JANUARY 2 - 16, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 3 2 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Easier to fi ndWe realize that there are many

di� erent ways to search out that next

home. That’s why we’ve made it our

priority to make that home easier for

you to fi nd.

While price and size are always a

big part of the equation, location is

the factor that will a� ect you most.

Whether you want to be closer to

work, closer to amenities that matter

to your lifestyle, closer to the city —

or farther from it — the challenge is

to fi nd a home search tool that will

give you all of those answers. That’s

precisely why we’ve developed maps

with extensive neighbourhood data

on YPNextHome.ca.

These maps make it easy to

fi nd not just a home but also fi nd

out what is within the area, with

stats about the community and its

residents. YPNextHome.ca o� ers

neighbourhood profi les as well as

guided tours by our team of experts

— and this is connected to the maps

so that there’s no secondary search.

We’ve made it easy for you to

familiarize yourself with a community

and fi nd out detailed insights, from

the area hotspots and accessibility, to

its proximity to the city centre.

We hope you fi nd this experience

helpful. Let us know, we’d love to

hear from you!

Some think this is a great time of year

to move, others try to avoid it. I think

it doesn’t matter the date, the weather

or the season — when it’s time to

move you need to start looking.

Living in the right place adds

satisfaction to your life. Why wait

and endure issues when you can

be moving onto something that will

better suit your needs?

Right now, interest rates are low,

and the new down payment rules

haven’t yet come into e� ect, so

it’s prime time to buy. Exercise this

opportunity and get yourself into a

home that works for you — budget,

size, location, style and community.

Read more about this and other great

advice and market insight in this issue,

plus more on YPNextHome.ca. Visit

our website, search our YPNextHome

app and get ready to make your

move!

Housing a� ordability is an important issue for many and for the building industry

Advice | BILD REPORT

By Bryan Tuckey

Bryan Tuckey is President and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and is a land-use planner who has worked for municipal, regional and provincial governments. He can be found on

Twitter (twitter.com/bildgta), Facebook (facebook.com/bildgta) and BILD’s o� cial online blog (bildblogs.ca).

THE AFFORDABILITY OF housing

in the Greater Toronto Area is an

important issue. It is one that most

GTA residents watch with interest,

and it is one that has them worrying

about what the future will hold for

them and for their children.

According to a recent poll that we

conducted with Ipsos, 70 per cent of

GTA residents are concerned about

their ability to a� ord to buy their

next home. The poll of 1,500 GTA

residents was taken in late August.

More than one third of the people,

some 39 per cent said they were very

concerned, while 31 per cent said they

were somewhat concerned about the

a� ordability of their next home.

We also asked people if they were

concerned about their children’s

ability to buy a home when it comes

time to buy.

Of those who have either adult

children or children under 17, more

than three-quarters, some 78 per

cent, said they are concerned that

their kids will face challenges with

a� ordability when it is time for them

to purchase a home. Almost half, 46

per cent, said they are very concerned

about their children’s ability to

purchase a home.

A� ordability is also a major issue

for the industry and one that we are

passionate about. We are in the new

home building and selling business,

and we need people to be able to

a� ord to buy our products.

As an industry, we continue to

innovate and provide consumers

with new housing choices that are

a� ordable. Ground related developers

have been and will continue to build

many di� erent types of townhomes

as well as semis and detached homes.

Developers building condominiums

in the GTA will keep fi nding creative

ways to maximize living space and

reduce the suite size to make them

more a� ordable for new-home

buyers. But innovation alone will not

address the challenge of a� ordability.

Our housing market in the GTA is

dynamic and it is complicated. Like all

markets it is subject to the economic

laws of supply and demand, but to

complicate matters it is also impacted

greatly by governments at all levels.

Things such as land use, housing

and fi scal policies; government

taxes/fees/charges; outdated zoning

by-laws and approval processes;

and lack of land that is serviced

with infrastructure and ready for

development are key factors in the

challenge of a� ordability.

Government fees and taxes

amount to an average of one-fi fth

the cost of a new home in the

GTA. A large part of those fees are

development charges. Since 2004

development charges in the GTA

have increased between 143 and

357 per cent.

Another issue that adds to the cost of

building housing is outdated municipal

by-laws. Many GTA municipalities are

operating under outdated by-laws

which can result in project timeline

delays and unnecessary expenses for

new home buyers.

Increased pushback or NIMBYism

from neighbourhoods and residents

who don’t understand intensifi cation

policies can lead to disputes and

delays that often lead to increased

costs for new homebuyers as well.

To tackle the issue of housing

a� ordability all those involved need

to be engaged in fi nding creative

solutions.

RECENTLY, THE NEW Finance Minister Bill Morneau

announced a signifi cant change to the mortgage rules

in Canada for property buyers.

If you skip to the end of this article you can see more

details into what the rule is exactly and how it breaks

down, but if you are reading this you are probably a

condo investor wondering how this will a� ect you.

DEMAND FOR CONDOS JUST GOT A SHOT IN THE ARM

What the government is e� ectively doing is artifi cially

increasing demand for properties under $500K (i.e.

condos) and decreasing demand for properties over

$500K (i.e. houses).

I’ve been arguing for the last two years that the soaring

house prices of the GTA will spill over into the condo

market at some point and we will see condo prices also

rise. The two markets are not disconnected.

And this is exactly what happened in 2015.

Last year saw average condo prices increase at higher

rates than they have in the last fi ve years (around fi ve to

seven per cent average increase in 2015, compared to

around two to four per cent in the last several years).

HOW THE NEW MORTGAGE RULES WILL INCREASE DEMAND FOR CONDOS

House prices are just completely out of reach now for the

majority of buyers and they are giving up and shifting their

focus on the condo market. This increase in demand is

driving prices higher.

Houses just became more una� ordable for fi rst-time

buyers with this new mortgage rule. A big chunk of would-

be homebuyers are now waking up today and deciding to

buy a condo instead.

Increased demand = rising condo prices in 2016. Not

only that, but move-up buyers are a� ected too.

Current condo owners who are planning on selling and

upgrading to a house will now have to delay those plans a

little bit longer in order to meet the new requirements.

This means a big chunk of condos that were going

to come onto the resale market in 2016 will not be.

Decreased supply = rising condo prices in 2016.

THE CONDO MARKET OVER THE NEXT FIVE YEARS

This will be the central story of the condo market over the

next half decade: prices and rents will continue to rise as

housing demand shifts more and more away from houses

to condos.

The new rule by the government of Canada will only

serve to exacerbate this trend.

All good news for condo investors who are investing

today and who understand that the condo bubble is a

myth and that the future of our city is in highrise living.

THE NEW RULE

E� ective February 15, 2016 properties more than $500,000

will require a 10 per cent minimum down payment.

It’s important to note that the 10 per cent rule is only for

the amount of more than $500K.

So if you are buying a property for $600K then you

would need to come up with a minimum of 5 per cent on

the fi rst $500K (=$25K) and 10 per cent on the balance of

$100K (=$10K). So the total down payment required on a

$600K purchase is $35K ($25K + $10K).

Properties over $1M still do not qualify for CMHC

insurance and therefore must have a minimum 20 per

cent down payment — this was an existing rule that will

not change.

ONTARIO AND BC HOUSING markets are expected

to lead the country next year, according to the

Canadian Real Estate Association (CREA). In

updating its forecast for Multiple Listing Service

home sales activity for 2015 and 2016, CREA

says housing markets in these provinces have

strengthened since its last forecast in September.

The association has therefore raised sales and

average price forecasts for these provinces.

While housing markets in other provinces have

performed as expected through the autumn,

prospects in 2016 for a rebound in oil prices — and

by extension, housing markets in oil producing

provinces — have dimmed. Accordingly, forecast

for sales activity in Alberta has been revised

lower, as have forecast average prices in Alberta,

Saskatchewan and Newfoundland and Labrador.

Additionally, interest rates are now expected to

begin rising later than previously anticipated. Now

expected to remain on hold until late next year,

low interest rates will continue to support sales and

prices in 2016.

Fundamentally Speaking

Recently announced changes to mortgage

regulations that take e� ect Feb. 15, 2016 risk

cooling housing markets beyond their intended

targets of Greater Vancouver and the GTA, CREA

says. In particular, the changes are expected

to reduce sales activity in Calgary.

The forecast for national sales in 2015 has been

revised higher, refl ecting stronger than anticipated

activity in BC and Ontario. National sales are now

projected to rise by fi ve per cent to 504,000 units

for 2015, marking the second strongest year on

record for home sales in Canada.

British Columbia is projected to post the

largest annual increase in sales activity in 2015

(21.4 per cent), while Alberta (-21.4 per cent),

Saskatchewan (-10.8 per cent) and Nova Scotia

(-5.1 per cent) will record annual sales declines.

Activity in Manitoba is forecast to rise by 2.3 per

cent this year.

Home sales in Ontario are projected to rise by

9.3 per cent in 2015. The increase would in all

likelihood be higher were it not for a shortage

of lowrise homes in the GTA.

Sales in Quebec and New Brunswick are

forecast to rise by 4.8 per cent and 5.4 per cent

respectively compared to sluggish 2014 results.

Newfoundland and Labrador sales are forecast

to increase 3.2 per cent in 2015 on the back of a

rebound in the second half of the year. Activity

in Prince Edward Island, having benefi tted from

the lower Canadian dollar, is expected to be up

18.8 per cent from 2014 levels.

The annual forecast for national average

home price growth has been revised upward

to $442,600 this year, representing an increase

of 8.4 per cent.

British Columbia will be the only province this

year where average home prices rise faster (11.5

per cent) than the national average. The rise in

Ontario’s average price (eight per cent) is forecast

to be roughly in line with the national increase.

Elsewhere, average prices in 2015 are forecast

to rise by about two per cent in Manitoba,

Quebec and Nova Scotia, while falling 1.9 per

cent in Alberta, 2.7 per cent in Newfoundland

and Labrador and by less than one per cent

in Saskatchewan, New Brunswick and Prince

Edward Island.

TIME AND AGAIN, owning real estate

has proven to be a wise investment.

If you have not yet entered the

homeownership marketplace, now

would be a good time. Mortgage

interest rates continue at low

levels, and this single-digit rate

phenomenon will come to an end

some day.

When you shop for a condo,

think ahead and do some research

so you fi nd the best fi t for your

budget and lifestyle. Spend some

time online checking out builders

and communities in the area where

you would like to live. Location is

important in so many ways, from how

convenient it is to get to shopping,

schools and other amenities, to

your work commute. Explore

each building’s proximity to public

transportation and highways. Will the

condo feature a car-share program

and facilities to store bicycles? Even

better, can you walk to local shops and

services? If you do not have to own a

vehicle, that leaves a lot more potential

for how much condo you can a� ord.

Consider the architecture as

well. You need to feel comfortable

coming home to your building. Pay

careful attention to the amenities

included in the building. Remember

that amenities are one of the major

reasons why condominium living is

so much fun. You can access fi tness

facilities, party rooms, theatres, pools

and/or a raft of other common areas

that are uncommonly beautiful. These

amenities expand on your living space

and eliminate the need to leave home

to entertain, exercise and socialize.

When you are deciding what you

can a� ord in a condo, be careful to

count square footage as only one of

the parameters. The layout of your

suite will actually be more critical to

how livable it is for you. If the builder

has provided a model suite or two,

all the better! Walk through models

in person whenever you can to get

a true idea of the suite’s practicality

and potential.

When it comes to the bottom line,

ask questions. Is the builder o� ering

any special incentives, capped

mortgage rates or bonus o� ers?

Take advantage of every fi nancial

opportunity that comes your way.

Whatever you decide, my advice

is to buy new and buy now. Your

options depend on your budget, and

remember that you may be able to

create your perfect surroundings with

standard options. Remember that

when you sell someday, all things

being equal between two suites,

buyers will choose the one with

better fi nishes.

A MAJOR TORONTO newspaper

recently announced that they are no

longer going to allow comments on

articles and blogs on their website.

I totally understand that decision as

someone that regularly reads online

articles on the housing market. Every

article that discusses the highrise

condo market in Toronto includes the

same comments: Who wants to live in

all these glass boxes? Who is buying

all these new condominiums?

Based on a recent study by Canada

Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC),

investors are still buying condos in the

Toronto Census Metropolitan Area

(CMA). According to the report, there

are now almost 340,000 completed

condominium apartments in the

CMA, nearly 30,000 of which were

completed over the past 12 months.

On a percentage basis that is an

increase of 9.5 per cent, much larger

than the 4.7 per cent growth rate over

the previous fi ve years. The market is

defi nitely growing quickly, but how

much is too much?

Who is buying all the new condominiums in Toronto?By Ben Myers


CMHC reported that of the

340,000 condo units in the CMA,

over 103,000 were being rented out

by private landlords as of October

2015. Over 30 per cent of the stock

of suites are held by investors. There

is no doubt that confi dence in the

prospects for Toronto real estate

is near record highs, as investors

continue to buy rental properties. If

you break down the annually change

in total condo stock (plus 29,479

units) and the increase in condos that

were leased over the past 12 months

(plus 12,686 units), that equates to

approximately 43 per cent investor

participation. That fi gure is what I

would call “fuzzy math” because

some investors are selling o� the

older units they are renting out, and

some investors are buying resale units

to lease out. However, if you take

an average of the past fi ve years, it

equates to about 60 per cent investor

ownership of new condo units — in

line with developer estimates.

The condo investment market in

Toronto has really accelerated in the

past decade based on that 60 per

cent share, and investors really like

large projects in prime locations. The

share of investor ownership is largest

in buildings with 500 units or more

at 46 per cent. The vacancy rate in

these buildings declined year-over-

year from 1.2 per cent to one per

cent, and is the lowest among project

size ranges in the CMA. Investors also

prefer smaller units, as they are less

expensive to purchase, command

cheaper rent (and therefore are

fi nancially viable for a larger audience)

and are easiest and often quickest

to resell given Toronto’s a� ordability

crunch and the “youthifi cation” of

downtown. Average rental rates for

one-bedroom condo suites increased

5.3 per cent annually in the CMA

to $1,638 per month, in the City of

Toronto this unit type jumped 6.6 per

cent year-over-year to $1,680 per

month. Two-bedroom units actually

experienced a decline in average

rental rates from 2014.

It is clear from the recent data

that investors in the Toronto condo

market are increasing, but despite their

repeated formula of buying smaller

units in larger projects, vacancy rates

have remained low and rents have

increased despite the record-setting

growth in completed condos!

Condo investing is not easy and if

you’re looking to try your hand, make

sure you consult with a team that

knows the market. Happy hunting!

EVERYTHING YOU WANT, WITHOUT EVER LEAVING HOME

Live the carefree lifestyle you’ve been looking for without

the high maintenance fees. Each building features a

distinctively designed entranceway with lobby, lounge

seating and an underground parking garage. In addition,

each building features its own special amenity which is

shared among the three buildings. This includes a party

room and lounge, a multi-purpose room and a gym with a

range of weights and aerobic equipment.

A WORLD OF AMENITIES RIGHT AT YOUR DOORSTEP

Just steps away from an array of shopping, dining and

recreational destinations, Trafalgar Landing truly is at the

centre of it all. Oakville’s Uptown Core offers some of the

best lifestyle amenities including premium shopping, fine

dining, exceptional schools, parks and golf courses. Stay

connected with easy access to highways 403, 407 and the

QEW, as well as GO and Oakville Transit. With downtown

Oakville and its beautiful waterfront, Mississauga and the

City of Toronto all close at hand, it’s easy to go wherever

your heart desires.

BUILDING A BRIGHTER FUTURE

the way homes are built. Their cornerstones are great

locations, striking designs, construction technology,

construction allows Great Gulf to perfect every aspect

of your home. The end result is homes that are brighter,

healthier, more energy efficient and quite simply, better

built. Exceptional quality and value for today. Peace of

cover story

BREAKING WITH TRADITION, FOR ALL THE RIGHT REASONS

At the heart of Great Gulf’s master-planned community,

the boutique condominium residences of Trafalgar

Landing bring an entirely new urban architectural

language to the area — and then translate it perfectly

to this idyllic Oakville setting. The results are three

distinctively unique residences planned for the site: the

Archer, the Chelsea, and the Winslow, featuring designs

ranging from studios to three-bedrooms and priced from

the low $200s.

Urban living, with an Oakville addressIntroducing three new premium residences by Great Gulf

A BEACON OF STYLE IN THE SUBURBS

Distinctively modern in approach, the exterior design

of the boutique condominium residences at Trafalgar

Landing elegantly blend stone, metal and wood in a way

that conveys an air of both sophistication and warmth.

The balconies in particular make generous use of design

accents, helping to ensure that the outdoor spaces are

just as inviting as those within. Stand out features include:

» Nine-ft. ceilings

» Floating wood grain flooring in the living room, dining

room and kitchen

Property Profile | BLUE DIAMOND

IMPERIAL PLAZA IS NOT just another

typical condominium development.

Camrost-Felcorp’s master-planned

Imperial Plaza community, set atop

the escarpment along St. Clair Avenue

West, boasts the city’s best views,

and has become a new centre of

gravity for Forest Hill and Deer Park,

reinvigorating two of Toronto’s most

sought-after neighbourhoods.

The project began with the

retrofit and restoration of the

historic 23-storey former Imperial

Oil headquarters at 111 St. Clair Ave.

W. — “one of this country’s greatest

modernist buildings,” says Camrost-

Felcorp President and CEO, David

Feldman — into a mixed-use luxury

condominium. Imperial Plaza’s grand

restored marble lobby features the

newly opened The Market by Longo’s

with Starbucks, and an LCBO, both

prominently displaying on their

walls the original building’s iconic

York Wilson’s Story of Oil mural. “It’s

transforming the neighbourhood,”

Feldman says of the retail. “It’s great

to see everyone with smiles on their

faces, and now you can get a bottle

of wine at the same time as your

groceries.”

A second residential tower is under

construction on the rear portion of

the Imperial Plaza site, and next door

Camrost-Felcorp has launched the

Imperial Plaza communitySecond phase of master-planned community, Blue Diamond, delivers more luxury residences

development’s second phase, Blue

Diamond, a 28-storey glass building

that will incorporate parts of the

historic decommissioned former Deer

Park United Church, which has stood

at the corner of St. Clair Avenue and

Foxbar Road for a century. Designed

by Diamond Schmitt Architects, Blue

Diamond’s tower will rise behind an

open-air public courtyard enclosed

by the original exterior walls of the

1913 building.

Residences at Blue Diamond

range from 485 to more than 1,800

sq. ft. and are priced from the mid-

$300s. There will also be a collection

of modern luxury three-storey

townhomes on Foxbar, the quiet

residential street along the property’s

southern side, previewing soon.

All buildings at Imperial Plaza are

perched atop the escarpment that

yields unrivalled panoramic views. In the

1960s, the Imperial Oil building’s top-

floor observation deck, 800 ft. above

sea level, was Toronto’s highest point.

Luxury and lifestyle are top

priorities at Imperial Plaza, which

has a 20,000-sq.-ft. shared amenity

complex, Imperial Club, complete

with state-of-the-art fitness centre,

indoor pool and whirlpool spa, squash

courts, yoga/pilates studio, golf

simulator and sound-insulated music

room.

The building has a tastefully

landscaped courtyard, by Janet

Rosenberg & Studio, with a furnished

fireside patio and barbeques. Other

amenities include party room,

screening rooms, a media lounge

and multi-purpose games room.

“Amenities here are the finest in

the city,” says Feldman, noting that

Imperial Club occupies the entire

footprint of the old office building.

Imperial Plaza’s abundant on-site

offerings make the project highly

desirable for empty nesters and

families alike. The community enjoys

one of the city’s best locations,

bordering high-end neighbourhoods

like Forest Hill and Moore Park, with

top schools, great dining spots, chic

or casual shopping options, and

abundant green space. Best of all, the

community is served by the St. Clair

streetcar and two TTC subway lines

just a short walk away.

Imperial Plaza’s first phase is taking

occupancy and select residences

are available for sale, including the

Imperial Suites (608 to 1,675 sq. ft.)

and Imperial Lofts and Flats

(710 to 1,160 sq. ft.). Prices

range from $474,900 to more than

$1.5 million. Meticulously designed by

The Design Agency, select suites

feature 10-ft. ceilings, laminate

plank flooring, and kitchens with

stone countertops and integrated

appliances.

“Imperial Plaza is the gold standard

in luxury condominium living, and

these residences represent the

pinnacle of that unique experience,”

says Feldman, whose company

is an industry leader with more than

35 years of experience developing

landmark condominiums. “The

community we’re creating here

celebrates an extraordinary past while

helping to write the next chapter

Property Profile | BLUE DIAMOND

IMPERIAL PLAZA IS NOT just another

typical condominium development.

Camrost-Felcorp’s master-planned

Imperial Plaza community, set atop

the escarpment along St. Clair Avenue

West, boasts the city’s best views,

and has become a new centre of

gravity for Forest Hill and Deer Park,

reinvigorating two of Toronto’s most

sought-after neighbourhoods.

The project began with the

retrofit and restoration of the

historic 23-storey former Imperial

Oil headquarters at 111 St. Clair Ave.

W. — “one of this country’s greatest

modernist buildings,” says Camrost-

Felcorp President and CEO, David

Feldman — into a mixed-use luxury

condominium. Imperial Plaza’s grand

restored marble lobby features the

newly opened The Market by Longo’s

with Starbucks, and an LCBO, both

prominently displaying on their

walls the original building’s iconic

York Wilson’s Story of Oil mural. “It’s

transforming the neighbourhood,”

Feldman says of the retail. “It’s great

to see everyone with smiles on their

faces, and now you can get a bottle

of wine at the same time as your

groceries.”

A second residential tower is under

construction on the rear portion of

the Imperial Plaza site, and next door

Camrost-Felcorp has launched the

development’s second phase, Blue

Diamond, a 28-storey glass building

that will incorporate parts of the

historic decommissioned former Deer

Park United Church, which has stood

at the corner of St. Clair Avenue and

Foxbar Road for a century. Designed

by Diamond Schmitt Architects, Blue

Diamond’s tower will rise behind an

open-air public courtyard enclosed

by the original exterior walls of the

1913 building.

Residences at Blue Diamond

range from 485 to more than 1,800

sq. ft. and are priced from the mid-

$300s. There will also be a collection

of modern luxury three-storey

townhomes on Foxbar, the quiet

residential street along the property’s

southern side, previewing soon.

All buildings at Imperial Plaza are

perched atop the escarpment that

yields unrivalled panoramic views. In the

1960s, the Imperial Oil building’s top-

floor observation deck, 800 ft. above

sea level, was Toronto’s highest point.

Luxury and lifestyle are top

priorities at Imperial Plaza, which

has a 20,000-sq.-ft. shared amenity

complex, Imperial Club, complete

with state-of-the-art fitness centre,

indoor pool and whirlpool spa, squash

courts, yoga/pilates studio, golf

simulator and sound-insulated music

room.

The building has a tastefully

landscaped courtyard, by Janet

Rosenberg & Studio, with a furnished

fireside patio and barbeques. Other

amenities include party room,

screening rooms, a media lounge

and multi-purpose games room.

“Amenities here are the finest in

the city,” says Feldman, noting that

Imperial Club occupies the entire

footprint of the old office building.

Imperial Plaza’s abundant on-site

offerings make the project highly

desirable for empty nesters and

families alike. The community enjoys

one of the city’s best locations,

bordering high-end neighbourhoods

like Forest Hill and Moore Park, with

top schools, great dining spots, chic

or casual shopping options, and

abundant green space. Best of all, the

community is served by the St. Clair

streetcar and two TTC subway lines

just a short walk away.

Imperial Plaza’s first phase is taking

occupancy and select residences

are available for sale, including the

Imperial Suites (608 to 1,675 sq. ft.)

and Imperial Lofts and Flats

(710 to 1,160 sq. ft.). Prices

range from $474,900 to more than

$1.5 million. Meticulously designed by

The Design Agency, select suites

feature 10-ft. ceilings, laminate

plank flooring, and kitchens with

stone countertops and integrated

appliances.

“Imperial Plaza is the gold standard

in luxury condominium living, and

these residences represent the

pinnacle of that unique experience,”

says Feldman, whose company

is an industry leader with more than

35 years of experience developing

landmark condominiums. “The

community we’re creating here

celebrates an extraordinary past while

helping to write the next chapter

in an exciting future for this entire

neighbourhood.”

ON-SITE DEMOLITION has begun to make

way for construction of The Eglinton, a new

condominium by Menkes in the heart of

Toronto’s hottest neighbourhood, Yonge

and Eglinton.

This milestone brings The Eglinton one step

closer to reality for those who want to live in a

vibrant, walkable community close to eateries,

entertainment, offices, schools and parks, and for

savvy buyers who realize the neighbourhood’s

growing appeal.

“This important milestone in the construction

process is exciting not only for our team at

Menkes, but for our buyers as well,” says Jared

Menkes, vice president highrise residential.

“Demolition is a strong visual cue to purchasers

and local residents that we are one step

closer to making The Eglinton a reality —

right in the heart of Toronto’s fastest growing

neighbourhood.”

Transit is a top priority these days and it’s easy

to get to any part of the city with The Eglinton’s

convenient access to the Eglinton subway

station and the Eglinton Crosstown LRT.

The striking 34-storey glass tower designed

by Giannone Petricone Associates is set on

the south side of Eglinton Avenue East, just

blocks from the corner of Yonge and Eglinton.

Although the neighbourhood abounds with

lifestyle choices, The Eglinton offers an

NAK Design Group has created the ideal

outdoor setting for socializing or relaxing, with

a landscaped terrace with sun deck, lounge

seating, barbecue facilities and outdoor dining

area, overlooking Forest Hill and North Toronto

and the city skyline south to Lake Ontario.

backsplash; stainless steel under-mounted

sinks with single lever faucet; and, brand name

appliances. The master ensuite includes an

MNID custom vanity with cultured marble

top and integrated sink, full width mirror and

soaker tub.

With demolition underway, purchasers are

one step closer to enjoying all The Eglinton has

to off er, including a prime location, dynamic

neighbourhood, superbly designed building and

amazing amenities. Occupancy of The Eglinton

is anticipated for Fall 2018.

WHETHER YOU’RE purchasing a

home for the fi rst time, are a

seasoned buyer moving in the

market or purchasing a retirement

condominium, the very action of this

signifi cant investment in real estate

represents a major life change.

There are a number of issues that

you should consider in order to

ensure that your house is in order.

1. How will I hold the title?

If more than one person is buying

the property, it is necessary to decide

how they will share the title.

There are two ways people

can hold title together. The fi rst is

generally the way we hold title with

our spouses or children, which is

called “joint tenancy.” This means that

upon the death of one of the parties,

the remaining party automatically


becomes the owner of the whole

property without having to inherit it or

having it pass through an estate. The

reason is simply that all owners on

title own the whole property rather

than a part each.

The other way title can be held is as

“tenants in common.” Here each party

only owns the percentage allocated

to them, although the physical part

owned is not described. Upon the

death of a tenant in common, his

or her percentage of the ownership

goes to their heirs in accordance with

their will or law. Therefore, remember

to discuss this issue when you go see

your lawyer.

2. What about a will?

If you have a will, is it up to date

and does it represent your current

situation or state of a� airs? It is

important, especially if you have

young children, to have your wills

completed; not so much for the

money, but for a clear resolution of

the issue of custody if something

happens to both parents.

A will stops sibling disputes, takes

care of who will look after children,

keeps the government out of

your a� airs, allows for an orderly

disposition of your assets, and will

allow you to determine how you are

to be buried.

A power of attorney is used

when you are physically or mentally

incapacitated — there are two kinds.

The fi rst is for your body (what care

you will or will not receive). Your

representative will determine that.

The other is for the management of

your fi nancial a� airs.

Now is the time to create a will.

Speak to your lawyer and ensure that

this important matter is dealt with.

3. What about insurance?

You will need insurance for the house.

This is a great time to look at life and

disability insurance, and determine if

you should be insuring your mortgage

in case something happens to the

major wage earner.

DONNED IN THEIR tennis whites, over 600 guests attended

the Smashed Ping Pong Tournament held at Muzik

Nightclub in October 2015 by Zancor Homes and Lifetime

Developments. While only one person earned bragging

rights and took home the trophy from the fourth annual

Smashed Tournament, the real winner was the Lifeline

Foundation.

Returning for the second consecutive year, Lifeline

was chosen as the recipient of the proceeds raised from

Smashed — one of the development industry’s most

successful fundraising events. Lifeline was formed by

Lifetime Developments to provide aid and support for

Toronto’s vulnerable and at-risk communities.

The 2015 event was an outstanding success that raised

more than $200,000 for Lifeline, double the record-

breaking proceeds raised from 2014’s event.

“We are extremely impressed by, and grateful for,

the participation of so many who helped make this

year’s Smashed event such a hit,” says Brian Brown,

vice president, Lifetime Developments. “The generosity

of those supporting the event, including members of

the development industry and friends of Lifetime, was

overwhelming and demonstrates a shared concern for

Torontonians in need,” says Brown.

Lifeline’s mission is to provide aid and support for

Toronto’s homeless and at-risk communities by raising

awareness and funds, and by facilitating various hands-on

initiatives and on-the-street activities to improve the lives

of those at risk. Lifeline is dedicated to building healthy

communities and uses the funds raised to support local

organizations and initiatives with an emphasis on youth

on the street, food bank services, and counselling and

educational services.

Since being founded in 2014, Lifetime Developments

and Lifeline have supported a number of local charities

and initiatives within the City of Toronto including:

Second Harvest, Covenant House, Children’s Food Bank,

Woodgreen, Eva’s Initiatives, Breakfast for Learning,

Blessings in a Backpack, Baycrest, The Mikey Network

and Unity Charity.

“Through fundraising initiatives like Smashed, our

annual food drive and social media contests associated

Trending

with our development projects, we

remain committed to o� ering at-risk

individuals and families in Toronto

a much needed lifeline,” says Brian

Brown. “We are eager and greatly

looking forward to supporting even

more local initiatives in the city

through 2016.”

come to Ontario because of our

The Greater Golden Horseshoe

will add three million residents — a

45-per-cent increase — for a total

population of 13.5 million.

It is important that we have a

communities and requiring changes

in our existing neighbourhoods.

Ontario’s celebrated and cherished

Greenbelt protects more than 1.8

million acres around the GGH. It

needs to be improved and enhanced

to help our communities create new

animal and plant habitats, clean our

water and provide new points of

public access for residents to enjoy.

Investing in a Smart Greenbelt will

improve our quality of life.

The Growth Plan was created to

complement the Greenbelt — to

answer the question of where we

put those three million new people

— in a thoughtful and proactive way.

These decisions impact every aspect

of community building in our region,

and everyone should have an opinion

about it.

Acting as chair of the Greenbelt

Growth Plan review panel, David

Crombie was asked to help us

understand how connected these

plans are to Ontario’s future.

Connecting the dots is always

a challenge when discussing why

and how new housing comes to

communities.

It is sometimes di� cult for existing

neighbours to appreciate how new

urban townhouses in midtown

Toronto help protect rural agricultural

lands. It is equally di� cult to explain

that a 40-storey condo built into a

future subway station will improve

the water service and prevent future

basement fl ooding. It is even more

di� cult to explain that new GO

service will require new transit-

inspired communities fi lled with

people who will use GO and help

focus growth to reduce congestion

on our highways and roads.

The Ontario Home Builders’

Association has been trying to help

connect those dots.

Working with the Pembina

Institute, we released “Making Way

for Midrise: How to build more

homes in walkable, transit-connected

neighbourhoods,” a report that

showed how intensifi cation in transit-

oriented communities will allow some

cities to build up instead of out.

Applying smart growth principles

means building new housing and

o� ces along subway and transit lines.

These communities will improve the

quality of life for existing and new

residents, while helping preserve

productive farmland.

I often hear the familiar criticism

about 1970s suburban sprawl, but

today’s planning isn’t a Joni Mitchell

song. Paving “paradise to put up a

parking lot” isn’t an option; we need

to connect the dots because we are

all connected in this community.

The Greenbelt and Growth Plan are

the cornerstones of progressive smart

planning in Ontario. We are building

better communities today because

we all deserve to have the best quality

of life.

Improving our quality of life by building great communities

GREAT GULF BROKE ground on

a 45-storey, 680-unit landmark

condominium in the heart of

downtown Toronto at an o� cial

groundbreaking ceremony.

Located at the southeast corner of

Richmond Street East and Victoria

Street, Yonge + Rich is perfectly

situated between the Financial

District and the St. Lawrence Market

neighbourhood. City of Toronto

Deputy Mayor Denzil Minnan-Wong

and other special guests were on

hand for the ceremony.

“From its dynamic location,

to its provocative architecture,

outstanding amenities and luxurious

fi nishes, Yonge + Rich represents

the new standard of excellence

for a condominium development

in the heart of Toronto. We’re very

proud to have accomplished such

a great design while preserving

and incorporating the existing

heritage property,” said Christopher

Wein, president, Great Gulf. “This

development is unique in the

fact that we have created two

condominiums in one building:

market units have been designed

for the fi rst 34 fl oors, with luxury

units created for fl oors 35 to 45.

Each group of condominiums has its

own lobby, elevators and amenities.

With an exceptional design team

including the acclaimed Peter

Clewes of architectsAlliance,

Diego Burdi of Burdifi lek

International Design and DTAH

landscape architects, Yonge + Rich

raises the bar for savvy buyers who

want to live in downtown Toronto.”

Great Gulf preserves 19th century heritage property at the groundbreaking of the highly anticipated Yonge + Rich condominium

Great Gulf’s reputation as a

premium condominium builder is a

result of 40 years of experience and a

commitment to superior design and

cutting-edge technology. Yonge +

Rich has two addresses, 25 Richmond

St. E. and 20 Lombard St., embracing

two outstanding residences in one

tower, o� ering purchasers two

distinct lifestyles — small to midsize

suites on the lower fl oors up to 900

sq. ft., to larger suites on the upper

fl oors up to 2,000 sq. ft.

With amazing balconies of up to

900 sq. ft., lush landscaping and

incredible amenities including 24/7

concierge service, the building’s

height will provide spectacular

views. The base of the building will

feature shops and a walkway under

the tower that will o� er a direct

connection from Lombard Street to

Richmond Street East. This podium

is designed to complement the four-

storey red brick heritage building

at the south end of the property.

The building dates to the late 19th

century and Great Gulf is restoring it

as part of the community.

Advice | TARION REPORT

BUYING A HOME is a milestone in a

person’s life. It signifi es achievement,

stability and a place to lay down

your roots. And with about 50,000

new homes being taken possession

of each year across Ontario, that’s

a lot of people’s time, investment

and dreams for the future resting on

these foundations.

For the majority of new-home

owners, the experience is a positive

one. Most builders stand behind their

construction and make repairs when

needed. But for some, the experience

is not typical. They discover defects

in their new home, and sometimes,

their builder doesn’t make the proper

repairs. Thankfully, all new homes

in Ontario come with a seven-year

warranty that is provided by your

builder, and backed by Tarion.

Tarion is here to make sure the

new home buying process is working.

We set the standards when it comes

to licensing and after sales service

delivery for warranty obligations. We

step in when your builder cannot

or will not fulfi ll their warranty

obligations. And at the end of the day,

we are here to ensure builders stand

by their construction and provide you

with the new home that you signed

for.

Tarion’s registration process is

designed to ensure builders have the

competence and fi nancial means to

build homes. We list every registered

builder in the Ontario Builder

Directory, searchable on tarion.com.

Any builder that is not listed in this

directory is not a registered builder in

Ontario, and may be building illegally.

If a builder isn’t registered with Tarion,

it may be because they couldn’t pass

a technical test or demonstrate solid

fi nances.

We fi nd that illegal building often

leads to poorly constructed homes

with Ontario Building Code violations

and other serious defects. Illegal

builders have run o� with people’s

deposits, or left them with homes that

are unfi nished and uninhabitable. Not

too long ago, a couple came to Tarion

looking for our help. They gave a builder

almost $1 million to build them their

dream home. The home was never

completed and the builder took o� with

their money. We helped prosecute this

builder who received a jail sentence

for his crime. We also issued a deposit

claim for the homebuyers.

It is not only stories like this that

emphasize the necessity of a Tarion-

backed warranty. It is also the need

for all new home builders to be held

accountable to certain standards in

construction and customer service

in order to ensure the entire process

is working. With almost 40 years of

protecting new-home buyers, Tarion

has registered close to two million

new homes throughout the province

and has continued to raise the bar in

terms of standards in the new home

building industry. And it all comes

down to standing behind each and

every new home, so that the new

homeownership experience continues

to be a positive one for Ontarians.

new home warranty rights, visit

WANT TO ELEVATE your condo look

without having to spend a week living

in a hotel — or living in a construction

zone? I’ve put together some of my

top tips for giving your home a major

boost without tearing open the walls,

for a big decor upgrade at any time.

Area Rugs» Don’t want to commit to

wallpaper? This is where a large area

rug comes in to add that sense of

richness and texture in a big way.

Even if you have beautiful hardwood

fl oors, a large rug adds a layer of

new texture (and optionally a pop of

colour) while defi ning a seating or

dining area, with a softness that adds


a sense of “home.” When it’s time for

change, roll up the rug and place it in

a new space, or resell it as vintage.

» Size your rug to tuck fully under

the furniture. For biggest impact run a

custom sized rug from almost wall to

wall in one area, leaving a 12-18-inch

border of exposed fl oor. A custom cut

plain (solid colour) carpet can achieve

this look without breaking the budget.

Wallpaper Murals» Another way to add the feeling of

wallpaper without all the labour is to

use a single roll of paper and hang

it poster style across one accent

wall (for the casual sophistication

of a Paris apartment), or cut it to fi ll

oversized gallery frames.

» Using a grid of 10, 20-by-20 in.

frames, you can fi ll an area over three

ft. tall and 8 in. wide, perfect for

livening up a wall in the sitting area or

a hallway.

Layered Lighting» No amount of pot lights in the

ceiling can provide enough even

lighting to unlock your space’s full

potential. Plug-in sconces with

beautiful cords are perfect for fl anking

a sofa or cabinet, and will help

balance the heavy furniture piece with

some extra light.

» Try a long swing-arm sconce to

add light over harder to reach places,

like on a compact desk or over a

favourite reading chair.

Headboards» Upgrading to an oversized,

upholstered headboard can really

fi ll in the look of a bedroom space,

especially if you choose an extra tall

style to give some play of heights.

Many companies supply standalone

headboards that can be attached

to any bed, so you can make this

upgrade without changing your

existing frame and mattress.

» Choose an oatmeal beige to subtly

contrast white walls, or use a royal

blue for a restful pop of colour (and

leave the sheets clean and white).

Regal Mouldings» Whenever possible now I usually

install extra deep baseboard (8 in.

plus) in homes to give a high-end

European look. You can upgrade just

your baseboards to give your walls

a new look, or for an even easier

solution simply add an extra strip

of moulding above the top of your

baseboards to stretch the existing a

little taller.

» Also consider adding crown

moulding, especially in places

like ceiling coves or windowless

bathrooms. It fi nishes the ceiling in a

stately way that lends a sense of history.

Mixed Textures» Perfectly matched furniture can

be pleasant, but sometimes lack in

personality. Mixing di� erent materials

and textures gives a sense of energy,

so try contrasting opposites, like

warm wood versus sleek mirror, or

crisp stainless steel against antiqued

bronze, and mix di� erent fabrics like

leather and wool for di� erent hand-

feels.

» A sofa with two chairs is a classic

seating confi guration, but there’s no rule

that says the chairs have to be the same.

Try a low lounger for when you feel like

sinking in, and a more formal upright

seat for reading or conversation —

mixing periods and silhouettes will give

your home a little edge.

Flowers» A vase of fresh fl owers isn’t only for

magazine shoots — a few blossoms

can add life to your space. One of

my favourite clients would keep vivid

carnation blossoms in bud vases and

this simple touch gave a sense of care

to her entire home.

» In the bathroom blooms are extra-

unexpected; add a live tropical orchid

to your vanity or perched on a stool

next to the shower/tub.

CALGARY, EDMONTON and other markets already

experiencing a cooling are expected to be among

the cities hardest hit by the federal government’s new

minimum down payment requirement.

Finance Minister Bill Morneau on Dec. 11 announced

changes to the rules for government-backed mortgage

insurance, intended to contain risks in the housing market,

reduce taxpayer exposure and support long-term stability.

E� ective Feb. 15, 2016, the minimum down payment for

new insured mortgages will increase from fi ve per cent

to 10 per cent for the portion of the house price above

$500,000. The fi ve-per-cent minimum down payment

for properties up to $500,000 remains unchanged.

The move represents a graduated approach to

increasing the down payment requirement proportionally

to the cost of a home. Canadians who already hold

mortgages will not be a� ected by this announcement.

“The government’s role in housing is to set and maintain

a framework that is equitable, stable and sustainable,”

Morneau says. “The actions taken today prudently address

emerging vulnerabilities in certain housing markets, while

not overburdening other regions. They also rebalance

government support for the housing sector to promote

long-term stability and balanced economic growth.

“This measure will increase homeowner equity, which

plays a key role in maintaining a stable and secure housing

market and economy over the long term,” he adds. “It also

protects all homeowners, including many middle class

Canadians whose greatest investment is in their homes.”

In making the announcement, Morneau also highlighted

the increases in guarantee fees for Canada Mortgage

and Housing Corp. (CMHC)-sponsored securitization

programs, announced by CMHC.

So, what might all this mean for consumers?

For those in Calgary, Edmonton and even Victoria, BC,

the move could have the unintended consequences of

imparting additional cooling on already chilly markets.

CIBC Deputy Chief Economist Benjamin Tal says the

largest impact will be felt in Calgary, due to the large share

of high-ratio mortgages. In this city, the new measures are

estimated to impact about 10 per cent of new sales, while

in Toronto the fi gure is fi ve per cent; in Vancouver, just

2.5 per cent.

Overall, the ramifi cations of the move should be fairly

minimal. “It will only a� ect a small number of buyers,”

James Laird, president of mortgage broker CanWise

Financial, told YPNextHome. “People in the a� ected group

may need to rent a little bit longer until they save the extra

Trending

down payment required. They may still buy where they’re

planning to by getting help from family. Or they may still

buy right away, but buy a slightly smaller home than they

were planning to.”

The changes primarily target high-end homebuyers —

“two young professionals earning pretty good incomes,”

Laird adds. “They are purchasing in this $500,000 to

$1 million bracket.

“The other thing to think about is that it really shouldn’t

a� ect non-fi rst-time homebuyers. Presumably, they’d be

selling their previous home to buy another home, and

there’d be enough equity in their home.”

Toronto-based mortgage broker and wealth planner

Calum Ross expects the new rules to cause a spike in

activity before the deadline.

“Unexpected changes to the market that make access

to capital more di¡ cult historically have had a signifi cant

short-term impact, followed by an adjustment,” he told

YPNextHome.

“Expect market activity to go up substantially on homes

priced between $500,000 and $1 million through until

the deadline. Personally, the only surprise part of this

announcement is why they didn’t do this sooner. The

fact people were able to do fi ve per cent down beyond

$500,000 was ridiculous to begin with. Homeownership

is a privilege, not a right.”

THE WORD EXPANSIVE applies to

Islington-City Centre West, an area

that stretches over a huge swath.

Not that it doesn’t o� er options for

leisure activities, particularly around

Bloor and Rathburn, with parks and

trails aplenty, but there is a distinct

commercial vibe. Subway to work,

drive to Sherway for shopping or take

in a fl ick at the Queensway Cineplex

VIP. But casual strolling to shops,

restaurants and spas? Not so much.

Vibe

You’ll get a di� erent feel depending

on where you are. The Queensway

is enjoying a spate of development,

with new midrise condos and retail

expansion to complement existing

commercial presence. Head north

and you’ll pass through a mix of

industrial areas and small retail plazas,

with older single-family homes in

Neighbourhood Profi le


Islington-City Centre West

quieter residential streets. Highrise

rentals are also prevalent.

Meet the neighbours

There’s a large contingent of families

with children, mostly in the six to 14

years age range. NHL player David

Clarkson and his family were among

them – until early 2014. He lived in

the area around Kipling and Bloor,

often taking the subway to “work” at

the Air Canada Centre.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Islington-City Centre West boasts an

excellent location – with proximity

to Hwy. 427 and the QEW, as well

as Kipling station where the GO

Train connects with the TTC’s Bloor

subway line. Heavy truck tra� c is

noticeable in the southern area

populated by light industry and big

box stores, but head north through

the residential streets around Bloor

and Burnhamthorpe and you’ll fi nd

lots of greenspace and paths.

Real estate

Residential streets in the north are

quiet, with large mature trees and

nice lots, as well as plenty of rental

options. Motorist tra� c along the

Queensway can test your patience

at times, especially heading east

during the morning rush hour, while

the industrial plazas and warehouses

around North Queen apply a bit of a

blue-collar feel to the area.

IN THE HOT TORONTO location of Danforth and

Oak Park avenues, On The Danforth Condo

is making a stir in the city’s condominium

scene. Prices beginning in the mid-$200s are

incredible, considering the condo’s proximity to

restaurants, shops and services on the Danforth,

the Woodbine and Main subway stations, and

the Main/Danforth GO Train station. Prospective

buyers are even more impressed when they

walk through the model suite and see the

design and construction quality they get for

these price points.

According to Carmen Dragomir of esQape

Design, the design fi rm enlisted by developer

Diam Developments to appoint the interiors,

“This 882-sq.-ft., two-bedroom-plus-den

model is laid out beautifully and can fi t the

needs of everyone from singles to couples and

families,” Dragomir says. “The second bedroom

could serve as a guest bedroom, nursery or

studio. Owners might use the den as a dining

area or home o� ce. These multi-functional

spaces make the most of every square foot.”

The model is appointed with mostly

standards, so “people really see the quality,”

Dragomir says.“ The kitchen island Caesarstone

countertop is standard, but the waterfall side

panels are upgrades. Other than that, the

kitchen features and fi nishes are standard.”

Among these are 9-ft. ceilings (10 ft. in

penthouses), fi ve kitchen appliances, quartz

kitchen countertops, and laminate fl ooring that

resembles wood in a light colour. “The fl ooring

contrasts with the darker kitchen we chose,”

she adds. “With the dark cabinetry resembling

furniture and creating a background for the

other furniture, the kitchen ties in seamlessly

with the rest of the open-concept living area.”

esQape Design also added wall frames that

make the furnishings in front of them stand out

as focal points. “Anyone can add a wall frame

like this to add an interesting visual dimension.”

Another approach that spurred their choices

for decor and accessories is an eclectic design

approach. “Empty nesters and other couples

and families often move into a condo having

collected items from their travels over the years.

Trending

This suite is a great example of how you can combine modern decor

grounded in transitional, or even in some cases, traditional items.

The sofa is a contemporary shape with transitional tufting, and the

matching co� ee and end table have marble tops with transitional

curved metal bases.”

Dragomir used frames again in the two bedrooms, but with

opposite colours to illustrate how much fl exibility people have to

personalize their space. The ensuite is done in a tone-on-tone

palette that complements the white, light gray and light taupe

used throughout the suite. “The use of neutrals really helps people

personalize their surroundings, because they can change their look

with splashes of colour in furnishings and accessories,” Dragomir

explains. To bring the elements together, Dragomir used accents in

green and yellow in keeping with the condominium’s logo.

Interiors by esQape Design Inc. include the boutique-inspired

lobby where concierge service will be provided, a multi-purpose

room with a kitchen and private dining room opening onto outdoor

terraces. Club Danny will feature a fi tness area/outdoor yoga space,

lounge, WiFi lounge, fi replace and rooftop terrace with a barbecue

area. All of this is framed by a terraced contemporary exterior by

onespace that provides stunning views of the city and lake.

The Presentation Centre is located at 2359 Danforth Ave. (south

side of Danforth, east of Woodbine). Call 647.348.9009 or visit

THE IDEAL HOPE FOUNDATION was

established to enrich the lives of

those in need by providing homes

for everyone, to keep families

together and call upon others to do

the same. Its mission is to provide

homes, inspire hope and contribute

to the development of sustainable

communities in the developing world.

This will be accomplished through

an integrated approach to both

the funding and implementation of

Ideal Hope.

Ideal Developments shares this

same philosophy, and to this end

established the BuildHaven program.

The BuildHaven program gives

Ideal Developments homebuyers

the power to make a true di� erence

without lifting a hand or spending an

extra dollar. We call it BuildHaven and

what it means, is this: for every home

that Ideal Developments sells, we

will also build a home for a deserving

family in the developing world.

Trending

Ideal Hope Foundation

In summer 2015, Ideal Developments successfully launched Modern

Manors, a unique collection of 60 modern-inspired homes in Richmond

Hill, starting from the 400s with sizes ranging from 885 sq. ft. to 1,329

sq. ft. These homes feature an abundance of outdoor living space,

including rooftop terraces and patios, suites that are appointed with the

fi nest fi nishes, open concept layouts, and professional-inspired kitchens

that deliver the ultimate culinary experience.

BuildHaven is the fi rst program of its kind in Canada, perhaps the

world, and represents a strong philosophy of giving back to those

in need. This program goes beyond building homes and rebuilds

communities as a whole.

BuildHaven works with a level of transparency, integrity and

openness to encourage others to participate. Customers can take

pride in knowing that they contributed directly to improving the

lives of those in need simply by purchasing a home from Ideal

Developments, where dreams truly do become a reality. Pictures of

these moments will be shared on idealhope.org, and customers will

be given contact information and pictures of their partner family so

that the bond established between them can continue into the future

should they wish.

BuildHaven speaks to the heart of what Ideal Developments

is all about. A home builder who wants to make the lives of their

customers and the world a better place at the same time.

KYLEMORE COMMUNITIES’ trades, sta� and suppliers have

once again answered the call to help brighten the holidays

for York Region families at Christmas. In mid-November,

the Markham-based luxury home builder held its annual

holiday party and welcomed 400 guests who were asked

to bring a new toy.

For a third consecutive year, the toys collected were

donated to the Christmas Food and Toy Drive organized

by Unionville Alliance Church (UAC), which in turn

distributes hampers to families in the area. Russell Foy,

UAC Hampers of Hope volunteer, was on hand to receive

the toys. “We are extremely grateful to Kylemore and their

many partners for the wonderful boost our annual toy

drive receives. With their support we have been able to

increase the number of families we help at this time of

year,” he said.

Well known for his philanthropy and charitable work,

Patrick O’Hanlon, president, Kylemore Communities said,

“Lending a hand to help others is what unites a community

and strengthens our ties to each other. It is part of our

DNA to give generously and it’s heartwarming to know

that the Christmas season will be brighter for many

children because of the generous donations our guests

made to the toy drive.”

ADI DEVELOPMENT GROUP is building a new

junction for real estate and transit in one of

Burlington’s fastest growing neighbourhoods.

Strategically situated along one of the

GTA’s busiest transit corridors, StationWest

by Adi Development Group responds to a

key demographic demanding relief from

commuter strain.

“With StationWest, we’re not just building

for today. We’re targeting connectivity and

walkability to build for the future,” says Tariq Adi,

CEO of Adi Development Group. “We’re creating

a mobility hub that acknowledges the present

and future of this booming region.”

A recent Angus Reid Institute survey illustrates

a mounting GTA housing and transit crisis,

with millennial buyers being priced out of the

region and GTA commuters still dependent on

congested highways.

Adi Development Group addresses this major

concern, o� ering a lifestyle shift: homes that

o� er a balance of convenience and attainability.

“Developing mobility hubs is a key strategy for

the City of Burlington and particularly important

to our emerging west end,” says Rick Craven,

Ward 1 councillor. “Intensifi cation around the

GO station is great for Aldershot. Residents

will be within walking distance of public transit

while also taking advantage of all of the region’s

greenspace, from Hidden Valley to LaSalle Park.”

Connecting residents directly to Union Station

in less than an hour, StationWest’s fi rst phase

will consist of traditional and back-to-back

townhomes starting from the low $400s. Two-

and three-bedroom layouts ranging from about

1,200 to 2,200 sq. ft. are ideal for fi rst-time

homebuyers and families alike. An extension

of the Aldershot community to the south,

StationWest is designed to o� er new public

infrastructure within a private community, with

quiet walkways and parkland. Clever wayfi nding

creates separate pathways for residents and

visitors connecting pedestrians and cyclists to

the station.

“We as developers need to be thinking

about how to restore the balance between

comfort and convenience. At StationWest,

Trending

you can walk out of your door and onto the train while still coming

home to a quiet, green neighbourhood,” says Saud Adi, COO of Adi

Development Group.

StationWest also represents one of the last opportunities for new

lowrise development of this scale in Burlington under the Greenbelt

Act.

With StationWest, Adi Development Group brings its signature

cutting-edge contemporary aesthetic and attention to detail to lowrise.

Bold geometric facades by ICON Architects leverage a palette of

natural materials to create an eclectic, modern streetscape. Every

detail has been carefully selected with features typically reserved for

custom homes, from aluminum and frosted glass garage doors to

oversized windows and framed glass balconies.

The contemporary lifestyle shift continues with high-design

interiors featuring kitchens with innovative colour blocking by

Union31. Outdoor space has been prioritized; each home opens to

an expansive rooftop balcony or spacious backyard.

From the Waterdown Village to the shopping districts of

Aldershot’s Plains Road, StationWest o� ers urban accessibility,

celebrated parkland at the Royal Botanical Gardens, and waterfront

trails at LaSalle Park.

“This will be one of the last opportunities to own in a transit-

connected lowrise community of this size in Burlington.” says Adi.

Launching early 2016, phase one of StationWest will o� er

spacious layouts ranging from two- to three-bedrooms. Register

now to be among the fi rst to preview this anticipated community at

adidevelopments.com.

PURCHASING A HOME will be one of

the biggest investments you’ll ever

make. If you’re just starting to look,

there are a few steps you’ll need to

take before you can buy a home.

Determine how much you can a� ord

First, you have to determine what you

can a� ord. Your a� ordability is based

on your household income, your

current monthly debt payments and

the costs associated with owning a

home (such as property taxes, heating

costs, and condo fees).

A lender will also look at two

ratios to fi gure out how large your

mortgage can be. The fi rst is called

the gross debt service ratio. Your

monthly housing costs (principal and

interest, taxes, and heating costs)

shouldn’t be more than 32 per cent

of your gross income. The second

is called the total debt service ratio,

which includes your housing costs

as well as any loan expenses (such

as credit card and line of credit

payments, and car loans or leases).

This ratio shouldn’t be higher than 40

per cent of your gross income.


You also have to come up with

enough money to make a down

payment. You’ll need to have a

minimum of fi ve per cent. If you’re

able to come up with a down

payment of 20 per cent or more, you

won’t need mortgage loan insurance.

And you should also have money

saved for closing costs, which could

be between 1.5 and four per cent of

the purchase price of your property.

Dip into savings

Once you’ve determined how much

you’ll need, you’ll have to fi nd a

source for your down payment and

closing costs, one of which can be

your RRSP.

Under the Home Buyers’ Plan, you

can withdraw up to $25,000 from

your RRSP on a tax-free basis as

long as the funds have been in the

plan for more than 90 days. If you’re

purchasing a property with a partner

who’s also a fi rst-time buyer, you’ll

each be able with withdraw $25,000.

Keep in mind that the money has to

be paid back starting the second year

after you make the withdrawal and

you have up to 15 years to repay the

amount. If you don’t make an annual

payment, you’ll have to declare it as

taxable income on your tax return for

that year.

If your RRSPs or other savings

aren’t enough, your family may be

able to help you. In fact, an April 2015

BMO survey found 42 per cent of

fi rst-time buyers expect their parents

or relatives to help pay for their fi rst

home.

Shop for a mortgage

It can pay to shop around. If you

and your partner go with the

fi rst mortgage rate you fi nd, you

could end up paying a lot more.

Let’s assume the following: you

plan on buying a $500,000 home

with a $400,000 mortgage, your

amortization period will be 25 years,

and you have a fi ve-year fi xed rate of

3.5 per cent. That means your total

mortgage payment will be $1,997 a

month.

But if you do a little research, you

could save some money. If you’re

able to get a mortgage with a fi ve-

year fi xed rate of 2.5 per cent, your

payments will be $1,792, a di� erence

of $205 a month or $2,460 a year.

That’s why you should look for the

best mortgage rates.

You need to be ready fi nancially

before you’re able to purchase a

property. Knowing what steps are

involved to become a fi rst-time

homebuyer will allow you to start

your search for buying a home.

AS COLD WEATHER SETS in and the days get shorter and shorter, ensuring

our bedrooms feel like sanctuaries becomes so much more important.

The bedroom is such an easy place to overlook — and in my experience,

it’s often the last place busy parents will invest time and money. To ensure

you get the best sleep possible, here are some essential steps to creating

the best sleep retreat.

1. Get the best mattress you can a� ord We spend a third of

our day sleeping — so your mattress is a product that is absolutely worth

investing in! While it might be scary to look at a high ticket price on a

premium mattress, remember that a good mattress can last anywhere

from 5-10 years or longer. So a $2,500 mattress amortized over this

length of time ends up costing around the same price as your daily cup of

co� ee. And do ensure you try before you buy — don’t be shy to lie down

and toss and turn in the store to make sure it’s a perfect fi t.

2. Keep it dark Keeping a room dark plays a huge impact on quality

of sleep for both adults and children. Before going to bed, put lights on

a dimmer (an easy change an electrician can do if you don’t have them

currently) to mentally prepare your body for rest. Then ensure you have

black out window coverings for the best light fastness. In children’s rooms

especially, I love using side channels that a company like Budget Blinds

can install to keep light out from the small gaps that typically occur on the

sides of roller shades.

3. Keep it dramatic I love creating cozy bedrooms. In my space I

used a deep indigo blue called Krimson Lake by CIL Paints. It is absolutely

a myth that dark colours are inappropriate for small spaces — in a small

space dark paint can make a room feel cozy, dramatic and inviting. I took

the drama one step further by installing applied moulding from Metrie’s

Very Square collection. Applied moulding painted out the same colour as

the walls is a modern take on a more traditional architectural application.

4. Keep it clean Commit to keeping the bedroom the cleanest

room in the house. At the end of a chaotic day, who wants to return to

chaos? Commit to using laundry hampers, to putting clean laundry away

immediately and to making the bed daily. Making the bed, if you don’t

do so already, is a really simple task that will yield huge wins and build

momentum for keeping the rest of the room tidy as well.

5. Make it smell good I use an essential oil di� user in the bedroom

in the morning to get me energized and in the evening to get my body

ready for sleep. A few drops of lavender essential oil di� used in the

room makes everything smell good and can do wonders to calm the

nerves and aid in relaxation. For further help getting the best sleep try a

herbal supplement like Pascofl air’s passionfl ower to de-stress and aid in

restlessness. And absolutely remember to not let the bedroom become

a dumping ground for mess — you deserve a great night’s sleep and a

restful retreat after a long busy day. Commit to giving yourself this gift

everyday!

Ringing in a new year doesn’t change who you are, unless you let it. It’s a marker in time, a point from which you can decide to make a change. A fresh year can bring fresh perspective and so many people use January 1st to make

resolutions — leave the old bad habits behind with the old year and step into the new year full of good intentions for a better you. New Year’s resolutions can be anything from bettering your health to changing your attitude. How about bettering your home!Here are fi ve great New Year’s resolutions for your home:

1. Clean

It’s easy to get into a rut with your cleaning. You do the same tasks and take care of the same things in your regular routine. Take a look around and see what really needs attention and then make it your resolution to add that to the cleaning routine.

2. Streamline

It may be old, damaged, or just not fi t your decor, but you can’t get rid of it. It’s now or never. You don’t have enough room in

your home — or your headspace

— for clutter so either fi nd a purpose for it or give it away to someone that can.

When you live this close to the Davisville subway chances are you’ll have time for that extra cup of coffee before heading downtown. That’s just one of the perks

that comes with living at J. Davis House. J. Davis House is a boutique-style condominium on Yonge just north of Davisville.

Great suites, great amenities and a great location just one block from the Davisville subway station.
