Want to get a feel for what’s hot in the world of technology and design this year? All you have to do is visit today’s gorgeous model suites and take a look around. You’re sure to be inspired and surprised.

Shopping for a new condominium is a great opportunity to see the latest technology and decorating trends, while comparing features and finishes of different projects. If you’re buying brand new, you’ll likely be buying from floor plans, which can be tough. Builders’ models bring those plans to life, helping you envision what life might be like after you paint the white walls in the latest designer colours and set up your home office with all the latest gadgets and gizmos.

In terms of furnishings, a walk through any model suite will prove that there is plenty of cutting-edge creativity being applied to new condos today.

From simple suites to extravagant penthouses, inspiration and a few surprises await you.

2 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Toronto’s limited supply of land, coupled with our rising population, demand and prices, means homebuyers are increasingly expanding their search and setting their sights skyward. Condominiums have gained popularity, and not just among first-time homebuyers. More and more, we’re seeing condos become the home of choice for families, thanks to the prime locations, convenient lifestyle and the affordability they offer.

There’s a new dream home on the market – “new” not just in terms of construction, but in concept as well. Home builders today are designing condos with efficient layouts and smart features, and they’re not just “small but sweet” spaces anymore either. The rising trend of two- and even three-bedroom suites welcomes those who choose to call condos “home” as their family grows and their needs change through the years.

When hunting for your next home, think about what’s most important to you – now, and in the future. A successful home search will balance price, location and amenities. Do your research, explore all avenues, and see what your budget can buy.

BILD REPORT

New communities support transit

By Bryan Tuckey

I

n the provincial budget a few weeks ago, there was funding set aside for municipal infrastructure projects that will go a long way in welcoming the population and jobs that are forecast to come to the GTA over the next few decades.

One of the big pieces will be the fully funded $1.6-billion light rail transit line in Peel Region, connecting the cities of Mississauga and Brampton along Hurontario-Main Street.

When it was announced, Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie said the funding would help to build the city’s largest infrastructure project and called it “transformational.” City of Brampton Mayor Linda Jeffrey said the “transit option will act as a catalyst for further investment.”

I agree that the much-needed transit investment is a big step in the right direction and will prove to be transformational in a positive way if there are appropriate planning policies in place to support it.

By that, I mean the transit investment needs to be supported by the creation of transit-supported communities. Building complete communities, with the appropriate density of people and employment spaces, along transit lines like the new one in Mississauga and Brampton makes sense because they will help to sustain the operation of the service over the long term.

In the land development and home building industry, we refer to predesignating and pre-zoning as a strategy that municipalities can use to encourage certain types of construction along transit corridors.

So the next step is for municipalities to create and update land-use plans, like their zoning by-laws, to support the transit investment so that there will be the ridership necessary to support the transit.

Mississauga and Brampton’s LRT isn’t the only transit corridor that could benefit. Other examples include the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, which is under 10 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

construction in Toronto now, and there was the recent announcement of construction starting on the 11-kilometre, 18-stop Finch West LRT. The Finch line is forecast to carry 40,000 riders a day by 2031.

To achieve that forecast density, the industry should not have to fight for appropriate intensification along these transit corridors and people who want to live and work nearby should not be delayed by drawn-out approval processes.

This is not a time for small plans – it’s time for everyone to embrace the change that comes with high-density development needed to support the long-term sustainability of this $1.6-billion investment.

What’s most important is that we all work together to have better movement of goods and people, so that it gets easier to move around the region as we continue to grow.

CONDO PRO

The occupancy fee: not a mortgage payment, not rent. So, what is it?

By Barbara Lawlor

With a condominium, depending on when in the sales/ construction process you purchase, you will most likely enjoy occupancy long before you receive the title to your suite.

O

ne of the most misunderstood expenses of condo ownership is the interim occupancy fee. When your lowrise home closes and you move in, you officially own it. With a condominium, depending on when in the sales/construction process you purchase, you will most likely enjoy occupancy long before you receive the title to your suite.

Unless you move in after the condo is registered, you do not own your suite outright. You enter into what is referred to as “interim occupancy.” This is the gap between the occupancy date given to you once roof-topping has occurred, and when the condominium is registered and you receive title. Until that time, the suite is still owned by the vendor.

In Ontario, a “condominium” is not formed until it is completed and passes the approval processes that enable it to be registered with the Land Registry Office. In highrise condos, the lower floors are finished long before the upper levels, but the approvals process begins once the first suite is occupied. It typically takes up to six months, although sometimes it can be quicker. During this time, you will pay an occupancy fee to the developer.

This fee encompasses three elements. First, it is determined by the interest portion of the balance owing on the purchase price (usually payable on the registration date) based on a one-year mortgage rate of the Bank of Canada. Second, it includes the estimated maintenance fees for the suite, and third, its portion of the estimated real estate taxes. There are also other fees such as the enrollment of your suite with Tarion Warranty Corp.

16 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

You may think of this as rent, but it’s not, and it’s also not money that can be applied toward your mortgage. Once the title is transferred, you take out your mortgage and the builder/developer receives the money. The benefit to the suite owners is that you get to move in more quickly and not have to wait until registration.

COVER STORY

Exhibit Residences on Bloor at Avenue Road MOVE IN 2016 JUST A YEAR AWAY FROM OCCUPANCY, EXHIBIT IS RISING UP as four cubes, each slightly rotated and veiled with fritted glass. Once completed, it will artfully complement, and contrast with the brilliant Royal Ontario Museum across the street, and the distinctively vibrant Bloor/Yorkville lifestyle.

20 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Designed by Rosario Varacalli, one of Toronto’s premier architects, Exhibit offers forever-protected views of the CN Tower and Lake Ontario. “Exhibit’s design addresses the context of its neighbourhood and specifically Daniel Libeskind’s intervention on the ROM,” says Varacalli.

Each of the four cubes that comprise Exhibit is like a building unto itself, with each cube showcasing uniquely different Limited Edition suite collections and singular advantages. However, all residences will share the same high standards of luxurious finishes, from exclusively designed interiors by Diego Burdi of Burdifilek, designers of Holt Renfrew, to sweeping wrap-around windows and outdoor fritted-glazed balconies. As well, there is above-ground parking for all residents in a separate cube at the rear, which will be wrapped by windows providing natural light throughout the parking garage.

The final four suites, two of which are located in the top cube, boast wrap-around balconies that showcase panoramic views of Toronto. Oversized master bedrooms feature walk-in closets and exquisitely finished bathrooms, as well as kitchens outfitted with all the latest Sub-Zero, Wolf and Miele appliances.

Each of the four cubes that comprise Exhibit is like a building unto itself, with each cube showcasing uniquely different Limited Edition suite collections and singular advantages Penthouse suite offers 50 ft. frontage with full perimeter balcony and forever protected and unobstructed views to the south.

All residents will be welcomed home through a stunning lobby complete with an executive concierge 24/7. There is also a spectacular Entertainment Floor, showcasing several lounges, one with a cool curved bar, and the other with a private dining room with catering kitchen, a party room with a linear

fireplace, and outdoor rooftop garden oasis with a shimmering reflecting pool. One floor above, residents can work out in the fitness gallery equipped with state-of-the-art equipment, enjoy the yoga studio or relax in the cool-down lounge next to an inviting double-sided fireplace.

“Exhibit will prove itself a powerful landmark of the Downtown Toronto skyline,” says Veronika Belovich, director of sales and marketing for Bazis. “It is a beautifully artful statement of a boutique building, which stands out with its unique architecture, luxury suites and absolutely clear, unobstructed views.”

Developed by Bazis, Metropia and Plaza, Exhibit is situated at 200 Bloor St. W. in the midst of Toronto’s “cultural avenue.” Its heartof-Yorkville address means Exhibit is just moments away from museums, designer boutiques, specialty stores, and some of Toronto’s finest cuisine.

The remaining suites range from $659,900 to $3,849,900.

IN THE NEWS

April showers, and housing starts grow in the GTA

F

lowers weren’t the only thing growing in the Toronto area this spring.

Housing starts trended higher at 32,538 units in April compared to 30,303 in March, according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp.

(CMHC). The trend is a six month moving average of the monthly seasonally adjusted annual rates (SAAR) of housing starts.

“The upward trend in housing starts was driven by all housing types,” says Dana Senagama, CMHC’s principal of market analysis for the GTA. “Strong highrise completions so far this year have enabled builders to channel more resources towards breaking ground on new projects. Moreover, building has begun on a high number of lowrise homes sold prior to construction in the second half of 2014 – particularly single-detached and townhomes – and these can now be counted as housing starts.”

CMHC uses the trend measure as a complement to the monthly SAAR of housing starts to account for considerable swings in monthly estimates and obtain a more complete picture of the state of the housing market. In some situations, analysing only SAAR data can be misleading in some markets, as they are largely driven by the multiples segment of the markets which can be quite variable from one month to the next.

28 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

The City of Toronto and the City of Markham recorded the first and second highest number of starts respectively in the CMA The stand-alone monthly SAAR was 38,855 units in April, down from 46,070 units in March. This was the result of a decrease in apartment starts this month.

The City of Toronto and the City of Markham recorded the first and second highest number of starts respectively in the CMA. Both of these municipalities had a significant number of condominium apartment starts. The next highest number of starts occurred in the City of Brampton, which saw the largest number of lowrise units begin construction.

STAT CHAT

The good and bad news if you’re looking for a new condo in the GTA

By Ben Myers

I

n early May, highrise condo market research firm Urbanation released their Q1-2015 data. A couple numbers jumped out at me immediately. The number of unsold condominiums among actively selling new projects declined 10 per cent annually, and overall projects were 84 per cent sold, a record high. So if you’re looking for a new condo, you have fewer choices – almost 2,500 units less than the market peak in 2013.

The bad news is you have much fewer condos to choose from. The good news is you still have over 17,000 suites to pick from! If you’re like me, and you prefer the menu at the restaurant to have four pages of options and not 12, the 17,000 suites available might seem a bit overwhelming. How can you possibly choose?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been asked, “Hey, you’re the stats guy. Where should I buy?” The answer depends on your budget and your needs, but if you’re looking for affordable product in an area that is growing, take a look at The Anchors by Dunsire Developments. Anchors is located in the south Mississauga submarket, which saw new condominium prices increase by nine per cent annually, the second-highest growth rate among GTA submarkets in Q1-2015, according to Urbanation.

Perhaps you’re looking for a condo downtown and you have a modest budget. I’d say take a look at East Fifty Five by Lamb Development Corp. and Hyde Park Homes. The Downtown East new condo market is almost 90 per cent sold, with just 5.5 months of unsold supply, indicating the market is quite hot.

Perhaps you are a current condo owner in a small unit downtown and want something bigger. You also want a smaller building and quieter neighbourhood, but you still want access to transit! Well, Toronto East might be the area to survey for your next place. Toronto East is 93 per cent sold and there are just 2.6 months of supply, the lowest of any submarket in the GTA per Urbanation. The neighbourhoods east of the DVP are popular with move-up condo buyers, as the buildings are smaller and quieter, the units are bigger, and there are more family-friendly amenities nearby. A future site to watch is The Greenwood by Sierra Building Group, which is located on the Danforth.

32 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Perhaps you’re not looking for the next hot area, but the most desirable one. Well Bloor-Yorkville tops that list, with an average unsold new condominium price of over $900 per sq.-ft., which is $100 per sq. ft. higher than any other submarket in the GTA. I’d recommend checking out the Fortress Real Developments website in the future, we’ve got some luxury developments coming soon!

Luckily, I didn’t have too much bad news for you. However, I always recommend doing your own research, buying what you can afford, and setting realistic expectations.

LEGALLY SPEAKING

What is a condo, anyway?

By Jayson Schwarz

W

hat is a condo? It is a creature of statute created under the Condominium Act of Ontario as, among other things, a means of consumer protection through the imposition of certain time and disclosure requirements on their purchase and sale. A condominium is not necessarily just a highrise apartment. They can include townhouses, semi-detached or detached units. Condos can be industrial, commercial or residential. Condos also come in the form of common-element condominiums (where a number of homeowners share a central recreation facility), phased condominium corporations, vacant-land or leasehold condominiums.

How does it get there? The developer takes land and plans through many stages, which includes negotiating agreements with governmental authorities and utilities, and for residential condos, Tarion enrollment. Only then will the developer receive the necessary approvals to start construction. At the same time, the developer prepares with his lawyer the declaration, description and disclosure statement. Once the facility is constructed and passes inspection by the Municipality, purchasers may be given occupancy or possession, but title has to wait. After all the paperwork has been approved, the Ministry of Housing inspects and approves the project for release. The developer then registers the appropriate documents and advises purchasers it is time for the final closing, at which point the purchaser gets the deed.

What do I own personally? In most cases, you own the interior of your unit to half-way through the walls, floors and ceiling, and your proportionate share of the common elements – all of which is outlined in the condominium documents you received.

Then there’s the question of a parking spot or storage locker. If these are included in your purchase, do you own them or do you have an exclusive-use arrangement? In order to get title to these elements it must be specified in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale. If you get exclusive use of the parking spot or storage locker, they’re owned by the condo corporation and used exclusively by you pursuant to your agreement and subject to the by-laws and rules of the condo corporation.

What is a Status Certificate? A Status Certificate provides a wealth of information necessary to make educated decisions as a condo owner, including: › a statement of common expenses of the unit and default in payment (if any); › any increases since last budget and reasons for them; › any assessments levied; › outstanding judgments and legal actions (if any); › budget and financial statements; › copies of all agreements affecting the condo; › reserve fund details; › contemplated and actual financial, service and physical changes; and many other items.

34 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Check sec 76(1) of the Condominium Act or ask your lawyer for a copy. The cost of obtaining a Status Certificate from the condo corporation is $100.

Why a condominium? Condos offer a different lifestyle to the consumer than freehold home ownership, and their composition is only limited by the imagination of builders and developers. There will be as many different options as there are creative people. What do I mean? How about a 4,000-sq.-ft. freestanding home on a one-acre estate lot that is freehold but the owner is part of a condominium corporation that participates in a water and sewer treatment plant and maintains its own security force?

Think outside the box. Today’s condos are a way to have your cake and eat it too.

FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

WHO AND WHAT TO BELIEVE?

By Wayne Karl

F

or homeowners, when someone says your home is drastically overvalued, naturally, you worry. If you’re a prospective homebuyer, such news might cause you to delay your purchase. That’s the power of housing valuations.

The problem is, who and what to believe?

Here are some recent examples of Canada’s housing valuations, from a variety of sources: Deutsche Bank: overvalued by 60 per cent Bank of Canada: overvalued by 30 per cent International Monetary Fund: overvalued by 11 per cent TD Bank: overvalued by 11 per cent Canadian housing economist Will Dunning: undervalued by nine per cent With such a wide variance in valuations, and using differing measures, who to believe, indeed?

“Far too many foreign economists try to make overly simplified statements about foreign housing markets they don’t understand enough about,” Calum Ross, mortgage broker and real estate investor.

“Above and beyond the traditional measures, there are a number of less tangible measures, such as the stability of social, political and economic systems at the federal, provincial and municipal level.

“Canada represents one of single largest countries in the world and going from coast to coast, Canada is home to a very diverse group of people with local economics that are vastly different,” Ross says. “Saying there is a Canadian housing market is no less ridiculous than saying there is ‘Canadian temperature.’”

Thankfully, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) added some context recently in its House Price Analysis and Assessment (editor’s note: for more information, flip to page 56), which provided a market-by-market snapshot by Canada’s larger centres. The report attached a risk level – low, moderate or high – for the major cities, using risk factors of overheating, acceleration in house prices, overvaluation and overbuilding.

With Regina and Winnipeg, of all places, being the only major centres earning “high risk” assessments, CMHC’s report reminds everyone that housing markets must be assessed on a micro level, not wide-swathing national viewpoints. Canada’s most expensive market, Vancouver, earned a “low risk,” while Toronto, the other market often mentioned in conversations about overvaluation, was ranked as “moderate risk.”

“From a pure economic theory standpoint, when interest rates are low, then real asset prices will go up,” says Ross. “Real estate is one of the most

38 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

interest-rate-sensitive sectors of the global economy. When it comes to mortgages, what we know is that people have a tendency to buy payments and be less concerned with total debt. The lower interest rates and longer amortizations allow for lower payment and as long as payments stay affordable – many people won’t get caught up with the sticker shock of more expensive real estate prices.”

So, who to believe, next time you see a report on Canada’s housing valuations? Well, a Canadian source such as CMHC is a good start. Otherwise, as experts stress, remember to look at your individual market for a clearer indication, not the national assessment.

INVESTOR ADVICE

Should condo investors fear the rental apartment boom?

By Andrew La Fleur

E

very month, a new rental tower is being announced in Toronto. Existing condo sites are being converted into rental buildings, and upcoming highrise sites that last year would almost certainly be condos are today being proposed as rentals.

In Toronto, virtually no purpose built rental apartment buildings have been built over the last 20 years. In fact, the bulk of rental apartment buildings was built in the ’60s and ’70s.

Some are describing Toronto’s rental renaissance as a “rental boom,” and although that moniker is probably taking things too far, it’s true that this is a definite trend worth taking note of – especially if you’re a condo investor or are planning to become one.

There are five major forces at play that all point to the fact that the rental apartment boom is actually good news for condo investors.

More sites that would normally have been condos are now apartments Why is this? Institutional investors and pension funds are always looking for stable long-term returns. Owning rental housing in a growing metropolis is the definition of a stable long-term asset that provides income.

No one is selling any rental buildings (the returns are too good, why would they?) so they have to build new ones themselves. Pension funds also want to take advantage of today’s low interest rates where they can lock in construction financing now and enjoy the great returns in the future. continued on pg. 42

40 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

INVESTOR ADVICE continued

Existing condo sites are being converted into rental buildings, and upcoming highrise sites that last year would almost certainly be condos are today being proposed as rentals New condo launches down in 2015 There has been only one new project with 116 units added to the downtown core so far in 2015 – Design Haus Condos. This is unprecedented in the last six years.

Now, don’t get me wrong. We are expecting some great new launches this year but it is clear that 2015 will fall short of the 2014 and 2013 figures for new product being added to the key downtown core market.

It all adds up to this: less available condo sites, plus less new condo supply, means rising condo prices in the future.

Prices and rents are increasing despite record completions There has been a record number of new condo completions over the last 12 months in Toronto. All the condo bears have been waiting years for this massive surge of new condo supply to hit the rental and resale markets, causing prices to crash. Well, it finally happened, and how did the market respond? Rents are up about one per cent, and condo prices are up three to five per cent – both very encouraging signs for condo investors.

If the condo market can not only withstand this kind of record-high completion rate, but actually see price increases in the face of it, then the future is very bright for this market – especially in the years ahead like 2017-2018, when it is expected that the number of completions will be much lower than they are right now based on the lack of recent new launches.

Detached prices continue to soar out of reach The average price of a detached home in Toronto is now over $1 million. Who can afford to buy a house for a million dollars? Very few people. Actually, only those people who are already in the housing market for at least five years and have built up substantial equity that they carry over. There are essentially no first-time buyers coming to Toronto any more.

Institutional investors see this as another key reason to get into the rental housing business now. There will be more and more people “giving up on home ownership.” as one recent article put it, in the years to come, and they will be long-term renters. Just like other major cities in the world, expect the home-ownership rate in Toronto to slowly decrease over the next decade.

42 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Individual investors will reap the benefits. More renters and fewer homebuyers means increased demand and pricing for condos. Prices and rents for condos will continue to grow as long as new supply is held in check, which we already discussed it will be.

Millennials prefer renting This is another driver of the rental apartment boom. Mobility is the new currency of millennials. They love being able to move to different neighbourhoods every year, take a new job, and try a new city. Travel and experiences trump cars and white picket fences for this generation, many of which were under age 35 in Toronto.

Expect that number to push past 40 for most homebuyers in the future.

These trends all point to the fact that those with foresight to invest in the condo market today will continue to reap the benefits in the years ahead.

Toronto’s heritage buildings revived with respect

By Kara Kuryllowicz

The design for Five Condos at Yonge and St. Joseph Street preserves the original exterior of Rawlinson Cartage, one of the oldest moving companies in Toronto. This is touted as one of the most significant historic facade retention projects ever undertaken in Toronto.

he best of the past, present and future comes together in new condos when openminded, creatively innovative architects and developers work with the City of Toronto to preserve and protect heritage buildings.

“In 2005, the Ontario Heritage Act changed to better define and facilitate the City of Toronto’s ability to preserve and protect buildings, 40 years of age and older, in a way that maintains their integrity and place in the historic development of a particular street,” says Mary MacDonald, acting manager, Heritage Preservation Services, City Planning, Toronto. “There is still the potential for more grey versus black and white [in the] decision making process than some people would prefer, but overall, it’s an improvement on not being able to say ‘no’ to certain proposals.

“It’s complicated and a challenge to get people to understand that old and new buildings can exist for the greater good – it doesn’t have to be an either/or situation where one is sacrificed for the other,” says MacDonald.

Preserving heritage buildings can also make superb business sense as architects and developers recognize that heritage buildings can immediately bestow a recognizable identity and landmark status on new condo projects. In addition to acting continued on pg.46

as a tangible differentiator that sets it apart from the glasstower masses, it provides an exceptional marketing hook and attracts homebuyers who want an exciting, interesting and compelling spot to call “home.”

“Homebuyers who want but can’t afford a piece of Toronto’s history in the form of a detached, semi-detached or row house may find that condos that incorporate a heritage building are a viable alternative,” says MacDonald.

Toronto homebuyers can find an extraordinary variety of in-the-works and completed new condo projects that illustrate the many possible design strategies that can be employed to preserve a heritage building. One such strategy, which involves simply slapping a heritage property’s façade onto the front of a new building, is relatively common, yet reactions to it vary.

“It tends to look silly and creates a conflict between the old and the new while diminishing the value of both buildings. I’ve never seen it work well and it’s the result of a time when we couldn’t say ‘no’ to that approach,” says MacDonald. “To do conservation properly, you really need to look at the integrity and value of the individual building then treat it with respect.”

Developers who buy a property precisely because of its heritage tend to enjoy and appreciate that aspect of the project, embracing it, rather than fearing the opportunities and challenges it presents.

46 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

“The best of these, for instance Five Condos at 5 St. Joseph (pictured on pg. 44, developed by Graywood Developments and Mod Developments) and Massey Tower at 197 Yonge St. (pictured left, also by Mod Developments), preserve the buildings’ contextual relationship to the city, provide economic stimulus at a commercial level, and contribute to the wellbeing of the community on multiple levels,” says MacDonald.

“When architects and developers partner with the City to lead preservation by example, they can actually trigger more restoration.”

“The challenge lies in preserving the heritage building during construction,” says David Pontarini, founding partner, Hariri Pontarini Architects, Toronto, the firm behind Five Condos. “For example, at 5 St. Joseph, the 300-millimetre-thick historic north façade wall had to be suspended on a massive cantilevered steel truss over the excavation during a full year of construction, while the new west façade had to be rebuilt to look, materially, like it had always been there.”

ZIGG CONDO Your opportunity in Forest Hill

I

n an area known for its stately homes, the ZiGG Condo will be a contemporary presence along St. Clair Avenue West in Forest Hill. The 11-storey midrise condominium with 166 suites will be located in one of the most affluent communities in Toronto. Located just minutes from downtown, ZiGG Condo is close to the fine shops and restaurants of Forest Hill Village, numerous parks and greenspaces, and some of the best schools in the province.

The area is well served by a dedicated TTC streetcar line and within walking distance to either Yonge or University subway lines giving it a high transit score of 84 and bike score of 97. It is no wonder Toronto Life magazine ranked Forest Hill #1 for housing in its 2014 survey of neighbourhoods.

50 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

The demand for resale homes and condominiums in Forest Hill have been historically very strong, consistently commanding some of the highest prices for residential real estate in all of Canada.

Kirkor Architects envisioned a design inspired by an ancient stepped-terrace pyramid form called ‘ziggurat’, thus the moniker “ZiGG”. The façade along St. Clair Avenue will make an unforgettable impression with its juxtaposition of light and dark tones, clean lines and forward design. The Design Agency enlivened the interior with a refined urban vibe from the two-storey lobby featuring a sleek fireplace, to the convenient groundfloor amenity spaces that provide multiple opportunities for entertaining, fitness and relaxation. A beautifully appointed private dining room, kitchen and lounge

flows into a more casual multi-purpose party room equipped with wet bar, large-screen TVs and billiard table. Residents will enjoy a private fitness centre and a convenient pet-washing station with separate street access.

The jewel of ZiGG is the impressive rooftop terrace.

With Forest Hill atop a ridge, the views from the rooftop level in all directions are clear and far-reaching. Watch the sunrise over the canopy of maple and oak trees of Forest Hill, and the sunset over the Toronto skyline and Lake Ontario to the south. Relax in comfort in the covered lounge area next to the fireplace or in the indoor bar.

There are distinct areas, complemented by professional landscaping and furnishings, creating perfect spaces for casual relaxation, sunbathing, barbecuing and dining alfresco. This rooftop terrace will be an oasis to be enjoyed by all residents.

Inside, suites were created with careful attention, providing functional layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows, nine-ft. ceilings, designer-selected features and finishes.

All suites have either a balcony or terrace, fitted with privacy screens. The kitchens will feature integrated appliances, sleek cabinetry, natural stone countertops and island as per plan. Bathrooms were designed with contemporary integrated vanity mirror and medicine cabinet, natural stone countertops, undermount sink and frameless glass showers. The suites at the ZiGG will exude a modern sensibility and timeless style in every detail.

Madison Homes and Fieldgate Homes partnered to bring quality and value to this exceptional condominium residence in the heart of Forest Hill. With prices starting in the $300,000s, ZiGG is your ticket to owning real estate in one of Toronto’s most desirable neighbourhoods. This boutique condo located in convenient midtown Toronto appeals to both first-time buyers and downsizers. One-, two- or three-bedroom units and townhomes range in size from 475 to 1,800 sq. ft.

How to avoid long-term pain from your short-term rental

By Lydia McNutt

S

hort-term rentals have gained popularity recently – among travellers seeking comfortable, private “home-away-from-home” accommodations, and among homeowners looking to cash in on their property in a tourist destination.

With the Pan Am/Parapan Am Games making their way to the GTA this summer, homeowners may be considering this potentially lucrative endeavour, but experts advise doing some research before handing over the keys.

Most Canadians have heard the recent rental horror story that has left one Calgary family homeless when the hard-partying tenants they hosted through the lodging rental website Airbnb trashed their northwest Calgary home in what Calgary Police referred to as a “druginduced orgy.” In order to be “livable” again, the house, which was deemed a biohazard, will require months of decontamination and repairs to the tune of $150,000, as reported by The Calgary Herald.

These homeowners reportedly have been both guests and hosts using Airbnb in the past, without issue.

The popular website has 350,000 hosts and 15 million guests in 190 countries around the world.

While cases like this one are few and far between, they do happen, which is why homeowners looking into the short-term rental business need to do some homework first.

If you are considering renting out your condo unit while you’re on vacation or bunking with friends, check with your condo board whether short-term rentals are permitted. In many condos, they’re not.

Furthermore, if this kind of arrangement is allowed by the board, homeowners still need to ensure their home and property is protected in case of damage.

Airbnb has said it will cover the damage in this particular Calgary instance through its Host Guarantee, an insurance policy that covers up to $1 million in damage to an “eligible property.” But where the question of eligibility arises, this could be a costly mistake that your own home insurance policy might not cover.

52 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Steve Kee, spokesperson for the Insurance Bureau of Canada, has one simple piece of advice for homeowners considering cashing in this upcoming summer travel season – understand your home insurance policy.

“Your home insurance policy assumes that you are the resident of the home, with occasional guests,” Kee says. When you hand over your keys, you become a landlord to tenants, even if only for a few days.

“There’s a new risk profile that comes with tenants,” Kee says, which means your policy may not protect your home and its contents in case of damage that occurs while you have tenants staying there.

“You have a policy,” he says. “Read it. If you still don’t understand it, call your representative and ask.”

he east-end of Toronto was placed firmly in the spotlight at a VIP event for the launch of East United condos at King and Berkeley on May 14.

Customizable lifestyle installations, including a yoga performance and custom T-shirts printed for guests on site, intermingled with the debut of East United’s presentation centre and model suite.

“Every last detail in East United has been inspired by the east end. From the design, to the amenities, to the finishes and materials we’ve sourced from eastend suppliers,” says Sebastian Mizzi, vice-president of SigNature Communities, one of three developers partnering on the project along with Berkshire Axis and Andiel Homes.

“It was only fitting then, that we would call on our neighbours to help us launch this project.”

Food provided by Mary Marlowe Catering was sourced from the St. Lawrence Market, with bites from local Thai staple Mengrai’s thrown into the mix.

With units ranging from 350 to 1,400 sq. ft., a starting point of $199,900 and an average cost per sq. ft. in the mid-$500s, East United’s pricing reflects its investment potential.

IN SEARCH OF THE BEST BUILDER

Choosing the development and suite is important, but what about the team behind the condo?

By Lydia McNutt

T

here are so many advantages to buying a brand new home. Starting with the obvious, everything is new. There are no scratches on the floors, no dings in the walls, no funky smells, no signs of life before you. Buying new also means you get your home, your way – you choose the floor plan, finishes and features you’d like it to have. And if you’re lucky enough to be among the first buyers in a brand new development, you also get to choose the view!

In addition to all that, buying new gives you yet another distinct advantage over resale – you have the opportunity to hand-pick the builder.

Before you jump into your condo purchase, remember 62 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

that a little research goes a long way. Different home builders have different specialties. Some focus on sky-high homes, while others build more intimate midrise and townhome communities. Some condo builders have an eco-friendly agenda, while others are all about the ultra-luxury features.

Take note of what you’re looking for in your new home, and then do your research to find a builder who can deliver. continued on pg. 64

Once you have narrowed down your list, visit the builders’ models.

Go through each one in detail, taking note of what you like and what you don’t.

Read through each builder’s website and sales centre materials to get a clearer picture of the company and what they have to offer. If possible, request a tour of a work site to look at a condo that is currently under construction.

With so many builders out there, how do you choose the right one? Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. offers some tips: To start your search, find out which companies are building in your area, the types of homes they offer and the prices you can expect to pay. Ask friends, family members and co-workers for names of reputable builders they have dealt with. You can also check the Building Industry and Land Development Association and the Tarion websites.

When you meet with a builder, ask how long they have been in business, how many homes or condos they build each year, and what kind of background and experience they have.

Make sure the builder is licensed with the proper registrations required in Ontario. Ask for references, and contact them to find out if past buyers are satisfied with the homes they bought and the service they received.

Once you have narrowed down your list, visit the builders’ models. Go through each one in detail, taking note of what you like and what you don’t. Take your time, and if you feel you don’t know enough about construction, bring someone with you who does.

64 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

If you’re considering buying in a new development, go on a tour of the community or take a close look at the master plans. Ask yourself if this is the type of community where you could see yourself living or raising a family for years to come.

Always bring a notebook or a camera with you. Ask as many questions as you can think of, and take note of the answers to review later. After all, you’re choosing the place your family will call “home” for the next five, 10 or perhaps many more years.

A home is the biggest purchase you’ll make in your lifetime. It can be tempting to buy on a whim, but look before you leap. Some careful consideration on your part will help to ensure you make a wise move that will enhance your lifestyle for today, and make a great investment for tomorrow.

A neighbourhood rich with Joy Joy is located in the middle of an interesting mix of older homes and post war bungalows surrounded by a diverse selection of shopping, restaurants and entertainment venues including a public library nearby.

Next door, Agincourt Mall boasts a bakery, grocery store, florist and several banks. The colourful offerings at Pacific Mall and Dynasty Centre along with great finds at both Scarborough Town Centre and Kennedy Commons cater to a variety of desires and needs.

Condo owners even have the pleasure of living amidst outdoor splendor: Ron Watson Park with its five sports fields, Tam O’Shanter Golf Course and spacious cycling trails. It’s perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, both old and young, or families strolling along the open greenspaces.

Providing affordable mobility, Joy is just steps away from the TTC bus and the proposed new Sheppard Avenue East LRT/subway, and close to the Agincourt GO station and Kennedy TTC subway. Quick access to Hwys. 401,

ummer is coming! The warm weather is slowly setting in outside – it’s only natural to want to enjoy this sunny feeling indoors as well. With these design tips, you can to start to enjoy the great outdoors immediately!

Branch out » Florals are experiencing a huge revival, updated from the overly fussy patterns we associate with Granny’s curtains, to become contemporary, organic touches of natural beauty. In this dining room space, I used an elegant, leafy wallpaper to draw a connection to the outdoors, and then continued it into the kitchen to visually link the two rooms. For a similar effect try Graham & Brown’s “Claire” or “Harem Tulips” prints. Visit grahambrown.com 68 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

» Did you know that wallpaper can make a beautiful backsplash? By itself of course it’s a little impractical, but adding simple glass panels over top gives an easily cleaned surface while letting the paper shine through.

This way, you can use one favourite print throughout, or choose a special accent to create a unique backsplash feature.

Keep your options open » Sometimes the best way to introduce fresh, fun colour in a space is to start with none at all – keeping your fixed elements neutral gives you a flexible backdrop for ever-changing accents to suit your moods. You’ll see, however, that doesn’t mean I let these spaces be boring: introducing variety through patterns, textures, and different materials (such as a wood table and clear plastic chairs) gives even a neutral palette lots of depth and visual interest year round. » Once you have this beautiful neutral canvas, introduce colour through accessories. Live plants add a friendly infusion of green to liven up your dining table or countertop. Removing the doors from a standard cupboard creates an open shelving display for colourful dishes and glassware – just keep the doors stashed away for later. Add a few beautiful books or an oversized vase, and suddenly you’ve got a whole colour scheme you can switch up at any time.

as possible by hanging a simple sheer over top. By draping the full wall you help blur the line between the walls and windows, making the warm light the focus, and preserving the sight lines while also maintaining your privacy. Place the rod just below the ceiling and run the fabric to just above the ground, for a clean, contemporary effect.

Sing the blues » Blue and green (which is half blue) are both natural hues that we are used to seeing in the world in a tone-on-tone effect, so they make great near-neutrals and work especially well when combined in multiple shades. This makes it especially easy to slowly add an accessory collection over time (as you happen across different stores) without wondering about whether pieces will “match.” If you stick to the blues, you won’t have a worry in the world.

Blur the lines » I love pieces that can work indoors and out, such as the classic Bertoia dining chair (pictured above). The open metal frame makes a mid-century statement inside, but is totally practical outdoors, so it can be moved to wherever you want extra seating. Other pieces such as ceramic garden stools, stone-topped bistro tables, or clear plastic stackable chairs provide equal flexibility – consider investing in these even in the colder months and love them all year round. » Whether you have a wall full of windows around a patio door or a small sliver of glass, keep the view as open 72 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Q&A

Ikea recently partnered with Jillian Harris to showcase its new Sektion kitchen system – which provides endless possibilities for personalization to suit any space. We adore Jillian’s pretty and feminine-inspired cooking space, and we got a chance to ask her all about it!

IN THE KITCHEN WITH INTERIOR DESIGNER

Jillian Harris New Condo Guide: What is your favourite detail about this Ikea kitchen?

Jillian Harris: The drawers-insidedrawers that provide maximum storage! I love how they are removable and adjustable. This makes it easy to store your dishes in drawers so that no reaching or looking is necessary.

quick, easy and organized. Another secret of mine is keeping like items stored together. For example, I have a drawer that opens things and cuts food like knives, scissors, and bottle openers and a drawer that “stirs” with items like spatulas, spoons and whisks.

NCG: How can homeowners keep organized in the kitchen?

JH: I put a reminder in my calendar once every six months to look at everything in my cupboards and drawers to see what I’m using – and how often – and organize accordingly. I find ways to section my cupboards and drawers by using Tupperware containers or other storage containers.

Lots of labels are really important to me too, as they make everything

NCG: What’s the best meal you’ve ever eaten?

JH: I have eaten a ton of great meals, but I’d have to say Spaghetti Bolognese will always have a place in my heart as my favourite meal to eat!

74 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

NCG: How can homeowners add style to their cooking space without breaking the bank?

JH: Adding a touch of fresh herbs and plants you can cook with is a great way to get creative. Also, changing countertop pieces to inexpensive on-trend items such as unique cutting boards, vases and vintage trays.

NCG: If you could invite anyone famous (living or past) for dinner who would it be? What would be on the menu?

JH: It would probably be my great grandpa because I’ve heard from everyone in my family that he was such a great guy. I would make him some pork chops, sauerkraut and home-made pierogies. If I had to choose someone famous it would be Oprah, Taylor Swift and Martha Stewart.

MAKE YOUR MOVE

June 30th: The busiest moving day of the year

By John Bailey

T

he busiest moving day of the year is June 30, according to Two Men And A Truck Canada. This day is particularly popular for several reasons.

The school year is over by the end of June, and families with children usually want to wait to move rather than disrupt the kids’ routine. Of course, June 30 ushers in the Canada Day long weekend, which means an extra day to unpack and organize before going back to work.

Above all, even considering its unpredictability, weather makes June 30 an attractive moving date.

Let’s face it: cold and snow add challenges to any move. By the end of June, the full heat of summer hasn’t kicked in yet, and the chance of rain is slim.

Practically speaking in the financial sense, this date represents the midyear renewal deadline for property taxes and rental leases, which also plays a role in people’s timing.

Movers will be going all out to provide the necessary services to accommodate the mass move. It also means that each year, those who wait until the last minute to book moving trucks and/or movers for June 30 are disappointed when they find nothing available.

If you want to move on June 30, you may have to make several calls to make a booking, but every minute you wait lessens your chances.

If you intend to pack yourself, start that now, too.

Consider having your mover pack for you. Keep in mind that with time running short, professional movers can get your items ready to move quickly and efficiently. Getting your possessions to your new home in excellent condition is important to us as well as you. If you still decide to pack yourself, 76 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

you may want to purchase packing supplies from your mover. Our boxes are available in consistent sizes, which makes stacking them in the truck easier. And remember that it’s counter-productive to move items you will just throw out at the other end.

Take some time to sort and pitch.

A great way to be sure you are totally ready for your move is to use a checklist. You have many things to think of, such as notifying pertinent people and companies of your change of address. You may have to enroll kids in their new schools; make arrangements for pets, babies and toddlers to be looked after on moving day; schedule the shut-off of utilities and phone at your old address and start-up at your new place. You get the picture.

Visit twomenandatruck.ca/yourmoving-checklist-plan-your-move to find your moving-day checklist.

OUTDOOR trends

By Carson Arthur

W

hether you have a large backyard or a balcony built for two, outdoor living and renovating has become a trend in itself. With new stats coming out every day about the impact of outdoor renovations on home value, landscaping is quickly rising to the top of the to-do list. So, whether you are planning on renovating or just sitting outside and enjoying the sun, here are my top outdoor trends for 2015.

$219.

weber.com

1 Colourful barbecues. Building on its success of the condo-sized Q-1200 propane barbecue, Weber has launched a new line of the popular model with bright and colourful lids! Now you can have a grill that also adds a splash of colour to your balcony. These small-scale units use liquid propane cylinders versus the big tanks, making them portable and space saving. They’re functional and stylish at the same time!

$109.

Canadiantire.ca/ Canvas

2 Outdoor rugs… that look like grass! Canadian Tire’s new private label, Canvas, is coming into the market place with a rug that surprised me with its unique innovation.

Combining the look of turf with a classic baroque design, these carpets are not to be confused with the indoor models. Finally, we have a carpet that complements outdoor living.

3 Heirloom vegetables. The “grow-it-yourself” movement has firmly taken root in Canada! GIY has been my mantra for several years, and now homeowners are jumping on board with planters and gardens full of vintage veggies and herbs. This trend of growing food that you know is safe for your family has really resonated with the younger generation, with millennials starting seed saving companies and protesting anything GMO.

CONDO PROFILE

ONEELEVEN: Move up in 2016, without moving out of the neighbourhood you love

O

neeleven at Bathurst and Adelaide is a highdesign boutique building with so much going for it. Like dramatic penthouse-style suites with premium finishes that come standard, and massive terraces running as big as the suites they’re attached to.

So it’s no surprise this landmark 17-storey condominium is already over 75 per cent sold. With occupancy in the spring of 2016, the remaining suites are spacious and perfect for singles, couples and families looking to move up – without having to move away from vibrant King West.

Sleek and spacious In a building where suites are already larger than average, oneeleven’s two- and three-bedroom, oneand two-storey residences are truly expansive. Singlestorey two bedrooms run from 752 to 900 plus sq. ft.; three bedrooms from 892 to 1,342 sq. ft.; and two-level penthouse-style corner suites (available throughout the building) are 1,457 to 1,934 sq. ft., with 1,026- to 1,562-sq.ft. terraces.

“These modern, sophisticated residences appeal to King West locals who want to upgrade to something bigger and better,” says Chris Harhay of Harhay Developments. “People who purchased smaller units years ago in the King West node are ready to upgrade to a larger, more mature space in a higher quality building, that’s what oneeleven offers.”

86 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Luxury within reach When it comes to buying a condo, maintenance fees are always a significant issue. Buyers tend to avoid buildings with sky-high monthly price tags. That’s another reason oneeleven has been so popular with buyers; fees are at a very reasonable 48 cents per sq. ft.

“People who purchased smaller units years ago in the King West node are ready to upgrade to a larger, more mature space in a higher quality building, that’s what oneeleven offers.”

“We build with an eye to value and quality,” says Harhay. “A lower monthly fee is important to our customer base, while still offering residents a premium experience. And our buyers get the best amenity of all for free – the fantastic King West location, which gives them access to great restaurants, shopping and the incomparable vibe of one of the city’s most exciting neighbourhoods.”

Distinctive design Designed by CORE Architects, the building is clean, contemporary and completely urban, with sleek glass cubes perched randomly atop a base inspired by the area’s heritage warehouses.

The interior, by award-winning II BY IV Design Associates, features a sophisticated two-storey lobby with dramatic marble, gemstone and natural wood finishes, and appealing amenities spaces for relaxing and entertaining. Suites come standard with many premium finishes. Higher overall quality means buyers spend less on upgrades.

Oneeleven prices start in the mid$300’s, with suites ranging from 400 to over 1,900 sq. ft. For more information, visit oneeleven.ca or call 647.351.4111. Developed by Harhay Developments and Carttera Private Equities.

IN THE NEWS

Great condo value coming to Davenport Village

I

n the heart of Toronto within the master-planned community of Davenport Village, located at Dupont Street and Lansdowne Avenue, Fuse condominiums are now under construction for spring 2016 occupancies.

With suites priced starting at $239,900, the project represents one of today’s best values for a home in central Toronto. In fact, 70 per cent of the suites here are priced below $300,000.

Developed by Neudorfer Corp., Fuse will be a mixeduse development, rising from a century-old warehouse which has been retained, thoughtfully restored and integrated as the base for a 27-storey point tower and 23-storey building. The warehouse will eventually house a Shoppers Drug Mart and a Metro grocery store, providing convenience to area residents and adding to the overall urban experience of the Davenport Village community.

In both towers are one-bedroom, one-plus-bedroom and two-bedroom floor plans, all with flexible and flowing layouts which maximize space for everyday living, and balconies that become extensions of the residents’ personal living space.

Suites feature wide-plank laminate flooring in the living, dining and foyer areas, with ceramic flooring in the bathrooms and laundry areas. Kitchens feature granite countertops, designer-series cabinetry and generous cupboard space, subway tile backsplashes and a complete package of top-of-the-line appliances.

Neudorfer has incorporated 11,000 sq. ft. of amenities into the project, all designed to foster a socially engaged lifestyle and promote interaction amongst the residents.

Amenities include a large wellness gym with the latest fitness and cardio equipment as well as a yoga studio for relaxing and rejuvenation.

An activity room and events room both open onto a large outdoor terrace – the perfect spot for summer entertaining. There is even a theatre for movie nights, and a private lounge and library for quiet contemplation.

The location of the project at Dupont Street and Lansdowne Avenue means transit is at the doorstep, with easy links to TTC subway, GO Transit and the new UnionPearson (UP) Express train between Union Station and Pearson Airport.

Fuse is the latest addition to the 27.5-acre masterplanned community of Davenport Village, which

88 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Neudorfer has been building out for the last 15 years.

When completed there will be approximately 4,000 residential units in the community with close to 10,000 people calling Davenport Village “home.”

This truly is a new central neighbourhood in transition, surrounded and adjacent to established areas like The Junction, Corso Italia, Bloor Court and Bloordale, offering excellent shopping, pubs, restaurants, galleries, boutiques and independent furniture and clothing retailers all within walking distance. There are also parks, a children’s playground, and established schools in the area, and the entire community has an attractive and consistent look in architecture, adding to its appeal.

With more than 40 years’ experience as one of Toronto’s leading real estate developers, Neudorfer is a family-owned company with a long list of successful single- and multiple-family residential projects in the city, and has always focused on delivering quality homes at affordable prices.

To find out more about Fuse, visit fusecondos.com or visit the sales office at 1401 Dupont St. (accessed off Lansdowne Avenue, south of Dupont on the west side). Hours are Monday to Wednesday 1 to 6 p.m.; weekends from noon to 5 p.m.

Yorkdale Shopping Centre is a quick trip down the road whether by car or transit. The TTC stop is only steps away and Wilson station connecting to the subway is a short bus ride away. Drivers can access the Hwy. 401 within a minute, connecting to neighbouring Hwys. 400 and 404. With

this many attractions so close to home, owning a car is an option rather than a necessity for residents.

Marquette Urban Towns offers prices from as low as $299,900. The opportunity to live in a brand new, modern space with prices like these are attracting purchasers of all ages who appreciate the value of buying in a wonderful community.

The suites range from one- to three-bedrooms, many available with dens. All the units offer balconies, or rooftop terraces or patios, where you can entertain with ample space for barbecues. Great space outside is emulated by great space inside.

The layouts are open concept, designed to maximize living space and the lifestyle of today! Homes are beautifully appointed and feature nine-ft. smooth ceilings, upgraded flooring in the living and dining areas, hallways, den and kitchens, depending upon the floor plan. There are quartz countertops in the kitchens and bathrooms to reinforce the modern interior style, all continued on pg. 92

Canadian home sales up again in April

H

ome sales have sprung this spring across Canada, up 2.3 per cent in April compared to March. This marks the third consecutive month-over-month increase and raises national activity back to where it was during most of the second half of last year.

April sales were up from the previous month in two-thirds of all local markets, led by the GTA, the surrounding Golden Horseshoe region, and Montreal.

“As expected, low mortgage interest rates and the onset of spring ushered many homebuyers off the sidelines, particularly in regions where winter was long and bitter,” says Pauline Aunger, president of the Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA).

“In recent years, the seasonal pattern for home sales and listings has become amplified in places where listings are in short supply relative to demand,” adds Gregory Klump, CREA’s chief economist.

“This particularly stands out in and around Toronto.

Sellers there have increasingly delayed listing their home until spring. Once listed, it sells fairly quickly.

Sales over the year as a whole in Southern Ontario are likely being constrained to some degree by a short supply of single-family homes. However, the busy spring home-buying and selling season has become that much busier as a result of sellers waiting until winter has faded before listing.”

Actual (not seasonally adjusted) activity in April stood 10 per cent above levels reported in April 2014.

This marks just the third time ever that sales during the month of April topped 50,000 transactions.

Sales were up on a year-over-year basis in about 70 per cent of all local markets, led by activity in the Lower Mainland of British Columbia, Greater Toronto, and Montreal. Of the 18 local markets that set new records for the month of April, all but two are in Southern Ontario.

The number of newly listed homes was virtually unchanged (+0.1 per cent) in April compared to March. Below the surface, new supply rose in almost two thirds of all local markets, led by a big rebound in Halifax-Dartmouth following a sharp drop in March. This was offset by declines in Greater Vancouver, Victoria, and the Okanagan Region, as well as by a continuing pullback in new supply in Calgary. New listings in Calgary have dropped by one-third from their multi-year high at the end of last year to their current multi-year low.

The national sales-to-new listings ratio was 55.3 per cent in April, up from 50.4 per cent three months earlier as the ratio has steadily risen along with sales so far this year.

A sales-to-new listings ratio between 40 and 60 per cent is generally consistent with balanced housing market conditions, with readings above and below this range indicating sellers’ and buyers’ markets respectively. The ratio was within this range in the majority of local housing markets in April.

The number of months of inventory is another important measure of the balance between housing supply and demand. It represents the number of months it would take to completely liquidate current inventories at the current rate of sales activity.

There were 5.9 months of inventory on a national basis at the end of April 2015, down from 6.1 months in March and 6.5 months at the end of January when it reached the highest level in nearly two years. While the sales-to-new listings ratio and months of inventory measures of market balance indicate that the housing market has tightened on a national basis over the past few months, both measures remain firmly entrenched in balanced market territory.

The Aggregate Composite MLS HPI rose by 4.97 per cent on a year-overyear basis in April, on par with the 4.95 per cent year-over-year gain recorded in March.

Year-over-year price growth accelerated in April for apartment units and two-storey single-family homes, while decelerating for townhouse/row units and one-storey single-family homes.

Single-family home sales continue to post the biggest year-over-year price gains (+5.84 per cent), led by two-storey single-family homes (+6.89 per cent).

By comparison, the rise in selling prices was more modest for one-storey single family homes (+4.20 per cent), townhouse/row units (+3.87 per cent), and apartment units (+2.60 per cent).

Price gains varied among housing markets tracked by the index. For the third consecutive month, Greater Vancouver (+8.50 per cent) and Greater Toronto (+8.43 per cent) posted the biggest year-over-year price increases. By comparison, Fraser Valley, Victoria, and Vancouver Island recorded gains in the range between 2.7 per cent and four per cent.

Price growth in Calgary continued to slow, with a year-over-year increase of just 2.21 per cent in April, the smallest gain in three years and the 10th consecutive month for which the gain diminished.

Prices remained stable on a year-over-year basis in Saskatoon and Ottawa, while rising slightly in Greater Montreal, dipping slightly in Greater Moncton, and falling in Regina.

The MLS Home Price Index (MLS HPI) provides a better gauge of price trends than is possible using averages because it is not affected by changes in the mix of sales activity the way that average price is.

E

stee Stanley is one of LA’s pre-eminent style consultants. She gives advice to starlets such as Ashley Olsen and Jessica Biel. She’s worked so closely with Justin Timberlake that she calls him “the brother I never had.”

Far from focusing on fads, Stanley favours a classic, faded look. It’s a unique aesthetic that dances between subtlety and sophistication. continued on pg. 100

Far from being ostentatious or outrageously expensive, Stanley’s style is practical as well as chic.

“I never want my clients to spend money on something they’re not going to love in 10 years, she says. I want everything to be sexy and comfortable.”

I was lucky enough to meet Stanley and tour her house in Hancock Park, a historic neighbourhood in central Los Angeles. When describing her neighbourhood of choice, she is brutally honest.

“I wanted to live in Hancock Park, and a $3-million house was not in my budget. I’m also not one for smallspace living,” she says.

As luck would have it, she came across a rental property at the edge of the neighbourhood, and jumped at the opportunity. With this 4,500-sq.-ft. rental duplex, Stanley is on a long-term mission to remake the property in her own style.

KING BLUE TO TAKE THE STAGE in Toronto’s Entertainment District

A

new star is coming to Toronto’s Entertainment and Financial District, heralded by the May 8 ground breaking of Shanghai-based Greenland Group’s first project in Canada. Plans for the historic Westinghouse site include a 122-key luxury boutique hotel, 44- and 48-storey residential highrise towers, the revitalization of the highest heritage facade ever retained in Canada, and the first theatre museum in the country.

Marking skylines with ultra highrise developments and communities that enhance quality of life, the global Fortune 500 conglomerate is building four of the top 10 tallest buildings in the world, with 23 ultrahighrise buildings currently built or in construction in its international portfolio.

Greenland Group (Canada) president Henry Cao says, “2015 is an exciting and busy year for Greenland, and we are pleased that this is the time we have chosen to break ground on our first project in Canada.”

104 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

Recognizing Canada’s potential as a growing, highly stable market, King Blue by Greenland is the group’s first project in its strategic Canadian expansion.

“Canada has proven to be a strong real estate market for many years now, and we envision a future here that allows us to contribute to this economic prosperity,” says Cao. “Not only are we pleased to launch real estate projects in Canada, but also to create jobs such as the opening of a new downtown hotel. Canada has been very welcoming and we are pleased to bring our expertise to this market.” continued on pg. 105

CONDO PROFILE continued

Committed to fostering Canadian culture, plans for the site include the creation of a new 10,000-sq.-ft. permanent home for Theatre Museum Canada, its mission to share and preserve Canada’s rich theatre legacy. The museum aims to become a new centerpiece for Toronto’s Theatre District a short block from the TIFF Bell Lightbox.

Veteran producer and chair of Theatre Museum Canada, Marlene Smith, says, “We’re incredibly excited about Greenland’s plans for the project and their support of our industry. Canada has always had an abundant theatre culture, and our new home in the heart of the district is something we’re very proud to see happen in the city of Toronto.”

To support the tourism economy, the project will include the first Primus hotel in Canada, featuring 122 rooms with numerous oversized luxury suites and on-site conference facilities, and a rooftop terrace with pool and lounge. The seven-storey luxury hotel will be fully owned and operated by Greenland Group (Canada).

B+H Architects’ internationally recognized hospitality design team, CHIL by B+H, will execute designs for the hotel. Led by principal Patrick Fejér, whose experience includes some of the world’s top hotels including the Four Seasons Hotel Gresham Palace in Budapest, luxury interiors will feature a progressive approach to design for the King West corridor focused on a one-of-a kind guest experience.

Soaring towers feature architecture and interiors from renowned Toronto-based teams IBI Group Architects / Page + Steele, B+ H Architects and Munge Leung, infusing luxury amenities and public spaces focused on community gathering and vertical living. Designed to maximize entertainment space, modern units include studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom designs from 300 to 1,400 sq. ft., all featuring views of the skyline and lake.

Alessandro Munge, principal at Munge Leung, says, “With frontage on the city’s most dynamic street in the Entertainment District, King Blue is designed as a social

hub – a community within a community.

Taking cues from hospitality design, we have created multiple gathering and amenity spaces designed from the user perspective, taking into consideration how people actually entertain and effectively extending one’s living space from their independent unit across the entire building site.

“Our experience working with multiple developers in Asia has exposed us to their high standards of residential construction, and we are very excited about Greenland’s plans for expansion in Canada. Projects like King Blue contribute to elevating the standard of development in Toronto and we are proud to be a part of it.”

Mansoor Kazerouni, director at Page + Steele / IBI Group and design partner for the project, says, “King Blue is an exciting mixed-use development that embodies the vibrancy, energy and eclectic character of the Entertainment District by combining historic and contemporary elements in a synergistic manner. Far more than just a condominium project, King Blue will become an important addition to Toronto – an exciting address at which to live, in a very vibrant part of the city.

Sales of King Blue by Greenland have been very positive since the October launch, with occupancy slated for 2018. The project will bring 910 new residential units ranging from $299,000 to $1 million to the highly desirable and internationally recognized downtown address.

IN THE NEWS

Hamilton identified as an “anchor city,” poised for growth

By Lydia McNutt

H

ammer Town is hitting the nail right on the head when it comes to future growth. In its recent report, Colliers International has named Hamilton a new “anchor city” for its advancements in industries like healthcare, education, research and development - and when compared to its big-city counterparts, it scores high on the affordability scale.

“With rising costs and infrastructure strains such as longer commute times associated with 114 NEW CONDO GUIDE MAY 23 - JUN 6, 2015

locating in large metropolitan areas, companies have the opportunity to locate in medium-sized cities like Hamilton, which have key attributes that make it very attractive,” says Sydney Hamber, senior vice-president at Colliers. And where employment opportunities go, housing and people follow.

Colliers looked at five key location attributes that corporations consider to attract the best employees and improve their bottom line - skilled labour, redevelopment opportunities, commute times, lifestyle, and the area’s affordability.

Competitive rents, overall residential affordability, commercial taxes and development charges are all cost-related factors that are important for mid-sized anchor cities in attracting businesses, Colliers notes.

“Framed within these five attributes, Hamilton is further affirming itself as an opportune medium-sized anchor city,” Hamber says.

“With new developments throughout the City, particularly in the downtown core, and a new operational GO station this summer, Hamilton is an ideal location for companies looking to expand or relocate. Hamilton is affordable not only in terms of overall operating cost, but also affordability for their employees in the residential market,” says Jason Thorne, general manager of Planning and Economic Development at the City of Hamilton.

The report also indicates commute times, transportation availability, and amenities as key drivers to attract businesses and a desirable labour force.

“A liveable city is more than just having a home and a backyard in great communities, people are now fully engaging with their community,” Hamber adds. “Today, it’s about having things to do and experience, places to do them and a decent climate in which to do them.”
