ending her column in HOMES Magazine so that she could pursue her passions.

I, for one, will miss her clever take on design and decor, but I see her face light up when she talks about stepping into new shoes and seeing where they will lead her. I wish her Godspeed.

Another one of the great givers I have met is the publisher of this magazine, Michael Rosset. His commitment to Raising the Roof, an organization that is dedicated to long-term solutions to homelessness, has resulted in over $250,000 in donations to the organization. Rosset is also the longest serving board member for Raising the Roof (find out more at RaisingTheRoof.org).

Just two of the many people I know who believe that giving back isnt just an obligation, but an important part of their lives.

Audit by

During my many years following the building and development industry, I have encountered an assortment of people who are givers people who give back because of a true altruistic instinct, not just a corporate obligation.

One of those is Enza Tiberi-Checchia, the founder and president of design firm Decorenza, and a regular contributor to this magazine.

In 2009, Tiberi-Checchia along with her friend Benny Caringi co-founded Hats On For Awareness in honour of her father, Giovanni, who she lost over 25 years ago to severe depression. The charity is dedicated to overcoming the stigma associated with mental illness so that those who suffer can openly get the help they need (find out more at HatsOnForAwareness.com).

To date, Hats On For Awareness has raised over $300,000, giving most of that money to the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health and the Humber River Hospitals Mental Health and Addictions Program.

Recently, Enza informed us here at HOMES Publishing Group that she was stepping back from her business and

levels of strong industry confidence in the prospects for residential development, according to Peter Norman, Altus Groups vice president and chief economist.

Altus Groups review of the GTAs commercial and residential real estate markets speaks to a mature market that continues to grow, said Norman. While the overall Canadian economy faces headwinds, the GTA economy is picking up steam and this is clearly reflected by the 2015 data on residential land sales, lowrise and highrise new home sales and, of course, in the level of resulting construction.

Norman further stated that the lowrise sector, in particular, is one to watch for 2016 as new development lands come on stream, sales pick up and single-family housing starts to recover from a long drought.

Lowrise new homes sales continue to rise, up 8 per cent over the previous year. In 2015, 19,637 lowrise sales were recorded, approximately 15 per cent higher than the 10-year average, while the annual sales totals were the third highest over the last decade.

Peter Norman

T he Altus Group, a leading provider of commercial real estate services, software and data solutions, released the results of its 2015 Real Estate Review of the GTAs 2015 new home market in January. The review indicates a resilient housing market that includes new record highs for both low-density and high-density residential land sales, strong price increases (especially for lowrise homes) and strong sales overall, despite an environment of modestly elevated highrise completions.

In 2015, residential land transactions in the GTA grew by 49 per cent, to a record $4.2 billion. Specifically, low- and high-density residential oriented investments achieved record highs of $1.7 billion, each suggesting continued

Town of Halton Hills. LEED Canada certification identifies this home as a

Canadas newest LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Silver home has been built in Halton Hills. Constructed by Menkes Developments, the home is located in The Enclaves of Upper Canada, a community of 184 Energy Star homes currently under construction. Built as part of the Optimum Home program, the houses represent some of the most energy-efficient homes in Ontario.

Menkes celebrated the official ribbon cutting of their LEED Silver Certified home in December, along with Mayor Rick Bonnette of The

pioneering example of sustainable design and demonstrates Menkes leadership in transforming the building industry.

We are very proud to have built Haltons first LEED Silver home, as well as all the homes in The Enclaves of Upper Canada, which are Energy Star homes, said Steven Menkes.

The Optimum Home program, sponsored by Union Gas, involves top builders designing and building high performance homes that exceed the energy efficiency requirements of the building code.n Menkes.com

At the end of 2015, the average lowrise sale fetched $829,766, up 18 per cent from the same period in 2014. By contrast, the average price for a highrise home in the GTA was $453,083, essentially unchanged from a year earlier.

The highrise market saw a slight reduction of 2 per cent in total sales, year over year. Despite this small reduction in total sales, the highrise market still managed to sell 21,658 units in 2015, the fourth highest number of annual sales in the last decade.

These results were previously released under the RealNet Canada name. Going forward they will be released by Altus Group, powered by a proprietary data platform led by Altus Data Solutions Canada.n AltusGroup.com

Two industry titans are the newest inductees into the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) Hall of Fame, and two other BILD members were recognized for their countless number of volunteer hours and immense contribution to the association during the annual Chairs Dinner in January.

Inducted into the Hall of Fame this year is Julie Di Lorenzo, president of Diamante Urban Corp, a leading builder and prominent voice for the real estate development industry. She led the associations board of directors as president in 2005 at a time when provincial growth planning policies were emerging and she became the voice of intensification, encouraging

members to think differently about how they do business.

She is a visionary and a pioneer. Most of all, during a time when members of the home building and land development industry were uncertain about growth plan objectives, she provided leadership, engaged members in the discussion and brought government partners to the table, said BILD chair Steve Deveaux.

The second inductee was Al Longo, one of the associations longest-standing members. He began his building career at the age of 18 as a labourer in his fathers construction business and by 20 he had started his own business making concrete blocks. By 23, Longo was building apartment buildings in Etobicoke and formed his first

construction company with his brother. He joined BILD in 1954, served on the board of directors in the 1960s and was elected president in 1971.

Margaret Ward of Enbridge Gas Distribution was named Member of the Year for being at the forefront of the associations growth to 1,480 members by the end of 2015 as chair of the membership committee.

Brendan Charters of Eurodale Developments was presented with the Chairs Award of Merit. As a member of the BILD board and executive committee from 2010 to 2015, Charters represented the renovation sector but he also lent his voice as a leader of the Young BILDers committee.n BILDGTA.ca

EMPIRE COMMUNITIES

MAKES NEW APPOINTMENT

Empire Communities, one of Canadas largest homebuilders, is pleased to announce that Tony Pucci has been appointed as president, lowrise.

Pucci joined Empire Communities in 1999 as a construction manager and has a proven track record with the organization, having held positions of increasing responsibility including division VP, purchasing, VP lowrise construction and most recently, executive VP lowrise.

Tonys experience in multiple facets of the construction industry and his long tenure with our organization make him an ideal candidate to lead our lowrise division, said Dan Guizzetti, co-founder, CEO and president of Empire Communities.

All with the convenience of being close to local amenities and just over 20 minutes from Highways 404 and 407. All that with prices starting in the mid $300,000s.

At Sunderland were already seeing incredibly strong demand even stronger than we expected and I think a big reason why is that people can purchase a beautiful new detached home at prices unheard of in larger centres, says Bill Daniell, president of Kaitlin.n MySunderland.ca

Caesarstone, the leading manufacturer of premium quartz surfaces, is proud to present ICE, an ice-inspired kitchen installation designed by Tom Dixon. The first installment of Caesarstones year-long collaboration with Dixon for 2016 was unveiled at the Interior Design Show (IDS) in Toronto in January, where Caesarstone has previously presented work by Nendo, Raw-Edges and Philippe Malouin.

ICE was inspired by Canadas impressive frozen lakes and the formidable icebreakers that clear the way for freighters during the winter.

The ICE kitchen is the first of four kitchens inspired by the elements of Ice, Fire, Earth and Air. The four kitchens will create theatres of food and cooking that demonstrate the hardwearing qualities, durability and beauty of Caesarstone.n Caesarstone.ca n TomDixon.net

Whatever your reason for choosing Fieldgate, were confident that you will find a home that youll love when you visit one of our many fine family communities.

editors choice

E xciting news for buyers who cant wait to move is that Rosehaven Homes has a number of their amazing Freehold Towns now well under construction so families can move in as early as this year.

If youve never seen a Rosehaven townhome, youre in for a big treat. Not only do their extra-spacious floorplans feel like singles, Rosehaven puts the same standard features inside that are included in their detached homes.

Some of the outstanding features included in every Rosehaven freehold townhome are nine-foot main floor ceilings, eight-foot tall front entry doors, oak staircases, kitchen cabinetry featuring extended uppers, master bedroom retreats with walk-in closets and spa-inspired ensuites, to list just a few.

LOTUS POINTE Those looking to move up to Caledon will be excited to hear they wont have to wait long. Rosehavens two- and three-storey townhomes are now under construction with move-in dates that are scheduled for late fall of this year. Families looking for elegant design with amazing entertaining spaces will be interested in the Viceroy.

This three-storey 2,449-square-foot townhome features a huge great room with fireplace and an impressive separate dining room with a walk-through servery from the gourmet kitchen. The secluded master bedroom retreat features a walk-in closet and spa-inspired ensuite bathroom with glass shower and his and hers sinks. This thoughtfully designed home offers a mudroom with backyard access from the two-car tandem garage, starting from the $530,000s.

THE NEIGHBOURHOODS OF MOUNT PLEASANTIn Bramptons favourite Mount Pleasant community, Rosehaven Homes has a number of freehold towns under construction now with moves-in dates scheduled for late summer this year. An example of an early closing opportunity at this fabulous family neighbourhood is The Riverstone, a lovely 1,700-square-foot freehold townhome with a main floor laundry room, gas fireplace in the great room and your own master ensuite bathroom, starting from the $480,000s.

WOODLAND TRAILSRosehaven has brought back one of Oakvilles most desirable communities and with construction starting soon, families can move in early 2017. The freehold townhomes being offered are popular and selling fast, priced from the $640,000s. Buyers have a choice of 20-foot terrace townhomes as well as 25-foot two-storey towns with closings early next year.

If you love to kick back and relax with the family, and still have elegant space for entertaining, youll love the Linbrook. This 2,071-square-foot two-storey home has a separate formal dining room and a family-friendly kitchen/breakfast area that overlooks a large island to the large 12-foot by 17-foot great room, warmed by a gas fireplace and flanked by sunny windows. On the second floor there is a media room, laundry room and two bedrooms plus the master bedroom, elegantly set off by a raised nine-foot coffered ceiling and offers a walk-in closet and a spa-inspired ensuite.

what youre spending. Chances are youll be very surprised. Limit yourself to going out once or twice a month, and start cooking at home.

If in a relationship and each of you has a car, get rid of one. You may have to relocate to help facilitate this commitment, but if one of you pledges to car pool, cycle to work, or take transit, you can expect to save up to 80 per cent of the cost of owning a car. On average, monthly car payments, gas and maintenance cost about $9,000 per year. Bank this money.

Raises, bonuses, monetary gifts and overtime pay should all be put into a separate savings account. It may not seem like much at the time, but it will add up. The same rule applies to tax refunds, sales commissions, etc. If its not part of your regular income, then it goes into savings.

Once you hone in on a budget, and take a close look at your spending habits, youll find all sorts of cheaper alternatives. While many of these suggestions may seem obvious, making

a concerted effort to switch up your lifestyle in order to obtain your goal can be fun and rewarding. Rather than buying books, borrow them from the library theyre free. Instead of going to the movies and spending an exorbitant amount on popcorn, watch shows online and cancel your cable subscription, as well. Lower you clothing budget. Look for sales, purchase gently used clothing, or decide to make do with what you have for a period of time. If youre used to going on expensive vacations, take a staycation to recharge your batteries.

If you have RRSPs, you are allowed to withdraw up to $25,000 towards the purchase of your first home. If you dont have RRSPs, then the same principles could go towards saving for RRSPs so that you qualify for a tax credit while helping to reduce your taxes. However, the Home Buyers Plan does have a catch, in that you have to pay back the withdrawal from your RRSPs within 15 years, or the amount of the withdrawal is taxed as if its income. Check with a financial advisor to see it this is a good option for you.

Set up a tax-free savings account to save for your down payment. There, the money can grow without you having to pay tax on the interest that you earn.

Unless youre one of the fortunate few who have been bequeathed property or have family support in this undertaking, a tenacious attitude, along with a healthy financial strategy, will help to make your dream come true.

The idea of saving for your first home may seem daunting, but once you set your mind to it, anything is possible. The first step is to come up with a budget and set out your priorities. This is necessary in order to provide you with a reality check as to where your money is going.

Next, pay off your credit card debts. Paying unwanted interest to other companies is like sabotaging your efforts before you even get started. Too much consumer debt will also be a factor when you apply for a mortgage. Start with the smallest, high-interest debt and pay it off. Then take the minimum payment from that debt and use it to help pay off the next debt. Then you have double minimum payments to go towards the next debt, and so on. This snowball effect of minimum payments affords you the opportunity to make larger payments against one debt at a time, and is one of the fastest ways to pay off debt.

The neighbourhood amenities are well established and include an abundance of convenient shopping and dining nearby, many destinations within easy strolling distance. The community itself will feature scenic ponds and a creek, plus proximity to the charming Preserve Promenade.

The striking lines of the boutique condominium building promises modernity and doesnt disappoint. The up-to-date appointments include an elegant, welcoming lobby that makes returning home and greeting guests an event. Residents are invited to make full use of the common lounge that connects to a sublime rooftop terrace that, in addition to its spectacular view, encourages all to cook out on the barbecues and mingle socially, if they desire. Naturally, a fully-appointed fitness facility makes staying healthy and fit simple and convenient.

Each condo suite thoughtfully includes many luxurious features as standard.

A peek in through the generous floor-to-ceiling windows might reveal the superior hardwood flooring, nine-foot ceilings throughout combined with soaring 14-foot ceilings on the penthouse floor. Granite countertops are found in every kitchen and ensuite Baths are paired with double sinks. And stainless steel appliances are complemented by a stacked washer/dryer unit.

The Townhomes of Creekshore Common feature two-storey towns, plus channel- and rear-lane towns that include an offering of hardwood and laminate flooring, granite kitchen countertops, stainless steel appliances plus a white stacked washer/dryer unit.

brought together market research, approval requirements, design, leas-ing and, ultimately, the financial feasibility of a development. This analy-sis, coupled with my sum-mer work experiences in Vaughan, when it grew from a town to a city, allowed me to witness the enormous infrastructure, business and housing growth throughout the late 1980s and early 90s. It moved me to join the development field.

HM: What have been the strongest influences in your pro-fessional life? Do you have someone you would consider a mentor?

MM: I have had the opportunity to work for and with many of our industrys finest throughout my 25 years at Sorbara. Working through challenges with a positive attitude to achieve the best result for everyone is what I strive for. In terms of a mentor in this regard, my mom amazes me with her perse-verance. She inspires me daily.

HM: There have been a lot of changes in the industry over the years. With the provinces Places to Grow policy and the Greenbelt restrictions, where do you see the real estate and housing market going?

MM: The impact of the Places to Grow policy and Greenbelt restrictions is evident as housing forms are growing up instead of out. These policies marked the shift from lowrise to highrise homes over the last decade.

For example, in 2015, highrise development comprised 80 per cent of the new GTA housing stock, a direct result of these policies. This shift, along with continued increasing pressure in land prices and housing affordability will continue to evolve into medium-density housing forms, particularly midrise and stacked townhomes designed for families.

Sorbara is currently working through the design and approval process for 500 stacked townhomes in Mississauga to bring to the market later this year. This form of housing is where I see the market going. The spaces are well designed, affordable, offer privacy and outdoor space and help to meet

MOIRA MORRIS-EMSLIEWorking for the Sorbara Group of Companies has

kept this mother of three busy and inspired

By Gale Beeby

Moira Morris of the Sorbara Group of Companies has a big job title director of strategy, design and implementation and the demanding life to go with it. Just connecting with her to do this interview took some time. But, she assured me, she has finally hired a sales manager to help her with the ever-increasing workload as Sorbara expands its portfolio.

The Sorbara Group is a huge multi-tiered real estate devel-opment, investment and management company that began in 1942 when Sam Sorbara started a business known today as the Adriatic Insurance Brokers Ltd.

Sorbara now, however, owns, manages and operates com-mercial/industrial, office and retail properties, a large residen-tial apartment portfolio, as well as offering insurance services and construction management and planning and development services. This is in addition to the many lowrise and highrise communities it develops and builds to exacting standards.

I can see why Morris-Emslie is busy.

HOMES Magazine: Can you tell me something about your-self? Where did you grow up, what is your background and career trajectory?

Moira Morris-Emslie: I am a very proud mother of three, married to my best friend and I love my work. I grew up in London, Ontario, attended high school in Thornhill, and returned to the University of Western Ontario to complete a BA in Urban Development. I have lived and raised my family in Richmond Hill for the last 23 years.

I started working as a planner with Landtactix (the plan-ning and development division of The Sorbara Group of Companies) in 1990, the day after I wrote my final exam. I have been fortunate to have had the opportunity to grow with the Sorbara Group over the past 25 years as the planning and development division has grown from acquisitions, approvals and site servicing, to include the marketing, sales and con-struction of loft conversions and lowrise, midrise and highrise developments.

The Sorbara Group of Companies will see increased growth over the next 10 years in all aspects of the real estate business (including industrial, commercial, residential rental, highrise, midrise and lowrise). This keeps me inspired, and busy.

HM: What inspired you to join the building and development field?

MM: A third year feasibility analysis project on the then BCE place (now Brookfield Place) excited me as the proforma

of our construction team to the delivery of quality homes cre-ates exceptionable neighbourhoods.

My greatest satisfaction comes from positive feedback of our homeowners. We set the hard landscape in which people live. Success in our business is measured by the homeown-ers positive experience with the homes and communities we design and build.

HM: What has made you proudest?

MM: Thats easy! Jacob, Hannah and Kyle, my three children.

HM: What do you do for fun?

MM: Hanging at the cottage with family and friends. And being part of a forward thinking, progressive development, construction and marketing team keeps work fun.

the density requirements of municipalities across the GTA.

HM: What are the biggest challenges that builders and developers encounter today?

MM: We need to build homes in complete communities that people can afford. With the estimated GTA growth of 100,000 people annually, the 35,000 new homes required to accommo-date the growth will need to be thoughtfully designed and be both livable and affordable.

One of the biggest challenges developers encounter is the lack of infrastructure services. New interconnected commu-nity infrastructure with a fair and reasonable funding strategy to move people, services and goods is essential for the contin-ued success of the housing market. Overcoming this challenge will require a coordinated approach with the development industry and government policy makers.

HM: Sorbara has a great reputation for not only building qual-ity homes, but for being community builders. How does that align with Sorbaras business and philanthropic philosophy?

MM: When our founder, Sam Sorbara, started the company, his message was that fortune and wealth are gifts that life offers us so we can share them with others. Because of that, the Sam Sorbara Foundation was created. We believe strongly that charitable giving is an important part of our operations.

HM: You build communities and are very involved in those communities. Why do you go above and beyond and what sense of satisfaction do you get from it?

MM: We dont just build houses, we construct neighbourhoods and homes in which people live, work and play. Smart acqui-sitions, carefully considered market positioning, community planning, thoughtful architectural design and the commitment

Imagine living in a serene environment with miles of shoreline to explore; spacious waterfront trails to walk, run or bike; gorgeous community parks and open spaces to play in and then returning to an elegant home with breathtaking views of it all. In short, loving the outside of your home as much as the inside without giving up the conveniences and amenities of city life.

Welcome to Lakebreeze, a unique and spectacular master-planned waterfront community with a complete range of housing including detached homes, linked singles, townhomes and condos.

Every home from entry-level units to custom waterfront designs is designed and crafted with a beach contemporary architectural flair and features crisp, purposeful lines, expansive windows and glass doors that naturally draw light in, airy, earthy tones to complement the landscape, and open functional spaces for entertaining and everyday living. And with prices starting in the low $200,000s, its easy to turn your dream lifestyle into a reality.

This is the last master-planned waterfront community to be developed in the GTA and with two miles of frontage on Lake Ontario and over 1,200 units there simply is nothing else

like it, says Bill Daniell, president of Kaitlin Corporation.

Lakebreeze is located just 35 minutes east of the GTA with two exits off Highway 401. In addition to the communitys fabulous onsite amenities, residents have access to the Admirals Walk Clubhouse at Port of Newcastle, which is a 15 minute bike ride on a trail that connects the two communities, or under 10 minutes by car. The 15,000-plus-square-foot clubhouse is a recreational haven that features an oversized state-of-the-art indoor pool that opens onto a landscaped sundeck, hot tub, steam room, fitness room, spa, billiards room, library/boardroom, conference space, theatre room, lounge, restaurant, tennis court and childrens playground. The social hub of the community, it hosts a variety of weekly activities as well as special holiday events and celebrations throughout the year.

Bowmanville, the largest community in the Municipality of Clarington in the Durham Region, is home to approximately 44,000 residents and combines small-town charm with urban amenities. It has a thriving downtown, numerous independent businesses and franchise stores, restaurants and services. There is a strong sense of community and annual events such as

the Maple Syrup Festival, Summerfest and the BluesBERRY Festival are popular with both residents and visitors. Nearby recreational opportunities include golf courses, marinas, soccer, skiing and horseback riding.

Weve been involved in this project for 12 years and a great deal of thought and planning has gone into it, concludes Daniell. Its a completely master-planned community from the architecturally coordinated exteriors of the homes to the streetscape elements including signage, light standards, landscaping and street furniture, ensuring that a cohesive aesthetic flows throughout the site. Were really excited about it and Im confident that our buyers will be too.

Homes are designed with a contemporary architectural flair.

Lake houses offer expansive terraces overlooking Lake Ontario.

Lakebreeze will be built west of Kaitlins existing Port of Newcastle community.
