Much like that bank commercial that says, “you’re richer than you think,” a new home may be more affordable than you originally thought. Perhaps you only need to change your definition of “home” to get into the market.

While a detached home is the traditional choice for many, highrise and lowrise condo suites, lofts and townhomes have become a prime choice among first-time buyers and empty nesters in the market for new place to call “home.”

Not only does condominium living afford you the opportunity to live in a prime neighbourhood at a great starting price, when it’s time to move you can often opt to remain in the same neighbourhood, since many buildings and townhome communities offer a mix of designs and sizes, which allow families to relocate easily without having to change jobs or schools. Today’s communities generally have a range of sizes and prices that start at the “affordable” end of the price spectrum. This spring, many builders and developers are gearing up for their grand openings or have suites available for quick occupancy. It’s an exciting time to be shopping for a new place, so don’t miss this excellent buying opportunity.

Have a look through this issue and see what you think. The home of your dreams is waiting.

ART AND DESIGN ENHANCING URBAN LIVES

In their most basic function, our homes shelter us, providing the base of Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. But a great home fulfills important parts of the rest of the pyramid as well. Security of occupants and property are pretty much a given, but access to community and family, respect, belonging, confidence and a feeling of achievement can all be gained by being in the right home in the right place. At the top of the hierarchy are creativity, inspiration, spontaneity, and acceptance of differences. Homes can reflect these values, but they can also inspire them!

In this issue, you can read about how developers in Metro Vancouver are using public art to delight, invigorate and stimulate residents and visitors alike, and how city policies are encouraging public art on an ever greater and grander scale.

If you’re thinking of moving to a more inspiring home, this month we’ve got a comprehensive update on exciting new properties coming on the market, along with information about how the Property Transfer Tax may affect you. We’re here to help you find the perfect home that suits all your needs, from basic to beyond your expectations.

Happy home hunting!

so well known for the quality of their buildings that people have been just waiting for this opportunity. Now it’s here, they aren’t going to miss out.”

All About Location

UPTOWN

WEST COQUITLAM GETS CRANKED UP // BY SUSAN M BOYCE IT’S COQUITLAM’S NEWEST RESIDENTIAL HOTSPOT, A NEIGHBOURHOOD

that’s shaking up people’s perception of the entire city. Located at the intersection of Burnaby and Coquitlam, West Coquitlam is a neighbourhood that some say has it all — proximity to everything from transit to recreation and schools, a quiet setting and some of the best property prices going.

And right at the heart of it all is Uptown, a dazzling pair of residential towers that have been wowing savvy buyers who want to be part of this evolution. “We sold over 100 homes to our priority registrants right when we launched Uptown,” says sales manager Alice Wang. “Bosa Properties is

Location, location, location may be an old adage, but here at Uptown it’s a key component of success. When complete, homeowners will be a block from the Burquitlam SkyTrain station and the new Evergreen Line, walking distance to Lougheed Town Centre, and a short, easy drive or bus ride to three higher education facilities: SFU, Douglas College, and BCIT. “Bosa will also be building a major grocery store on street level of the building, so day-today staples and fresh produce will, quite literally, be right outside your door,” Alice says. In other words, you’ll never have to worry about what to do when you have run out of milk or simply feel like having some fresh-cut flowers to brighten up the living room.

No Compromise Affordability Built with all the style and upscale finishings you insist on, Uptown’s prices are a pleasant surprise.

“Yes, you get all of the luxurious features like marble backsplashes, integrated cabinetry, custom closet organizers, and European-style appliances,” Alice says. “But thanks to Bosa’s design practicality, these homes are affordable too. It’s the perfect blend of beauty and practicality. Plus, being on the Coquitlam side of the municipal boundary means you’re not paying the higher Burnaby property taxes.”

It’s not just first time buyers and investors who are taking note either. “We’ve had a strong response from people who have lived in the area for many years and now want to downsize into a condominium home,” Alice says.

Need yet another enticement? “Two of our floorplans have the option of incorporating some of the most popular features of the BosaSPACE concept we introduced at University District in Surrey,” Alice says.

In case you haven’t yet seen it for yourself, BosaSPACE is a whole new take on transformational design — creating homes that redefine multi-functional. First there’s the Table Island: a kitchen island that extends to become a computer work station or even a dining table that comfortably accommodates eight guests for a sit down dinner. And for those times when one of those guests unexpectedly stays over, the Sleep Theatre lets you simply push your TV wall to one side and reveal a day bed where they can crash in comfort. Smart, practical, and a great way to effortlessly get your space working overtime.

Uptown’s just-opened presentation centre is situated at 581 Clarke Rd. (at the corner of Clark Rd. and Como Lake Ave.) in West Coquitlam. Phase One offers a total of 216 one-, two-, and three-bedroom designs priced from $258,900. For more information visit bosaproperties.com or call 604.939.2677.

THE PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX & YOU

First-time homebuyers can benefit from the new exemptions

Introduced by the BC Government in 1987, the PTT applies a tax to every real estate purchase or gain on a property that is registered at the Land Title Office. The taxes are calculated based on the property’s purchase price (at fair market value) at a rate of 1% of the first $200,000 and 2% on the remainder of the value. For example, the current MLS composite benchmark price (for all residential properties in Metro Vancouver) is $609,100 which would result in paying $10,182 towards the PTT. THE CHANGE - WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS? Cameron McNeill is the owner of MAC Marketing Solutions, one of B.C.’s and Alberta’s leading real estate sales and marketing firms. Cameron also co-founded TAC Real Estate, a resale firm, and MPC Intelligence, a real estate market-research firm. Together with his experienced and dedicated team of sales, marketing and administration professionals, he has transacted more than 14,000 new homes and $5 billion in sales.

hat is the Property Transfer Tax? Recent changes in this tax could benefit you.

Taxes can be a difficult financial barrier when considering the purchase of your first home. But recently the provincial government announced changes to the Property Transfer Tax (PTT) that could make this easier! Let’s begin by understanding the PTT.

Taxes can be a difficult financial barrier when considering the purchase of your first home.

In recent years, the provincial government introduced the First Time Home Buyers’ Program which reduces or eliminates the PTT for those trying to enter the market.

The most recent change, which occurred on February 19, 2014, makes a first time home buyer exempt from paying the PTT if the property is valued at $475,000 or less - instead of the previous $425,000 ceiling. Furthermore, if the purchase price is between $475,000 - $500,000, there is still an opportunity to qualify for a proportional exemption.

FOR EXAMPLE:

Purchase Price (Fair Market Value) 1% of first $200,000 2% of remaining Balance ($275,000) Total PTT exemption

$475,000 $2,000 $5,500 $7,500

HOW DO YOU QUALIFY?

Qualifying can be a simple process as long as you meet these requirements for the First Time Home Buyers’ Program: ›› You are a Canadian citizen or permanent resident (If you become one within 12 months of when the property is registered, you are eligible to apply for a refund of the tax.) ›› You have lived in BC for 12 consecutive months before the date of registration, or have filed two income tax returns as a BC resident within the last six years. ›› You have never owned an interest in a principal residence anywhere in the world at any time. ›› You have not have previously obtained a First Time Home Buyers’ Exemption ›› If you are purchasing property with another person, and if one only one of qualifies, a percentage of the eligible first time home buyer’s interest in the property will be exempt.

Ask your realtor or mortgage broker to see if you are eligible for this program or any other provincial or federal home purchaser incentives offered. For more information visit www.gov.bc.ca and search “Property Transfer Tax”.

Public art’s growing place in our urban landscape Myfanwy McLeod’s “The Birds” in Southeast False Creek

// BY STEPHANIE MACDONALD

IT WAS A STRIKING SIGHT IN 1998, CONTRASTING VIVIDLY with the surrounding concrete, asphalt and often overcast skies of downtown Vancouver. Called “Persian Glass Series,” this breathtaking art installation in blown glass is the work of the artist Dale Chihuly, and it still brightens up the side of The Residences on Georgia building, for everyone to enjoy. Recently, Westbank development company and the City of Vancouver unveiled another plan for an ambitious public art project. This time they’re re-imagining the underside of the north side of Granville Bridge, currently a dingy and slightly scary place attracting only disgruntled people retrieving their towed vehicles. A giant chandelier will hang from the underside of the bridge, illuminating the planned shops and markets that will reside in triangular buildings aligning the base of the project, which is attached to a 47-storey curving landmark residential tower designed

by Danish architect Bjarke Ingels. There are also plans to showcase art in lightboxes running up and down the sides of the lower buildings.

Westbank’s head, Ian Gillespie, is a well-known art collector, who brings this

passion to many of Westbank’s past and future projects (including the Chihuly installation). Taking into account Gillespie, Bob Rennie, of Rennie Marketing Systems, and Michael Audain, of Polygon Homes, it’s a fact that many of Vancouver’s real estate titans are as famous for their art collections as they are for their development projects.

Bob Rennie became interested in accumulating art in the 1980s, beginning with a Norman Rockwell reproduction.

Despite an inauspicious start, Rennie’s collection, now housed in the Wing Sang building in Chinatown, has grown into one of the most important and carefully-curated collections of contemporary art in North America, with pieces continually on loan to such galleries as the Tate Modern. Visitors can make an appointment to view the Rennie Collection at Wing Sang through the website www.renniecollection.org.

Tours are conducted on Saturdays and Tuesdays, and admission is free.

Michael Audain recently entered into an agreement with the Municipality

of Whistler to open a 56,000 square-foot public art museum, exhibiting much of his personal collection, previously only on display in his private homes. The museum is scheduled for completion in 2015 and will feature, among other things, his extensive collection of nineteenth-century Northwest Coast masks, works by Emily Carr, and “Vancouver-school” photo-conceptualist artists including Jeff Wall and Stan Douglas.

But not all this art is confined to museums. “Public art” often conjures up images of bird poo-covered brass statues, or graffiti that people just decided to accept at some point. In the Lower Mainland there’s already lots of beauty surrounding us — mountains and ocean and forest and parks, and, because of art-appreciating municipal governments and real estate developers like Gillespie, Rennie and Audain, an increasing amount of public art. Art that is not always beautiful, but always interesting and thought-provoking. From Myfanwy McLeod’s “Birds” in Southeast False Creek to Stan Douglas’s “Gastown Riot” photo on the redeveloped Woodward’s site, public art comes in many forms and it’s making Metro Vancouver a more interesting place.

The city hall aspect is important, because even if a developer is not artisticallyinclined, Vancouver building permits require that for all rezoning applications over 100,000 square feet, $1.81 per square foot must be paid out for a public art process approved by the City. Developers have choices here: they can give the money directly to the city, which then directs it to a site and piece of art of its choosing; they can give 40 per cent of the money to the city, and then choose their own artist to provide a piece of art for a part of their property that is public; or they can take all of the money and hire a public art and development consultant to look at proposals for the property and then create a plan to be approved by the public art committee and the manager of the City’s Public Art Program. Richmond, Surrey, and many other municipalities have similar public art processes for developers.

Following are just some of the thought-provoking and inspiring works currently on display, as well as some we can expect to see in the near future.

Another of Westbank’s appreciable contribution to the public art scene in Metro Vancouver can be seen adorning the sides of Fairmont Pacific Rim. This piece is titled “lying on top of a building the clouds looked no nearer than when I was on the street” and was created by Liam Gillick. “Supernatural Eye” by Robert Davidson is currently on display at the Surrey Arts Centre, until it gets moved to Polygon’s Harvard Gardens upon its completion in 2015. Intracorp just announced the commission of “Shed” by Jacqueline Metz and Nancy Chew that will be displayed at their Silver building in Metrotown, and Cressey’s Meccanica building will host Cedrick Bomford’s

The city hall aspect is important, because even if a developer is not artistically-inclined, Vancouver building permits require that for all rezoning applications over 100,000 square feet, $1.81 per square foot must be paid out for a public art process approved by the City.

“Substation Pavillion”. “Coming Home,” graces Adera’s Remix project, and they have another work currently in creation, “Lamina Aqua” soon to be unveiled at seven35. Imani Development’s Shine did not commission any art, but being on South Main Street, in an area surrounded by artist studios, developer Payam Imani decided to invest in the work of local artists, and to display the art prominently in the building’s public areas.

In addition to sparking dialogue, and making public spaces more interesting, projects like these are also supporting a thriving artistic community here in the Lower Mainland, something we can all agree is an important aspect to being a world-class city, and great place to live.

And to those who don’t believe that people take notice of public art, we advise you to take a visit to “Dude Chilling Park.”

STORYBROOK South Burnaby charm // BY SUSAN M BOYCE

IT’S A WARM, SPRING AFTERNOON HERE AT STORYBROOK in South Burnaby’s Edmonds neighbourhood. A soft breeze rustles through the massive, old-growth cedars that surround the property.

Somewhere above us, a pair of robins is singing harmony with the distinctive music of Byrne Creek bubbling its way southward.

“When we bought this site, the creek was an underground culvert,” says Manuela Mirecki, Ledingham McAllister’s senior vice president of marketing and design. “We restored and enhance it, added landscaping, and then designed the building in an L-shape so almost every home has views of either the creek or the trees. That’s the ‘story’ part of the name Storybrook.”

Looking at the terraced gardens and patio areas that now surround the courtyard we’re standing in, it’s hard to imagine this as anything other than the lush, park-like setting I see now. Even the air here has a freshness I more typically associate with a country setting.

WELCOME HOME

With construction almost complete and move-in anticipated for this April, Storybrook’s unique character is emerging. The four-storey building appears to morph organically from the ground — an illusion enhanced by the many natural timber, brick and black metallic accents. Inside, this inviting sense of natural connection continues.

Kitchens are sophisticated and open with plenty of storage for your favourite culinary gadgets and gizmos — think gourmet dinners for friends and seasonal celebrations with your entire family.

“ M ANY OF OUR BUYERS SAY THEY’VE JUST BEEN WAITING FOR THE CHANCE TO BUY A NEW HOME HERE.” MANUELA MIRECKI

Sunshine pours through massive windows, and many upper homes boast dramatic, 10-foot living room ceilings. I’m also delighted to discover one-bedroom plans featuring an oh-so-intelligent design feature I seldom see — a cheater ensuite that leaves more space for rooms where I spend time during the day.

Oh, and here’s a cool extra. Some bedrooms even have the window-box seating I’ve always believed is the perfect place to curl up with a latté and a good book — of course, that’s when I’m not kicking back in a chaise lounge on the balcony.

“ A LMOST EVERY HOME HAS VIEWS OF EITHER THE CREEK OR THE TREES.” MANUELA MIRECKI

EXCEPTIONAL NEIGHBOURHOOD

“This is such a quiet, secluded part of the neighbourhood,” Manuela says. “Being a non-through street, you get very little traffic, but you’re still only a short walk to Kingsway, the SkyTrain and HighGate Centre for shopping.”

Local support, she adds, has been enthusiastic. “People are very loyal to this neighbourhood. Many of our buyers say they’ve just been waiting for the chance to buy a new home here. So they aren’t going to let this opportunity pass them by.”

Storybrook offers 71 one- and two-bedroom homes priced from the mid $200,000s. Grand opening of the presentation center and display homes takes place March 29th at 7131 Stride Ave. in Burnaby. For more information and to priority register, visit ledmac.com/storybrook or call 604.528.8906

CONDO PROFILE

CENTREBLOCK AT UNIVERCITY Find your centre at the top of Burnaby Mountain // BY JANINE MACKIE

b

eautiful homes in a fantastic community at great prices.

“It’s a buyer’s trifecta,” says Jesse Nobbs-Thiessen, Liberty Homes’ director as he describes CentreBlock, their third contribution to UniverCity, a celebrated new community taking shape at the top of Burnaby Mountain beside Simon Fraser University.

Now selling, CentreBlock features 26 three-storey townhomes, and 158 apartments distributed between a seven-storey concrete midrise and a 17-storey tower with commercial units on the first two floors.

With completion scheduled for October 2016, homebuyers and investors alike have the opportunity to purchase at attractive presale pricing starting from $275,900 for a one-bedroom apartment, from $370,900 for a two-bedroom apartment and from $499,900 for a threebedroom townhome.

While initially the core market was parents buying for their children who would be attending SFU, Nobbs-Thiessen has seen the tides change as the community matures. Today more young couples are buying here as well as empty-nesters looking for homes of their own.

“This goal is to create a complete community with a balanced resident base,” says Nobbs-Thiessen.

“UniverCity is designed for wide appeal, offering a range of homes from small studios for student renters to large three-bedroom townhomes for young families.”

Investors also have their pulse on this community, drawn to a formula that sounds simple: Burnaby apartment prices for Vancouver rents.

“SFU generates a substantial and constant rental demand that is equivalent to the downtown market,” says Nobbs-Thiessen.

Trumping both the price and the contemporary finishes – natural hardwood floors, composite stone counters and warm white or grey colour schemes, is the setting. With mountaintop views and quiet streets, UniverCity feels like a place you’ll want to live in.

Residents have full access to facilities on the SFU campus from athletic and aquatic centre to library and art gallery. A recreational paradise, residents can simply step outside and take a deep breath of fresh air.

Enjoy a vigorous hike, a leisurely stroll or a heartpumping bike ride along a network of 22 multi-use trails covering 23 kilometres criss-crossing the 576 hectares within the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area. The community is well served with an elementary school, childcare centre, grocery market and public transit with the Production Way Skytrain Station at the foot of the hill.

“Being centred” looks good on you! Now selling, CentreBlock’s Presentation Centre is located at 8955 University High St. in Burnaby, open noon to 5p.m. More information at 778.331.0348 or libertyhomes.ca.

THE CENTRE OF THE NEW FALSE CREEK WATERFRONT COMMUNITY Residences at WEST Phase One quickly selling, Phase Two coming soon

s

// BY STEPHANIE MACDONALD

outheast False Creek’s extraordinary transformation becomes complete with the spectacular Residences at WEST. From the bustling industrial past, to the excitement of Expo ’86, and through a carefully considered civic planning process culminating in the Olympic Village, WEST is the icing on the cake of this vibrant and exciting waterfront community. Southeast False Creek has it all — the ocean, mountain views, the sea wall, community centres — and is within easy walking distance or a quick jaunt on the Aquabus to downtown, Granville Island and transit to everywhere. Everything you need and everywhere you want to be is right at your doorstep, in this striking landmark building that looks as good on this inside as it does on the outside.

Street level retail shops and restaurants developed as part of the Shops at WEST contribute to WEST’s appeal for not only residents, but for people from surrounding areas. The Shops at West are the largest retail component in the Village neighbourhood, providing for over 43,000 square feet of shops and restaurants including The Flying Pig. This trendy staple in the Gastown and Yaletown restaurant/pub scenes is soaring over to open their latest location in WEST, adding to the terrific dining opportunities of the Village that include Craft Beer Market, Terra Breads Café, JJ Bean and Tap and Barrel, all within a couple of blocks.

The walkability of the neighbourhood and access to amenities like Urban Fare, London Drugs and the Legacy Liquor Store is overshadowed by WEST’s

eye-catching contemporary architecture by renowned architect Walter Francl, which is complemented by comfortable and modern interiors that invite you in and beg you to forget all the excitement enticing you outside.

The design of the 189 homes in Phase One of the Residences at WEST is distinctively West Coast — open and airy, with floor to ceiling windows to showcase the beauty of Vancouver and provide abundant natural light.

Deluxe extras like quartz countertops, European appliances and custom millwork complete this sophisticated urban oasis.

“The City gets some credit for the sustainability and vibrancy of this neighbourhood,” says WEST’s Sales Manager James Goodwin, “the planning of this area was very successful. But most of the positive response we’ve had is a result of our really competitive pricing and cutting edge design, especially compared to downtown.” Adding to the affordability are the relatively low monthly condo fees, despite the building having a full gym and a comfortable and stylish entertaining lounge.

To fit in with the sustainable ethos of Southeast False Creek, the building has been designed to LEED Silver standards, including a green roof and rainwater systems, a car share program, parking for electric vehicles and ample bike storage.

Several amazing and affordable home purchase options in Phase 1 remain with a scheduled completion date of Fall 2014. The Residences at WEST Phase Two is launching soon and pre registration is starting now.

Of course, The Anchor also has studio and one-bedroom homes ideal for first time buyers.

And no matter what size you prefer, you can expect excellent finishings including Kitchen Aid Architect II series appliances, sizable balconies, and roof decks.

“ PEOPLE WHO ARE BUYING HERE SEE THE LONG-TERM VALUE OF BEING PART OF THIS NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD.”

cean views, extra-spacious floorplans, plus proximity to the outdoor recreation and amenities of the coveted North Vancouver lifestyle. Sound like the best of all worlds? If you’re like many of the folks who’ve been waiting for the opportunity to have it all, your chance is here.

Say hello to The Anchor — seven storeys of boutique residences in a concrete building situated in the heart of Lower Lonsdale.

SPACE TO SAVOUR

“The Anchor has been extremely well received by local buyers, especially people who want to downsize and stay in the neighbourhood,” says Cristy Edmonds, vice president of rareEarth Project Marketing. “But what they want are larger homes. So to meet this market demand, we redesigned some of the suites — sometimes actually combining two homes into a single suite.”

The results are spectacular. “We now have homes offering as much as 1,700 square feet of sophisticated living space,” Cristy says.

“And because we understand people want a say in how their home is designed, when you purchase early we allow many customization options. Most developments only let you pick between one of two

Life at The Anchor also includes an everexpanding smorgasbord of activities awaiting exploration right outside your front door. From flower stores and coffee baristas, to fashion boutiques, art galleries, and an array of ethnic restaurants that bring global cuisines to your taste buds, Lower Lonsdale has it all.

“The City of North Vancouver has a fantastic vision for Lonsdale and the shipyard area,” Cristy says. “In three to five years, the entire neighbourhood is going to have a totally different feel. It’s no longer going to be just ‘the place across the water from downtown Vancouver.’ This is going to become a destination in its own right.

People who are buying here see the long-term value of being part of this new neighbourhood.

We’ve even had one couple purchase a large home for themselves and another for their son.”

The Anchor offers 56 homes ranging from studios to three-bedrooms, priced from $369,900. Presentation centre and display home open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 131 East 3rd St. in North Vancouver.

Follow these steps to see if you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream condo 01 Calculate the combined monthly before-tax income of you and your spouse.

02 Divide by three. This figure is the monthly payment you can afford to make on your condo.

03 Take the total price of the condo and subtract the amount of money you expect to make as a down payment.

This is the money you will have to borrow.

04 Refer to the chart on the opposite page. Look down the left column and locate the interest rate you expect to pay. Line this up with the amortization period of your choice. (Most first-time buyers take the 25-year amortization.)

05 Multiply this figure by the amount you need to borrow.

Divide by 1,000.

06 Add to this your estimated monthly heating costs and monthly property taxes.

07 If this figure is equal to or less than one-third of your gross monthly income (calculated in Step 2), you’ll qualify for a mortgage on your dream condo.

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.
