THREE SIMPLE STEPS TO SUCCESSShopping for a home online is a great way to narrow your search, but there’s nothing like visiting the sites, models and sales o� ces to get down to the nitty-gritty. Before you venture out, here are some pointers:

First, be clear about what you want and expect in a new home and in your builder.

Remember, the range of prices in the new-home market generally refl ects di� erences in location, features and home styles. There’s no magic involved. If a builder’s pricing seems out of whack with others in the area, ask for an explanation. Higher prices could mean better quality materials, fi nishings, features and service. Make sure that the price you are paying will deliver the quality you want.

Second, understand exactly what is included with the home you are buying

and what is optional. Ask the sales representative to show you samples, and request a “spec” sheet that clearly lists what is included, as well as any upgrade options.

Third, evaluate any promises that have been made during your visit. Is the builder prepared to put them in writing? Hearsay comments should not be included as part of your evaluation process. Sit down with your sales representative, ask questions and discuss your Agreement of Purchase and Sale

in detail – then take it to a lawyer before it’s fi nalized.

PRIORITIES: SPACE VERSUS TIMEMaking compromises is one of the realities of life that you learn in kindergarten, and knowing how to prioritize is a skill that makes fi nding an ideal compromise much easier. Bob Rennie’s annual address to the Urban Development Institute this year focused on a very hot topic in Metro Vancouver: a� ordability, and compromise.

He noted that, in a region as desirable and economically and politically stable as ours, simple supply and demand principles are going to drive up real estate prices. One way to mitigate the a� ordability situation here is obviously to increase the supply, and to do this we’re going to have to densify. He quotes: “You don’t see single-family homes in London or New York City.”

We’ve been seeing a lot of this trend lately: three or four single-family homes in a row being bought and turned into 20 townhomes, or 30 condos and 10 townhomes. That means homes for a

lot more people than the former houses with the front lawns and large, usually empty, back yards.

Though people lament the passing of the “Old Vancouver” into the present, what this really means is that more people can a� ord to live here; with one compromise: space.

Those unwilling to make this compromise, who want more space to live, have two options: to pay much more or to move farther away from the city core where geography and city limits do not have such a profound infl uence on land scarcity. For those working in the city, this means that more time will be spent commuting.

Vancouver has a long way to go when dealing with the problem of a� ordabilty, especially when it comes to people raising families in the city, but densifi cation is one place to start. It’s time we started thinking about others.

BURNABY/NEW WESTMINSTER

RIVERSKY2Experience Waterfront Living By Susan M Boyce

COVER STORY

For me there’s something irresistible about the Fraser River, especially when I can

watch it from the comfort of a living room armchair or a chaise longue on the balcony of my riverside condo in downtown New Westminster.

Seems plenty of folks agree. Less than two months after the presentation center opened, RiverSky’s first tower was almost sold out. “Which is why we’re launching the all new RiverSky2 months ahead of schedule,” says a clearly delighted sales manager Anderson Hsu. “Living on the waterfront is a dream for many people, so it’s no

wonder buyers are excited by this rare opportunity to own a home on the river. We’re seeing young, first-time buyers who value RiverSky’s proximity to SkyTrain, downsizers who want the convenience of lock’n’go living, and investors who see New Westminster’s potential.”

Inspired Living“That is so cool… absolutely ingenious.” The two women in RiverSky’s display suite living room are watching in delighted disbelief as a sales associate demonstrates the SleepTHEATRE™— one of the innovative BosaSPACE™ concepts that’s been wowing buyers since it was unveiled last year at University District in Surrey Center. Short version: sliding the TV wall to one side reveals a fold-down guest bed. “I could absolutely see myself sleeping there when I visit you,” one of the women says grinning at her friend.


This home also showcases Bosa’s space expanding ExtenTABLE™ that tucks invisibly into the centre island. Need to check emails or use your laptop? Just pull out the first section and you’ve got an instant workstation. When it’s time for entertaining, the table expands till it provides comfortable seating for eight. Brilliant.

Anderson also has some exciting news for homebuyers at RiverSky2. “Select one-bedroom homes in this new phase will also incorporate the third BosaSPACE element,” Anderson says. Like everything about BosaSPACE, this creative feature is simplicity itself — a gentle push is all it takes for three glass panels separating the bedroom and living room to tuck invisibly inside the wall creating a single open room. Next, the bedroom’s queen-sized bed flips up into the wall revealing a contemporary, built-in sofa that’s been cleverly hidden on the reverse side. Now you’re ready for entertaining on a grand scale — like having a dozen friends and family over for dinner or to watch the latest sports event.

Evolving Neighbourhood“Downtown New Westminster is becoming such a modern, vibrant neighbourhood — a place that has all the big city conveniences but still retains a small town feel,” Anderson says. “You’ve got easy access to two SkyTrain stations, the River Market is a few minutes walk, and the Steel & Oak microbrewery is just down the street. Plus you’ve got new coffee shops popping up everywhere, so you can just pop out for a latté in the morning or meet your friends for lunch.”

The just launched RiverSky2 presentation centre and display suite are open noon to 6 p.m. daily at

659 Columbia Street. One-bedroom homes priced from $239,900, two-bedrooms from $349,900. Previews of this

exciting new tower are underway, and the Grand Opening is June 20 and 21st. For more information and updates, visit

IN THE NEWS

For someone selling real estate in one of the hottest markets in North America, if not the world, Bob Rennie opened his speech to more than 1,000 industry people

with a subdued observation. “Evidently, Vancouver is the unhappiest city in Canada.” After a breakdown of who is unhappy (baby boomers) and why (they look backwards), Rennie made the by-now-familiar assertion that this problem of affordability, in a place of land scarcity, can only be solved on the supply side: by densifying existing properties to make room to provide more homes.

Though the problem of affordability is admittedly more complex than that (Rennie identifies 19 forces in our region that adversely affect affordability), his vision of Vancouver in the future is one similar to New York or London, with the majority of residents living in apartments, condos and townhomes, at the expense of single-family lifestyle.

He also debunked the myth that all our stock of new condos and townhomes coming onto the market are being snapped up by offshore investors. Citing the sales statistics from the Amazing Brentwood and Metrotown in Burnaby and The Strathcona Village and The Independent in East Vancouver, only three per cent of the buyers were not from Canada. The majority of the buyers for all these developments were actually from less than ten kilometres away from the building that they were buying into.

These projects, with an average prince hovering around $400,000, have extensive amenity spaces, are located in “energy centres” close to shopping and transit, and are affordable for two working people. Rennie stressed that though the entry-level suites are small, they are a good way to get into the market, and larger suites are making it possible to live with your family in a condo building.

He goes on to say that when developers come to him to sell their new buildings he advocates for building an energy centre if one does not exist yet. “If you can walk out the door and get a stick of butter, a cup of coffee and fill your prescription, build there. I can brand it, market it and sell it.”

Investing in Vancouver real estate is a better investment option than buying gold, according to Rennie, but it is

“No affordability without density” BOB RENNIE’S 2015 UDI LUNCHEON ADDRESS

speculators that really drive up the price of land exponentially. Instead of taxing foreign investors, who make up a small portion of overall buyers, we should be taxing people who just buy houses to sit empty for a few years until they can be sold to developers for a much higher price. People who buy condos to rent them out, however, are contributing to the under-served rental market in Vancouver and should be encouraged, he says.

Next year, Rennie predicts that he will be talking about the redevelopment of the Railway lands, the movement of St. Paul’s hospital and Emily Carr University, and the removal of the viaducts. Of course we can’t wait!

BUYER PROFILE

Eight years after moving to Vancouver from Saskatchewan, Danielle and Jeremy had had quite

enough of renting. They were fed up with the tiny kitchen and the short, dingy bathtub. They were tired of the never-ending search for laundry loonies, and they’d certain had enough of finding their clothes dumped onto the counter if they were two minutes late between the wash and dry cycles.

“A friend of mine had moved to North Burnaby a while ago and she loves it,” Danielle says. “My parents kept encouraging us to invest in buying a place of our own — somewhere we could really settle down and maybe start a family. So we thought we’d look around.”

Love at First SightThe couple started checking out properties in Brentwood and Metrotown, but nothing popped out. “Then one day I was googling North Burnaby and I saw an ad for Aviara.” Danielle grins. “As soon as we walked into the presentation centre and saw the display suite, it was pretty much a done deal.”

Although it was a long wait — just over two years — while Aviara was built, Danielle says now they’re moved in it was totally worth it.

Top of her OWL — Oh Wow List — is their new kitchen. “I really, really like this kitchen,” she says. “I’ve finally got counter space, and once I get used to the gas range I think I’m going to like that a lot.

“Plus we’ve got an ensuite with a soaker tub that I fit in and showerheads that are high up. At the other place I always felt like I was crouching down

A Fresh StartAs they watched the Aviara tower rising ever higher over the months, Danielle and Jeremy used the time to prepare. “We wanted this to be a fresh start so we got rid of a lot of old stuff,” Danielle says. “And we bought new furniture that was delivered the same day we moved in.”

June 30th: The busiest moving day of the year

By John Bailey

The busiest moving day of the year is June 30, according to Two Men And A Truck Canada. This day is

particularly popular for several reasons. The school year is over by the end

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

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

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

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

MAKE YOUR MOVE

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

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

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

Consider having your mover pack for you. Keep in mind that with time running short, professional movers can get your items ready to move quickly and efficiently. Getting your possessions to your new home in excellent condition is important to us as well as you. If you still decide to pack yourself, you may want to purchase packing supplies from your mover. Our boxes are available in consistent sizes, which makes stacking

them in the truck easier. And remember that it’s counter-productive to move items you will just throw out at the other end. Take some time to sort and pitch.

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

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

SIGNATURE AT FALCON CENTREDesigned for Your Lifestyle By Susan M Boyce

FEATURE DEVELOPMENT

There’s no mistaking when you’ve arrived at Signature in downtown Maple Ridge. The architecture is an intriguing blend of contemporary, industrial chic, plus the richness of classic brick.

The second phase in Falcon Centre, this collection of just 23 apartment residences built by Falcon Homes, is designed with the savvy downsizer in mind. “We had so many requests for larger suites that we reconfigured the floorplans so they replicate the single-family experience,” says sales manager Nicole Buckle. “Some homes offer as much as 1,540 square feet on one level — think of it as a rancher in the sky.”

Okay, I can’t wait to see inside. And Nicole is delighted to show me around.

Interior StyleIf I’d been magically transported into Signature’s penthouse display home, there’s no question I’d have thought I was standing in a well-appointed, modern rancher. The sense of flow and comfort is nothing short of astonishing. I hear myself give an involuntary sigh of sheer appreciation.

The living room has one of my favourite features — a vaulted ceiling that I’m guessing must be at least 14 feet high. As if to welcome me, sunshine pours

through the massive, arched window that adds an unanticipated touch of elegance to this inviting space.

Resisting the urge to just cozy down on the sofa, I decide to check out what’s behind the frosted glass French doors on my left. To my delight, I discover an office/den that’s so spacious it could double as a guest room with nothing more than adding a discrete Murphy bed.

Next stop is, of course, the kitchen. Now I’ll admit this is one part of my home that I’m always particularly fussy about. I love to cook and entertain, so I want my culinary center to be somewhere open, connected, and providing me with lots of storage and counter space. Signature scores a 10 on all counts — soft-close maple cabinetry, walk-in pantry, KitchenAid appliances, and an eating bar that could easily seat six although here it’s set with just four oversized, luxuriously upholstered barstools and still has room to spare.

“You’re going to love the master suite,” Nicole says. She opens the door and smiles at my spontaneous response — “oh wow.” A soaring 14-foot ceiling with


a crystal chandelier for added bling, a second balcony so I can savour my morning latté and newspaper in complete privacy, a walk-in closet — yes, I could get used to this, no problem.

Then I peek into the ensuite and discover the pièce de résistance — a freestanding soaker tub that would be totally at ease in any of the world’s finest, luxury hotels. And that’s in addition to an oversized frameless glass shower, dual sinks, plus in-floor radiant heat to keep my toes warm and comfy even on the coolest mornings. Heaven.

Welcome to the Neighbourhood“Maple Ridge is such a dynamic community,” Nicole says. She points across the street to where I can see the ACT Arts Centre sign just above and behind the new Thrifty’s.

“Everything you need is walking distance — groceries,

The Signature at Falcon Centre presentation centre is open noon to 5 p.m. daily at 101 – 11882 – 226th Street in Maple

Ridge. Display suite open for viewing by appointment anytime. Prices for these one-bedroom, two-bedroom and

two-plus-den homes start at $251,800. For more information, visit signaturefalconcentre.com or call 604.812.1468.

banking, coffee shops, a park, and a great rec centre. And when Signature is complete there will be a brand new Health and Wellness Centre as part of the ground floor retail. It’s wonderful seeing how homeowners in our first building are becoming more than just neighbours — they’re becoming friends who get together for yoga classes, lunch, or going out for a show. Signature is going to continue that tradition of community.”

Outstanding Value“Signature offers an amazing value,” Nicole says. “You just won’t find another building with suites of this size at this price point in this neighbourhood. People who missed out on the first phase aren’t going to want to miss this time around.”

You just won’t find another building with suites of this size at this price point in this neighbourhood.— Nicole Buckle

SOUTH SURREY/WHITE ROCK

CONDO VIEWS

“The Miiiiiighty Fraser. A working river.” Anyone who grew up in BC during a certain era will

remember this phrase from a ubiquitous educational TV program emphasizing the historic, economic, environmental and cultural value of BC’s largest river.

At 1,375 kilometres long, the Fraser begins at a spring at Fraser Pass and discharges (along with tonnes of fertile silt) in arms separating the islands of Richmond from Vancouver and the Corporation of Delta. Supporting an abundance of wildlife, transportation, fisheries, forestry, recreation and First

Nations cultural heritage, The Fraser has always been the artery giving life to the heart of the Lower Mainland.

Before it was called “The Fraser River” it was called many different names by the Musqueam, Sto:lo, St’at’imc, Secwepemc and Nlaka’pamux nations who inhabited its banks in hundreds of villages. A few decades after the river was renamed after the white explorer, Simon Fraser, it was the route taken by thousands of hopeful prospectors hoping to strike it rich in the Gold Rush.

In the early 1900s, as Vancouver was growing, the river was left to the

industrial businesses that required water for operation: sawmills, pulp mills, canneries, farms and transportation, while residents tended to move towards the ocean, concentrating in what is now the city of Vancouver. This trend has continued until recently. But are we missing out on something by ignoring the riverfront at our doorstep?

Beau Jarvis, senior VP of development at Wesgroup explains the current interest in rebuilding on the shores of the Fraser. “The Fraser River offers a different kind of waterfront. It’s active with tugboats and fishing vessels,

but it’s also extremely beautiful with amazing sunsets and a diverse bird population. It’s a unique experience, one that is undervalued.”

Thus, a major change is in the works. With a decline in the industrial use of the river due to increased urbanization, this has left much of the riverfront abandoned and dilapidated. Says Geoff Duyker, MOSAIC’s senior VP of marketing, “People naturally gravitate to the coast and to water. In Metro Vancouver, our riverfront was underutilized.” The Pitt River flows into the Fraser through the Tri-Cities area, but the riverbank was a brownfield from previous industrial activities. MOSAIC saw the opportunity here, and envisioned a lively waterfront community that would be a benefit for the whole Port Coquitlam area. The result is Fremont Village, a bustling, family-friendly master-planned riverside community in the heart of the Tri-Cities.

“We had great leadership from the elected government here,” explains Duyker, “and we were able to rehabilitate the shoreline, provide homes for 300 families (with 300 more on the way), a business park, and lots of recreational areas. It has gone from being a brown field to being this vibrant place.”

Wesgroup has undertaken an even more monumental riverside development, on the Vancouver side of the Fraser as it meets the sea. Jarvis describes this ambitious plan: “With River District, we are only in the

beginning stages of what will soon become a small town, with 15,000 people living here. The value is this is just the start of the city’s largest and last waterfront community. It’s also in the proximity to 25 acres of parkland, riverfront pathways, sports fields, shops and services, community centre, daycares and schools. It’s the unique experience of living on an active waterfront within walking distance to great shops, cafes and services. We have worked hard to ensure this will be a strong community with walkability, great amenities and access to nature.”

Right across the river from River District is ASPAC’s River Green in Richmond. Touted as “Richmond’s Coal Harbour,” this master-planned community incorporates the dyke trails, public art and five-star hotel amenities on grounds showcasing terraced gardens, water features and of course, spectacular views of the river.

Up the river in New Westminster, there are also opportunities for riverside living, even more affordable than in Richmond and Vancouver. RiverSky by Bosa is a beautiful concrete tower in the heart of New West. Explains Bosa sales manager Anderson Hsu, “Living on the waterfront is a dream for many people.” Wesgroup

is also building the Brewery District in Sapperton, and Ballenas Project Management Group has Northbank between the two. Says Ballenas’s Peter Newell, “In many cities around the world life has always rolled to the rhythm of the river. Working, playing, and living. I mean great cities like New Orleans, Vienna, Buenos Aires, Budapest. And now Metro Vancouver.”

Some other new communities along the river are: Reflections by Falcon Homes in Maple Ridge, The Pier at London Landing and Dava’s Parc Riviera in Richmond, Aragon’s GlassHouse Lofts in Queensborough and Barber Creek’s Edgewater in Surrey.

Whatever your budget, and whatever river view you prefer, now is the time to do your research and find your perfect riverfront home. Says Beau Jarvis, explaining the value in buying at River District, “This is a waterfront community, and they don’t make waterfront anymore”.

And in the end, the appeal of a river is timeless and magical, even to the timid Mole in The Wind in the Willows.

“By the side of the river he trotted as one trots, when very small, by the side of a man who holds one spellbound by exciting stories; and when tired at last, he sat on the bank, while the river still chattered on to him, a babbling procession of the best stories in the world, sent from the heart of the earth to be told at last to the insatiable sea.”

CONDO PROFILE

It’s official. Buyers have fallen in love with The Ridge at Bose Farms. “When I saw the showhomes I thought: these

are amazing. They’re so well laid out inside and the flow is great,” says one enthusiastic homebuyer. “I’ve never heard of a condo development that’s anything like this.”

Located on the site of the historic Meadowridge Farm in Surrey, this one-of-a-kind community has the charm of country heritage, plus the sizzle of contemporary design. Intrigued? Well you’d better hurry on down, because the

an intriguing blend of über modernism and the sheer fun of industrial edginess. Hint: minimalist faucets, warehouse-inspired pendant lighting in chrome, quartz countertops, and high gloss, easy-clean cabinetry.

For many, though, it’s the natural farm setting that makes their heart beat faster. And the final phase is positioned to take full advantage of every view, every natural outlook. “You simply can’t replicate a setting like this — a location that overlooks agricultural land, a 12-acre forest, plus iconic heritage buildings like the restored Bose family home and the white and green Meadowridge barn,” Nicole says.

She points across the heritage courtyard to where homeowners with a green thumb will soon fill garden plots with flowers, herbs and fresh veggies. “And you should see the views from some of the south-facing homes in phase three — so light and bright. There’s absolutely nothing that compares with seeing the way sunshine filters through the old-growth trees in The Ridge’s heritage forest.”

As if on cue, an eagle magically appears in the sky. “There’s a nest in one of the old trees,” Nicole says. “Homeowners are going to be able to have a special relationship with nature here at The Ridge at Bose Farms.” She smiles. “We even have a resident barn owl who lives in a private Owl House made from one of the barn’s original cupolas that was relocated on a pole above the restored dairy shed.

The Ridge at Bose Farms’ presentation centre and display homes are open noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays

at 16390 – 64th Ave. in Surrey. Two-bedroom to three-bedroom and

den homes priced from $247,900 to $549,900. For more information

HIGH-CONCEPT DESIGN FOR LIVING

How do you turn a dramatic space into a home?

INSPIRATION ONSITE

A dramatic departure from the usual Vancouver condo building, Boffo developments’ Artemisia is an architectural landmark in the heart of

downtown. Neo-classically inspired, with a distinctive marble mosaic entrance and soaring cathedral ceilings, Artemesia is a building that is elegant and eye-catching, and the most spacious and luxurious penthouse home in the building is on the market, and is also the subject of this weeks Inspiration Onsite. We caught up with renowned designer Cristina Oberti, who explains how to complement this artful design with a livable ambiance.

Q&A

By Stephanie MacDonald

Q: This space is dramatically open and modern, with very distinctive architectural elements. How can you highlight this without making the combination overwhelming?

A: When designing around strong architectural elements it’s important to choose furniture that will highlight the structure rather than compete with it. This particular space had lots of angles


and hidden nooks and corners that we had to work with. It’s a very abstract floor plan. In order to compliment and highlight this we carried the angular architecture into the furniture, choosing pieces that mimic the same ‘edgy’ attitude or character. We added a few rounded pieces for variety and to soften all the angularity of the space. Too much roundness, however, would have challenged the basic layout and structure of the space. The result I think was a more holistic design, one that shares the same aesthetic philosophy as its surrounding architecture.

Q: Much of the space in this penthouse seems open to interpretation as to the use. The glass room could be a dining room,

or it could be a solarium, the loft bedroom could be an office… how do you decide what goes where?

A: A great deal of the design process has to do with intuition. Spaces can be interpreted in hundreds of ways, so you have to choose what works best and makes sense for you. It often just comes down to instinct and lifestyle. We always design our display suites around imagined owners and design according to that. Someone who works from home will want a larger area to work in with lots of windows and natural light. A small family might use that same space for a playroom or reading room. In these open-to-interpretation areas there is no right answer, it’s all up to your specific needs and imagination.

Q: With the huge windows throughout the space, how do you take advantage of the light but also maintain a sense of privacy?

A: Windows (especially large ones) make for great focal points, and so shouldn’t be obstructed or hidden. I like to leave windows exposed in living and working areas, using only built-in blinds to give shade or privacy when and if desired. The areas where you want privacy are the bedrooms, so in these cases I like to use drapery in rich fabrics and textures. Long drapes are especially effective for emphasising windows and adding drama. Beyond their practicality, added benefits include a lush finish and a cozy bedroom.


Q: Please explain your approach to lighting a main space with such a high ceiling.

A: Large open spaces with high ceilings are the perfect circumstances for using large, dramatic lighting fixtures. In fact, they basically call for it. For this design we used a lot of integrated lighting and ambiance lighting to create a soft, comfortable glow. Overhead, in the dining and living area we installed an extravagant, yet timeless chandelier as our statement piece. The chandelier

helps ground the dining room area while giving a touch of glamour to the otherwise very modern and minimalist design.

Q: How do you use colour and texture to make a lofty space like this more cozy and inviting?

A: To soften the space we applied a few mid-century inspired pieces with curved, fluid silhouettes. The rounded edges and plush cushions in the task chair, sofa and dining room chairs bring

a human element, softening the space while keeping within the minimalist and modern design. Too much minimalism and angularity can easily make a space feel cold and uninviting. Curved edges and soft fabrics are what make a home feel cozy. And then of course there’s colour. Warm colour schemes are the best for boosting a welcoming atmosphere. In this suite we combined chocolate brown with tangerine and pink accents to add a jolt of warm personality.

Terms of sustainabilityWHAT DOES LEED MEAN? AND IS IT IMPORTANT?

By Cameron McNeill

You may have heard the term “LEED Certified Building” and understand that LEED

has something to do with a level of environmental construction standards. But what does that actually mean and should it be important to you?

LEED stands for Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design and is the most recognized and widely used rating system in the world. It was developed as a global benchmark for green high-performance commercial, residential, institutional and industrial buildings. LEED offers benchmarking in 5 categories; Building Design and Construction, Interior Design and Construction, Building Operations and Maintenance, Neighborhood Development, and Homes.

Benefits of a LEED certified homeIn accordance to the Canada Green Building Council, a LEED certified home may offer benefits such as:» Lower monthly costs through

energy efficiency» Better indoor air quality» Better resale value» Greater durability» Peace of mind

Are all LEED certifications created equally?The short answer is no. The LEED benchmarking program gives a rating system and scorecard for each of the categories mentioned above. The numbers are combined to determine

what level of certification a building has obtained.

There are four levels of certification that can be obtained by a project. Depending on the number of total points calculated on the score card a project can be LEED rated Certified (40-49 points), Silver (50-59 points), Gold (60-79 points) or Platinum (80+ points). That means even within a LEED Gold building for instance, one building could have rated exceptionally high in Building Design and Construction where another could have rated exceptionally high in Neighbourhood Development even though the total score could be very similar.

If a building is not LEED certified does that mean it’s not green or does not meet the minimal requirements of LEED?Again the answer is no. Many Developers understand the importance of developing a green building and have taken steps to be environmentally friendly and use green practices, materials, etc. Some municipalities have started to mandate LEED standards, for instance, in the city of Vancouver all new buildings on rezoned sites have to be built to LEED Gold standards. However, LEED certification is not mandatory. The registration and certification fees coupled with the time and energy that it takes to move through the LEED application process is often not a priority for home builders and so although they build to LEED standards, they do not pursue actual certification.

As LEED designed buildings are becoming more prevalent in our Cities’ landscapes and green initiatives are becoming more in demand, consumers should remember to take time to u nderstand what Developers mean by “LEED Certified”. Ask your builder, salespeople and Realtors questions about what the developer’s practices are. Furthermore, decide for yourself what you want out of a green building and whether LEED certification is important to your purchasing decision.

IN THE NEWS

According to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s (CMHC) Second Quarter Housing

Market Outlook British Columbia Highlights report, housing starts in British Columbia are forecast to range between 26,400 and 29,800 units this year, rising to 26,100 to 30,500 units in 2016.

“Housing starts remain relatively stable this year and next, supported by growth in employment and population,” noted Carol Frketich, CMHC’s BC Regional Economist. “Multiple-family starts will be stable in 2015 and then pick up in 2016 as demand for denser housing forms increases and inventories of completed and unabsorbed units are drawn down. Single-detached home starts are expected to remain relatively unchanged over the forecast horizon.”

Resale market conditions are forecast to remain balanced, although this may differ in some centres and by home

type. Existing MLS®1 home sales will be boosted by job and population growth and low mortgage interest rates. Sales will range from 82,300 to 93,100 transactions in 2015 and between 78,700 to 91,800 transactions in 2016.

The MLS® average price is forecast to be between $573,700 and $627,500 in 2015, edging higher to $577,000 to $652,000 in 2016.

Detailed CMHC housing market forecasts for the Vancouver, Abbotsford-Mission, Victoria and Kelowna Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) are available in the CMA Spring Housing Market Outlook reports. In addition, forecasts for the cities of Prince George, Kamloops and Nanaimo are available in the Second Quarter Housing Market Outlook British Columbia Highlights report.

More than 550,000 bungalows/ranchers were built in Canada in the 1960s and 1970s. The

average finished floor area was less than 1,200 sq. ft. – just slightly larger than some of the homes at Mill

House. Few of those 60s ranchers had master ensuite bathrooms and even fewer had walk-in closets.

None of them had secured underground parking or a personal gear garage™. Mill House has all that and

more. If you’re thinking about rightsizing, now would be the perfect time. Millhouse has some excellent

larger home plans where you can enjoy living in a brand new home. You won’t need to compromise on local

amenities either. They’re all within a car-free walk, earning Mill House a Walkscore of 93.

Nicely appointed 1+Den – 3 bedroom homes with parking & personal gear garage™.

By Barbara Lawlor

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

One of the most misunderstood expenses of condo ownership is the interim occupancy fee.

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

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

A “condominium” is not formed until it is completed and passes the approval processes that enable it to be registered

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

with the Land Registry Office. In highrise condos, the lower floors are finished long before the upper levels, but the approvals process begins once the first suite is occupied. It typically takes up to six months, although sometimes it can be quicker. During this time, you will pay an occupancy fee to the developer.

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

You may think of this as rent, but it’s

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