ADP FeaturesThe standard design features will include:Roll-in shower While barrier-free washrooms under OBC require a larger turning radius, they do not require any other barrier-free features. Barrier-free washrooms often have bathtubs, and therefore do not meet the needs of mobility device users.
Roll-out balcony with swing door Balconies are typically accessed by a sliding door with a threshold high enough to make rolling out in a wheelchair difficult without a ramp. Moreover, balcony doors are often too narrow to accommodate a mobility device.
Power operated entry door rough-in Power-door operated suite entry doors will greatly improve the functionality of the suite. A rough-in for a PDO will be provided at accessible suite entries.
Handheld shower faucet Flexible, handheld shower faucets greatly improve the functionality of the shower and will be provided in all roll-in showers.
Wider doors throughout Under the OBC, at least one bedroom door and one bathroom door are required to have a clear opening of at least 865mm (34”) in barrier- free suites. Daniels will provide at least 865mm clearance on all bedroom doors and the accessible bathroom door.
Additional clearance in washroom The OBC requires a 1500mm turning radius in bathrooms, but the ADP bathroom will have additional clearances, including 900mm x 1500mm clearance transfer space beside the toilet and shower, and knee clearance underneath the sink.
Accessibility CommitmentThe Daniels Corporation is committed to providing services to its customers, including customers with a disability in accordance with the requirements of the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA).

> WHAT THEY GOT
The community amenities includeathletics grounds, the Pam McConnellAquatic Centre and the Daniels Spec-trum arts and culture venue.
Salimah Ebrahim, co-founder of Ar-tery, says a short meeting with Danielspresident Mitchell Cohen turned into a“four-hour meeting of the minds” andincluded a tour of Regent Park, whereCohen introduced her to communityorganizers, artists and residents.
“By the end of the afternoon, I couldn’twait to get back to Regent Park,” saysEbrahim. “I was really struck by howMitchell and his company understandthat Regent Park had a history and cul-tural life before they arrived.
“The downtown is a perfect fit for ourcommunity and being able to experi-ence art in this intimate way.”
Daniels has done other interconnectiv-ity packages for condo buyers — such aswith the Toronto International FilmFestival at Festival Tower and the Mis-sissauga Living Arts Centre at WesleyTower — but Artery’s is very local andunique, says Dominic Tompa, Danielsvice-president of sales.
“It creates a more personal experienceby bringing people together in an in-timate environment. It can be anythingfrom music to dance to comedy to paint-ing. We thought it was such a cool thingand absolutely perfect for the type ofcommunity we hope to create there.”
Ebrahim says Artery’s motto is everyspace is a stage. “Often condo suites arethe most powerful venues, because youinvite 20 people and are going to meeteveryone in that room. I have a 575-square-foot apartment and have hosted35 people for cello music. It engendersdeep personal connections.”
Daniels also supports local artists withthe Regent Park Rotating Gallery in itssales centre that features a new artist orartist group on a quarterly basis. As wellas animating the sales centre and engag-ing the community, it helps to fulfill thedeveloper’s commitment to local art.The Daniels Local Art Program is anoth-er initiative, where local art is purchasedor commissioned for display in Danielsbuildings — including Artworks Tower.
The arts are just one aspect of accessi-bility coming to Artworks; the tower willalso include Daniels Accessibility De-
signed Program (ADP), to accommo-date those with mobility issues. Danielsconsulted with experts in accessiblebuilding, including the StopGap Foun-dation, Accessibility Advantage andQuadrangle, to design the suites that gowell beyond Ontario Building Code bar-rier-free standards.
“We are the first condo builder to do anaccessibility program,” says Tompa,adding “ours are truly useable suites,with things such as roll-in showers, andslide-outs for wheelchairs to get out onthe balcony. It started with our WesleyTower in Mississauga and at DuEast inRegent Park before Artworks.”
Another Daniels’ program makeshome ownership more accessible forfirst-time buyers. At Artworks Tower,buyers can provide a 10 per deposit thatthey can pay gradually.
“A lot of first-timers find it virtuallyimpossible to get into the market,” saysTompa. “Instead of a 20 per cent depos-it, they only have to give us $5,000 ini-tially and can save toward their downpayment while they wait 3-1⁄2 years forArtworks to be built. We want to be theleaders in making home ownership suc-cessful.” (Buyers must qualify for mort-gage to participate in the program.)

ARTWORKS TOWER
I spoke to a real estate salespersonwho offered to buy my house if hecan’t sell it after a certain length oftime. Can he do this?
The short answer to your question isthat the type of arrangement you men-tioned isn’t specifically prohibitedunder the Real Estate and BusinessBrokers Act, 2002 (REBBA). So youmay wish to consider the offer if youneed to sell your home quickly andobtaining the highest selling price isn’tnecessarily your primary motivation.It’s a valid business practice.
Still, it’s always wise to ask questions,examine the fine print and consult areal estate lawyer.
As the regulator of real estate sales-people, brokers and brokerages in theprovince, the Real Estate Council ofOntario (RECO) has received com-plaints from consumers who enteredinto agreements similar to the one youdescribed. Many of the people whocomplained told us they believe their
salesperson wasn’t sincere when theymade that offer, that they didn’t explainthe limiting conditions properly, or thatthey used it merely as a negotiatingtactic to get them to list their homewith the salesperson’s brokerage. Wedon’t receive many complaints of thistype.
If you’re interested in the salesper-son’s offer, ask about their experienceand strategy for selling your home, aswell as more detailed questions: howmany similar homes has the brokeragepurchased? Will you be paid full marketvalue for your home? What are thelimiting conditions or details of thistype of program?
Make sure you understand all the feeconsiderations and have a clear pictureof what the net dollar (after expenses)purchase will be. You can expect theagreement to be in writing and includea written itemization of the costs in-volved, and that the salesperson walkyou through them, line by line.
When a registered salesperson orbroker gives you an offer to purchaseyour property for their own use, theymust give you written disclosure ofinformation, such as whether they are
buying it for themselves or a relatedperson; any facts that may affect theproperty’s value; and any plans theymay have for it.
Real estate salespeople, brokers andbrokerages know they must treat theirclients with honesty and integrity, andpromote and protect their clients’ bestinterests in a real estate transaction. Ifthey do not, they could face disciplinaryaction if they fall short of those obliga-tions. Accountability is important insuch important transactions; that’s whyI strongly recommend using a regis-tered real estate salesperson or brokerwhen you’re ready to buy or sell a home.
The decision to sign with this bro-kerage is entirely yours. But I encour-age you to do your homework and tounderstand the risks of the agreementyou are considering. Also, interviewseveral candidates before you decide,and remember to look them up on theRECO website.
If you have a question for Joe aboutthe home buying or selling process,please email [email protected] Richer is registrar of the Real Estate Councilof Ontario (RECO) and contributor for the Star.Follow him on Twitter: @RECOhelps

The community amenities includeathletics grounds, the Pam McConnellAquatic Centre and the Daniels Spec-trum arts and culture venue.
Salimah Ebrahim, co-founder of Ar-tery, says a short meeting with Danielspresident Mitchell Cohen turned into a“four-hour meeting of the minds” andincluded a tour of Regent Park, whereCohen introduced her to communityorganizers, artists and residents.
“By the end of the afternoon, I couldn’twait to get back to Regent Park,” saysEbrahim. “I was really struck by howMitchell and his company understandthat Regent Park had a history and cul-tural life before they arrived.
“The downtown is a perfect fit for ourcommunity and being able to experi-ence art in this intimate way.”
Daniels has done other interconnectiv-ity packages for condo buyers — such aswith the Toronto International FilmFestival at Festival Tower and the Mis-sissauga Living Arts Centre at WesleyTower — but Artery’s is very local andunique, says Dominic Tompa, Danielsvice-president of sales.
“It creates a more personal experienceby bringing people together in an in-timate environment. It can be anythingfrom music to dance to comedy to paint-ing. We thought it was such a cool thingand absolutely perfect for the type ofcommunity we hope to create there.”
Ebrahim says Artery’s motto is everyspace is a stage. “Often condo suites arethe most powerful venues, because youinvite 20 people and are going to meeteveryone in that room. I have a 575-square-foot apartment and have hosted35 people for cello music. It engendersdeep personal connections.”
Daniels also supports local artists withthe Regent Park Rotating Gallery in itssales centre that features a new artist orartist group on a quarterly basis. As wellas animating the sales centre and engag-ing the community, it helps to fulfill thedeveloper’s commitment to local art.The Daniels Local Art Program is anoth-er initiative, where local art is purchasedor commissioned for display in Danielsbuildings — including Artworks Tower.
The arts are just one aspect of accessi-bility coming to Artworks; the tower willalso include Daniels Accessibility De-
signed Program (ADP), to accommo-date those with mobility issues. Danielsconsulted with experts in accessiblebuilding, including the StopGap Foun-dation, Accessibility Advantage andQuadrangle, to design the suites that gowell beyond Ontario Building Code bar-rier-free standards.
“We are the first condo builder to do anaccessibility program,” says Tompa,adding “ours are truly useable suites,with things such as roll-in showers, andslide-outs for wheelchairs to get out onthe balcony. It started with our WesleyTower in Mississauga and at DuEast inRegent Park before Artworks.”
Another Daniels’ program makeshome ownership more accessible forfirst-time buyers. At Artworks Tower,buyers can provide a 10 per deposit thatthey can pay gradually.
“A lot of first-timers find it virtuallyimpossible to get into the market,” saysTompa. “Instead of a 20 per cent depos-it, they only have to give us $5,000 ini-tially and can save toward their downpayment while they wait 3-1⁄2 years forArtworks to be built. We want to be theleaders in making home ownership suc-cessful.” (Buyers must qualify for mort-gage to participate in the program.)

ARTWORKS TOWER
I spoke to a real estate salespersonwho offered to buy my house if hecan’t sell it after a certain length oftime. Can he do this?
The short answer to your question isthat the type of arrangement you men-tioned isn’t specifically prohibitedunder the Real Estate and BusinessBrokers Act, 2002 (REBBA). So youmay wish to consider the offer if youneed to sell your home quickly andobtaining the highest selling price isn’tnecessarily your primary motivation.It’s a valid business practice.
Still, it’s always wise to ask questions,examine the fine print and consult areal estate lawyer.
As the regulator of real estate sales-people, brokers and brokerages in theprovince, the Real Estate Council ofOntario (RECO) has received com-plaints from consumers who enteredinto agreements similar to the one youdescribed. Many of the people whocomplained told us they believe their
salesperson wasn’t sincere when theymade that offer, that they didn’t explainthe limiting conditions properly, or thatthey used it merely as a negotiatingtactic to get them to list their homewith the salesperson’s brokerage. Wedon’t receive many complaints of thistype.
If you’re interested in the salesper-son’s offer, ask about their experienceand strategy for selling your home, aswell as more detailed questions: howmany similar homes has the brokeragepurchased? Will you be paid full marketvalue for your home? What are thelimiting conditions or details of thistype of program?
Make sure you understand all the feeconsiderations and have a clear pictureof what the net dollar (after expenses)purchase will be. You can expect theagreement to be in writing and includea written itemization of the costs in-volved, and that the salesperson walkyou through them, line by line.
When a registered salesperson orbroker gives you an offer to purchaseyour property for their own use, theymust give you written disclosure ofinformation, such as whether they are
buying it for themselves or a relatedperson; any facts that may affect theproperty’s value; and any plans theymay have for it.
Real estate salespeople, brokers andbrokerages know they must treat theirclients with honesty and integrity, andpromote and protect their clients’ bestinterests in a real estate transaction. Ifthey do not, they could face disciplinaryaction if they fall short of those obliga-tions. Accountability is important insuch important transactions; that’s whyI strongly recommend using a regis-tered real estate salesperson or brokerwhen you’re ready to buy or sell a home.
The decision to sign with this bro-kerage is entirely yours. But I encour-age you to do your homework and tounderstand the risks of the agreementyou are considering. Also, interviewseveral candidates before you decide,and remember to look them up on theRECO website.
