In a real estate market like Toronto’s, the term “get it in writing” has never been more important. In the case of a new condo purchase, your Agreement of Purchase and Sale is a contract that spells out the terms between you and your developer and/or builder. Without it, if there is a misunderstanding or disagreement, it’s impossible to prove what was agreed upon. Since buying a new condo is more complicated than a resale transaction where a home and/or property likely already exists, there is no set Agreement of Purchase and Sale or standard contract for buying a new home. In some provinces, builders may have standard contracts prepared by the local home builders’ association or their new-home warranty program. Builders often prepare their own agreements, which can vary from one company to another and from province to province. Before you sign a contract, review it carefully with the builder and ask questions to make sure you fully understand it. Your next step is to take it to a real estate lawyer and have it reviewed. Once it is signed it becomes a legal document, so seeking the services of an experienced lawyer is an important step toward ensuring that your condo purchase goes smoothly.
OH, THE POSSIBILITIES!

002 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
Fall is a busy time of year on the condo scene, with new project launches and grand openings galore. If you’re in the market for a new condo, now’s the time to hit the streets, explore different neighbourhoods, and discover what sets one condo apart from the rest. Visit as many presentation centres and model suites as you can. You’ll find each one is more impressive than the last, and for good reason. In a sea of condos, this is the builder’s chance to make a good first impression – and hopefully, a sale. Today’s model suites are definitely dressed to impress. From the trendiest colour palettes and furnishings, to smart technology and efficient layouts, there’s a surprise awaiting you at every turn. If you love aspects of a certain suite design but aren’t entirely sold, you’re in luck! A benefit of buying new is, your home hasn’t been built yet. You don’t have to settle for a cookie-cutter design. You get to choose the features, finishes, upgrades and options that make the condo truly yours, and truly “home.” When visiting the presentation centres and touring model suites this fall, talk to the builders about bringing your own dream home to life. In a brand new condo, anything is possible.

“We try to provide a sustainable development, recognizing buyers are attuned to living in spaces that are good for the environment and provide benefits for the community” 010 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
// BY BRYAN TUCKEY
A GREAT EXAMPLE OF BUILDING FOR FUTURE Markham. The 10-acre, mixed-use project by Liberty Development Corporation is comprised of more than 1,200 condo units in four residential towers, retail shops, office space, a hotel, a landscaped courtyard and two acres of sustainable Green rooftop space. This community was named BILD’s Places to Grow Community of the Year in the highrise category in 2011. Liberty has aspired to create a walkable, liveable community where residents can have a lot of their needs tended to by the surrounding buildings on the site plus have quick access to public transit, highways and golf courses. “Your friends come from out of town, they can stay at the hotel. If they need to shop, they can go to the mall. You want to work steps from home, you work at the office building. If you want to have a business meeting, you can grab a coffee and sit on a park bench for five minutes,” says Marco Filice, senior vice-president and general counsel at Liberty. “World on Yonge is a true mixed-use community in compliance with [provincial growth plan] Places to Grow 20 years ahead of schedule.” Out of the site’s 1.6 million sq. ft. of space, about 600,000 is nonresidential. Filice says the site will achieve more than 1,000 people and jobs per hectare – nearly five times the provincial targets. Perhaps the most impressive characteristic of World on Yonge is the Green roof on the three-level retail mall called Shops on Yonge. It is a 1.5-acre greenspace that helps reduce the heat-island effect of the surrounding buildings and plays a big role in collecting rainwater into a 60,000-gallon cistern on the site. This reservoir reuses the water for grass, plants and public toilets, and saves public infrastructure cost. Filice adds that today’s new-home buyers are impressed with Liberty’s Green initiatives. “We try to provide a sustainable development, recognizing buyers are attuned to living in spaces that are good for the environment and provide benefits for the community,” he says. “There’s also two acres of new public parkland on site. Over 40 per cent of the site is either parkland or green roof technology. “We want to set a proper path for our children so that we have the proper resources in place for the next generation. Maybe this project will inspire others to do similar things. It’s an example of what’s to come for a city that’s growing up.” Filice says World on Yonge would not be a reality without the support of the City of Markham and Region of York. The 10-storey Liberty Suites Hotel will open this summer. The last of the residential condos, Parkside Towers, will begin occupancy this fall. Occupancy is already completed for the site’s two 31-storey towers, the tallest in York Region. This development is truly a remarkable example of a complete community where you can live, work, play and shop.

average of $2.37 per sq. ft. in the GTA. It was the second straight quarter that rents grew by less than one per cent, following an average rate of four per cent in 2013. “A surge of new supply from recently registered buildings kept rents in check during the quarter. Although listings are expected to remain strong as more units complete construction, rental demand shows no signs of abating, which should keep rents steady,” says Shaun Hildebrand, Urbanation’s senior vice-president. The average unit size rented fell to a record low of 755 sq. ft., down by 3.8 per cent, or 30 sq. ft., from Q2-2013. This led to a nearly equivalent decline in average monthly rent levels to $1,787 (-3.2 per cent year over year). Declining unit sizes have pushed monthly rents down over the past three quarters. Of the 5,973 units registered during the quarter, 18 per cent were rented through the MLS system.

83% of condo owners in Toronto and Vancouver call their suites
“HOME SWEET HOME” Toronto and Vancouver households that were surveyed had no mortgage on their last purchased condominium unit.
The survey revealed that the majority of condo owners actually live in their property versus owning it for investment purposes ABOUT THE SURVEY: AS YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED, CONDOMINIUMS ARE PLAYING AN INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT ROLE IN CANADA’S HOUSING LANDSCAPE.
As land in urban areas becomes more of a rarity, developers and homebuyers are looking to the sky for a place to call “home.” But, have you considered how many of the condo owners in your building actually live in their units, versus rent them out to tenants? If you’re in the market for a condominium, it’s an important factor to consider but one that is often overlooked. Answering this question in Canada’s two largest condominium markets, Toronto and Vancouver, Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) recently released its 2013 Condominium Owners Survey, revealing that the majority of condo owners surveyed actually live in their property versus owning it for investment purposes, at 82.9 per cent versus 17.1 per cent, respectively. The survey found that about half of the surveyed condominium investors in Toronto and Vancouver are renting out their last purchased unit. CMHC’s survey also found that of the surveyed condominium investors in Toronto and Vancouver: » 58.4 per cent of investment condo owners expect to keep their last purchased unit for more than five years; » 17.9 per cent for two to five years; » 7.6 per cent for less than two years; » 16.1 per cent did not know or answer; » 11.9 per cent of investment condo owners surveyed said they bought their last secondary condominium unit with the intention of reselling it for a profit within a year of purchase. Another interesting tidbit about condo owners who bought for investment purposes: At the time of the survey, 42.1 per cent of the 016 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
A total of 42,426 households, which owned their primary residence in the Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) of Toronto and Vancouver, were surveyed in August and September of 2013. A subset of these condominium owners who own a secondary condominium unit are defined as condominium investors. Their primary dwelling can be either a condominium or a freehold unit. The 2013 Condominium Owners Survey gathered data to report on the extent of the activity of this subset of domestic condominium investor households in these two CMAs. This definition excludes households that own only one condominium unit in which they reside, as well as households that own a secondary unit but rent their primary unit. The survey did not cover Canadian households that own condominium units in Toronto or Vancouver but do not reside in these CMAs. Foreign investors, and corporate investors are also not covered by the survey.

COVER STORY Shanghai and Chicago, Monde is designed to reflect its exceptional location and the spirit of the people who choose to call it “home.” Kudos to Moshe Safdie of Safdie Architects for his architectural genius, Quadrangle Architects for its brilliant collaboration on the exterior, Janet Rosenberg of Janet Rosenberg & Studio for the landscape design, integral to Monde’s identity, and Anna Simone and Elaine Cecconi of Cecconi Simone Inc. for their artistic vision for the interiors. “Today’s customer is sophisticated, worldly and more demanding in terms of design and design aesthetic. Part of our success is offering consumers living spaces that are designed to a much higher standard in beautiful buildings by award-winning architects,” says Christopher Wein, president, Great Gulf Residential. Moshe Safdie brings a world vision to the architecture, having designed critically acclaimed buildings across the globe including residences, cultural venues, art galleries, libraries, museums, government offices and more. His sensibility for designing the invitingly unexpected is evidenced in one of his firm’s current projects, the Bishan Residential Development in Singapore, where two condominium towers are linked at the top by a large swimming pool “bridge.” At Monde, Safdie ventured beyond the typical condominium formula to create a tower of clear glass and white glass that form a sculptural reflective pattern from MONDE – WHAT A PERFECT NAME FOR GREAT GULF’S NEW CONDOMINIUM IN bottom to top. Each suite features TORONTO’S BURGEONING EAST BAYFRONT AREA!

In true Great Gulf style, this building the lake, and then when you come injects new vitality to the area with an iconic silhouette on the city’s skyline. down to the street, you feel that you’re in the city.” Reminiscent of unique place-makers in major cities such as Dubai,

or new condominium suite purchasers, colour selection day is one of the most exciting steps in their journey to move-in day. If you are looking forward to choosing the features and finishes for your new condo, approach your appointment with an open mind. This is your opportunity to truly make your surroundings your own, and many buyers can accomplish that with standard features. Today’s appointments are amazing by North American standards. The features and finishes that come with our condo suites in the Greater Toronto Area are far and beyond what builders offer south of the border. Buying new also brings with it the chance to upgrade the items and finishes that will make your home even more 026 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
beautiful, comfortable, and potentially worth more in resale value if and when you decide to sell. One example is hardwood flooring. Your condo may come with that as a standard, but often it is an upgrade. For yourself and any future buyers who may suffer from allergies, wood flooring is a top choice. It is easy to clean, and your choices of colours and textures will be phenomenal. Remember that in an open-concept living/dining room, the addition of area rugs on top of wood flooring is beautiful and helps to delineate space. Hardwood may well be worth the extra financial outlay at the beginning. If you consider advice from the experts, they will tell you to keep kitchens and bathrooms in mind when choosing upgrades. Time and again, these items have yielded the biggest return on investment in the long run. If your budget is limited, yet you want to include some upgrades, look carefully at what is offered in the kitchen and bath(s). You will be amazed at the kitchen options, which may range from paneled appliances that give them a furniture look in an open-concept space, cabinetry with glass fronts for displaying distinctive dishware or glassware, quiet self-closing drawers, tall upper cabinets, extended islands, cornice mouldings and even wine fridges. When it comes to bathrooms, think spa-inspired upgrades such as marble flooring, fabulous rainwater showerheads, soaker tubs and anything that shouts “pampering!” As for the rest of the suite, higher baseboards, built-in shelving, the list of possibilities is long and tempting. Another category of upgrades that makes a difference today is Green. Saving on energy and helping to sustain the planet are popular goals with environmentally conscious buyers. Upgrades such as natural stone countertops are both gorgeous and environmentally friendly. Of course, your selections depend on your budget, and as I said, you may be able to create your perfect surroundings with standard options. As someone who has travelled extensively with Baker Real Estate, I can tell you that GTA builders offer amazing choices relative to the rest of the world. If your condo suite is a stepping stone to a larger home someday, be careful with colour schemes. Neutral is the way to go, and you can always inject colour and character into the rooms with furnishings, rugs and accessories. Whatever you decide, make your choices wise ones. Do some research before your selection appointment to find out what’s new and innovative in the way of finishes. I also urge you to pay attention to what the design consultants advise. These professionals are experienced in working with condo spaces. They know their builder’s designs and how to choose combination palettes and finishes that match your personality and work well with the layout. Remember that when you go to sell someday, all things being equal between two suites, buyers will typically choose the one with better finishes.

hen the weather is less than ideal and you live in a condo with your dog, I’m sure you’ve often found yourself with a wet and muddy pooch that will dirty the elevator, the entrance to your condo and your bathroom as you try to wash the dirt and grime away. Thankfully these days may be behind you as condo developers find new ways to appeal to urban dwellers by creating spaces that are pet-friendly. For example, at Fabrik currently under construction at Richmond
In addition to pet spas, developers are adding new and innovative petfriendly amenities within new buildings and in outdoor condominium spaces as well 032 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
and Spadina, a pet spa is part of the amenity plan, so washing your dog as soon as you come in from a muddy day outside will eliminate the soiling of elevators, corridors and your bathroom. In addition to pet spas, developers are adding new and innovative pet-friendly amenities within new buildings and in outdoor condominium spaces as well. Pet-friendly turf that won’t be destroyed if your pet relieves himself on it, stoop and scoop stations that use compostable bags to collect waste, pet fountains and cooling pools, caged dog runs and toy bins are all ideas that are currently being considered or have already been implemented by developers across the GTA. It doesn’t just end with building amenities. Many condominiums are built with retail spaces at the ground level and these are quickly being leased to businesses that specialize in pet care such as veterinarians, doggy day cares and pet supply stores. In fact, leasing companies are specifically marketing to these businesses, as they know they’ll be successful in these spaces. Condominium communities also use area amenities to cater to pet owners. Many marketing materials list off-leash dog parks and show furry friends playing together in parks, being walked on trails, or spending time in urban environments with their human companions. Need more proof that it’s a dog’s life? Just check out the bulletin board in your condominium and there is no shortage of people offering dog walking, dog sitting and boarding, in-house dog grooming and animal behaviour classes. If your best friend has four legs and barks, chances are Toronto’s condominiums are a welcoming place for you to call “home.”

034 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
comments made online is that this person should not be trusted, that you shouldn’t take advice from someone who makes money in the real estate business. By this same logic, why does a dentist tell you to floss? Wouldn’t he make more money if you don’t? It must be difficult to trust anyone if you think everyone is out to swindle you; that everyone will lie, manipulate or bend the truth to separate you from your money. I choose to believe that people’s judgments are not solely based on their own financial gain. I too have been accused of being biased, my opinions on the market fluffed off as an attempt to persuade buyers into an uncertain condo marketplace. People who know me well, know that I’d much rather be right than rich! My commentary is my opinion. I don’t want people to have the satisfaction of waiving my incorrect predictions in my face. If you want to know what’s happening in the condo market, go to the experts – those who study the market every day. Go to the folks who pour over the Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) data daily when looking for condo suites for their clients. Go to people in the business who are having the conversations with buyers, mortgage brokers, construction lenders, other sales agents, developers and insurers. It’s great to see people interested in real estate economics and the condo market data in specific locations, but better to go to someone with the experience, as opposed to that neighbour of yours who blogs about it on weekends, or that guy from Owen Sound who Tweets about the Toronto market. A person who shoots 200 free throws a day is going to be much better at it than the person who shoots 15 on the weekends. The thing people need to understand is that there are opportunities to buy real estate when the market is booming, and there are opportunities when the market is flat. A good realtor can help you find the perfect place to live, or help identify an undervalued property for investment purposes in both instances. The reason that realtors and I have been positive about the market, is that the data indicates that the GTA market is performing well. The Statistics Canada New Home Price Index in April 2014 is up 31 per cent in 10 years. The median price of a resale condominium as tracked by TREB as of May 2014 is up 59 per cent during that same time frame. Urbanation Inc. has indicated that the average price on a per-sq.-ft. basis for new condominiums in Q1-2014 is up 82 per cent over Q1-2005, and the average absorbed new single-detached home has increased by 89 per cent over the past decade, according to May 2014 data published by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. I hope that you don’t decide if the Toronto condo market is up or down by who said it. Attack the message, not the messenger. Educate yourself on what is happening in the market, and in the neighbourhood you want to live, in addition to leaning on the experts. With that combined knowledge, you’ll never be swindled or taken advantage of.

THE DANIELS CORPORATION HELPS CREATE A UNIQUE PROGRAM PROMOTING ARTISTIC EXPRESSION Singer-songwriter Lorraine Segato is Regent Park’s first Artist in Residence CANADIAN SINGER-SONGWRITER
and social justice activist Lorraine Segato has been named Regent Park’s honorary Artist in Residence as part of the community’s new cultural program – an initiative designed to foster artistic expression across the city. Segato, co-founder and lead singer of iconic poly-rhythmic ’80s pop band, The Parachute Club, will serve a two-year term in the honorary position. Her mandate involves helping to envision and create a template for a future Artist in Residence program to augment and enhance Regent Park’s already vibrant arts and culture scene with an active pool of creative talent. “I am thrilled to be asked by The Daniels Corporation to become a member of the Regent Park community as the honorary Artist in Residence,” says Segato. “I come to this appointment with a deep willingness to listen, and a great enthusiasm for a community that is brimming with creative talent and rich stories. My desire to forge respectful partnerships will no doubt yield interesting collaborations that also strengthen my own practice as an artist.” Segato is tasked with finding ways to enrich, celebrate and draw attention to the developing area, while curating cultural activities and events that further the envisioning of an international caliber artist residency program. 038 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
“As a first initiative, we’ve created an Artist in Residence Legacy Fund that will contribute to the continuation of this project across Regent Park and the City of Toronto for years to come. My first contribution to the Legacy Fund will be the donation of proceeds from the new mastered gospel arrangement of The Parachute Club’s Juno award-winning hit ‘Rise Up’, that we are calling ‘Rize Time’, which features a prelude by 18-year-old Regent Park spoken-word artist and rising star Mustafa The Poet,” Segato adds.
Embracing the arts has been a major part of Daniels’ corporate philosophy dating back more than 25 years “Supporting the arts is very much a part of our corporate culture and DNA,” says Heela Omarkhail, The Daniels Corporation’s manager of community partnerships. “We’re delighted to begin this journey with Lorraine Segato, a multi-disciplinary artist with deep roots in the city of Toronto and with her own long history of collaboration, activism and creativity.” The Daniels Corporation, the private-sector developer behind Regent Park’s revitalization, is sponsoring this initiative. Embracing the arts has been a major part of Daniels’ corporate philosophy dating back more than 25 years, when the company invited street artists to help create a graffiti board at a former Goodyear Tire site at its Lakeshore Village community in Etobicoke. Since then, Daniels has incorporated artistic elements and programs into many of its projects, from featuring rotating art exhibitions at its various sales offices, to designing and building a piano-themed walkway in honour of legendary Canadian musician Oscar Peterson at its FirstHome community in Mississauga. The Regent Park Artist in Residence program represents an unprecedented expansion of that commitment to arts and culture, and Daniels is delighted to help build the framework for this program that can be transferred to their other new home communities across the GTA. In addition to the Artist in Residence program, Daniels has launched other arts and community projects in Regent Park, including contributing to the design and construction of Daniels Spectrum – a 60,000-sq.-ft. cultural hub, and developing a local arts procurement program, as well as partnering with the Regent Park Women and Families Quilting Group, which was commissioned to sew two one-of-a-kind quilts that have already become an integral part of the Regent Park social fabric.

Behind-the-scenes sneak peek offered a rare opportunity at
DANIELS EVERMORE IN BRAMPTON RECENTLY, THE DANIELS CORPORATION OPENED THE
doors to some of the residences under construction at the popular Daniels Evermore ravine community in Brampton’s Castlemore area. Homeowners and prospective purchasers were excited to get a behindthe-scenes look at the exceptional condominium townhomes that begin in price from just the low $400,000s. Guided by members of Daniels’ construction team, they experienced in person the built-in quality and design excellence for which Daniels is so well known. Here’s the great news – if you missed the construction tours, it’s not too late. The event was so successful that the company has decided to continue offering appointments. Book your own personal hardhat tour and take the opportunity to walk through the homes, which are framed and insulated, and see behind the bricks and mortar to truly understand what sets Daniels apart in the industry. In addition, you’ll be able to ask questions of the people who are actually building the homes – a rare opportunity in the GTA. “We were thrilled at the turnout for this special event,” says Daniels’ vice-president Don Pugh. “The townhome construction tour really helped visitors envision the livability of our designs in this convenient setting at the southeast corner of Castlemore Road and McVean Drive, close to an array of amenities for growing families.” 040 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
Choices at Daniels Evermore include the three-bedroom condominium townhomes, plus freehold three-, four- and fivebedroom detached homes, and freehold three- and four-bedroom semi-detached designs. The singledetached homes back onto protected valley land and offer ravine walkouts. In addition to luxurious standard features and finishes, the two-storey townhomes, semi-detached and detached homes come complete with a finished basement and finished three-piece bath. Residences range in size from 1,632 to 3,228 sq. ft. and start from the low $400,000s. For a limited time, townhomes come with five free appliances, and for those who select a semi-detached or single-detached home, Daniels is currently offering $10,000 in free upgrades (see a sales representative for full details). Visit the Daniels Evermore presentation centre located at 4107 Castlemore Rd., between McVean Drive and The Gore Road.

MORE TREES, PLEASE.
Six in 10 Canadians want more trees planted in community green spaces, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation invites Canadians to help plant 50,000 trees as part of TD Tree Days
THERE’S NO QUESTION CANADIANS VALUE TREES. According to recent research from TD Friends of the Environment Foundation, 96 per cent of Canadians feel that it is important to plant trees today in order to sustain a healthy environment and improve the quality of life of future generations, and the majority want more trees planted in their communities. And, while only two in 10 Canadians currently donate their time once a year to plant trees or participate in greening projects, two-thirds say they would be likely to volunteer a few hours if they felt it would benefit their community for years to come. That’s where TD Tree Days comes in. Now in its fifth year, TD Tree Days is a grassroots community tree-planting program, where a small investment of time pays off in life-long environmental returns. As the TD flagship volunteer program, TD Tree Days provides TD employees and their families, customers and community partners the opportunity to demonstrate 044 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
leadership in environmental stewardship in their local communities. This year, throughout September and October, volunteers will plant 50,000 trees at more than 140 events from coast to coast. “There’s no question that Canadians want to see more trees in their neighbourhoods, and the good news is that it’s easy to make that happen,” says Mary Desjardins, executive director, TD Friends of the Environment Foundation. “TD Tree Days is a fun, social way to green a neighbourhood. All it takes is a couple of hours on one day to plant some trees with friends and neighbours, and the community and environmental benefits are instantaneous and long-lasting.” An overwhelming majority of Canadians (95 per cent) agree that planting trees is a great way for people to get involved in enhancing the environment in their communities, and 65 per cent also believe that local volunteers should play a role in helping to maintain local green spaces. “It’s important to me that I
contribute to making my community more livable, and planting trees as part of TD Tree Days is such an easy way to make a difference,” Joseph Kurian, veteran TD Tree Days volunteer. “Not only am I helping to make the future a little greener, but it’s a lot of fun and I’ve had the opportunity to meet some great people.” Each TD Tree Days planting event is led by a local TD employee volunteer site leader and is supported by a team of volunteer planting coordinators. More than 50 organizations, including conservation authorities, municipalities and Aboriginal communities support TD Tree Days with technical expertise to ensure that the right trees are properly planted in the right place. In the last four years, thousands of TD Tree Days volunteers – from Brownies to bankers – have planted over 135,000 trees through TD Tree Days.

Which ones give you the best bang for your buck?
e are living in a world where customization and individuality is sought in almost every consumer product in the world. From cellphone covers to running shoes to vehicle options, there is an abundance of choice. New homes are no different, and builders have long realized that giving buyers the ability to make upgrades is essential. Entering into a firm offer to purchase a new condominium is only half of the work. The most exciting part of a new-home purchase for a buyer is going to the design centre and choosing colour schemes, finishes and upgrades. And, to make things easier, an interior designer pre-selects all floor, tile and wall finishes/colours, grouping them into three or four beautifully coordinated packages. However, there are rules and bylaws for condominiums that prohibit certain unit upgrades and renovations after you move in, and you will require the approval of your condo board to proceed. It is therefore recommended that upgrades be done through the builder to save time and avoid potential issues such as warranty concerns.
For instance, if you move in and then decide to replace the tiles in your bathtub or shower using your own contractor, and over time there is water leakage caused by this work, the builder and Tarion may not cover the damage. Keeping the warranty in place for all components of your condo is a major advantage of upgrading through the builder. The question then becomes: which upgrades make the most sense for your real estate investment? Whether you decide to inhabit the unit, rent it out, or flip it on a quick sale, upgrades may protect the value of your investment and increase its saleability in the future. APPLIANCES Stainless steel appliances are the most
common upgrade. These can make your unit more attractive, and a quicker sell among your competitors within the same building. They are durable, rust-proof, non-porous, easier to maintain and aesthetically pleasing. FLOOR PLAN MODIFICATIONS New condo units are less likely than new houses to permit interior layout changes. However, minor floor plan modifications to a condo unit always prove to be beneficial in the long run. For example, adding a door to enclose a den enables the space to become a guest suite, nursery or private office. FLOOR FINISHES Buyers always question why there is
space of your unit. Hard floors are more hygienic and significantly increase the resale value of the home. It is best to have the builder perform this upgrade. If you do it yourself, you may have a difficult time matching the type and colour of flooring. KITCHEN FIXTURES AND HARDWARE The most sensible upgrades to a kitchen are material finishes and cabinetry extensions. It is certainly a plus if your unit has more cabinet space than a competitive unit. Builders also offer kitchen island upgrades that add functionality and storage space. Some other notable upgrades to the kitchen are: undermount sinks, backsplashes, stone counters like Corian, granite or quartz, and drawer and cupboard dampeners.

Whether you decide to inhabit the unit, rent it out, or flip it on a quick sale, upgrades may protect the value of your investment and increase its saleability in the future
ELECTRICAL Some people prefer extra electrical outlets on a large patio of a condo for light fixtures. Also, smart panels that allow all incoming telephone and cable services to be tied together before flowing throughout the space are an excellent and inexpensive option.
the bedroom is a great upgrade. For other rooms, the most unobtrusive method for lighting is pot lights.

1. Transit Access to a transit stop (400 metres or less) is essential to any good condo investment. Bus stops or streetcars are acceptable but subway will always be best.

2. Schools When buying a house, being close to the best elementary and high schools is great for investment. When buying a condo, the benefit comes from being close to a college or university campus. A large number of postsecondary students in a small area will drive up rental rates. ›› CHECK OUT... Yonge and College
3. Restaurants and cafes Restaurants (especially the major chains) spend a great deal of money on market research before they set up a new shop.

5. Jobs Last but certainly not least, you want to make sure that your condo is located close to where people work. In the simplest of terms, where there are jobs, there is money, and where the money is, you should follow.

T
here are so many benefits to condo living — it’s convenient, maintenance free, and offers homeowners instant access to some of the city’s most vibrant neighbourhoods. For some, moving into a highrise means fewer opportunities to spend outdoors. Fortunately, there are lots of ways for condo dwellers to incorporate organic colours and materials into their decor to bring a bit of the outdoors in.

greens of grass and trees, the changing blues of a lake in summer, and the subtle greys of rock and stone. All too often, though, people try to create a sense of the outdoors with hot and bright colours. While Hacienda hues work for sunny Mexico, Canada’s cooler, darker climate means muted shades are a more effective way to evoke a feeling of being in nature. Choose a palette that echoes the landscape, like Para’s Northern Retreat (visit para.com/find-a-colour/2014-trends/2014-trendcolours) which features a coppery orange, muted olive and purple-grey – all colours that are found in the natural environment.

INTRODUCING WARM WOOD, burnished metal and richly veined stone
is another way to connect an interior space to the natural world. One of the newest and prettiest stores in Toronto to focus on organic, artisanal wares is Artemano (visit artemano.ca). The first Artemano store opened in 2002 in Laval, Quebec, offering clean-lined, Zen-inspired contemporary furnishings. A second store followed in Brossard in 2006. Now, owners Shimon Finkelstein and Eyal Shoam have made the move into Ontario, opening a fifth store at 698 Caledonia Rd. The store is full of wood pieces — tables, stools, cabinets, consoles, desks, beds and other pieces in such exotic species as sheesham – a special variety of Indian rosewood collected in environment-friendly groves – as well as mango, suar, teak and acacia. There are also loads of interesting accessories from as far away as India, Indonesia and Thailand. One of my favourites is a gorgeous textured table lamp made of pierced metal. It’s wonderfully sculptural and when lit, it creates magical light patterns on walls and ceilings. ONE TIP Avoid going full-on with natural and organic pieces, unless you’re decorating a cabin in the woods. In fact, mixing those pieces with furniture and accessories with crisp, modern lines will actually let their beauty shine through more vividly. 056 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014

C
anadians have never been more interested in owning foreign property than now. Whether it’s to plan for retirement, generate additional income or have a vacation place of your own, we are often drawn to homeownership at our favourite vacation destination. Thanks to low interest rates and a stable economy, Canadians have the upper hand and the world knows it. However, homeownership in another jurisdiction means a slew of considerations that are complex and at times, overwhelming. In the U.S., for example, there are estate tax issues that come up, and you may require a specially designed Trust to avoid Uncle Sam hitching his horse to your wagon in the event of the property owner’s death.
The home you purchase can bring years and years of happy memories and a great return 060 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
Tips for purchasing foreign property
There are issues of law if the country does not have a British system and if it’s run on civil or Napoleonic law – Martinique and St. Martin are examples. There may be other issues of property ownership such that foreign nationals may only be able to lease, not own. The next issues relate to the vendor. Are you purchasing from a reputable organization? If it is a condo, how are you sure the developer will be around if things go wrong? What guarantees are there on your deposits if they go broke and do not finish the project? It sounds like a lot to think about, but it was so easy to sign up during the tour! So, really, what are you buying? Are you buying a timeshare, outright ownership or a long-term lease? More and more questions. HERE IS A LIST OF A FEW QUESTIONS THAT NEED TO BE ANSWERED ON A PRELIMINARY BASIS ON A RESORT OR NEW CONDO PURCHASE BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY OFFER:
1. Location – why are you choosing this location for a second home? 2. How much time will you spend in a typical year in your second home? 3. Will you typically bring friends and family? 4. What are the common fees and how are they set and controlled? 5. What are resales like for the development? 6. What is the legal structure and laws that apply in the country you are looking at purchasing in? 7. Would you rent the property out, and if yes, what are your expectations and needs on rental income? 8. What security is there for deposits and payments? HERE IS THE LITMUS TEST FOR MOVING FORWARD:
A. How did the resort or sales centre answer those eight questions? B. Did they satisfy you with their knowledge and professionalism? C. Did they try to push you into signing something without the chance to consult with a lawyer? If those questions are answered to your satisfaction, then you know you are in the right place. If you have an intention to buy, make inquiries and find a lawyer who specializes in these types of property purchases – possibly a referral from your lawyer or friends at home. You need to understand the tax implications of a purchase, and more importantly, the tax impact if you sell for a profit or earn income. As an example, Barbados is a Canadian tax treaty partner and you may get favourable consideration on a capital gain or on rental income. Each country is unique and you need a lawyer or accountant to help you figure it all out. Buying a second home in a warm locale is a dream many Canadians share. If the deal is properly structured, the home you purchase can bring years and years of happy memories and quite possibly a great return down the road.

MORTGAGE ADVICE
Why you should shop around
// BY ALYSSA RICHARD
AT MORTGAGE RENEWAL TIME
S Alyssa Richard is the founder and CEO of ratehub.ca, a mortgage rate comparison site that aims to empower Canadians to make smart financial decisions.
ummer, without a doubt, is one of the busiest times of the year for homebuyers to jump into (or move around within) the housing market. If you purchased a home as far back as the summer of 2009, your mortgage is likely going to come up for renewal soon. If he hasn’t already done so, your lender will start popping early renewal notices into your mailbox – usually within the last 30 to 120 days of your current mortgage term. And while the renewal slip makes the process all too easy (you just sign the offer and send it back), it’s not in your best interest to accept this offer. For starters, the lender who had the best mortgage rate for you before is almost never the same lender who will have the best mortgage rate for you at renewal time. It’s sad – if you’re someone who stays loyal to lenders, that is – but true. On those mortgage renewal slips you find in your mailbox, lenders offer an average of only 0.25 per cent off their posted rate – that’s nothing, in comparison to the rates you can find online or from mortgage brokers across Canada. Unfortunately, lenders market their renewals as being easy and convenient, which is something most consumers are attracted to. But how much would it hurt to later find out you could’ve gotten a full one per cent or more off your rate, if you’d taken the time to shop around and negotiate?
How much would it hurt to find out you could’ve gotten a full one per cent or more off your rate, if you’d only taken the time to shop around and negotiate? Besides just the mortgage rate, it’s also unlikely that your current lender will be the one to offer you the best mortgage product for your needs at renewal time. Think about it this way: your financial goals from when you took on your current mortgage term were likely much different than what they are today, right? You could be at a completely different stage in your life now. Well, the same can be said for your lender. It’s convenient to stay with your current lender, but the terms and conditions your existing lender offers may no longer suit your needs. Consider all your mortgage needs – the rate and prepayment options – and go with the lender which can offer everything you’re looking for. One thing to keep in mind: if you don’t renew your mortgage with a new lender before the date your current mortgage term expires, your lender will automatically renew you for another term with them. A week isn’t enough time for most mortgage brokers to switch your mortgage from one provider to the next, so start shopping around early and make sure you find the best mortgage rate and terms for you. 062 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014

A recipe for
KITCHEN STYLE SUCCESS
I As a DIY and design aficionado, lifestyle expert and colour connoisseur, Leigh-Ann Allaire Perrault has spent years crafting a unique philosophy for design that fuses ingenuity, whimsy, and quality workmanship on a “frugalista” budget. This honours graduate from the Interior Decorating program at Sheridan College is now a faculty member at her alma mater, and has been sharing her knowledge of colour and design on Cityline since 2007, and is a regular contributing writer for Cityline.ca. After spending nearly a decade as the corporate Colour & Design Specialist for Benjamin Moore Paints, Leigh-Ann opened her own media and design company early in 2013, Hue La La, and recently joined Black & Decker as the Canadian female spokesperson.

f you have champagne dreams of a kitchen makeover, but you’re working with a beer budget, don’t be discouraged! In my opinion, great style and taste have little to do with the size of your space or wallet. It’s no secret that modern kitchen upgrades can increase your home’s value, but if you’re planning a more economical re-do, it’s important to determine where you really want to invest (such as appliances) and then think about smart ways that you can save – definitely the way to go, if you’re upgrading and updating prior to selling your home. Achieving a luxe design on a dime purely depends on how creative you can be with the budget you have. Here are three ways to add a dash of DIY to help you save on your own kitchen with one secret ingredient – paint! NO GRANITE? NO PROBLEM!
If you’re living with outdated, worn or damaged laminate, and new granite countertops aren’t in the plan, why not roll on a fresh, durable coating that will have your dinner guests in disbelief that it isn’t natural stone. Rust-Oleum’s “Transformations” collection also offers a paintable countertop solution in a variety of neutral colours for a fraction of the cost of granite. It’s a perfect solution for renters, home sellers looking for a quick pre-sale update, or homeowners who are tired of losing their appetite every time they stare at their ’80s peach-coloured laminate.

If you’re planning to tackle a DIY cabinet overhaul of your own, the key is to invest a little bit of time and money on the right products and surface preparation

GIVE YOUR EXISTING CABINETS A FACE-LIFT
If your cabinets are in good condition and you like the design profile, consider transforming them with paint or stain! Cabinets take up a huge amount of visual space in a kitchen, and by updating the colour and finish, you can affordably change the entire look and feel of the overall space. If you’re planning to tackle a DIY cabinet overhaul of your own, the key is to invest a little bit of time and money on the right products and surface preparation. An easy and affordable solution to simplify the process is an innovative kit called “Cabinet Transformations” by Rust-Oleum which requires no stripping, no sanding, and no priming to take your cabinets from bland to grand in as little as one weekend. 066 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014

UPDATE YOUR HARDWARE WITH A TRENDY METALLIC FINISH
I always think of hardware as the “jewelry” in a kitchen, but if new handles or knobs aren’t in the budget, then give your existing ones an instant inexpensive makeover with a coat of trendy metallic paint. One of my favourite DIY tricks is to buy budget lighting and knobs in a less-expensive brass finish and then transform them myself to pewter, hammered bronze or brushed nickel with Rust-Oleum’s Universal Metallic Spray Paint. It’s an easy way to get a high-end look for little investment, and no one will ever know the difference. So if you’re looking to cook-up some kitchen makeover magic, then all you need is a dash of good ‘ole DIY elbow grease and a splash of
creativity when considering your budget to turn your kitchen makeover dreams into an affordable recipe for reno success!

Wyldewood Cove construction celebration
DRAWS HUNDREDS WYLDEWOOD COVE BY BRANDY LANE HOMES IS A RESOUNDING SUCCESS. Offering four-season living right on the shores of Georgian Bay, this popular Collingwood condominium community is now 80 per cent sold. A wide range of suite styles is still available, but hurry to own one of these beautiful homes priced from just $169,990 to $279,990, that carry for as little as $959.11 per month – all in. Recently, Collingwood Mayor Sandra Cooper and Brandy Lane president David Hirsh were joined on site by Councillor Kevin Lloyd, current Wyldewood Cove homeowners, their families and friends, and community stakeholders. A ceremonial biodegradable balloon release marked the “take-off” of construction preparation. To celebrate this important milestone, would-be purchasers, guests and dignitaries mixed and mingled back at the sales office, where they enjoyed a barbecue by local caterer Men with Knives. “We designed Wyldewood Cove with a ‘water for all’ concept, and residents will benefit from amenities that are usually found only in much larger communities,” says Hirsh.

DESIGNER ADVICE

SHAPELY FORMS
Pillow talk // BY YANIC SIMARD
To really call your condo your dream home, you have to be able to get comfortable! The mattress and sofa are often considered the most plush investments, but there are many options of pillows to choose from, and getting the right combination is key to creating an ideal environment. Before you stop to put your feet up, consider my guide to picking the perfect pillow, and soon you’ll be able to rest easy – and beautifully.
Pillows typically come in standard sizes, but there are still many options to mix and match. Here’s my brief outline of the essential shapes: › Basic The typical sleeping pillow comes in standard (20”x26”), queen (20”x30”) and king (20”x36”) sizes, each with a matching pillow sham size. › Euro A Euro pillow is larger and square, measuring 26”x26”. Typically these are a decorative layer not used for sleeping, but they also provide a comfortable way to prop yourself up when sitting (handy for reading in bed). › Deco Decorative pillows come in multiple square shapes, but the most common is 20”x20”. These layer well in front of your basic bedding pillows and also look great on a sofa, allowing you to switch up your scheme by moving them between rooms. › Bolster Tube-shaped bolster pillows are usually long and thin, making a sleek finishing touch to your decorative pillow collection. Though they look like they’re shaped for your neck, leave the support system to an ergonomically shaped foam pillow and save the bolsters for pure visual satisfaction (or a perfect foot rest). › Lumbar It’s long like a bolster, but rectangular and designed for supporting the back while sitting. These can easily be slipped behind your standard pillows to hide away when not in use. › Body A body pillow is an extra-large pillow that isn’t meant for the head, but rather to tuck between the legs. This helps side sleepers maintain a leg position that reduces spinal stress for a healthier sleep. › Husband With two arm-like projections pointing outward from the base, these almost look like they’re reaching out to hug you. The arms actually help keep the pillow upright, giving you optimal support when sitting, so they’re also known as “bed rest pillows.”

MATERIAL MATTERS
Natural Natural down pillow fills are ideal
for resisting dust mites while giving a fluffy, comfortable consistency, and so have become the gold standard for quality. They can cost from $40 to $200 or more, but last five to 10 years, making them typically a smarter long-term investment. TAKE THE TEST Fold your pillow in half and squeeze the air out with your hands. If the pillow does not regain it’s shape quickly when released, it’s time for a replacement.
Synthetic Synthetic-filled pillows can contain
various fibres, often described as “down alternative,” with the most common being polyester. Synthetic filling is generally less expensive (usually around $10 to $40), but usually attract more dust mites (up to eight times as many) and even mould, so these should be replaced about every two years. TAKE THE TEST Fold your pillow in half, and lay a small book on top. If the pillow does not unfold back into shape under that little weight, you should start looking to upgrade.
Memory foam A separate class of synthetic
pillow, memory foam pillows are a solid form rather than a loose fill, and thus generally provide higher firmness and come in shapes designed to address specific sleep issues. They tend to be less decorative, but can be effective for neck issues and the like. TAKE THE TEST Because memory foam is designed to maintain its original shape, it can be harder to tell when these pillows are aging (or collecting mites, so consider replacement every few years regardless). In general you should be able to compress the centre with your hand but not all the way down.
Choosing a more firm pillow will prop up your head, helping you create a more horizontal line for your spine Back sleepers Try a medium-firm pillow (also good for people who change positions frequently while sleeping) to fit with the natural curvature of the spine. Stomach sleepers A soft, fluffy pillow will give your head more to sink into and help prevent awkward neck positions. Side sleepers Choosing a more firm pillow will prop up your head, helping you create a more horizontal line for your spine. A LITTLE DESIGNER ADVICE
As a designer, I always have to consider not just how a set of bedding will work at night, but also how it will look in the broad daylight. For a fresh, modern air, I typically recommend resisting the wilder prints and patterns and opting for a clean white collection, with a few decorative pillows (and a throw blanket) to add a hint of texture and colour. TRY... A white duvet, white standard- or queensized pillowcases, two neutral-hued Euro pillows at the headboard (in a luxe texture) and two Deco pillows or a bolster at the front for a pop of colour – it’s a no-fail timeless look you won’t get tired of!
NOTE The filling of each pillow isn’t the only issue; you should consider investing in a quality cover as well. A natural fibre case with a high thread count will help prevent materials from passing into the pillow, and also keep the filling in place, extending the life of your investment. HOW DO YOU SLEEP AT NIGHT?
Personal preference is a huge factor in determining the appropriate pillow plushness for your bedding, but don’t forget to think about your sleeping position. 088 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014

TO PACK OR NOT TO PACK . . .

M
oving is a very personal thing and people who hire moving companies ask for varying levels of service. Take packing, for example. Some people want to pack their own items, while others prefer a turn-key solution where the mover does it all. There are, of course, advantages to each approach, so it is important to choose what’s best for you.
Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced 096 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
THE PROFESSIONAL PACKER Most who choose to pack themselves do so because it saves money on the move. That is true only if the items make it from point A to point B in one piece. Moving companies will not be responsible for items damaged because of poor packing. The most critical element in packing is taking into consideration how far and long the items will remain in the boxes and containers during transit. Consumers often underestimate just how much jostling their items will endure on the various highways and other roadways on their trip to their new home. Accessories such as lamps may seem to be packed well, but may shift inside the carton, and chip or break as a result. Professional packers have the experience to know exactly what is best for various categories of items, depending on the size and distance of the move, and they pack accordingly. They can also provide excellent advice on how to mark your boxes for ease of unpacking, and on the items to pack last and unpack first. Having your mover do the packing offers you the peace of mind in knowing that if the unexpected happens, your possessions will be repaired or replaced. THE DIY PACKER Trained packing professionals help clients with as much or as little of the packing and unpacking as required. Those who are willing and capable of packing themselves need to consider the proper materials and containers that will help to ensure a successful move. There are also significant considerations to keep in mind, such as not packing explosive or flammable items in the general boxes. Although you can obtain boxes from places like grocery stores, check with your mover, who may sell proper packing materials that will save you work and worry. Some of the items you will need are tape dispensers, newsprint, markers, pads and bubble wrap – and there are many sizes and strengths of boxes available. There is a 1.5-cu.-ft. box that is often referred to as a “book box” or “record box.” It’s fairly small and is designed to hold small, heavy items like food jars or cans, flatware, CDs, etc. The next size up is a lamp or lamp shade box, which is three cu. ft. in size. The sizes go up from there, to 4.5 and six cu. ft. for lighter objects such as pillows and stuffed animals. These are just some of the moving materials that are available today. Whether you choose to pack your own items or have your mover do it, be sure you choose a company with a solid track record for providing topnotch service.

SMALL SPACES
// BY EVELYN ESHUN
BLISSFUL SMALL BATH
T
ransforming a small and awkward bathroom was a challenge in this space, but the final result is a bathroom which is timeless, functional and bright. The dated vanity and dark finishes made this windowless room feel small and un-welcoming. Physically making the space larger and adding a window was not an option, so the challenge of making it feel brighter and more luxurious was overcome by adding a few strategic design elements. OVERCOMING THE OBSTACLES: An angled wall adjacent to the vanity Recognized for her classic and eclectic style, award-winning interior designer Evelyn Eshun has been a fixture on the design scene for the past 15 years. Evelyn’s firm, Evelyn Eshun Design, does a wide range of residential and commercial projects from concept to build throughout the GTA. evelyneshun.com
098 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
obliged us to design a vanity with sliding doors for easy access to the storage area (pictured below, left) With its clean lines and aluminum feet, the wood-look freestanding vanity takes on the aesthetic of a piece of furniture and brings a luxurious look to the space. Being the only dark piece in the room, the vanity, which is adorned with a stunning Calcutta marble counter, is an attractive focal point taking the focus away from the odd shape of the room. Choosing this classically luxurious marble was the one design splurge which instantly injected the space with luxury and a timeless quality.
WHERE WE SPLURGED: One of the best ways to visually open up a bathroom and add to the luxurious experience is with the addition of a seamless glass shower outfitted with updated fixtures. Originally, this shower was confined to a small cubical finished with a four-by-four-inch dated ceramic tile. Creating a feature wall in Calcutta marble mosaics to match other surfaces, and a seamless shower glass installation by Hoski Glass created the illusion of space with a spa-like feeling. Details like a square drain, and contemporary, clean-lined plumbing fixtures contribute the modern edge in this bathroom. WHERE WE SAVED: After splurging on the marble, the savings came in the choice of a porcelain tile which was installed on the floor as well as walls. The idea of tiled walls is overwhelming for many people, but it does look great if done properly. Choosing the same tile for the walls and floor creates a seamless edge and consistency, making the space feel larger. The fact that it is easier to maintain a bathroom finished with wall tiles adds to the benefit of this design choice. DETAILS, DETAILS: My goal was to create a bathroom which is timeless, bright and spacious in feel, at a budget the client was comfortable with. Adding chrome accessories such as a hotel-style towel rack, counter-to-ceiling vanity mirror, and contemporary light fixtures gave this space its “wow” factor. TIPS 1. Vanity lights mounted on the wall approximately 55 inches high will

provide great light for grooming activities. 2. A large mirror above the vanity will “open” the space. 3. The style of your vanity will determine the overall look. Use this opportunity to express yourself. 4. Keeping all plumbing fixtures in their original location will save money – and in a condo, you will have limited options to move those elements. 5. Seamless glass showers are measured on site after the shower is installed. It is one of the last items installed, so expect to wait for that element well after the bathroom seems completed. 6. Seal your grout and natural stone surfaces before using the room to prevent mildew and water stains. SOURCE LIST

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream condo 01 Determine the appropriate five-year fixed mortgage rate, which is easiest to qualify for. 02 Look down the left column of the table on the opposite page to find the rate (rounded to the nearest 1/4 per cent).
122 NEW CONDO GUIDE AUG 30 - SEP 13, 2014
03 Choose your desired amortization period across the top of the table (25 years has lowest payment and is easiest to qualify for first-time homebuyers).
04 At the intersection of the column and row is your mortgage payment per month per $100,000 borrowed.
Bear in mind that this is a rough estimate. If you have several other large loans already, you may qualify for less. Also, banks and trust companies vary in their policies. The best way to know what you can afford is to go to the lending institution of your choice and get pre-qualified.
