Are there one too many empty rooms where you currently live? Perhaps you’re imagining what life would be like if you didn’t have to worry about chores such as gardening, raking the leaves and exteriors that need painting. There is so much to be gained in your lifestyle when you decide to downsize into a strata suite. Lifestyle opportunities abound in a highrise, and you won’t have to sacrifice any lowrise luxuries to get them. In fact, by becoming a strata dweller, you may find you have even more time to enjoy them than before!

The fact that all of the fixtures and appliances in your suite are brand new, and all of the common areas, interior amenity spaces, exterior landscaping and facilities are taken care of means less work for you and more time to enjoy it all. Buying into a strata development is a serious decision, and a significant investment, so it is imperative that you do your homework and research the market so you can be confident that you’re getting the best developer and the most value for your money. Let us know what you think of this issue. We’d love to hear from you!

If you’re planning on investing in real estate and haven’t yet assessed your finances, now is the time to do so. Not only will you be financing your condo purchase, but you’ll also have to keep in mind all the costs that crop up day to day: vacations, dinners out, a gym membership or a shoe fetish can add a some weight to your bottom line. It’s also a good idea to expect the unexpected: dental surgery, car breakdowns or a loss of employment can throw a huge wrench in your plans if your budget is too tight. It’s a

good idea to have three months’ worth of living expenses in case of an emergency, just to be safe. You’ll also want to have enough money in the bank to allow for moving expenses, legal fees and the fun part of taking possession of a new condo: furnishing and decorating it! If you take all of these considerations into your budget plan, you’ll likely find that making the leap into purchasing property is much less nerve-wracking and much more the well-thought out investment it should be.

Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park Modern Living: Heritage Neighbourhood // by Susan M Boyce

It’s been a while since I had an

opportunity to visit Maillardville, although I’ve always loved the charm and historic character of this Coquitlam neighbourhood. So today’s visit is going to be particularly interesting because today I’m getting a sneak peak inside Bluetree Homes’ hot new condominium community: Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park. Over the past few months, the first of Mackin Park’s two buildings has sprung out of the ground with the roof now almost complete. It’s an engaging structure

with staggered balconies, mullioned windows and a distinctly fun-loving interaction with the local streetscape. There’s already a sensation this building simply belongs here. At street level, the outline of what will ultimately become trendy retail and perhaps a coffee shop or other eatery is now clearly visible. The ceilings soar 20-something feet above and it’s clear there’s space for some serious, summertime patio space. “This building will be a new landmark for the neighbourhood,” says Yosh Kasahara, Bluetree’s general manager of sales and marketing, who’s just arrived ready to be my tour guide. Knowing my addiction to a good cuppajoe, he adds, “Can’t you imagine walking out your front door on a weekend and snagging a latté without even having to get out of your PJs?” I just laugh — the thought had already crossed my mind. Still, it’s the homes themselves I can’t wait to see — even now with just the framing up inside. Yosh hands me the requisite hardhat and we’re on our way. Amazing Spaces We meet up with Tony Govic, Mackin Park’s sales manager, in one of Mackin Park’s two-bedroom and den suites on the first floor. At 1,028-sq.-ft. it’s got an inviting openness — lots of room for full-sized furniture. “And check out the view,” Tony says opening the patio door. We step onto the balcony, and

10/10/13 6:49:18 PM

Shop-aholic Option

the word “amazing” comes to mind. From the Port Mann all the way to the Patullo Bridge, you can see it all — and we aren’t even on the top floor yet. We continue our tour, taking in a one-bedroom with 11x10-ft. den — yes, that’s larger than some second bedrooms I’ve seen in other places — with direct access to what will become a lushly landscaped courtyard separating the two buildings and a 790-sq.-ft. junior two-bedroom that would be perfect for downsizers or a parent with a child who’s only home part time. At last, we arrive at the penthouse level where we’re able to experience the very best of Mackin Park’s views — unobstructed panoramas of the Fraser River, Mount Baker and the surrounding neighbourhood. “And because all our balconies are covered, you’ll be able to use them year round,” Tony says. You betcha — just bundle up in winter, add a steaming hot chocolate and enjoy some dazzling river sunsets. Heaven.

DIY Option

Make It Your Own Before we head back downstairs, Yosh has one final surprise for me. “We know people have different priorities, so until December, we’re offering a special program we’re calling Customize Your Space.” He points to an almost six-by-eight den between the kitchen and living room. “For people who need a home office, the ‘Work-aholic’ option, we keep this as is and offer them a $2,000 decorating allowance to set up the space so it perfectly matches their working style. Or we could flip it around so it becomes a walk-in closet off the bedroom — that would be for the ‘Shop-aholic’ — people with say 200 pairs of shoes or more clothes than they know what to do with,” he says grinning at my look of disbelief. For homeowners who love having friends over for wine and food, the answer is the ‘Entertainer’ configuration — half closet in the bedroom, half built-in buffet and storage: think aspiring sommelier and you’ll get the idea. “Or if you’re a confirmed DIYer with a passion for collecting things like books or records, we’ll show you how to build the perfect storage and display for your treasures with our ‘DIY’ option,” Yosh says. It’s such a clever idea, I can’t image why no one’s ever thought of it before. But for Bluetree Homes, it’s just another way they design from the inside out — great homes, great neighbourhood, amazing builder. What more could you want from your home? Bluetree Homes at Mackin Park is located at Brunette Ave. and Le Bleu St. in Coquitlam. The sales centre is open daily noon to 5 p.m. (closed Thursday and Friday) at 211 – 1020 Austin Ave. in Coquitlam. For more information visit bluetreehomes.ca or call 604.939.8874.

Regan’s Walk A step ahead of the rest // by Susan M Boyce

eady, set, go… as in go anywhere. Why? Because Regan’s Walk is now selling, and if you’re looking for a great location in one of West Coquitlam’s most exciting new neighbourhoods, this could be it.

Connected and Walkable

“This is an amazingly walkable, accessible neighbourhood,” says sales manager Celia Chiu. “There’s a ton of shopping and restaurants right outside your door plus more coming — including a 50,000 sq. ft. Safeway. There’s a proposed brand new community rec centre nearby, and of course, you can be at Lougheed Town Centre in no time.” And when you want to talk transit, Regan’s Walk will be poised for maximum accessibility. “When the new Evergreen Station opens, you’ll be about a three-minute, easy stroll away,” Celia says. “Ask any commuter and they’ll tell you the SkyTrain is always faster than a regular bus because it never gets caught in traffic congestion. And something people tend to forget is that this new line will not only connect you to downtown Vancouver, but it will be a straight run through to the Coquitlam campus of Douglas College as well.”

depth fridges are also a hit with people who love to cook and entertain. Details that make the difference are everywhere: premium flooring, covered balconies or patios for year-round enjoyment and plenty of big, bright windows. Bedrooms are large too — most easily fitting a king-sized bed. And be sure to check out the floating vanity’s under-cabinet lighting in the ensuite. Say Hello to Quality

“Marcon has been building in the Lower Mainland for over 28 years and has built more than 8,500 homes,” Celia says. “So you know you’re getting trusted quality backed by a solid reputation. You can see it in all the small details — things like 2x6 construction, HardiPlank siding in combination with vinyl siding and fir plywood subfloor with 1.5-inch concrete topping. It all means you’re getting a building that will stand the test of time.” Regan’s Walk offers a total of 71 apartment residences ranging from one- to three-bedroom. Priced from

$199,900. Sales centre open noon to 5 p.m.

Inside and out, Regan’s Walk is designed with comfort in mind. “Our kitchens are carefully thought out to give you exceptional storage,” Celia explains. “Most even have a pantry wall with the convenience of a built-in microwave and USB charging station.” She adds the Fisher&Paykel counter-

A Shipping Container’s Second Life

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.

movement via cranes and lifts takes a toll of these containers. As a result, shipping containers are thought to have a useful sea life of 10-15 years. However, with proper maintenance these structures are remarkably hardy and resilient. By recycling and repurposing shipping containers, they can continue to work for us as both shelter and structural support. More good news? It is estimated that there are 24 million vacant shipping containers in the world. Repurposing them is also good for the environment. The shipping containers were stacked both horizontally and vertically on the site in an off-set orientation. Select walls were knocked out to allow for an open-concept, albeit very compact, self-contained home. Once finished, each home is approximately 280 – 290 square feet. Once you add a few basic furniture items, they do indeed feel like home. Atira initiated this project to provide additional housing to women and children who are experiencing the impact of domestic violence. They form partnerships between other female community members to instill a sense of community, volunteerism and mentorship. It is an incredible organization with an admirable mission statement, (www.atira.bc.ca) and they were kind enough to host a tour of the project for members of the Urban Development Institute. Leading Vancouver developers are keenly learning and planning how container homes could be purchased and sold in the future - just like any other home.

he Atira Housing Society made waves in the real estate industry this summer with the debut of the first Container Housing in the city of Vancouver. This pilot project was an ambitious foray into exploring alternative solutions to a real estate market that is increasingly challenged by affordability. One might wonder how something as utilitarian and industrial as a shipping container could evolve into a cozy home. However, we learned that these structures are the perfect substitute to traditional structural support systems, such as wood-frame or concrete. Exposure to ocean salt, wind, heavy loads and continuous

Grand Opening October 26

// By susan m boyce

t’s coming soon to one of the North Shore’s most dynamic neighbourhoods. Seven storeys of concrete condominiums with attitude, elegance and great views. Introducing The Anchor. “The Anchor is like having the best of all worlds,” says James Askew, president of rareEarth Project Marketing. “Because it’s a

smaller, boutique-style residence, it’s going to feel more intimate and friendly than a highrise, but you’ll still get all the benefits and peace of mind that come with concrete construction — superior soundproofing, durability with low maintenance, as well as excellent long term value.” Amazing Outlook The Anchor, James adds, will also have some of the finest views in Lower Lonsdale. “Because we’re located on a slope, many of these homes will have dramatic views of the Vancouver skyline, Stanley Park and North Shore Mountains. No matter where you live in the building, you can grab a drink and something to pop on the barbeque, and then head up to the rooftop deck for the sunsets and spectacular downtown views.” Lovable Lonsdale Life at The Anchor includes a 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

Conference Board of Canada:

Western Cities Lead Economic Growth Again in 2013 ›› W estern Canadian cities — Saskatoon, Regina, Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver — will occupy the top five rankings in this edition of the Metropolitan Outlook. ›› The remaining eight Census Metropolitan Areas in this forecast can expect growth in real GDP of less than two per cent in 2013. ›› A decline in manufacturing and weak services sectors will hold back growth in Toronto, Montreal and Hamilton. ›› Public sector austerity will hold back the economic outlooks for Ottawa-Gatineau and Victoria. Thanks to strength in the goods producing sector, Saskatoon’s economy will expand by a significant 5.2 per cent in 2013, before easing to a still-strong 3.5 per cent in 2014. The city’s employment, which rose a robust 4.7 per cent in 2012, is expected to grow by an even stronger 6.1 per cent this year. Following real gross domestic product (GDP) growth above five per cent in two of the last three years, Regina’s economy will also continue to expand at a brisk pace. Regina’s economy will grow by five per cent this year and 3.9 per cent in 2014. Meanwhile, energy-related investment in Alberta continues to drive gains in Edmonton’s construction, primary and manufacturing sectors. Edmonton’s economic growth is expected to come in at a solid 4.2 per cent in 2013. Calgary’s economy will moderate considerably in 2013, mostly as a result of the floods that hit the region this past summer. Even so, healthy gains in the goods sector will make up for an anticipated slowdown in the services sector. After growing by 4.3 per cent in 2012, real GDP in Calgary will increase by 3.3 per cent this year and improve slightly to 3.4 per cent next year. Real GDP in Vancouver is expected to increase by only 2.2 per cent this year, due to slowdowns in both the manufacturing and construction sectors. A rebound in primary and utilities output will help Halifax’s economy grow by 1.7 per cent in 2013, an improvement over the one per cent gain recorded in 2012. A decline in manufacturing and a weak services sector will limit Toronto’s real GDP growth to 1.6 per cent in 2013. In 2014, improved global economic conditions will drive demand

for manufactured goods, boosting the economy by 2.7 per cent. Winnipeg’s economy is expected to expand by a modest 1.4 per cent in 2013, hampered by weak growth in manufacturing and slow employment gains. Montréal, Québec City, and Hamilton can all expect growth of 1.3 per cent in 2013. Montréal and Hamilton are both facing drops in manufacturing output and slow growth in the services sector, while weakness in the public sector is hampering Québec City’s economy. Government austerity will also hold back growth in Ottawa-Gatineau and Victoria. Ottawa-Gatineau’s economy is on track to expand by only 0.8 per cent in 2013, as it continues to feel the pinch of federal government belttightening. Public administration employment is headed for its biggest decline on record, tumbling by 7.5 per cent this year. The Ottawa CMA’s outlook is expected to improve next year — both real GDP and job growth are forecast to reach 1.6 per cent. The public sector’s outlook is also the main story in Victoria. Overall real GDP growth is expected to be flat in 2013, coming in at just 0.1 per cent. For more information contact dowdall@conferenceboard.ca

Building Excitement at

Opsal in False Creek South // By diane duflot

he buzz about Opsal’s presentation centre the day that I’m there alerts me to the fact that I’m on the verge of something big. As I look around, I try to put my finger on what’s creating the palpable feeling of excitement here. While I wait for Deren Akinci, marketing manager at Bastion Development, to show me around the False Creek South presentation centre, I hear rumours of what will fill the retail spaces at ground level. It’s too soon to make any announcements, but suffice it to say that life in the neighbourhood will soon be getting richer. The excitement here, however, is about more that the retail operations that Opsal will bring to the area. It’s also about more than the views, although these are spectacular. A panoramic at the entranceway shows off the breathtaking view to the Northwest, with the majestic North Shore Mountains in the distance. At 26 floors, this is the tallest building in the area, and fantastic 360-degree views, that Deren calls “the best in False Creek South,” are the result. Since the new building towers above the heritage Opsal Steel building, an important local landmark that Bastion has carefully preserved as part of the new site, buyers can rest assured that these fantastic views won’t be obstructed by another tower. The excitement here is not even the result of the eye-catching juxtaposition of the century old steel barn (replete with original gantry crane on display in one of the commercial spaces) with IBI Architects’ ultra-modern tower with balconies that jut out at angles to create an intriguing zipper effect. Nor is it the well-thought-out interiors at Opsal, though these are worth mentioning. For starters, every suite has eight-and-a-half foot ceilings. To boot, all units have open kitchen/ dining/ living areas perfect for entertaining. For those who prefer the even more openness, some plans offer the option of a Riviera door partition between the second bedroom and the living room. The list of features here is also impressive: for a limited time (as the building nears

completion) buyers can choose from two designer-selected colour schemes: Carbon and Titanium. There’s gorgeous laminate hardwood flooring throughout all living areas and comfort heated ensuite bathroom floors. The kitchens have Caesarstone countertops with glass tile backsplashes, recessed pot lighting, under cabinet task lighting and soft-close drawers. But it’s not these luxury features that are creating the anticipation here either. So what is it that’s generating this sense of excitement at Opsal? It’s all of these things, of course, and so much more: there’s a sense of community building here that will only multiply once people begin to occupy these spaces. That’s the real excitement here, and Deren hits the nail on the head: “This neighbourhood has really evolved into a community. More residents in the neighbourhood have brought more amenities, including the Tap and Barrel and Legacy Liquor store, and there’s so much more to come.” That’s it. So much more to come. Lives will be built here, connections will be made between them. On a site that already holds so much history, there’s clearly so much history yet to be made. Opsal is 80% sold, so don’t delay your visit to the presentation centre at 97 East 2nd Ave., open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays.

KERRISDALE GARDENS The art of living // BY SUSAN M BOYCE

errisdale. There’s an undisputed cache to the Westside neighbourhood that first came to prominence as Kerry’s Dale, an important stop on the BC Electric Railway’s Interurban line. Today, Kerrisdale is a friendly, diverse neighbourhood filled with one-of-a-kind retail, some of Metro Vancouver’s finest coffee shops, and a welcoming ambiance that one retired City engineer described as “a place I just can’t help coming back to.” And if you’re one of the people who can’t resist Kerrisdale, here’s some news guaranteed to get your heart beating a little faster. Kerrisdale Gardens is now under construction and booking private, VIP preview appointments. Experience the New Kerrisdale To say response to this four-storey residence has been overwhelmingly positive would be classic understatement. “The day we put up our first signs around the site, people started calling to ask when they could take a look,” says sales consultant Bill Szeto. “This is the first new condominium residence in Kerrisdale for many years, so there’s a lot of pent up demand.” But even without that distinction, Kerrisdale Gardens’ unique character and design set it far apart

from the crowd. Bill’s smile is pure enthusiasm as he shares just a few hints about this collaboration between the award winning team of Riesco & Lapres Interior Design and Allan Diamond Architect. “First of all, these 26 homes are designed large so they feel more like a single-family home than a condominium — some up to 1,300 square feet,” he says. Next add in features like a fully integrated, Italian Fhiaba refrigerator, Calacatta marble countertops in bathrooms and ensuites, plus an innovative bookshelf-style divider between the kitchen and dining room, and you’ve got a definitive showcase of the new Kerrisdale. “It’s a very contemporary, cutting edge look that still honours the best of this neighbourhood’s unique heritage.” Meet the Neighbours Like Kerrisdale itself, Kerrisdale Gardens is attracting a diverse group of buyers who simply love being part of the ’hood. “We’ve seen couples who want to downsize into the luxury of lock’n’go living, parents and grandparents helping their adult children buy a home that’s close enough to enjoy family gatherings and holidays, and even a woman who’s planning to buy one suite for herself and another for her kids,” Bill says. “It’s all going to make this an amazing addition to the neighbourhood.” Kerrisdale Gardens is located at 2128 West 40th Avenue in Vancouver. Sales anticipated to begin this November with presale prices starting in the mid $400,000s for a one-bedroom or the mid $600,000s for a two-bedroom. To book your private appointment to learn more, visit kerrisdalegardens.com or call 604.559.9848.

And we’re just finalizing details for a 4,000sq.-ft. restaurant that will be the third location for one of downtown Vancouver’s trendiest eateries.” GET WHERE YOU WANT TO GO

A vibe that says: this is a cool, dynamic neighbourhood that attracts cool, dynamic people. “The success of this neighbourhood is more evident every day,” says Craig Anderson, director of marketing and sales at The Residences at West. “There’s always something going on in the plaza, you’ll see people cycling or rollerblading along the Seawall, and the much-anticipated opening of Craft Beer Garden in the historic Salt Building is imminent — local foods and 140 beers on tap. The vibe has definitely arrived.” And West is right on the leading edge of that arrival. ICONIC VANCOUVER

“The City of Vancouver was adamant this building had to be ‘non-typical’ because it’s located on such an important corner,” Craig says gesturing to where West’s first floors are beginning to peek above the construction fencing. “We’re just under a year away from completion and you can really start to see some of

If you’re one of the folks who uses two wheels, two feet, or transit as their preferred methods of transportation, you’re going to love West’s location. “We’re equidistant from the Canada Line and the Main Street SkyTrain Stations,” Craig says. “Right outside the building you’ll be able to hop on the 84 Express bus to UBC, and when you’re heading toward Yaletown or Granville Island, there’s always the AquaBus if you don’t feel like walking.” The Residences at West presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. every day at 195 West 2nd Ave. (at Columbia). Choose from a good selection of one-bedroom, one and den, or two-bedroom floorplans with prices starting below $300,000. Be sure to ask about West’s new mortgage incentive — your opportunity to pay just 1.49 per cent interest for two years. Sales Centre located at 195 West 2nd Ave is open daily noon to 5 p.m. For more information about The Residences at West, visit liveatwest.com or call 604.707.WEST.

CONDO PROFILE

3 CIVIC PLAZA

Surrey’s new international downtown // BY SUSAN M BOYCE

t’s been described as the Lower Mainland’s hottest new downtown and a unique statement of forward thinking design: a sophisticated urban core with exceptional walkability, fashion-forward retail, restaurants to keep your taste buds on permanent high alert, and an ever-expanding array of employment opportunities. The place is Surrey City Centre. And whatever it is that makes you say “oh wow, this is where I want to live,” 3 Civic Plaza is poised to put you right in the heart of this dynamic new downtown core. Buyers in the know are clearly enthused about this new opportunity. Since sales began in May, over half the homes released have sold — representing an astonishing $50,000,000 in sales revenue. Many were sold at record-breaking prices per square foot — including a dazzling penthouse sporting a $1,300,000 price tag that was snapped within less than a month. THERE IS ONLY ONE A shimmering 52-storey tower that integrates

luxury residential, a world-class hotel, and much-needed office space, 3 Civic Plaza has plenty of features that make it stand out in the market. Not only is this Surrey’s first luxury hotel and residences, when complete 3 Civic Plaza will be the tallest residential building south of the Fraser River and the second tallest anywhere in Metro Vancouver — only Shangri-La is currently higher. 3 Civic Plaza will also lay claim to being

Surrey’s only private/public structure located directly on a SkyTrain station in the city’s new civic plaza. Floorplans are diverse with a significant number boasting more than 1,000 sq. ft. of thoughtfully planned, elegantly appointed living space. Plus, since 3 Civic Plaza’s private residences start at the 15th floor, owners will find exceptional views are all part of the lifestyle.

VISION TO REALITY “The City of Surrey has already invested more than

a billion dollars into residential, commercial, and infrastructure as part of the Mayor’s plan to reinvent this new downtown core,” says Scott Brown, Collier International’s senior vice president of residential marketing services. “This level of public financial support, the strong partnership between Century Group and the Surrey City Development Corporation, plus the Mayor’s vision to include a hotel on the civic plaza, all contribute to 3 Civic Plaza’s status as a truly one-of-a-kind opportunity.” And that’s no idle boast. “The proof is in the premium,” Scott says. “The fact 3 Civic Plaza sold 50 per cent of the homes in our first release within two months of opening shows Surrey is well on its way to becoming a true international city. It’s evolving into an urban hub that’s demanding this type of exclusive, prestigious offering. After all, how often do you have an opportunity to buy into a brand new city centre?” Market response, he adds, has been especially strong from the sophisticated downsizer market. “A recent survey indicated over 65 per cent of these purchasers plan to use these homes for their primary residence. It’s rare to see this group as active during the initial launch campaign and has truly validated Century Group’s vision for this new address.”

The 5,500-sq.-ft. presentation centre and two display homes is open 1-6 p.m. Monday through Thursday and weekends noon to 5 p.m. at 10277

STYLISH AND CONNECTED 3 Civic Plaza offers a total of 353 premium

residences located just south of 104th Ave. on City Parkway (next to the Surrey Central SkyTrain Station and easy walking distance to the new City Hall, SFU campus, Holland Park, and Surrey Memorial Hospital).

King George Blvd. Be sure to inquire about preconstruction pricing — one-bedrooms from the low-$200,000s. For more information, visit 3CivicPlaza.ca or call 604.951.3331.

Eye-Popping Style

Lingo Living homes bring city-chic to Cloverdale

omebuyers can’t believe their eyes. The boutique hotel-style condos at Lingo Living in Cloverdale are so fresh and stylish they seem to belong in the heart of the city. You don’t even need a car if you live here. Grocery shopping is steps away at the IGA Marketplace on 56A. So are Shopper’s Drug Mart and a variety of banks and restaurants. The bus stops right outside Lingo and will take you directly to the Skytrain during rush hours so living car-free is a real option. You do get a secured parking spot, however. It’s a great location and the cool interiors of these 29 one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus den greencertified homes leave viewers awestruck. “It’s very sharp looking,” says sales manager Arthur Simon. “It’s quite sexy inside. Very cozy, very elegant. It’s not a fuddy-duddy building.” The contemporary look is rare in Cloverdale, he says, adding the homes come fully loaded with everything you need to move in. You’ll find stainless appliances including washer and dryer, a lovely 58 metro vancouver new Condo Guide oct 18 - nov 1, 2013

It’s a great location and the cool interiors of these 29 one-bedroom and one-bedroom plus den greencertified homes leave viewers awestruck. electric fireplace with a mantel that can hold your flat screen TV and modern light fixtures all included in the low price. You can move in as soon as you’re ready. The kitchen features soft-closing custom cabinets that are designed for maximum storage, the dual stainless sinks come with a single lever faucet and pull-out spray nozzle and the generous island counters are quartz-topped. The rich tones of the low-maintenance laminate flooring coordinate beautifully with the cabinets making for a very chic look. The bathrooms perfectly combine form and function. The tub/ shower combo comes with a fully tiled surround and clear glass door, the under-mounted sink and quartz counter tops drawers and cabinets and large porcelain tiles adorn the floor. The cool thing about these condos is the how well laid out they are. Averaging 750 sq ft, they seem much bigger. Seven of the units have already sold with about half of them going to young couples buying their first home. Singles are particularly drawn to them. “They say things like: it looks like a condo in Downtown and Arthur replies: “it is downtown, downtown Cloverdale.” They also love the prices, which start at $159,900 for a studio. The top floor 2-bedroom penthouse can be yours for just $239,900 and most come in around $200,000 including GST and the two percent transition tax imposed by the government. “That works out to about $4,000 in savings on a $200,000 home,” says Simon. It’s no wonder buyers can’t believe their eyes. The Lingo Living sales centre is located at 5665 177B Street in Surrey.

Delta Rise Delta living soars to new heights

hings are really looking up for residents of North Delta. Thirty-seven storeys up. Presales will begin soon for homes in Delta Rise, Delta’s first high-rise. Finally, residents who have grown up south of the Fraser have the opportunity to comfortably live out their lives in their community. “This project speaks volumes about the type of development that can emerge through innovative policy and determination,” said Delta Chief Administrative Officer George Harvie on behalf of Mayor Lois Jackson, at a ribbon-cutting event Oct 2. Delta Rise will create 317 new homes within its 37

floors, offering spectacular views, expansive covered decks, large, modern kitchens and fantastic amenities. It will be perfect for downsizers who want to avoid stairs but remain connected to their communities. Young families will love it for its spaciousness, sound proofing and proximity to schools and first time buyers will see a way into the market they never thought possible in their home community. Delta residents love Delta, says Satish Sharma, principal of Blexo Developments. If they grew up here, they want to stay here. They feel safe here because Delta has its own police force and Delta has very low property taxes to boot. But single-family dwellings are too pricey for young buyers and too difficult to navigate and maintain for older ones. “We have tried very hard to create options for everyone,” says Sharma, adding that the decks are half the size of some Vancouver apartments. “It’s really about outdoor living here.” The building also features a half-acre rooftop park with barbeque space, a putting green, winding brook, outdoor fitness area, seating area with amazing views and an open lawn and meditative area for activities like yoga. There is also a children’s playground. Inside amenities include a media/entertainment room, library, business workspace, workshop area, storage and secured parking and a concierge service. In the lobby, there will be a coffee shop where residents can meet friends, or just enjoy a cuppa on a sofa with the paper. “The coffee shop will become a meeting place,” predicts Sharma. The building, at the corner of Scott Road and 80th Ave, is also very well situated to take advantage of the retail businesses and services nearby. Adjoining the property is the Delta Shopping Mall with a Superstore, banks, restaurants such as The Keg, Cactus Club and a variety of ethnic food offerings. A community bus will pick seniors up from the front of the building and take them to the Kennedy Seniors Centre. The newly revamped North Delta Rec Centre is minutes away. Delta Rise is expected to revitalize the Scott Road corridor and there is no question it is off to a great start. Prices start at $189,000 for a one-bedroom home. Two bedrooms start from $234,900.

typically find in a townhouse, but you’re getting it at condo prices and with the convenience of single-level living.”

“ M anarola is, quite simply, the best priced condominium development in the Surrey/ Langley area.” Carol Hunt

Manarola

Style. Design. Home. // By Susan M Boyce

here’s nothing quite like building on success. Which is exactly what you’ll discover happening at Manarola in Fleetwood — long known as one of Surrey’s most popular, vivacious neighbourhoods. The third in a dynamic trio of condominium residences by The Pioneer Group, Manarola is a boutique collection of just 51 sizzling apartment homes with upscale finishings plus an attention-grabbing location. Hot Prices, Cool Apartments

“Manarola is, quite simply, the best priced condominium development in the Surrey/Langley area — especially now with our Octoberfest Bonus,” Carol says. “For the next six homes only, we’ll not only pay the net GST as well as your first year of strata fees, we’ll upgrade your flooring, appliances, and the medicine cabinets in the bathroom plus include a security system. And on top of that, we’ll give you an addition $5,000 decorating allowance to further personalize your space. So why would you want to rent?” And make no mistake, these homes are packed with the features today’s savvy homeowners want. The ambiance is distinctly stylish and contemporary — quartz counters, laminate flooring throughout main living areas and ultra-efficient floorplans with plenty of big, bright windows. “Our finishings are definitely above the norm,” Carol says. “Plus we’ve got great outdoor spaces — some of our second-floor terrace homes have private decks as large as 33x23 feet. That’s the kind of outdoor space you’d

And here’s a cool bonus: many Manarola homes come with unobstructed views across the Fraser Valley all the way to the North Shore Mountains. Designed to Satisfy

“Vernazza, our first building on this site, was extremely well received and just keeps looking better as it matures,” Carol says gesturing at the lush landscaping on the far side of the property. “For our second building, Monterosso, we naturally tweaked and fine-tuned the things buyers told us they liked best. For Manarola, we’ve honed our floorplans and designs even further, so it truly is the best of the best.” The Manarola presentation centre is open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 8695 – 160th St. in Surrey. Be sure to watch for the brand new, fully furnished display suite, coming soon onsite. For more information, visit manarolahomes.com or call 604.825.1038.

Salix

Sophisticated style: Timeless value // By Susan M Boyce

ig, bright, and beautiful, Salix has a brand new display suite. And if you’re one of the folks who’s been waiting to truly experience these Willowbrook homes, that spells “good news.” “We’ve been waiting for this for a long time,” says a clearly delighted Rob Carlsen, sales manager. “People have been so impressed with the presentation centre, but now they can actually get inside the building, it’s a whole new level of wow factor.” Live Life Large Pronounced “say-lix” after one of the willow tree species native to the area, this collection of 66 homes has a warm, inviting architecture with brick accents, generous balconies, and even boasts some incredible views of Mount Baker thanks to its hillside location. But here’s what’s truly winning hearts. These homes are spacious — as much as 1,290 square feet in some floorplans. “So many buyers told us they wanted a larger condominium home but couldn’t find one…

until now,” Rob says. “For downsizers or people who’ve been living in a multi-level townhouse, it means they can bring their real world furniture and still feel a sense of spaciousness.” Open-concept kitchens are elegant with granite counters, roll-out pot drawers, and gleaming stainless steel appliances — perfect for anyone who considers cooking to be an integral part of entertaining as well as day-to-day life. Just grab your favourite cookbooks and let your creativity kick into high gear.

“ So many buyers told us they wanted a larger condominium home but couldn’t find one… until now.” Rob Carlsen “People are surprised when they realize everything they see in our display home is included,” Rob adds. “I’ll often have people ask me how much it’s going to cost to get the same lighting or millwork they’re looking at. When I tell them it’s all included, they’re amazed and delighted.”

Sizzling Savings And now here’s yet another enticement. For a limited time, every Salix buyer will receive a $10,000 bonus, money to use however you’d like. “It’s really like getting a gift directly from the developer,” Rob explains. “We understand people have different priorities, so this lets you decide what’s most important to your life. It could be put toward even higher grade appliances or a second parking stall, you might choose to add a security system, or you could even use it as part of a furniture package.” After all, you know it, choice is good.

A Neighbourhood with It All “There’s a reason Willowbrook has seen so much development over the past while,” Rob says. “It’s a fantastic neighbourhood — plain and simple. When you want to go out for dinner or coffee, you’ve got so many choices. There are schools and shops nearby, plus it’s convenient to transit and there’s great recreational facilities in every direction. It really is the best of all worlds.” Salix is located at 6477 – 196th St. in Surrey. Brand new showhome open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Friday.

CONDO PROFILE

SALTAIRE

Live where others play // BY SUSAN M BOYCE

his is it. The one you’ve been watching and waiting for. The brand new condominium residence with eye-catching curvilinear styling, a stellar location at the corner of Johnston Rd. and Thrift in Uptown White Rock and some of the most intriguing floorplans to come along in a long, long while. Say hello to Saltaire.

UNIQUE HOMES

Inside, too, Saltaire has elegance and style to spare. Every detail is meticulously planned to simply feel right — from the sophisticated brush-style engineered hardwood flooring and nine-ft. ceilings, to the kitchen’s oh-so-inviting eating bar and no-nonsense five-burner gas range with gleaming stainless steel, chimney hood fan. And while you might think you’ve seen it all when it comes to spa-style bathrooms, I’m betting you’ve never seen the sliding glass, barn door on every Saltaire shower — very cool, very funky, totally fresh and different.

EXQUISITE DESIGN

Right from the first glimpse, it’s clear this is no ordinary condominium residence. At the southwest corner, Saltaire’s curved rotunda-style architecture seems inspired by the prow of a cruise ship, a parallel somehow ultimately suited to White Rock’s seaside location. Windows are large, decks massive and natural timbers and ledgestone create a warm counterbalance to floating glass balustrades accentuated with metal railings. Put more simply, this is one beautifully appointed building. And that’s just from the outside. 80 METRO VANCOUVER NEW CONDO GUIDE OCT 18 - NOV 1, 2013

080-081 CP Saltaire_CW.indd 80

10/10/13 6:52:26 PM

Now, ready for something truly breathtaking? Get set to experience Saltaire’s rotunda suites. The main living areas are a single, semicircular great room with an inviting, open kitchen as its anchoring focal point. From here, timber ceiling beams in a dramatic sunburst pattern create an ambiance that reminds me of an exclusive lodge and spa in some exotic clime. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling, exterior glass wall, a balcony that simply defies any descriptor other than “massive,” wraps effortless around the entire space. Translation: no matter what the weather or what your mood, you’ll find an unobstructed view to savour — just move to a different chaise longue or perhaps grab a glass of wine and settle down on one of the outdoor sofas to watch the sunset. EXCEPTIONAL OPPORTUNITY

“This is one of the very rare opportunities to purchase a brand new condominium home in White Rock with unobstructed views,” says Manuela Mirecki, Ledingham McAllister’s vice president of marketing and design. “You’ve got amazing views, and because many of these homes are much larger than average, they appeal to a diverse range of buyers.” Best of all, this is a location that just keeps getting better. Here you’ve got easy access to boutiques and bistros, fine dining and art galleries, libraries and museums. For theatre buffs, the Coast Capital White Rock Playhouse is right around the corner — literally. And, of course, there’s the famous White Rock Promenade along the beach just a short drive

away. Which reminds me, I think I just have time to snag a fish’n’chips lunch at Moby Dick’s… gotta run. The Saltaire presentation centre and display homes are now open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 1418 Johnston Rd. in White Rock. Floorplans range from one-bedroom to dazzling three-bedroom and den. Views included free. Saltaire is brought to you by Ledingham McAllister, a Vancouver-based development company with over 108 years of experience building in BC.

HOWEVER YOU DEFINE COMMUNITY, WE CALL IT AN EASY WAY TO MEET AND CONNECT WITH YOUR NEIGHBOURS. It’s just one of the many reasons residents love calling Morgan Crossing home. It could be at the chalk art festival on Main Street (see below!), or one of the many other events, like movie nights in the summer or resident parties. How about chatting with fellow dog owners at the Morgan Crossing Dog Park, or meeting during a class or workout at Steve Nash Sports Club. Or just hanging out at the coffee shops and restaurants, at a wine tasting at Everything Wine, or on a bench on Main Street. You’ll see and meet lots of the people who live and work at Morgan Crossing… and maybe even ask out your cute neighbour, Amy. Because loving where you live should be about more than just loving your stunning condo (though we have lots of those too!).

condo profile have them custom made right at home in Richmond.” A quick peek at the bathroom vignette reveals yet another surprise. In addition to a double shower with both ceiling rain-shower and hand-wand, there’s a jetted soaker tub with candle ledge. Or as Steve and I instantly agree, a candle-and-champagne ledge.

Iconic Setting

Newport at West Beach This is White Rock living // By susan m boyce

ull disclosure: I love White Rock. The seaside Promenade, the public pier where I learned to swim, and especially the 486-ton rock that children still climb to prove their daring and prowess. So hearing there’s an opportunity to buy a brand new home directly opposite my favourite beach is irresistible. The name is Newport at West Beach and the ambiance combines the best of this town’s seaside ambiance with sophisticated, über-chic styling.

Ideally situated on the corner of Oxford and Marine, Newport is an engaging transition between the Promenade’s eclectic seaside shopping/dining district and a long established residential neighbourhood of single-family homes. The design is dramatic and iconic — angled balconies, intriguing pop-out architectural details, and a lively interaction with the street thanks to generous sidewalks and patios plus new ground level retail. Newport’s combination of homes is something fresh and different too. Villa homes with ocean views and private rooftop decks; Vista homes featuring up to 1,400 sq. ft. of open living space on one or two levels, and Garden homes offering one- and twobedroom homes perfect for young professionals or singles just starting out. Newport at West Beach will be located at Marine Dr. and Oxford St. on White Rock’s seaside. Presentation centre now open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 14949 Marine Dr. (next to The Boathouse). For more information visit newportliving.ca or call 604.536.0256.

Elegant Interiors Inside, Newport at West Beach is unabashedly all about elegance, comfort, and modernity. The kitchen is a showstopper: massive centre island with waterfall white quartz counter cascading down one edge to the floor, a Jennaire microwave/wall oven combination, and solid-slab quartz backsplash that sales manager Steve Andersen tells me is Italian statuary marble in another of Newport’s three colour schemes. Cabinetry, including the fully integrated fridge, is sleek, high-gloss white creating an unanticipated sense of visual drama that’s still light, airy, and somehow feels just right. “And look at this,” Steve says opening one of the horizontal lift-style cabinets above the stove. “True grab’n’go for when you’re cooking.” He lets go and the door closes softly all on its own. “People often think these are German-engineered but we actually 84 metro vancouver new Condo Guide oct 18 - Nov 1, 2013

ROYCE

White Rock waterfront homes built with inspired vision // By Janine Mackie

t all started with the view. Setting suns and sunrises over Mount Baker, glistening tidal pools of Semiahmoo Bay and the Gulf Islands in the distance. Wanting to create a stellar condominium community where each and every homeowner could enjoy a southern point of view, Forge Properties assembled a team of other local professionals who shared this inspired vision. Ankenman Associates Architects and Kleen Design were commissioned for their contribution towards creating beautiful West Coast-style interiors and landmark exteriors. Today the reality is unfolding as discerning homebuyers have the opportunity to purchase one of 87 homes at Royce on Thrift Ave. in White Rock. Homes range from 717 sq.ft. one-bedroom and den homes priced from $332,300 all the way up to three-bedroom homes and penthouse suites over 1500 sq.ft., and priced at $1.2-million. “The developer’s goal was to optimize as much privacy, sunshine and ocean views while also giving homeowners a very high quality of life,” describes Royce sales manager, Adriana Cikojevic. “These homes offer the luxury of a lock-and-go lifestyle in a beautiful resort-like setting.” Royce’s four and five-storey buildings have been strategically placed on the nearly two-acre landscaped site with a courtyard in the centre to

separate the east and west wings. Homes feel private and prestigious, many with decks and patios over 400 sq.ft. that can easily accommodate outdoor furniture sets, seasonal planters and gas barbecues. The modern West Coast architecture is minimal yet warm with exposed wood beams, attractive and durable Hardie Board siding with cedar finish and amazing oversized windows with Low-E insulated glass. With just 15 months to completion, savvy buyers are choosing to invest early so they have choice of views, designer colour scheme and optional upgrades such as Swedish oak floor or even air conditioning. At the sales and presentation centre a 1135-sq.ft. home with two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a den shows off just how good life can be at Royce. The dining table is set for cocktails and appetizers, the gas fireplace with marble surround lit, and an enticing living room with a stunning 180-degree ocean view beckons guests to sit down and visit. For the discerning homeowner who is hesitant about downsizing for fear of giving up his or her standard of living, Royce is a fine solution. Step into the dream kitchen and imagine cooking like Jamie Oliver with a full complement of sleek stainless steel appliances. Every detail has enduring quality from the distinctive quartz countertops and butler’s pantry to the gorgeous Carrera marble backsplash and amazing floor-toceiling cabinets with pull out shelving and soft-close doors. Like architectural jewelry, the right lighting sets the mood at Royce. Design as well as function was considered when choosing the elegant pendants over the breakfast island, recessed pot lights and under-cabinet task lighting in the kitchen. A restful master bedroom connects to a well appointed ensuite complete with walk-in shower, porcelain sinks and large format marble tile. Even the laundry area is inviting and a home office serves dual functions as a study and wine cellar. Once complete, residents will even have their own clubhouse on the ground floor, finished with a fitness centre, yoga studio and fireside lounge complete with kitchen. Wouldn’t you love to make your home in one of the most desired and livable West Coast addresses? Steps from your door is endless recreation and local dining pursuits including the famous 2.5 km oceanside promenade which promises a refreshing stroll along the water. Discover a neighborhood full of life and tailored with a designer’s touch. Visit Royce’s Sales and Presentation centre today at 14855 Thrift Ave. in White Rock (12-5 closed Fridays).

Modello by Boffo

Five-star living at its best // By diane duflot

ollowing on the success of Jewel I and II, recipient of the CHBA National SAM awards for Best Multi-Family Project in Canada, Boffo raises the bar again with Modello, their latest Burnaby development. For over 40 years, Boffo has established a reputation as one of BC’s boutique homebuilders, offering elegant, luxury living, with what Alexa Paukkunen, sales and marketing director for Magnum Projects, calls an “obsession for detail.” This is certainly true of Modello, a 37 storey mixed-use tower offering spacious one-, two- and three-bedroom homes with distinct character for the discerning buyer. “What are upgrades elsewhere are standard features here,” says Paukkunen, “Every suite is an executive suite. This is five star living at its best.” Among the luxury features included are air-conditioning, nine-foot ceilings, custom millwork, recessed LED lighting, marble backsplashes in both kitchens and bathrooms, wide-plank hardwood floors throughout main living areas and heated marble floors in bathrooms. The Miele appliance package reads like a designer’s wish list: stainless steel gas cooktop, wall oven, fully integrated dishwasher and 36” fridge with integrated custom panel finish and separate wine fridge. With features like these,

these kitchens are sure to be a dream to cook in. Environmentally conscious buyers will be pleased that the building uses state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling technology to keep them at the right temperature year round. “All homes also have large terraces,” says Paukkunen, “allowing for expansive indoor and outdoor living.” And she assures that “no matter where you are located in the building the views here will be incredible.”

“What are upgrades elsewhere are standard features here. Every suite here is an executive suite. This is five star living at its best.” Alexa Paukunnen, Sales and Marketing Director for Magnum Projects

Depending on where their home is situated, lucky residents will have views of Central Park, the North Shore mountains or downtown with mountains in the background. The rooftop amenity space, which features a full fitness center, whirlpool, private dining area, lounge with a catering kitchen, as well as landscaped rooftop terrace is the perfect vantage from which to soak it all in. Modello’s location in Burnaby offers the best of all worlds: at Beresford and Willingdon, Modello provides easy access to the shopping at Metrotown, while allowing its residents to dwell in a more tranquil setting near Central Park. Plans for neighbourhood improvement are in the works: The City of Burnaby’s proposed Beresford art walk will convert Beresford into an expanded pedestrian walkway with street level art, cafes, dining and entertainment. Previews begin October 19th. For more information, visit Modello’s presentation centre at #118-5021 Kingsway (at Marlborough), on the web at ModelloByBoffo.ca or contact 604.456.0688 or info@ModelloByBoffo.ca.

INVESTOR ADVICE

Five questions for

// BY ANDREW LA FLEUR

FIRST-TIME CONDO INVESTORS

o, you’ve decided to buy an investment condo. Congratulations! As a first-time investor, there are five questions you need to ask yourself before buying a new condo:

Andrew la Fleur is an award-winning realtor with Re/Max. Check out his blog at truecondos.com.

Most new condos will require a 15- to 20-per-cent deposit up front, as well as a mortgage approval letter showing you can afford the unit you are purchasing.

1 | What are your goals? Before you buy any investment condo, you should figure out what your goals are. Are you looking to make a shortor long-term investment? What kind of return do you wish to achieve? Are you more interested in income or capital gain — or both? Deciding what your goals are up front will better help you achieve them in the long run. 2 | What can you afford? Talk to your mortgage broker or lender and get a mortgage preapproval before you start your search. This will help you figure out what you can afford, and will help you start to narrow your search. Also, make sure you are prepared for the developer’s requirements with respect to financing. Most new condos will require a 15- to 20-per-cent deposit up front, as well as a mortgage approval letter showing you can afford the unit you are purchasing. 3 | What is your exit strategy? This is a very important question many first-time investors fail to answer before buying a new condo. Will you buy, hold and rent for the long term before selling? Will you buy pre-construction and then flip (assign) your unit prior to the final

closing? Will you buy pre-construction, close on the unit, rent it out for one or two years, and then sell it? Will you buy, wait for completion, and then refinance and re-invest the proceeds? Take time to assess the risks and rewards associated with the different exit strategies and start with the end in mind. 4 | What should you buy? Buying a new condo for investment purposes is different than buying for yourself. Some units make better investments than others. Questions to consider include: Which locations are likely to experience the most growth in the next few years? What type of unit is the most attractive to renters? Which type of unit tends to appreciate faster than others? 5 | When should you buy? Understanding the typical marketing cycle that a new condo goes through from pre-construction to completion will help you identify the right time to buy. When buying for investment, it is generally best to buy at the earliest possible stage when a new building launches. This is when prices are the lowest, and availability of investor-grade suites is highest. But there are other great opportunities to buy, including right before the developer meets the sales target to secure construction financing, or during the occupancy stage. In both of these instances developers tend to be highly motivated to sell and this is when they often introduce great buyerincentives or cash discounts.
