EDITOR’S NOTE

VANCOUVER MAKES TOP 10 CITIES IN THE WORLD

MARISA BARATTA EDITOR NextHome EMAIL: marisa.baratta@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @marisabaratta

Congratulations, Vancouver! The Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU) surveyed 140 cities around the world and three Canadian cities – Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto – made it into the top 10. Three! Almost one-third of those top 10 spots belong to Canada. This is a huge reminder to us that we live in an amazing country that is recognized as being one of the best places to live.

(More on this exciting story on page 46.)

Now, let’s help you find your next home in this vast, beautiful province. One of the challenges Vancouverites face, as outlined in The EIU’s report, is that of affordable housing. In our previous issue, we shared some tips for overcoming mortgage affordability hurdles and to help you plan for your first home (you can find these on our website at nexthome.ca).

In this issue, we explore the concept of “the bank of Mom and Dad.” Have you heard of this? The idea here is that some parents are financially supporting their kids to help them become homeowners. If you’re thinking about being or borrowing from the bank of Mom and Dad, there are some things you may want to consider first to help ensure it’s the best decision for you and your family, and to help determine how best to approach this arrangement so that it works out amicably for everyone. More on that on page 13.

Throughout every issue of our magazine, we strive to identify exciting new properties and to share relevant news to help you find your next home.

Here’s wishing you the best of luck!

ADVICE | KEEHN ON MONEY

WITHDRAWING FROM THE

BANK OF MOM & DAD KELLEY KEEHN

More than one-third of parents say their Millennial children are still financially dependent on them and, of the one-in-five Canadians still working past the age of 60, 12 per cent are helping out their kids, according to two surveys by the Financial Planning Standards Council.

And if your kids are looking to buy in hot housing markets such as Vancouver and Toronto, getting your help for a down payment may be an option on their path to homeownership.

Sheila Walkington, a Vancouverbased, fee-only Certified Financial Planner with Money Coaches Canada, says that she’s finding more parents are wanting to help their kids out with housing. “The housing crisis is such big news, especially here in Vancouver, and parents seem to feel that if their children don’t get into the real estate market soon, they may never own a home.

Homeownership is still so tied up in our overall vision of success, so the prospect of their children never attaining this marker of adulthood is very concerning to many parents.”

Laurie Campbell, CEO of Credit Canada Debt Solutions, agrees.

“As a parent, it’s easy to feel obligated to help your children, and some are even happy to do it – that never goes away no matter

how old they get – but hurting ourselves financially doesn’t help our kids in the long run. They don’t want to be burdened with having to support us (financially) into our old age. Or, if you must sell your home to make good on outstanding debts, that won’t help them either, especially if they’re living at home.”

So, if you are going to help your adult child, keep these tips in mind: • Understand terms – is this a loan or gift?

• If your child gets married and then divorced, how will that affect repayment or expectations?

• Get everything in writing.

• Don’t set your kids up for failure – you might be helping with a down payment, but can they afford the ongoing mortgage, property taxes, maintenance and more?

• Speak with a lawyer who

specializes in family law to find the best solution for your particular circumstance.

As much as many parents would like to help their kids get into a home faster, it’s important to ensure that your own retirement has room for the support. Remember the sage advice received at the start of every flight: Always don your own oxygen mask first, before helping others.

Consider the advice of a Certified Financial Planner to help you create a plan.

Kelley Keehn is a financial literacy advocate who has been on a mission to “make Canadians feel good about money.” She is the author of eight published books and is also a speaker, media personality and consumer advocate for the Financial Planning Standards Council.

COVER STORY ALEXANDER SQUARE IN LANGLEY

Alexander Square Where you’ ll love to live

You’ve watched, you’ve waited and now it’s happening. On Saturday, Sept. 15, Alexander Square in Langley’s dynamic Willoughby neighbourhood will celebrate its highly anticipated grand opening.

“This is a fantastic opportunity for first-time buyers to get into the market,” says Jamie Squires, vicepresident of Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing. “The location is amazing, and with 300 homes under $600,000, this is one of the best values you’ll find in Metro Vancouver.”

She adds that Alexander Square’s 738-sq.-ft. H Plan is proving to be particularly attractive. “Unlike most two-bedroom homes this size, this floorplan has two full baths – so it’s ideal for roommates or siblings who want to share the expenses or for people who frequently have overnight guests.”

LIVE WITH STYLE

Inside, Alexander Square offers a broad selection of floorplans that range from cosy one-bedrooms to 16 NextHome.ca

three-bedroom penthouses boasting up to 1,159 sq. ft. of stylish living, and amazing views of the Golden Ears to the northeast and The Fraser Valley to the south.

Homes have the crisp, contemporary ambiance that’s garnered developer RDG Management multiple

awards and accolades for previous projects, including the much-honoured Ridge at Bose Farm.

Sure to get your culinary juices flowing, kitchens feature custom cabinetry in a modern interpretation of traditional Shaker style, quartz stone countertops, subway tile backsplash with a glass mosaic accent stripe, and so much storage you’ll wonder how you made do before.

There’s wide-plank laminate flooring, fourin. baseboards and nine-ft. ceilings throughout.

Ensuites feature decadently deep soaker tubs and heated floors as well as sophisticated quartz counters. And, of course, balconies are spacious and covered for year-round enjoyment. In short, you could say Alexander Square has it all.

EYE-CATCHING DESIGN

From the street, Alexander Square really stands out.

Each of the two phases – Alexa and Xander – have two wings extending out from a common lobby.

This unique approach creates the appearance of

Alexander Square being made up of four individual buildings. Both lobbies are flanked on one side by a fitness centre and an entertainment lounge on the other – amenities for the exclusive use of owners in each phase.

A tree-lined greenspace with pedestrian walkway and garden plots runs through the middle of the property, creating an inviting community gathering space for all to enjoy. On the third-level podium above, a magnificent rooftop deck offers plenty of casual seating, a barbecue area and a new perspective on the mountain views. There’s easy access to transit, shops, restaurants, parks and schools, too.

Alexander Square’s presentation centre with model kitchen display opens Sept. 15 at 208 Street and 80 Avenue, directly across the street from Willoughby Town Centre in Langley.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

FORT LANGLEY A NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE

by MARIA RANTANEN

Fort Langley is considered to be the birthplace of BC – this former Hudson’s Bay Company trading post is where the province was originally declared the Colony of British Columbia in 1858.

Situated at the north end of the Township of Langley, Fort Langley is the quintessential village, an oasis of local culture with a 18 NextHome.ca

walkable main street ambiance.

Locals know each other and look out for each other, and many artists have chosen to make this neighbourhood their home.

Fort Langley was declared a national historic site in 1923. In 1931, the only original building left was opened to the public and many older buildings were added,

creating the Fort Langley National Historic Site, a destination for tourists from across Canada and around the world.

THE VIBE

History, art, antiques, good food and good reads – Fort Langley is a hotbed of culture in The Fraser Valley. One of

“It’s different here from any other community in BC because of its heritage – and it’s an ideal location to live and work. I can’t do this business anywhere but in Fort Langley and I wouldn’t want to live anywhere else.”

These timber buildings are filled with artifacts and re-enactors who bring history to life. At this western outpost, you can learn how early settlers, fur traders and First Nations interacted almost 200 years ago. pc.gc.ca

LANGLEY CENTENNIAL MUSEUM

the neighbourhood’s biggest attractions is the Fort Langley National Historic Site, where tourists and locals alike can learn about how the province’s economy got its start. The form and character of this historic town is maintained through local conservation codes, with new buildings blending in with the many heritage buildings found in the neighbourhood.

PLANES, TRAINS & AUTOMOBILES

Fort Langley is a self-contained neighbourhood, so residents can walk or cycle to do most of their errands and shopping.

While getting out of Fort Langley is most convenient by car, a bus does service the area, connecting to downtown Langley and Walnut Grove. The CN train track also runs through the neighbourhood.

Established in 1958, the Langley Centennial Museum is open to both the general public and school groups wanting to learn about the history of the Township of Langley through its many temporary exhibits. museum.tol.ca

IN THE AREA

Fort Langley’s main street is filled with eclectic boutiques and antique stores. Cafes and restaurants serve up delicious treats. You can find everything you need – from groceries to pharmacy products to fine art – but if you are craving some big-box and chain-store retail shopping, you can head over to Walnut Grove to the west, just a short drive away.

THE GOOD, THE BAD & THE REST

Tucked away in rural Langley, Fort Langley can seem a bit isolated from the rest of the municipality, but its charming ambiance, heritage homes, historic sites, galleries and cafes make it a destination point, and many residents find everything they need right here in their village.

FORT LANGLEY COMMUNITY HALL Built in 1931, the Fort Langley Community Hall serves as a gathering place for a variety of events in this historic town. The hall is maintained by volunteers and is available for rent. fortlangleycommunityhall.com

FALL ELECTION MAY IMPACT

HOUSING STARTS CAMERON MCNEILL

The summer of 2018 has been an extremely active period for the pre-sale market – and this is often considered a quieter season. The limited inventory in Greater Vancouver and The Fraser Valley is fuelling a stronger demand for multi-family homes.

However, many projects are forced to sit on the sidelines due to the upcoming October municipal elections, causing delays for new housing supply across the region and therefore limiting home options.

BUSY SUMMER FOR PRESALE LAUNCHES

Since June, the pre-sale market in The Fraser Valley is seeing a surge in interest as purchasers are seeking greater value with home prices and larger floorplan options than what they might find in the Greater Vancouver area.

The normally quieter month of July saw an unusually high volume of projects come to market with more than 1,900 units. While a number of projects were delayed in the first half of the year, recently, these highly anticipated developments have successfully launched and contributed to an increase in available housing.

August is on track to see approximately 1,000 new units from townhomes to condominiums, with Langley and West Coquitlam seeing the most inventory.

20 NextHome.ca

Langley’s pre-sale market is heating up this summer. The townhomes at Luxia at Yorkson offer a communal greenspace and a multipurpose amenity building to encourage residents to socialize with neighbours.

MULTI-FAMILY HOUSING SUPPLY EXPECTING DELAYS

While the summertime has been busy with exciting new communities, a number of new multi-family projects continue to experience development application delays as municipal reviews are pushed back due to the summer holidays and the upcoming 2018 General Local Elections. It is typical for developers to put a pause on submitting their development applications due in part to the pending changes in the political environment.

With the possibility of a gradual slowdown on the horizon, many developers are at a standstill with the municipal process or “waiting for the dust to settle” with the transition to the newly elected councils. The ripple effect includes delays with bylaws, permits and, most importantly, supply in our

market on top of the already lower-than-expected housing starts.

MLA Advisory is forecasting more than 7,000 units for the third and fourth quarter of 2018. However, longer delays in municipal approvals are negatively impacting timelines for new multifamily developments, with some projects being postponed by at least three to five months.

Cameron McNeill is the executive director of MLA Canada, a comprehensive real estate service provider. Partnering with residential developers, MLA Canada offers an unmatched level of expertise in advisory services, market intelligence, project marketing, sales, customer care and administration.

SELF-EMPLOYED? NEW RULES HELP PROSPECTIVE HOMEOWNERS

Beginning October, Canada’s self-employed may find it easier to secure a mortgage, thanks to changes from Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC) aimed at giving lenders more guidance and flexibility to help this important homebuying demographic.

Self-employed Canadians are key contributors to strong and vibrant communities and make up about 15 per cent of Canada’s population. However, they may have had difficulty qualifying for a mortgage as their incomes may vary or be less predictable.

In line with the National Housing Strategy’s mission to address the housing needs of all Canadians, the changes include: • Providing examples of factors that can be used to support the lender’s decision to lend to selfemployed borrowers who have been operating their business for less than 24 months, or in the same line of work for less than 24 months. These factors could include acquiring an established business, sufficient cash reserves, predictable earnings, and previous training and education.

• Providing a broader range of documentation 22 NextHome.ca

options to increase flexibility for satisfying income and employment requirements when qualifying self-employed borrowers to support an “add back” approach for grossing up income for sole proprietorship and partnerships. This documentation could include the Notice of Assessment (NOA) accompanied by the T1 General, the CRA Proof of Income Statement and the Statement of Business or Professional Activities (T2125).

“Self-employed Canadians represent a significant part of the Canadian workforce,” says Romy Bowers, chief commercial officer, CMHC. “These policy changes respond to that reality by making it easier for selfemployed borrowers to obtain CMHC mortgage loan insurance and benefit from competitive interest rates.”

These enhancements, which apply to both transactional and portfolio insurance, will take effect Oct. 1, 2018.

MAJORITY OF CANADIANS AREN’T LIVING IN THEIR IDEAL HOME

There’s a reason we have the expression “dream home” – it’s not uncommon to dream of your ideal living space and to imagine what it might look like. It’s also becoming more common for Canadians to have to wait until their 50s to get into their ideal home, according to a new survey commissioned by CENTURY 21 Canada.

“While you would expect young adults may not be not living in their ideal situations as they work to establish themselves, it was striking that their satisfaction level didn’t improve significantly until people got into their 50s,” says Brian Rushton, executive vicepresident of CENTURY 21 Canada.

26 NextHome.ca

The survey of 1,000 Canadian adults living in eight metropolitan centres across the country asked them how close their current living situation is to their ideal.

• 41 per cent ranked their situation as close to their ideal • 43 per cent ranked their situation as moderately close to their ideal • 16 per cent ranked their situation as far from their ideal AGE

Once age is factored in, the gulf widens considerably, with only a third of those aged 25 to 54 saying they are living in close to their ideal situation while a majority

(56 per cent) of those aged 55+ said they are living in close to their ideal situation. Even in the 45 to 54 age range, about one in five said their living situation is far from their ideal – about the same percentage as young adults.

PREFERRED FEATURES OF AN IDEAL HOME

Almost half (49 per cent) of those surveyed identified type of home as one of their top two priorities when considering purchasing a new home, while 46 per cent identified location/ neighbourhood as one of their top two considerations. Other factors include:

“This survey tells us that when people buy a home, they are buying a lifestyle,” Rushton says.

“What that means varies widely with the individual, but it typically requires deciding what is most important within your budget and what compromises you’ll make to get as close to your own ideal living arrangement as possible.”

TYPE OF HOME

Across all eight metropolitan

areas, 65 per cent of Canadians identified a single-detached home as their ideal, with another 24 per cent identifying an apartment as their ideal. The remaining 11 per cent preferred a semi-detached home or other arrangement (such as a trailer or houseboat).

“It was also surprising that while two-thirds of Canadians told us a single-detached home is their ideal, a quarter preferred an apartment, primarily because they value a low-maintenance lifestyle,” Rushton shares.

The numbers varied by region, with only 52 per cent of Metro Vancouver residents preferring a

single-detached house compared to 79 per cent in Calgary. Interest in single-detached houses peaks at ages 35 to 44, especially among those with children at home, declining afterwards. Single people and couples without children are more likely to prefer apartments.

Those who prefer a singledetached home identified a private and independent lifestyle, a yard, tranquility, space and privacy as their top reasons, while those who prefer apartments identified a hassle-free lifestyle and lower maintenance as their top reasons.

PROPERTY PROFILE

CEDAR CREEK TRANQUIL BY NATURE Inspired by the majesty of British Columbia’s cedar trees, the initial building in Ledingham McAllister’s Cedar Creek neighbourhood is preparing to commence sales in mid-September. And there’s no question this six-storey wood-frame is already turning heads.

Ideally located in Burnaby’s vibrant Edmonds neighbourhood, Cedar Creek will be directly across the street from LedMac’s highly anticipated 60-acre Southgate City. “Cedar Creek will be our fourth community in this neighbourhood, and we’re delighted to be back,” says Manuela Mirecki, senior vice-president of marketing and design. “People have always been very loyal to this area. Many have grown up here and now want to put down their own family roots, so we expect most buyers will be end-users who plan to live here for a long time.”

She adds that Cedar Creek’s potential for appreciation is outstanding.

32 NextHome.ca

“Right now prices have somewhat plateaued, and historically that’s always been an ideal time to purchase a home – especially once Southgate City begins construction. So this is an opportunity to take advantage of all that potential growth in a neighbourhood that’s growing rapidly.”

Pedestrian trails meander through the property, some linking you directly to the parks, streams, trails and shops of Southgate City.

And, of course, there will even be bike racks outside each building to encourage two-wheeling alternatives.

Landscaping, too, will be amazing at Cedar Creek. There will be more than 225 new trees planted, including 49 dogwoods, 26 maples and 72 California lilacs.

Some 30 evergreen huckleberry bushes, always a favourite with hummingbirds, will be found throughout the property. To honour Burnaby’s official flower, more than 170 rhododendrons will bring pops of colour during spring and early summer while hardy

When you’re ready to talk amenities, Cedar Creek has you covered: Fitness room, kids’ play area, meeting room for when you need to create an impression with your clients, a bike repair shop and community garden plots.

Plus, there’s a diverse selection of trails, rec centres, shopping and restaurants that await exploration nearby.

And here’s a cool bonus: Every home purchase includes a credit towards a Modo Co-operative membership. With on-site parking for three Modo cars, going green just got more convenient.

HAVEN MODERN FARMHOUSE LIVING Tucked into a tranquil South Surrey neighbourhood, a secret gem awaits. Introducing Haven, an intimate collection of 33 townhomes with a unique personality and charm to spare.

“Haven’s modern farmhouse architecture is something quite different in the market,” says Cristy Edmonds, project marketer.

“White brick siding, metal shed roofs over the entryway and windows, plus black mullions – these homes are so cute and inviting. And because Haven is the only new development in this neighbourhood, it’s a very rare and exclusive opportunity.”

feel. Yet there’s still the warmth of heritage elements, including rustic-look laminate flooring, a shiplap feature wall, black matte cabinetry pulls and an optional floor-to-ceiling white brick fireplace. In other words, these homes just feel good.

Kitchens are thoughtfully planned with culinary adventures in mind, and the collection of stainless steel appliances includes a fiveburner gas range with convection oven, French door refrigerator, and dishwasher with adjustable racking so you can even fit in the spaghetti pot. And for the truly discerning chef, there’s an optional La Cornue stove upgrade – sweet.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

AVOID COMMON

PACKING MISTAKES CHUCK RESNICK

Moving soon? For some, doing the packing themselves works out fine; others have problems resulting from a lack of foresight, poorly packed boxes and inexperience in loading moving trucks.

Here are a few tips to help you avoid finding damaged items at your destination: 1. Consider purchasing boxes from your mover. The most common packing mistake we see are people getting free boxes at the grocery or liquor store and then putting too much weight in them. For example, using a large box to pack books and magazines may make it too heavy to lift, and the box might break during the move due to the weight.

RULE OF THUMB: The heavier the item, the smaller the box.

Be choosy about your boxes; free boxes from a grocery store that have been used to ship produce could contain insect larvae that may transfer to your belongings.

2. Be realistic about the number of boxes you need. Depending on how long you’ve lived in your current location, you will most likely underestimate your boxes requirement.

3. Start packing early and be completely packed when the 42 NextHome.ca

movers arrive. Sometimes we arrive at a customer’s home and they’re not packed. There’s nothing more frustrating than trying to move customers’ belongings while they are attempting to shove items into boxes and we get in each other’s way.

This also interferes with the optimal loading of the moving truck. We have a loading system where the first things we place in the truck are light items, which we place in the “attic” (the area over the cab) of the truck. We can get lots of light items up there and they stay secure.

Next, we create a “box wall” stacked to the ceiling to hold the items in the attic in place. If you’re not completely packed and ready on moving day, we can’t create that box wall early on, and this decreases the number of items that can be moved at one time.

It also eats up precious time and therefore money!

4. Think ahead. Begin packing items you don’t use daily. As you pack your boxes, move them to the front of your apartment and

stack them along a wall near the front door. Having them ready by the door can shave 10 to 20 seconds off the time for each box.

Saving 20 seconds per box can save lots of time and money.

5. Consider having your moving company pack for you. We are skilled, have more experience and have standard-size small, medium and large boxes that are designed to fit into our trucks to create a perfect box wall for optimum efficiency and safety.

When it comes to moving, forethought goes a long way.

Because your belongings mean a lot to you, take extra care when packing so that they arrive at your destination safely.

Chuck Resnick is vice-president Marketing and Operations for Two Men And a Truck - Canada, a division of Heron Capital Corp.

3 CANADIAN CITIES MAKE TOP 10 MOST LIVABLE IN THE WORLD

By MARISA BARATTA

Canadians often say they live in one of the best countries in the world. And, according to a recent survey, we’re not the only ones who think so.

In the Global Livability Index 2018, an annual report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (The EIU), three Canadian cities – Calgary, Vancouver and Toronto – ranked among the top 10 most livable cities in the world. Calgary earned fourth place, followed by Vancouver in sixth and Toronto (tied with Tokyo) in seventh.

The rest of the top 10 is made up of three Australian cities, two European ones and two from Japan (including Tokyo).

MOST LIVABLE CITIES 2018:

1. Vienna, Austria 2. Melbourne, Australia 3. Osaka, Japan 4. Calgary, Canada 5. Sydney, Australia 6. Vancouver, Canada 7. (tie) Toronto, Canada 7. (tie) Tokyo, Japan 9. Copenhagen, Denmark 10. Adelaide, Australia HOW THE RANKING WORKS

To determine these rankings, The EIU surveyed 140 cities around the world and measured five categories: Stability, health care, culture and environment, education and infrastructure.

“Across the survey a mixture of quantitative and qualitative data are used, which are combined to give an overall livability rating,” explains Roxana 46 NextHome.ca

Slavcheva, author of the Livability Index. “Individual indicators are scored as acceptable, tolerable, uncomfortable, undesirable or intolerable. These are then weighted to produce an overall rating, where 100 means livability in a city is ideal and one means it is intolerable.” Each city’s rating depends upon more than 30 qualitative and quantitative factors across those five categories.

CALGARY, VANCOUVER AND TORONTO

Robert Wood, principal economist at The EIU, says all three Canadian cities did well in terms of the 30 factors measured across the five categories. “The only indicator where all three trip up is livability of the weather, which many can relate to. This is because we are comparing cities across the globe and I’m thinking of places in the Mediterranean!” he shares. “This year Calgary just pulls ahead of Vancouver and Toronto partly because it scores better in terms of affordability of quality housing, partly explained by the house price boom in Vancouver and Toronto.”

Overall Rating (100 = ideal)

2017 COMPARISON

Last year, Vancouver ranked third, Toronto fourth and Calgary tied with Adelaide, Australia, for fifth.

“The Economist Intelligence Unit’s Global Livability survey quantifies the challenges a city presents [in] daily life, allowing direct comparison between locations,” Slavcheva explains. The rankings are based on how cities compare to one another, so a drop in ranking does not necessarily mean that a city’s livability score has changed.

In fact, livability in all cities surveyed increased by 0.9 per cent in the past year, with improvements seen in all five categories – in particular stability, which increased by 2.5 per cent.

TRENDS IN TOP-RANKING CITIES

Some things that many of the top-ranking cities have in common: Many of these are mid-sized cities in wealthier countries and with a comparably low population density, allowing these communities to offer recreational opportunities without compromising the quality of their infrastructure or introducing a

higher crime rate.

Referring to the 2017 World Bank statistics, the Global Livability Index 2018 overview points out that the population densities in Canada and Australia, for example, vary between 3.2 and four people per square kilometre, compared to 35.6 in the U.S. or a global land average of 58.

“Large, vibrant metropolises such as London and New York of course offer a rich breadth of entertainment options and cultural amenities. However, they continue to struggle with overstretched infrastructure, congestion and higher crime rates,” Slavcheva points out. “The aim of the Global Livability ranking is to allow for cities to compare what they are doing well and which areas need improvement. No city scores perfectly, although there is a lot that can be learned from those that are topping the different categories in the index. The important thing for cities is to keep track of progress and measure the impact of each policy, each new infrastructure project and each intervention on citizens’ well-being.” aug 31 - sept 14, 2018 47

Designer Linda Mazur chats about the timeless luxury of clawfoot tubs.

Clawfoot tubs have been around since the mid-1800s, and this classic design continues to be a popular choice for bathrooms. Offering a traditional style with a distinctive look, practical functionality and the ability to provide a long, hot soak, the clawfoot tub is a great piece for elevating your bathroom’s aesthetic.

When bathing became increasingly fashionable in the 1800s, the craftsmen of that time applied clawfoot leg designs (often eagle or lion motifs) to cast-iron tubs lined with porcelain. Over recent years, we have seen a resurgence of this tub design. The modern versions are often commonly fabricated from acrylic, but the cast-iron version is always the most sought after. It’s incredibly durable and keeps the water hot for longer. Keep in mind, though, that cast-iron tubs are extremely heavy – when installing, you may need to consider reinforcing the floor beneath the tub as a precaution.

One modern-day company that honours the more classic approach to clawfoot tubs is Victoria + Albert (vandabaths.com). Its tubs are crafted from the brand’s signature English cast composition, a unique blend of a naturally white material that is rich in volcanic limestone and high-performance resins. It also offers a choice of some trending colour options for both its tubs and feet. This vintage tub can work its way into many different bathroom designs and personal styles. From the traditional to a design boasting a more eclectic and modern blend, this ever-popular tub offers many design possibilities that can be enhanced 50 NextHome.ca

by the choice of faucet style and accessories.

Nothing makes a statement of “old-fashioned luxury” quite like a clawfoot bath. Create a chic and grand focal point in your bathroom by incorporating one into your design. You may be surprised by what this classic has to offer!

Tip! • Test drive your tub for comfort and size, and ensure it fits your bathroom space • As the tubs are freestanding, don’t feel they need to be set against a wall • Consider enhancing your tub by adding colour to the exterior Photo caption: Timeless and classic, the Cheshire is a deep Victorian double-ended roll-top clawfoot tub that can be customized with a range of Ball & Claw feet options.

IN THE KNOW This 13-storey building comes back to life by way of Nashville-based architects Feltus Hawkins Design, Nick Dryden of Dryden Architecture and Design (DAAD), and creative branding experts Peck & Company, led by Benji Peck. The team has masterfully preserved this historic hotel, first opened in 1930 by the Noels, a prominent Nashville family, while infusing it with renewed energy. Visit noelle-nashville.com or booking.com to reserve your stay.

Everywhere you turn, this hotel is bursting with home-worthy design elements. In fact, new research commissioned by Booking.com shows that 51 per cent of Canadian travellers said the interior design of their holiday accommodation motivated them to redecorate their own home. “The experiences we have while on holiday can last for a lifetime, whether that’s the memories we create, the purchases we make or the inspiration we come home with,” says Chief Marketing Officer at Booking. com, Pepijn Rijvers. “Passion for interior design is one that spans all continents, and what better way to get new ideas and fresh inspiration than [by] looking to the accommodation we stay in while on holiday.”

There are three components to look for when purchasing authentic quality sheets:

1.

THE TYPE OF COTTON. Long staple cotton is considered to be the best in the world, due to the strength and softness of its long fibres.

Egyptian and American Pima are two of the world’s best cottons.

2.

WHERE THE FABRIC IS WOVEN. Italian mills are the world’s foremost experts thanks to their long history of weaving and superior technology. Sheets woven in Italy, or other parts of Europe such as Portugal and Switzerland, will typically be of a higher quality than parts of the world where weaving is a more recent industry and technology is not quite as advanced.

3.

THE THREAD COUNT. Look for a thread count higher than 200 (less than 200 is called muslin), but remember, thread count is a personal preference. It’s all about determining what feel you like best. Do you prefer your sheets to feel soft or crisp? Fine or heavy? It’s up to you! What matters most is that the sheet has the very best raw materials: Long staple Egyptian or Pima cotton, and a superior weave.

IN THE MARKET FOR NEW BEDSHEETS? JOANNA GOODMAN, OWNER OF AU LIT FINE LINENS, EXPLAINS IT’S NOT ALL ABOUT THE THREAD COUNT! WHO KNEW, RIGHT? CHECK OUT HER TOP TIPS BEFORE YOU HIT THE SHOPS

EXPERT TIP: Always look for 100-per-cent long staple cotton sheets. Labels can be misleading. While numerous brands claim to use “Egyptian cotton,” their linens may contain as little as one per cent. Make sure the packaging says 100 per cent Egyptian or Pima cotton. Also, where the product is made is not necessarily where the fabric is woven. If you find a very inexpensive sheet with a really high thread count, it’s probably not pure Egyptian cotton, or has an inferior weave from a country without a long history of weaving or state-of-the-art technology.

GILMORE PLACE

BRENTWOOD’S EVOLUTION

It’s almost here – the grand reveal that eager homebuyers have been waiting for. Gilmore Place is set to begin previews in late September and homebuyers just can’t wait to experience the luxury, style and urban sophistication that is the cornerstone of this impressive new development from Onni.

Here’s a hint just to whet your appetite: The presentation centre will be 10,000 sq. ft. and will contain two full-sized display suites, so you can truly immerse yourself in the experience. There’s also the Gilmore Cafe, a cozy lounge where you can relax in comfort while savouring fresh coffee and cookies.

Of course, you will also get a sneak peek at the scale model, which is going to be like nothing you’ve seen before.

These previews are by appointment only, so now’s the time to register for more information. Why?

whisk you to downtown Vancouver in about 15 minutes – less time than it would likely take you to find a parking spot. And even though access to Highway 1 into Vancouver is a snap, if you’re one of the many people who prefer a two-wheeled commute to Vancouver, explore the Central Valley Greenway cycle route that runs along the southern edge of the property.

WORLD-CLASS AMENITIES

Because this 12-acre master-planned community from award-winning Onni is going to transform Brentwood’s western gateway into a dazzling urban hub with a one-of-a-kind ambiance and amenities that take metropolitan living to new heights.

Gilmore Place will also be home to one of the tallest residential towers in Western Canada. “The flagship tower in our initial phase will be 64 storeys – that’s more than 700 ft.,” says Nick Belmar, Onni’s vicepresident of sales. “In total, these three towers alone will introduce more than 1,550 homes and 1.6 million sq. ft. of retail and office space to the community.

When complete, Gilmore Place will be comprised of 10 towers – seven residential and three office. Our vision is to create a vibrant, engaging public realm that’s outfitted with plazas, cafes and seating areas – a pedestrian-friendly place for connecting with friends, shopping or simply enjoying the greenery.”

The entire neighbourhood, he adds, will also connect seamlessly to the SkyTrain that’s ready to

When you’re ready to relax, Gilmore Place is going to have plenty to satisfy. “Amenities are going to be in a class of their own – more than 75,000 sq. ft. of indoor and outdoor spaces right onsite,” Belmar says. “This is going to be the most robust amenities offering we’ve ever created.”

Residents will have access to a state-of-the-art fitness centre and fully equipped entertainment lounge with chef’s kitchen. But that’s only the beginning – there will also be a dual-lane bowling alley with its own bar, a golf simulator for days when you don’t feel like travelling to one of the nearby greens, a karaoke lounge, two swimming pools, an outdoor kids’ play area, a bocce lawn and even a dog park. Oh, and when your friends and relatives come calling, just book them into one of the guest suites.

Gilmore Place also puts you within walking distance of the shopping mecca of Brentwood Town Centre, and is only a short drive to parks and walking trails.

When you do feel like looking further afield, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. It’s a quick drive to the North Shore for skiing at Grouse Mountain, Mount Seymour or Cypress Mountain, or a stroll through Deep Cove. And when you’re ready for a road trip to the Okanagan for its outdoor recreation and wineries, just head east and in four hours you’ll be sipping wine on the deck.

Gilmore Place will be located at Gilmore and Lougheed, the new gateway to Brentwood. The presentation centre is anticipated to open at the end of September. Register now by visiting onni. com/gilmoreplace to ensure you’re among the first to schedule your private, by-appointment-only preview of this stunning new community.
