcomed her first baby – son Carter – into her life and into her home. Here’s her experience. New Condo Guide: This is your first child and your first home. What changes did you make to your home to welcome Carter? Mardini: My husband Jairo and I bought our first home in March 2014. It has three bedrooms, so we knew
eventually one of the rooms would become the baby’s once we were ready. Other than a bedroom for our new bundle of joy, we made some space in one of our living rooms to fit his playpen, which also serves as a bassinet and change table. NCG: Did you know you were having a boy, and how did you plan, design and decorate the baby room accordingly? Mardini: Yes, we knew we were
having a boy – I couldn’t not know the sex of my first child. I’m a planner; I need to be organized. Carter’s room was our extra “closet” before he was born, so we had to move everything out once we started working on his room. When we first moved in, we painted the entire house – all the bedrooms were painted grey. So I knew I wanted to …continued on page 82

use grey as the starting point, with lots of white. I also wanted to add an accent chevron wall and then add blue and green accents. NCG: What is the theme of Carter’s room — neutral or more boyish with sports, cars and trucks? Mardini: It’s very modern and contemporary – lots of grey and white, accented with navy and some light blues and greens here and there. Lots of patterns, too – I’m not the colourful, safari jungle type. NCG: Describe the little guy’s room — space, layout and furnishings. Mardini: Carter’s room is about 100 sq. ft. and is furnished with a white bedroom set, including a crib that converts into a double bed, a sixdrawer dresser and a change table. It also has a full closet, a navy and white area rug, grey chevron curtains and a grey and white glider chair for me. NCG: Now that Carter’s with you, anything you wish you had done differently in preparing his room? Mardini: Carter’s only a month and a half old, so outside of eating, sleeping and pooping, there’s not a whole lot that he needs other than our attention. We don’t use his room too much right now because he sleeps in the master with mommy. NCG: What other adjustments did you make in your home for Carter’s comfort and safety? Mardini: Nothing really. We did receive a baby video monitor as a shower gift – we use it when he’s napping. Once he starts crawling around, we’ll definitely have to reorganize and remove some things. NCG: What advice would you have for other first-time parents when it comes to preparing their home for baby? Mardini: De-clutter! From the garage to the basement, bathrooms and bedrooms. We de-cluttered the entire house of things we didn’t need or use anymore. It’s amazing how quickly junk adds up. And start early – even if it’s a slow start. There’s always something to do, so for me, the earlier the better. Start with the basics and

go from there. Try to do something every day so it doesn’t feel like you’re cramming everything in at once. NCG: How is he settling in? Mardini: Quite nicely – I think it’s mom and dad who have had to do the settling in. NCG: How is mom doing? Mardini: I’m doing great overall! Tired, but we all knew that. Adjusting, of
course, and getting used to a whole new routine. I love being a mom – Carter’s mom! NCG: Can you tell – is he a Jays fan? Mardini: Jays fan all the way! My husband and I were at Game 5 of the American League Division Series. What a story to tell him one day! NCG: Leafs of Canadiens? Mardini: Definitely Leafs!

Construction starts on
The Upper House in Leaside IN THE HEART OF TORONTO’S beloved
Leaside neighbourhood comes an iconic new residence from the award-winning team at Knightstone Capital Management called The Upper House – Leaside’s first and only boutique condominium and townhome community. Together with Kearns Mancini Architects and Chestnut Park Real Estate Ltd., executives from Knightstone gathered on Oct. 18 with community members and media for an official ground-breaking ceremony to celebrate the start of construction at The Upper House. “This is a very exciting time for us at Knightstone, for future residents and for the Leaside community,” said David Lehberg, president and CEO of Knightstone Capital Management. “This ground breaking marks yet another milestone in the continued success at The Upper House, and in bringing one of Toronto’s best neighbourhoods its first boutique community.” Guests were invited to enjoy a community BBQ where one of Leaside’s favourite local butcher shops, Grill Time, served up a few grilled favourites and refreshments. Representatives from Chestnut Park also made themselves available to answer questions and sign contracts with guests looking to join this coveted community. Set for occupancy in 2017, the distinguished seven-storey residence located at Laird Drive and Millwood Road features a total of 66 suites including 12, two-storey townhomes designed by the prestigious Kearns Mancini Architects Inc. with interiors by Chase International Design Consultants Inc. Available in a variety of layouts, suites at The Upper House range in size from

THE
COCOON CONDO By Yanic Simard | Photos by Brandon Barre
TRENDS COME AND GO, BUT
IN THE KITCHEN
some things are timeless. Knowing where to make a little extra investment into your condo will help not just with resale value down the road, but also with creating that warm and inviting space that makes it “home.” To kick-start the metamorphosis from cookie-cutter to one-of-a-kind, here are my top 10 upgrade options to consider:
1. Cabinetry: In an open plan, upgrading the cabinetry means improving the view from every angle. Wood is both a hot trend and an ageless classic, so consider skipping the safe white or nearblack espresso and going with the grain, so to speak, such as a gorgeous, textural walnut stained in a medium grey hue.
2. Hardware: Why invest in new cabinets and settle for standard hardware? Even existing cupboards will benefit from the facelift provided by this relatively inexpensive upgrade. Try pairing sleek pulls for the bottom cabinets, with a contrasting knob for the uppers. Also consider upgrading doorknobs and other oft-forgotten hardware details to achieve true bespoke appeal.
90 YPNEXTHOME.CA
TCG 11-07-15 master.indd 90
2015-11-03 3:50 PM
3. Backsplash: A mirrored backsplash dramatically opens the visual space, making 800 sq. ft. feel like 1,600! Plus, there will be no trendy tile patterns that will grow dated in a few years. One of my favourites is a grey glass that gives a warm, smoky character to the reflection for sophisticated elegance, with minimal cuts for a seamless look. 4. Countertop: I love mixing different materials to get a sense of contrast between the island top and the main counters. There’s nothing wrong with pairing clean quartz and rich marble. To save costs, invest in a beautiful material for the island where it will be shown off, and save the standard finish for the back counters where they draw less attention. OPPOSITE PAGE This kitchen renovation by Toronto Interior Design Group features added lighting to highlight the new island top, and a mirrored backsplash to double the space, as well as upgraded cabinetry and hardware.
IN THE BATHROOM
5. Tiling: Taking the tile from floor to ceiling creates a polished look essential to a feeling of spa-like luxury – a key to both market value and for your own day-to-day feeling of relaxation. Try a 1/3 offset pattern for subtle movement. 6. Shower: Once you have beautiful tiling in place, show it off with a glass shower panel rather than a curtain. If your space doesn’t already have one, you’ll find it almost essential for resale down the road. Allow for at least a 22-inch opening, or use a glass door for access. 7. Vanity: Storage is important, but so is feeling like you have room to move and breathe. A vanity with legs and plenty of open space will expand your bathroom without knocking down any walls. This custom unit gave my client functional shelving without eating up more of the room than necessary.
BOTTOM A simple focal point gives the
IN THE LIVING ROOM:
eye the direction it craves.
8. Lighting: I have worked on many condo renovations that involved concrete ceilings where no extra lighting could be added – or so you thought! A dropped ceiling panel
RIGHT The custom open vanity provides
storage for essentials without occupying too much visual space, despite its weighty, masculine appeal.
“Create a focal wall to balance the visual weight of built-in features like cabinetry.” added over your island will reduce the perception of lofty ceiling height, while allowing for the installation of pot lights or pendants. Adding this extra layer of light avoids harsh shadows and dim spots. 9. Floor: In a small space, avoiding breaks between flooring provides the illusion of greater square footage. Let one hardwood run throughout as much area as possible (even through the kitchen) for a harmonious look that seems to go on forever. 10. Focal point: Last, but not least, create a focal wall to balance the visual weight of built-in features like cabinetry. This may seem like a superficial upgrade, but even just one large mirror will open the space while providing the visual anchor, enhancing the way you and your guests psychologically perceive the rest of your material investments.

Preview of Nautique Lakefront Residences by Adi Development Group draws huge crowds
MORE TRENDING ONLINE ypnexthome.ca/news
THE EXCITEMENT WAS palpable in downtown Burlington
recently as crowds flocked to the highly anticipated VIP preview of Nautique Lakefront Residences by Adi Development Group. Set to arrive on Burlington’s coveted downtown waterfront, the iconic tower will define a new gateway to the city’s core. Nautique’s exquisitely appointed presentation centre was abuzz with eager buyers looking to be the first to preview the unique suite layouts and spectacular model suite. “The response from everyone who walked through the door at Nautique’s preview unveiling blew us away. The incredible demand confirms that the city has been waiting for this type of design-forward, luxury condo on the waterfront,” says Tariq Adi, CEO of Adi Development Group. A standout in Burlington’s hot market, Nautique will introduce a new price point to the city’s previously unattainable waterfront, with exclusive lakefront residences starting from the high $200,000s Introducing an entirely new design perspective to the city’s core, Nautique’s striking contemporary façades by RAW Design make a bold statement with translucent glass and fluid lines that reflect its lakeside setting. Preview registrants were invited to experience Nautique’s interiors designed by world-renowned Cecconi Simone, evoking a sophisticated, contemporary lakeside lifestyle. “We were so pleased with the response to our preview opening. Buyers are so excited about this project,” says
Saud Adi, COO of Adi Development Group. “The incredible demand and feedback speaks to the fact that Nautique offers the best amenities, the best views, and the best location in the city.” Guests enjoyed being the first to explore the expansive layout of the model suite with all elements pointing to breathtaking views of Lake Ontario. The custom European kitchen prioritizes both style and function, set around a sleek, oversized island that doubles as both a workspace and a hub for entertaining, while panelled appliances disappear from view, hidden behind designer cabinetry. Nautique’s amenity mix is deserving of a five-star hotel, but offered exclusively to residents. Nautique’s Sky Lounge will offer the highest vantage point in the city to take in panoramic views of Lake Ontario, and a quiet retreat in the fireside lounge. On the sixth floor, the building’s stateof-the-art fitness centre, yoga deck and outdoor pool encourage a year-round active lifestyle. Located at the corner of Martha and Lakeshore, Nautique is a residential tower that will consist of 170 units, ranging from 452 – 1,316 s.f with layouts ranging from one bedroom to two bedrooms plus den. Prices start in the high $200,000s. Opening fall 2015, the Adi Home Store is located at 375 Brant Street, Burlington. To register and receive information about the preview opening, visit adidevelopments.com. For more information, phone 289.337.0766 or email nautique@adidevelopments.com.
