JANUARY 16 - 30, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 3 2 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Don’t let debt come knockingThe amount of household debt

Canadians have accumulated seems

to be making daily news lately.

Reports that the average Canadian

household now owes $1.64 for

every dollar of income means it may

be time to reevaluate our budget

strategies.

If your real estate strategy does not

take into consideration the fact that

interest rates will eventually begin to

rise and your debt load may increase

a lot faster than your income, you

could be in for a bumpy ride.

A good fi nancial advisor can help

you fi gure out a solid budget strategy,

including how much you spend on

housing. While money may become

even cheaper to borrow in Canada, it

should not encourage you to invest or

rent a home that you simply cannot

a� ord, should conditions change. The

fundamental old-school practice is:

save as much as you can, avoid debt

unless absolutely necessary, and pay

debt o� as fast as you can.

Old news yes, but excellent advice.

Recently, I was speaking to a

friend who told me she wants to sell

her suburban home and move to a

downtown condo. A through-and-

through suburbanite, she’d never lived

in the city, never wanted to. She was

never going to give up the big lot, the

big yard and the quiet cul-de-sac.

Never say never.

A home isn’t just square footage,

number of bedrooms and the

distance to the highway. Modern

condos are homes with lifestyle built

in. And while you’ve seen more and

more cranes in the sky, year after

year, the developments keep getting

savvier about the lifestyle residents

want. You get more and you get it

in a great package. And these great

o� erings are enticing people that had

never considered the option before.

It’s time to take a closer look.

This issue, enjoy great advice

and market insights, plus more on

Learning from the best in the world

Advice | BILD REPORT

TO HELP THE BUILDING and

development industry in the GTA

grow and evolve, we search the globe

for new and innovative ideas that can

be adapted and implemented here.

BILD works with experts and

home builders’ associations

around the world to educate our

members on best practices for

planning, developing and building

new communities. Many ideas are

imported and incorporated into

the creation of new communities

across the GTA and others provide

inspiration for future projects.

By studying Danish architecture

in Copenhagen, our members

learned about building woodframe

midrise buildings. This ensured

they were ready when the province

amended the Building Code to allow

for woodframe buildings up to six

storeys. Woodframe construction is

prevalent in Copenhagen. The city

is dominated by four- and six-storey

buildings, most of them made of

wood, rather than the glass towers we

typically see in North American cities.

While the housing market in

Berlin is largely rental based and

signifi cantly di� erent from the GTA,

the city o� ered lots of interesting

ideas about architecture. Berlin

has a lot of infi ll development, and

buildings and their amenities are

creatively designed to integrate into

their surroundings. Rather than being

hidden away, many parking areas and

garage doors are beautifully designed

to blend into the streetscape.

Since we want to continue to

build Greener homes in the GTA,

our industry looked to Milan for

innovative ideas. Italy introduced

mandatory building energy labeling

10 years ago, which led to the

adoption of some really interesting

water and energy conservation

mechanisms.

Developers in Milan combine

style and function by incorporating

European design into their green

features. This includes using

rainwater collected from the

buildings as public fountains, or

planting hundreds of trees in planter

boxes on condo balconies for

benefi ts like shade and improved

air quality.

American markets like Miami

showcase great examples of

marketing luxury condominiums with

extravagant amenities. New-home

buyers in the city are treated to over-

the-top sales o� ces, larger suites

and super-sized models. Purchasers

are responsible for the interior design

of their suites, allowing them to

customize every aspect of their home

to their liking.

In addition to learning other

markets, the GTA also welcomes

numerous groups from cities

around the world. Over the years

we have welcomed industry

professionals from places such as

Austria, Denmark, China and Russia

to showcase our communities and

building practices.

Advice | STYLE FILE

AFTER RINGING in a new year I always find it

a great time to update your décor and add

in some new trends, colours, textures and

accessories to update your look for the coming

year. Here are my top six trends for 2016.

1. Mixed metals – Platinum, gold, copper,

steel… as long as they’ve got a metallic sheen,

they go together. It’s bling like you’ve never

seen before in 2016. One simple and stand

out way to make a statement in your kitchen

or bathroom is by changing your faucet. I love

the diversity that Delta provides; their Vero

collection will make a huge impact in your

décor this year. Artemano also has great choices when it

comes to mixed metals that will truly make a statement

in your home; add some of their one-of-a-kind pieces to

really make an impact.

2. Pastel colours – Adding hints of pastel will infuse

a room with energy! Whether it’s from your accessories

or the walls themselves, there are so many ways to bring

a new colour into your home. If you are nervous about

pastels, incorporate the trend methodically with some

accent pieces to get you started. Decorium has some

great pastels in their line up — try an area rug or pillow to

see if you like the colour and you can add more as you

desire. I also love trying out a new colour in my artwork.

and how to bring them home

The trends of 2016

012_014 jo alcorn - MIX 2016 trends_MC-JM-SB.indd 2 2016-01-12 1:01 PMTCG 01-16-16 master.indd 12 2016-01-12 4:06 PM


13 TCG.indd 13 2016-01-12 7:42 PM



Jo Alcorn is a design specialist and designer on HGTV’s Home to Win, out this spring. She has her own furniture collection, signature pillow and dog

bed line and is known for her savvy design concepts. Visit Jo at www.whitewashco.ca.

I love using Poster Jack which is an online service where you pick the art

you want to use (or you can use your own photos or choose from their

photography), pick the frames and colour, and they ship it all to your

door. Changing your art to match the trends can be a very cost eff ective

approach, while changing up your look completely.

3. White delight – Clean, crisp, fresh white walls, white accessories,

white furniture, you name it! White is going to make a name for itself this

year! You can’t go wrong with Benjamin Moore’s Simply White to freshen

up your space or dated pieces of furniture. Another great way to add

white to your home is to use a white bathroom vanity. Cutler Kitchen and

Bath (a great Canadian company) is introducing a high gloss white fl oating

vanity in 2016 available through big box stores as part of their boutique

collection. Gloss white is easy to keep clean too!

4. Shop locally – Local and Canadian made products will be buzz

words for 2016 and shoppers will love to brag about supporting the trend

too. My Jo Alcorn Collection of pillows and sofas are all designed and

made in Canada. Low carbon footprint is an important trend to support.

Available at shop.ca.

5. Greens – They’re not just found in the kitchen this year! In 2016,

greens will be scattered throughout the house; available in large, medium

and small options, you can choose whatever fi ts your home décor! If you

are like me and can’t keep a plant alive to save your life, try some faux

options; Bouclair has so many to choose from, and they add a nice hint of

green to your décor.

6. Go vertical – A great way to make a statement with your walls in

2016 is with wall decals. They are easy to install and make a huge impact.

A great online resource for ideas is uwdecals.com, they have patterns to

suit all styles and are super easy to install.

Wishing everyone a stylish and prosperous 2016!

We can’t all have a green thumb, and we don’t all have the outdoor space needed for a garden, but these condo-friendly plants will satisfy your urge to plant.

1. The money tree

This plant comes in all shapes and sizes; they do not require too much direct sunlight and live well indoors. They only need water about once a week and if you’re lucky, they will bring you good fortune!

2. Moth orchids

Although they can be hard to bring back to life, orchids are beautiful fl owers that usually last about fi ve or six months with minimal care. They only need a bit of water about once a week, so be careful not to overwater.

3. The snake plant

This plant is also known as “mother-in-law’s tongue” and requires minimal light, a little water and will help purify the air in your

condo.

By Andrew la Fleur

WHEN IT COMES TO investing in

condos, not all projects are created

equal. Some are more profi table

than others, some provide investors

excellent return on investment, while

others do not. So, how do you know

what to look for when choosing a

condominium to invest in?

While there are hundreds of factors

to consider when picking the right

project, here are four tried and true

ingredients for a successful condo

project to invest your money:

1. Multi-phase projects

Projects that are not just one-o�

buildings, but rather contain multiple

buildings rolled out over time as

part of a bigger master plan, are

great for investment. If the project is

successful at the start, prices always

go up for subsequent phases. Getting

in early in a multi-phase project is a

proven method of making money in

condo investing. Some well-known

examples of multi-phase projects

and communities include Cityplace,

Liberty Village, the Distillery District,

and more recently, the revitalization

of Regent Park.

2. Location with upside potential

While it’s hard to go wrong when

you invest in an established triple-A

location like Bloor-Yorkville, anywhere

King and Bathurst. Now this area is

one of the hippest and hottest in the

city. Today for example, the east side

of downtown is much cheaper on

average than the west side, which

provides an excellent opportunity

to invest.

3. Areas with high rental demand

When evaluating potential condo

buildings to invest in, be sure to

study the rental market in the

immediate vicinity to see how much

demand there is to live in the area.

Look especially for two things: are

rents increasing, and how many

days on the market does the typical

rental listing last? Areas with rapidly

increasing rental rates and low time

on the market are more likely to

outperform other areas. One area that

has a strong rental market right now

is Yonge and Eglinton.

4. Developer history

On this point, I’m not referring to

whether the developer has a solid

history of building good product

and fi nishing on time (while that

is important). I’m referring to their

history with their investor buyers. The

best condo projects for investment

are often those where the developer

understands and puts a high value

on the role of the investor buyer in

the sales process. They reward their

early investors with great prices,

and this translates into strong asset

appreciation by the time the building

is complete.

AS THE CREDIT SYSTEM continues

to evolve in Canada, consumers are

getting increasingly confused with

a greater variety of credit products

from a greater variety of fi nancial

institutions. In fact, the average

Canadian gets more correspondence

from fi nancial institutions than they

do from family and friends combined

(what have we come to?). To further

complicate matters, institutions are

granting credit to consumers at a

pace never seen before.

The combination of increasingly

sophisticated marketing techniques

to consumers coupled with more and

more available credit truly becomes

too much temptation for many

people to bear. Consumer debt is a

major issue in North America. The

concept of keeping up with the Jones

has destroyed both people’s fi nancial

health and their personal lives. What

I am here to tell you is that you don’t

need to fall into this trap!

Here are some simple guidelines

that will prevent you from becoming

yet another consumer credit victim:

1. Control spending by knowing exactly where every dollar goes.

Tracking your spending habits in detail

periodically will enlighten you in ways

that you never considered. While

doing this on a monthly basis is not

realistic, try to do this in detail for at

least one month a year.

Helpful tip: If you and your spouse

spend $3 per day on co� ee, this

totals $1,095 per year. Depending on

your tax bracket, this amount could

Credit & debt management

represent over $2,000 in pre-tax

income. Is the free co� ee at your

o� ce that bad?

2. Watch your liquidity closely.

Liquidity refers to your or your family’s

ability to pay its short-term debt

obligations. Watching what available

funds you have to pay upcoming debt

obligations is fundamental to avoiding

credit problems.

Helpful tip: Think carefully before

using purchase programs that require

no payments for a set period. If you

can’t a� ord to pay for it now, should

you buy it?

3. Develop a realistic budget and live by it always.

A good budget must have specifi c

fi nancial goals with a clearly defi ned

time horizon. Be sure to take into

account all of your payments,

including loans, utilities and dry

cleaning. If you pay for it monthly,

it should be allocated in your

budget. You can’t be too detailed.

Most fi nancially successful people

are excellent fi nancial planners.

They have investment plans, loan

repayment plans and a clear idea

of how much time they need

before they can purchase big-ticket

consumer items.

Helpful tip: Also be sure to budget

for some kind of treat on a periodic

basis. All work and no play often

results in failure.

While these rules seem fairly

simple, they are a little like a diet

— easy to start but tough to follow

through. Despite popular opinion,

material items will not bring you

happiness.

While it may not seem like it today,

forgoing that purchase to save for

your child’s education (or your

retirement) may make you feel a lot

better in the long run (despite what the

commercials may lead you to believe).

Until next time — happy home and

mortgage hunting.

WHEN IT COMES TO investing in

condos, not all projects are created

equal. Some are more profi table

than others, some provide investors

excellent return on investment, while

others do not. So, how do you know

what to look for when choosing a

condominium to invest in?

While there are hundreds of factors

to consider when picking the right

project, here are four tried and true

ingredients for a successful condo

project to invest your money:

1. Multi-phase projects

Projects that are not just one-o�

buildings, but rather contain multiple

buildings rolled out over time as

part of a bigger master plan, are

great for investment. If the project is

successful at the start, prices always

go up for subsequent phases. Getting

in early in a multi-phase project is a

proven method of making money in

condo investing. Some well-known

examples of multi-phase projects

and communities include Cityplace,

Liberty Village, the Distillery District,

and more recently, the revitalization

of Regent Park.

2. Location with upside potential

While it’s hard to go wrong when

you invest in an established triple-A

location like Bloor-Yorkville, anywhere

near Yonge Street or King West, often

it takes a little more foresight to see

the greatest opportunities are in

areas that are still in transition. Ten

years ago, no one wanted to live at

Spotting a great condo investment


King and Bathurst. Now this area is

one of the hippest and hottest in the

city. Today for example, the east side

of downtown is much cheaper on

average than the west side, which

provides an excellent opportunity

to invest.

buildings to invest in, be sure to

study the rental market in the

immediate vicinity to see how much

demand there is to live in the area.

days on the market does the typical

rental listing last? Areas with rapidly

increasing rental rates and low time

on the market are more likely to

outperform other areas. One area that

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.

Getting your house in order

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.

WHEN THE TEMPERATURES turn

chilly we all tend to hibernate in our

homes. Knowing that I’ll be spending

more time indoors over the next few

months, I like to plan ahead and prep

my home for the coming long winter.

To make your space more liveable,

here are some simple de-cluttering

and organization tips.

Make space for winter

It’s time to put away all of your

summer items like jackets, shoes,

hats, golf clubs and tennis rackets. I

like to clean everything fi rst and use a

storage space where moisture won’t

get at them. Then I have room to

stock up on bulkier winter items, such

as coats, hats and boots.

Use your storage locker as much as

possible and look for simple cabinets

that help make the rotation

of summer to winter items easy.

Make an entrance

Prepare the entrance in your home

for snow and ice. I always place a

rough mat made of wood or rubber at

the door so everyone can wipe mud,

snow and salt from their boots. I also

put an absorbent mat inside the door

to soak up any excess moisture.

If you don’t have a storage space at

the door create one with a cupboard

or bench so you can easily fi nd items.

If you have this space then make

room for gloves and hats by cleaning

it out. Install wall hooks if you don’t

have them or place a coat stand near

the door. I use boot racks, but make

sure it’s on a mat to catch dampness

Get your home ready for winter

and use baskets to organize mittens

and scarves.

Service your home

Make sure that your humidifi er is

working well. Not only do the cold, dry

temperatures make your skin su er

and crack, but the same can happen to

your wood fl oors and furniture.

I always check my windows for

drafts and make sure they’re well

insulated; weather stripping is a great

way to catch any cracks.

A great way to save money on

heating is with a programmable

thermostat to control the

temperature when you’re sleeping

or not at home. Finally, check the

batteries in your smoke alarm and

CO2 detector. I suggest having a

stock of batteries at the ready so you

can change them out immediately.

Now your home’s ready for winter

and all you need to focus on is curling

up with a warm throw and a good

book!

Advice | CONDO PRO

IT’S A WONDERFUL THING when

coming home feels like a luxury, every

day. That’s the case with many

condominiums today, which o� er

amenities and services similar to

a resort. This lifestyle choice is

becoming increasingly popular with

people who value their leisure time.

The freedom from worrying about

building maintenance, repairs and

upkeep is fabulous, and is only the

beginning of the resort mood that a

modern condominium o� ers.

For me and so many others, the

ambience starts in the lobby, which

really does set the tone for the

building. Developers put a lot of

thought into lobby design to provide

a setting that is like a beautiful

hotel, with gorgeous décor and the

convenience of being able to access

concierge service. In addition to the

built-in security this service provides,

the concierge presents a professional

fi rst impression to guests, announces

visitors and o� ers practical services

such as receiving packages and

deliveries for residents who are away.

Some condominium concierges will

even go as far as booking theatre

tickets, scheduling dog-walking

and the like. Some condominium

residences sit atop fi ve-star hotels,

which is, of course, the ultimate

in luxury.

And speaking of luxury, modern

condominiums have fabulous

amenities like rooftop gardens and

garden terraces where residents

can barbecue and relax amid lush

New heights of luxury in your new condo


greenery. These areas provide striking

views, and when the condo is also

near the lake, it’s all the more like

spending time at a resort! Water-

lovers also appreciate the fact that

the swimming pools and whirlpools

in today’s condominiums are situated

where they can get a lot of natural

light for a truly inspiring experience all

year long. And when you can count

on someone else to keep the water

clean and the pools maintained, it’s

the best of both worlds.

Recreational amenities and

anything that benefi ts health-

conscious residents are in demand,

and you will fi nd that the fi tness

facilities in condominiums are always

in use. Convenient and bright, these

areas are pleasant to work out in, and

having them in the building saves on

commercial club fees. Some condos

have spas close to pools, change

rooms and saunas so residents can

indulge in a total spa experience.

A few even have a dedicated room

specifi cally for massage therapy,

where a therapist can come in and

set up a portable table — yet another

luxury condo owners can enjoy

without leaving home.

Cinema-style screening rooms set

the scene for getting together with

friends to watch a movie or sporting

event without the hassle of driving

somewhere, parking and trying to see

over the people in the seats in front

of you. For gala entertaining, the party

room is a great option that eliminates

the need for you to clean up a big

mess the next morning. The amenities

in condominiums really do expand

your lifestyle potential far beyond

the square footage of the suite. And

if you are fortunate enough to live

on top of a fi ve-star hotel, you have

the ultimate in luxury living at your

fi ngertips, with access to things like

housekeeping services, valet parking

and room service.

Fun, relaxing, invigorating,

tranquil, beautiful, bright — today’s

condominium amenities are more

exciting and varied than ever before.

In so many ways, living in a condo is

like having a mini-resort or getaway

under your own roof. And when you

do choose to go away on vacation,

that holiday feeling begins the

moment you lock the door and leave,

knowing your home will be protected

and looked after.

PORT CREDIT’S WARM, welcoming

atmosphere makes it the residential

hotspot in the 905. Homes near the

lake are generally hot commodities

in the GTA, and Port Credit is

no di� erent. It boasts a laid-

back atmosphere, quirky one-o�

boutiques and high home values.

Lifestyle

Port Credit has long been a hot spot

on the Lake Ontario shoreline, from

its humble beginnings as a French

trading post 300 years ago to the

present day. The area still serves

as a premier shopping destination,

with a collection of quaint stores

and services. The small-town charm

is bolstered by the presence of ice

cream parlours, dress shops and

bakeries, and rounded out by pubs,

restaurants and music stores.

Neighbourhood Profi le

Residential hot spot in the 905

Port Credit

Vibe

The area’s marine roots date back 300

years, but even today Lake Ontario

and the Credit River remain a means

of transportation and recreation for

those looking to relax on the water,

steps from the trendy and teeming

Lakeshore Road strip.

Meet the neighbours

Port Credit Village is home to

about 11,500 people. A nautical

atmosphere, coupled with urban

amenities, makes it an equal draw

for twenty-something singles, young

professionals and growing families.

In the area

This neighbourhood is a charmer.

But you’ll have to dig deep, with

detached house prices averaging

north of $700,000 and property

values among the highest in

Mississauga. You can still call this

hood home for the high-$300s, if

condo living is to your liking.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Lakeshore and QEW are the main east-

west thoroughfares if you’re driving, or

take public transit via Port Credit GO

or Mississauga Transit, with eight bus

routes cutting through the Hurontario/

Lakeshore hub and connecting to the

TTC at Longbranch GO.

Real estate

Few spots in the GTA o� er this laid-

back, waterfront setting within easy

access of urban amenities. But with

the infl ux of locals and day trippers

on a sunny Sunday, especially during

one of the many summertime street

fests, Lakeshore can be slow-going.

Best leave the car in the driveway and

explore by foot, or boat!

This neighbourhood is a charmer.

But you’ll have to dig deep, with

detached house prices averaging

north of $700,000 and property

values among the highest in

Mississauga. You can still call this

condo living is to your liking.

Lakeshore and QEW are the main east-

west thoroughfares if you’re driving, or

take public transit via Port Credit GO

routes cutting through the Hurontario/

TTC at Longbranch GO.

Few spots in the GTA o� er this laid-

the infl ux of locals and day trippers

Best leave the car in the driveway and

explore by foot, or boat!

IF YOU INTEND on buying a property

in the future, you may need to come

up with a larger down payment

because of recently announced

new mortgage rules.

In early December, Finance

Minister Bill Morneau announced

changes to the mortgage rules.

Starting Feb. 15, 2016, there will be

extra down payment requirements

for properties costing between

$500,000 and $1 million.

The current fi ve per cent

minimum down payment for the fi rst

$500,000 will stay the same, but

there’ll be a 10 per cent minimum

down payment for the portion of

the home price above $500,000.

For example, someone buying an

$800,000 property would need to

make a down payment of fi ve per cent

on the fi rst $500,000 ($25,000) and 10

per cent on the remaining $300,000

($30,000). That would be equal to a

total down payment of $55,000, or 6.9

per cent of the total purchase price or

an increase of $15,000.

The fi ve per cent minimum

What the new mortgage rules mean for Canadians


down payment for properties

up to $500,000 and the 20 per

cent minimum down payment for

properties above $1 million both

remain unchanged. And Canadians

who currently have a mortgage will

not be a� ected.

The changes are aimed at slowing

the housing markets in Vancouver

and Toronto. While the average

home price is $454,976 in Canada,

it’s $630,876 in Toronto and $947,334

in Vancouver, according to the

Canadian Real Estate Association.

Although the changes are meant

to slow two of the country’s hottest

real estate markets, the rules will

apply across Canada. The changes

will apply to new mortgage loans

where a mortgage insurance

application is received on Feb. 15,

2016 or later.

First-time homebuyers who

planned on making a fi ve-per-cent

down payment on a property that

costs between $500,000 and $1

million will be a� ected the most.

That could lead them to do one of

the following:

» Purchase before the new rules

come into e� ect on Feb. 15

» Delay their purchase until they’ve

saved the additional funds

» Come up with the additional

down payment through a gift

from family

» Buy a property under $500,000,

which could mean they’d buy

a condo instead of a house (in

certain markets)

The new rule changes are the latest

in a series of moves since 2008

that have attempted to slow down

the housing market. Some of the

changes include decreasing the

maximum amortization for insured

mortgages to 25 years, increasing

the minimum down payment from

zero to fi ve per cent, and raising

the minimum down payment on

investment properties from zero to

20 per cent.

YOU WANT EVERYTHING to fi t away

neatly, display perfectly and know

exactly where everything is when you

need it. That’s what being organized

is all about. But is that realistic? Being

organized doesn’t happen overnight

and it doesn’t have a fi nish line.

Getting organized is a process; learn

what works for you.

Keep it real. You’ll never get

organized. Read that again. Yes, that’s

what I said. You’ll never get organized

because being perfectly organized

is not a realistic expectation.

Organization is not a destination.

You don’t just wake up one day and

fi nd that you’ve arrived. It’s a process

— a work in progress. So, if you are

judging yourself against unrealistic

expectations, or holding back on

pursuing a goal because you are

waiting until you “get organized,”

it’s time to look at things di� erently.

Instead of trying to get organized,

strive to become more and more

organized every day. Doesn’t that feel

more attainable?

Use your instincts. Are you

surrounded by piles of papers on

your desk, your fl oor and any other

fl at surface in your o� ce? Don’t fi ght

your instincts, work with them. Rather

than trying to adapt to traditional

ways of fi ling, like using a lateral fi ling

cabinet, use horizontal methods

instead. Use stacking trays or

literature sorters, which can be placed

on your desk or installed on the wall.

Now label them with the categories

Get real with your organizing goals

Advice | QUICK TIPS

“ Let go of what you don’t need to make room for new things to come into your life.”

you use most. It will be easier to adapt

to fi ling papers when you don’t have

to change your piling habit.

Out with the old, in with the new.

Are you holding on to things that

you’ll never use again? Very often

people unconsciously jam their

homes full of stu� because the

sheer volume gives them a feeling

of comfort and security. If you are

operating from a need for abundance,

remember that your success as a

person has nothing to do with all

the outdated or rarely used stu�

overfl owing from your closets. In fact,

it’s probably blocking your prosperity.

Let go of what you don’t need to

make room for new things to come

into your life.

Plan before de-cluttering. Before

beginning any de-cluttering project,

determine in advance how you will

dispose of the items you no longer

want. If you have valuable pieces

and would like to sell them, decide

whether you will do this yourself or

hire someone to do it for you. If you

would like them to go to charity,

which one and where are they

located? Some charities will pick up,

so call them to fi nd out when they

will be in your area. It’s not until

those boxes and bags leave your

home that you will reap the full

rewards of de-cluttering.

Feeling stuck? If you fi nd yourself

backsliding when it comes to

maintaining your organizing systems,

don’t berate yourself. Rather than

dwelling on what went wrong, focus

instead on what needs to be done.

LAST YEAR was a notable one in the

mortgage world: the Bank of Canada

dropped its infl uential overnight

target rate — not once, but twice.

In its latest announcement on

Dec. 2, the BoC held the rate at

0.50 per cent — where it had been

since July after dropping it from

0.75 per cent, where it had been

since January 2015 when the Bank

dropped it from one per cent.

Just a bunch of numbers, right?

Perhaps, but some experts are now

saying rates won’t begin to inch up

from these historical lows until 2017.

This means an extended window of

opportunity for those looking to buy

a home.

If you could lock in at a low rate

over 10 years, for example, that would

give you the comfort of knowing

what your mortgage payments would

be over that period, while over that

time you could also take advantage

of any pre-payment and lump-sum

payment options to pay down your

mortgage.

Another appeal of this scenario

is that, as we often point out,

experts advise you take a long-

term view of your home purchase.

For example, some markets have

recently experienced cooling prices

Window of opportunity

and softening sales. But even if

that were to happen in your market

and housing type, ask yourself: in

10 years, is a home you buy today

likely to be worth more or less? If

you need an answer to this question,

just take a look back at prices 10

years ago. Of course, there are

no guarantees, but if you’re in the

homebuying mode anyway, today’s

low rate environment makes a pretty

compelling reason to act sooner

than later to take advantage of these

opportunities.

Low rates notwithstanding, the

banks, fi nancial fi rms, brokers and

other experts still advise homebuyers

to practice smart borrowing.

Experts stress that even as rates

remain low, buyers should explore

everything from putting down a larger

down payment to taking advantage

of pre-payment options to “stress-

testing” your mortgage at a higher

rate to ensure your fi nances can

accommodate rate fl uctuations or

other unforeseen circumstances.

One day, the mortgage landscape

will change. And if you’re among

those homeowners who have been

somewhat spoiled by continuing

low rates, you could be in for an

unpleasant surprise.

Take advantage of today’s low

rates while you can, but also spend

the time necessary to fi nd a broker

or banker you trust, who knows

their business, and who can help

you explore what options might be

best for you.

More so than in any other area of

homebuying, you’re going to rely on

this advice — now more than ever. It

will prove to be time well spent.

I SPEAK WITH the sales representatives

from many of our projects about the

prospective buyers that visit the sales

o� ces. I hear a variety of di� erent

fi nancial stories, and some that really

irk me. A common theme that I

hear repeated quite often is parents

recommending that their children

stay at home, buy a car to drive to

work, and save up for a house. I shake

my head whenever I hear this poor

advice.

A good friend of mine lived in his

childhood home for eight years after

graduating from university, and took

the above advice from his parents.

He bought a car, spent money on

gas, insurance, and parking when he

went into the city to see his friends

on the weekend. He had to take a

bus to the subway, and then take a

streetcar to work, a 45-minute trip.

He was spending a ton of cash on

his monthly car payment, insurance,

gas, repairs, parking, and metro pass,

in addition to losing an hour and a

half of his day commuting. And as

any single guy can attest, not having

a place of his own put a cramp on his

dating life.

I told him to buy a condo

downtown where he could walk

to work, get rid of the car, sleep in

45 minutes longer, and improve

his status with the opposite sex. He

didn’t take my advice and missed

out on eight of the biggest years

for condominium price growth in

Toronto’s history. The $200,000

Maybe you should stop listening to your parents?

condo I suggested he buy in 2005,

was worth about $320,000 in 2013 —

and he wouldn’t have had to listen to

his mother nagging him to take out

the garbage and cut the lawn!

Now I’m not suggesting that

Toronto will experience a similar

price boom moving forward, but

perhaps you should consider a

di� erent approach to your life than

the path your parents took. At one

time owning a car was the path

to freedom, the means of social

connection, and a key feature of one’s

personal brand. That has changed,

the means of social connection is via

your phone, and your personal brand

is often established online. Fewer and

fewer young people are buying cars

and getting driver’s licenses, choosing

to live downtown and use their funds

to pay down student debt or buy

their fi rst condo.

Don’t be afraid to take your own

path, and getting into the condo

market early can be a great way to

build equity toward buying a lowrise

house in the future. Not ready

to make that monthly mortgage

payment quite yet? Perhaps buying

a pre-construction condo with

expected occupancy in 2018 or

2019 works better for you — take

advantage of price appreciation with

only your down payment. A lot of

millennials have realized a new step

has been added in their property

ladder, and they’ve actually really

enjoyed the climb.

I’m not suggesting that you

completely ignore your parents’

advice on everything moving

forward, but consider a new path

to homeownership that has been

rewarding for so many buyers over

the past decade. Happy condo

hunting.

expected occupancy in 2018 or

2019 works better for you — take

advantage of price appreciation with

only your down payment. A lot of

millennials have realized a new step

has been added in their property

ladder, and they’ve actually really

enjoyed the climb.

I’m not suggesting that you

completely ignore your parents’

advice on everything moving

forward, but consider a new path

to homeownership that has been

rewarding for so many buyers over

the past decade. Happy condo

hunting.

Property Profile | MATTAMY HOMES & BIDDINGTON HOMES

J. DAVIS HOUSE, a midrise

condominium from Mattamy Homes

and Biddington Homes, represents

a rare opportunity to live directly

on Yonge Street in trendy Davisville

Village in the heart of midtown

Toronto.

This will be sophisticated urban

living at its very finest, with a stylish

contemporary design fitting perfectly

among the shops, restaurants

and boutiques that make the

neighbourhood surrounding Yonge

Street and Davisville Avenue one of

the most sought-after in Toronto.

Here is a unique blend of mature trees and homes,

abundant parkland and recreational facilities, established

schools and family-owned markets and shops, just a

three-minute walk from the Davisville TTC station and only

minutes to downtown.

Named after one of Davisville’s most prominent

founding citizens, J. Davis House essentially

encompasses a city block directly on Yonge Street just

one block north of Davisville Avenue and earns a Walk

Score of 96 out of 100. In fact, WalkScore.com rates the

area as a “walker’s, rider’s, biker’s paradise,” given the

multitude of jogging and bike trails on the midtown Kay

Gardiner Trail, just south of Davisville Avenue. In addition

to shopping and restaurants, there are also movie

theatres, libraries, galleries and performance arts venues,

J. Davis House Soon bringing sophisticated urban living to Davisville Village

042-043 PP mattamy - j davis_MC-SB-JM.indd 2 2016-01-12 10:13 AM

all of which are just minutes to Highway 401 or the Don

Valley Parkway.

J. Davis House will be an intimate eight-storey

condominium encompassing 189 beautifully designed suites

blending seamlessly into the Yonge Street landscape — a

private home among the activity and restaurants, shops,

galleries and boutiques that mark Toronto’s main street.

The architecture is modern and contemporary and is

grounded by a base podium of architectural limestone.

Artfully designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects Inc., the

podium will house retail along the Yonge Street frontage

which will animate and envigorate the streetscape. J. Davis

House welcomes residences with a light-infused open

air lobby featuring an inviting fireplace and clean, sleek

lines and finishes.

Being one of the most established neighbourhoods

in Toronto, the J. Davis House design is meant to be

reflective of its surroundings, with a burnt burgundy

brick and glass box exterior blending seamlessly and

highlighting the play of light and shadows. The building

will have an industrial warehouse architecture feel to it,

playing off the neighbourhood’s rich heritage.

J. Davis House suites will feature the finest quality

finishes, appliances and hardware, with fluid and flexible

floorplans designed to maximize efficiency in everyday

living. Suites include nine-ft. smooth ceilings with floor-

to-ceiling windows for an infusion of natural light. Ensuite

laundry includes full-size Energy Star washer and dryer. All

suites include either a walkout terrace or balcony, which

become extensions of the residents’ personal living space.

Buyers will be able to choose from one- and two-

bedroom suites, which range in size from 300 to 1,485 sq. ft.

Condominium suite prices will begin from the low-$300s,

which represents tremendous value in buying into the

convenience and heart of midtown Toronto.

Project amenities have been included to promote an

engaged social lifestyle and include a fully-equipped

fitness area, yoga studio, saunas with separate men and

women’s changing areas, a party room, a games and

billiard room and a guest suite to accommodate overnight

guests. The outdoor fifth floor amenities area includes a

lounge area, cozy fireplace and soothing water feature.

Guests also have the convenience of 24/7 concierge

services to enhance and ease everyday living.

The J. Davis House team is among the most respected

in the real estate industry. Mattamy Homes is the largest

privately owned homebuilder in North America, with

operations across the United States and Canada. Mattamy

has built and closed more than 65,000 homes in 160

communities. In the United States, the company is

represented in eight metropolitan areas — Minneapolis-St.

Paul, Charlotte, Phoenix, Tucson, Jacksonville, Orlando,

Tampa and Sarasota — and in Canada, those communities

stretch across the Greater Toronto Area as well as in

Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton. Mattamy is active in the

highrise condominium sector as a result of its acquisition

of Monarch Corporation in 2015. The company has

three buildings currently being constructed by Mattamy

representing more than 1,000 units in addition to the 37

buildings already completed since the early 1990s. Visit

mattamyhomes.com for more information.

Family-owned real estate developer Biddington Group

of Companies’ history goes back to the 1960s and the

firm’s current portfolio includes more than two million sq.

ft. of industrial, commercial and residential units.

to the traditional aesthetics of Forest Hill. The remarkable

bold shapes that make an unforgettable impression that is

destined to turn heads.

Construction on this 11-storey, 166-unit midrise

development is underway. Madison Homes and Fieldgate

Homes enlisted Kirkor Architects to design the project.

Kirkor boasts an impressive portfolio of projects, so it was

humbling news to discover that founding partner, Clifford

“We will be downsizing in the

future and I wanted to stay midtown,”

said Korman, who also noted that it

was the first time he bought within

a building designed by his team for

his personal use.“ Zigg is a great site

in the heart of the city. I can walk

to great restaurants, shopping, the

reservoir and the park. I’ve been

urging friends, family and neighbours

to buy a unit.”

The residential suites will feature

thoughtfully-designed layouts,

integrated appliances, sleek cabinetry

and luxurious finishes such as

natural stone countertops, floor-

to-ceiling windows and designer-

selected laminate flooring. Take in

the delightful vistas of the city to the

north, south, east or west on your

private terrace or balcony, which is

fitted with privacy screens.

A soaring two-storey lobby with

its subdued colour palette instantly

resonates that “you are home.” From

the golden glow of a sleek, linear

fireplace and the cluster of elegantly

tailored chairs, to the sculptural light

feature that serves as a focal point,

Zigg offers a grand yet intimate entry

area to transition from the outside in.

Zigg’s rooftop oasis will include an

indoor wet bar and lounge, barbecue

area, gazebo, lounging area and

outdoor fireplace. While relaxing or

entertaining there, all residents can

treasure the glorious views of the city

skyline from sunrise to the twinkling

lights of the dramatic skyline at night.

Zigg residents can also enjoy a

casual get-together with friends

and family in the multi-purpose

party room equipped with a bar and

kitchen, lounge seating, large screen

TVs and a billiards table. There will

be a convenient pet-washing station

near the lobby, which will help keep

your pooch (and the building) clean.

Located in prestigious Forest Hill,

well known for its affluence and

magnificent homes commanding

high property values, residents of

Zigg will be in close proximity to

excellent schools, retail shops and

local amenities. The downtown core

is minutes away, which is appealing

to dwellers who want to be in an

established, charming neighbourhood

but close to all the conveniences of

urban living. With LRT just steps away,

quickly connect to either the Yonge

or University subway lines. Enjoy an

active lifestyle with biking and walking

routes nearby.

The Zigg Condo is your ticket to

owning real estate in one of Toronto’s

most desirable neighbourhoods.

There are fabulous penthouse

suites and townhomes still available,

priced from the high-$400s to $1.3

million with one-, two- and three-

bedrooms, ranging from 509 sq. ft. to

1,800 sq. ft. The sales office is located

AT FIRST GLANCE, walking away from

your condo for a holiday or business

trip may seem as simple as that, but

if you skipped a few key steps, your

return could be fi nancially crippling.

In a real-life nightmare, a Toronto

condo owner returned after a

vacation to discover she was on the

hook for tens of thousands of dollars

because her washing machine had

fl ooded the fi ve units below her

and she hadn’t complied with her

insurance provider’s stipulations.

Intact Financial Corporation,

Toronto, notes each building has a

standard unit bylaw that specifi es what

is covered by the condominium and

owner’s respective insurance policies,

in addition to detailing what the

builder included as standard in terms

of fl ooring, cabinetry, fi xtures, etc.

Always check your particular

building’s standard unit bylaw before

obtaining insurance, which might

include coverage for betterments

and improvements to the unit (e.g.

marble countertops, appliances) as

well as additional unit protection

if the condominium corporation is

inadequately insured. Unit owners

may also consider loss assessment

coverage in case the building’s

coverage is inadequate and will

always require contents coverage.

Intact notes that an extended

absence due to vacations does not

a� ect coverage on losses due to

burglary, theft and fi re, however,

there could be limitations regarding

water-related damage. A regular

review of the policy wording,

including limitations, exclusions and

responsibilities, and checking with

the insurance broker/agent is strongly

recommended.

Water-related damage — for

example, leaks, burst pipes, overfl ows

and drain back-ups — tends to be

more common than issues related to

fi re, wind, smoke, hail or explosions.

During the usual heating season,

many insurers who follow IBC’s

recommended practices require

homeowners who will be away

from their units for more than four

consecutive days to take one of the

following precautions to ensure their

coverage remains in force:

» arrange for someone to enter the

unit daily while the owner is away

to check that the heating is working

and that there are no leaking,

frozen or burst pipes, or

» shut o� the water supply and drain

all the pipes and domestic water

containers, or

» arrange for the plumbing and

heating system to be connected

to a monitored alarm station that

provides 24-hour service

To-do before departure1. Be informed: Find out from your

property manager and insurance

broker how soon after your departure

the insurer requires the checks to

start and what they need as proof the

checks took place. Get it in writing.

2. Pre-trip shut-o� s: Turn o� the

main water supply to the unit and

drain all pipes and water tanks.

3. Unit checks: If your building

doesn’t o� er unit checks, ask a

neighbour or friend to do it. Tell them

what they need to check and how to

record it..

Lock it and leave it! Are you meeting condo insurance requirements?

IF YOU’RE PLANNING on buying or renting a

condo, here’s an important lesson: purchase

prices and rents will be higher the closer you are

to major transit hubs such as subway stations.

Sure, it’s convenient to be located adjacent

to a subway stop, but it’ll cost you. How much?

We’ll get to that in a minute. But if you’re okay

with a little walking between home and the

station, you’ll also be in for signifi cant savings.

Andrew Scott, senior market analyst, housing

markets and indicators, Canada Mortgage and

Housing Corp. (CMHC), attaches some hard

numbers to the concept as it relates to the

Toronto highrise market.

For new condos in the city, for example,

the average purchase price per square foot

for buildings less than 500 metres walking

distance to the subway is $632. If you’re willing

to walk a little further, say between 500 and 999

metres, it’ll cost you $595 per square foot; $557

between 1,000 and 1,999 metres; and $492

beyond 2,000 metres.

For renters, distance also pays — or costs,

depending on how you look at it. Average

rents for a two-bedroom apartment less

than 500 metres from the subway are about

$1,477. Between 501 and 1,000 metres, the

rate drops to $1,280, and to $1,158 from

1,001 to 1,500 metres.

“Being close to the subway matters more for

renters than buyers,” Scott told YPNextHome.

“Renters often have lower incomes than

owners, and are younger as well. I don’t think

it’s a huge leap in logic to presume that these

households are more likely to value subway

access since they are not able to a� ord, or do

not want to own, a private car.”

Proximity to transit as a key driver of real

estate is not a new concept; we’ve long known

that there’s a price to pay for access and

convenience.

“Distance is now measured in minutes, not

kilometres,” is how the Real Estate Investment

Network (REIN) sums it up. Transportation is

one of the most dramatic catalysts for real

estate growth.

Generally, one of the attributes coveted by

Trending

homebuyers is nearness to a city’s Central Business District

(CBD). Access to good highway systems, mass transit and

commuter rail is sought to a� ord easy access to the CBD.

The basic theory in real estate is that the more attractive

the location, the higher the value of the home. As the

demand for homes in that area expands, the result is

higher housing values.

In its study of the Greater Toronto Area, REIN has found

that transportation projects will deliver a 10- to 20-per-

cent enhancement of real estate values in the regions

most a� ected. If the market goes up everywhere, these

areas will increase by about 10 to 20 per cent. If the values

drop, these will drop by 10 to 20 per cent.

The concept is not just a Toronto phenomenon, or even

a Canadian one.

In studies of the e� ect of transportation improvements

on real estate around the world, value increases occur for

properties located within 500 to 800 metres of stations on

new transportation lines.

Several Toronto neighbourhoods are expected to

experience price increases when the new rapid transit

stations are completed.

highrise developments:

» Eglinton Crosstown

» Sheppard East LRT

1. Layering fabrics isn’t just for

furniture. Rugs can look amazing

layered too. I love adding a cowhide

rug to tie together unusual furniture

arrangements or punctuate the centre

of a space. A sheepskin-style rug

also makes a stylish accent to areas

such as the edge of the bed, under a

footstool, or even draped over a chair

or bar stool for a softer seat.

TIP: Layer rugs like crazy to get a

patchwork quilt look that adds huge

drama — mix five to seven smaller

rugs in one room (check out the CB2

photo on this page for inspiration).

Alternately, you can use carpet tiles

to fake a large rug under your existing

one, and fill in the edges of a room.

2. Copper, gold and brass bring a

classic yet trendy style and warm

undertones without feeling like an

overly strong colour. If you’re timid

(or already invested in silver), start

small by layering these metals in with

accents such as frames, tableware

and lamps. The mix of silver and gold

hues creates a subtle Art Deco-

inspired vibe, so there’s no reason not

PRICES OF NEW GTA lowrise homes

have once again climbed to a new

record high, according to the Building

Industry and Land Development

Association (BILD).

The average price of new detached,

semi-detached and townhomes

across the region reached $818,354

at the end of November. This is a

17-per-cent increase from November

2014 when the average price was

$700,779, according to RealNet

Canada Inc., BILD’s o� cial source

for new-home market intelligence.

“Prices in the lowrise market

have more than doubled in the last

10 years,” says BILD president and

CEO Bryan Tuckey. “This signifi cantly

reduces the average buyer’s ability

to a� ord a new lowrise home in

the GTA.”

The average price of a new lowrise

home in November 2005 was

$388,805.

Average prices of highrise homes

saw little change, as a result of

smaller suite sizes across the GTA.

The average price of a highrise

home was $446,981 at the end of

November, a decrease of less than

one per cent from November 2014

when the average price was $449,371.

Meanwhile the average size of a new

highrise suite in November was 772

sq. ft. — a decrease of four per cent

from 2014 and 14 per cent from

2005, when suite size was 810 and

901 sq. ft., respectively.

“While average prices of highrise

suites have not changed, the price

per square foot continues to grow,”

Tuckey says. “To keep the price of

new condominiums within reach for

new-home buyers, the industry has

found creative ways to reduce the

overall size of suites while maximizing

living space.”

The price per square foot of new

highrise homes in the GTA was $579

at the end of November, marking

a four per cent increase from

November 2014 when the price was

$555. The average price per square

foot has grown 74 per cent in the last

10 years from $333.

“Our member companies continue

to fi nd new and innovative ways to

build new homes that are a� ordable

for new-home buyers amidst a

price surge fueled by constrained

supply of serviced land designated

for development,” Tuckey says. “It

is a challenge because constrained

supply has resulted in fewer new

homes being brought to market,

which means demand is far outpacing

supply, particularly in the lowrise

market.”

There were 1,800 new detached,

semi-detached and townhomes sold

in November in the GTA, bringing the

remaining inventory of new lowrise

inventory down to 4,669 homes. This

is a 73 per cent decrease in inventory

from 2005 when the amount of

homes available for sale was 17,311.

A detailed table of new-home sales

across the region is available below.

“The GTA has less than three

months of inventory remaining,”

Tuckey says. “It is critical that we have

an adequate supply of serviced land

designated for development so that

we can continue to build quality,

complete communities that people

can a� ord and want to purchase.”

Property Profile | LANTERRA DEVELOPMENTS

LANTERRA DEVELOPMENTS has tremendous talent for

transforming unrealized parts of the city into bustling

mixed-use communities.

Led by partners Mark Mandelbaum and Barry Fenton,

Lanterra famously did this with Maple Leaf Square, turning

the no man’s land between Front Street and Lake Shore

Boulevard into a bustling hub of condos, shops, restaurants

and entertainment. Nearby, they’re completing work on

Ice Condos, a pair of iconic Scandinavian design-inspired

towers at the foot of York Street that are a contemporary

new addition to the skyline. Even the firm’s WaterPark

City project pioneered the now teeming Fort York

neighbourhood. “We’ve been called trailblazers,” says

President and CEO Barry Fenton, suggesting ‘contrarians’

might be an equally apt description of the company ethos.

“We’re usually the first to get into an area and redevelop it.”

Lanterra continues to turn under-utilized properties into

high profile condo projects, and is having great success

doing so. In 2014, the company sold more than 2,000

units, about 15 per cent of the entire market, driven by

two of the year’s highest grossing launches: Teahouse at

501 Yonge St., which will revitalize a full block on the city’s

iconic Yonge Street; and Wellesley on the Park, a condo

project on a long-vacant site that includes a 1.6-acre

green space.

And things didn’t slow down for Lanterra’s dynamic

duo in 2015.

At Bay and Wellesley streets, Lanterra is redeveloping

the timeworn Sutton Place Hotel into The Britt Residences,

a 41-storey, 691-suite luxury condominium tower,

designed by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects, with

interiors by Munge Leung. Nine additional storeys will be

added on top of the existing structure, and 20,000 sq.

ft. of street-level retail will infuse new energy along Bay

Street. “We wanted to bring glamour back to The Sutton

Place,” explains Lanterra Chairman Mark Mandelbaum.

“So we chose the best design team to transform this

aging icon into a renewed architectural gem.”

325-sq.-ft. studios to 1,190-sq.-ft.

three-bedroom suites, and are priced

from $278,900 to $1.18 million.

Suites will have multi-strip

engineered hardwood flooring in

principal rooms and eight-, and nine-

ft. ceilings. Kitchens come equipped

with designer series cabinetry, granite

countertops and stainless steel

appliances. Bathrooms will have

porcelain or ceramic flooring and a

five-ft. soaker tub or shower.

The Britt’s spa will be a place

yoga studio. Other amenities include

a fully equipped fitness centre, multi-

home theatre room, outdoor pool,

and lounge areas with barbecue

stations.

Up at Dufferin Street and Lawrence

Avenue, Lanterra’s Treviso community

is helping to turn around the midtown

neighbourhood.

Phase one was a rip-roaring

success, and Treviso II, a 24-storey

building with 526 units, designed by

Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects,

is now under construction. Suites, by

Munge Leung, range from 608-sq.-

ft. one-bedroom with study units to

1,084-sq.-ft. three-bedroom with den

units, and are priced from $297,900

to $559,900. Suites have laminate

flooring, stacked washer-dryer and

exterior glass sliding doors. Kitchens

come with granite countertops

and stainless steel appliances, and

bathrooms have porcelain or ceramic

flooring, and five-ft. tubs or showers.

Amenities at Treviso II include a

fitness centre, spa and pool, plus a

party room, billiards room and multi-

purpose room.

But, Lanterra isn’t finished just

yet at Dufferin and Lawrence. The

developer has launched the third

phase of Treviso, Residenze Palazzo,

a 15-storey tower with 372 units.

Suites range from 469-sq.-ft.

one-bedrooms to 936-sq.-ft. three-

bedroom plus dens, and are priced

from $241,900 to $485,900. They

have laminate flooring and stacked

laundry, and kitchens with granite


appliances.

“Our Treviso community pays

homage to the great designs of Italy,”

says Mandelbaum. “And this project

is a perfect example of what we do

best: revitalize an area that’s been

crying out for a bit of amore.”

Property Profile | LANTERRA DEVELOPMENTS

LANTERRA DEVELOPMENTS has tremendous talent for

transforming unrealized parts of the city into bustling

mixed-use communities.

Led by partners Mark Mandelbaum and Barry Fenton,

Lanterra famously did this with Maple Leaf Square, turning

the no man’s land between Front Street and Lake Shore

Boulevard into a bustling hub of condos, shops, restaurants

and entertainment. Nearby, they’re completing work on

Ice Condos, a pair of iconic Scandinavian design-inspired

towers at the foot of York Street that are a contemporary

new addition to the skyline. Even the firm’s WaterPark

City project pioneered the now teeming Fort York

neighbourhood. “We’ve been called trailblazers,” says

President and CEO Barry Fenton, suggesting ‘contrarians’

might be an equally apt description of the company ethos.

“We’re usually the first to get into an area and redevelop it.”

Lanterra continues to turn under-utilized properties into

high profile condo projects, and is having great success

doing so. In 2014, the company sold more than 2,000

units, about 15 per cent of the entire market, driven by

two of the year’s highest grossing launches: Teahouse at

501 Yonge St., which will revitalize a full block on the city’s

iconic Yonge Street; and Wellesley on the Park, a condo

project on a long-vacant site that includes a 1.6-acre

green space.

And things didn’t slow down for Lanterra’s dynamic

duo in 2015.

At Bay and Wellesley streets, Lanterra is redeveloping

the timeworn Sutton Place Hotel into The Britt Residences,

a 41-storey, 691-suite luxury condominium tower,

designed by Page + Steele/IBI Group Architects, with

interiors by Munge Leung. Nine additional storeys will be

added on top of the existing structure, and 20,000 sq.

ft. of street-level retail will infuse new energy along Bay

Street. “We wanted to bring glamour back to The Sutton

Place,” explains Lanterra Chairman Mark Mandelbaum.

“So we chose the best design team to transform this

aging icon into a renewed architectural gem.”

Branthaven Homes brings holiday cheer to YWCA HamiltonBRANTHAVEN HOMES helped

deliver some holiday cheer to

YWCA Hamilton recently, when

the Burlington, Ont.-based builder

brought in a stylist, local artist and a

team of volunteers to treat residents

to a day of holiday-inspired treats and

festivities, capping it off with a craft

and a tree lighting ceremony.

Women living at the YWCA

often have nowhere to go. Having

struggled with homelessness,

addiction, mental illness and

violence, the few possessions they

carry with them are everything

they own.

“When Branthaven began

brainstorming about initiatives in

which we could participate during

this holiday season, the women

of the YWCA immediately came

to mind,” says Kristen Bellamy,

marketing manager at Branthaven

Homes. “Bringing in our team to

decorate for the season, while

encouraging interaction and

celebration among the women is

something that we were fortunate

enough to be able to witness,

once more.”

Cyndi McMullen, a YWCA resident

who has lived at the facility for a

year-and-a-half was beaming with

excitement over the project. “It

means a lot. There are many people

in Hamilton without a family, and

Branthaven came in with Christmas

decorations and trees – it’s just

mind-blowing.”

Earlier this year, Branthaven

Homes renovated all 65 transitional

housing units at the YWCA

Hamilton. After watching a TV

segment on the Y’s transitional living

program and finding the rooms

bleak, Branthaven President Steve

Stipsits was motivated to champion

the $400,000 rejuvenation.

“We worked closely on the

rejuvenation project because our

goal was to give women living at

the YWCA Hamilton a beautifully

renovated space that would have

a positive impact on their lives,”

says Stipsits. “It turns out that the

women gave us more than that. We

had a new-found appreciation for

women who were going through

challenging journeys. We found

their determination, perseverance

and strength inspirational.”

Left to right, Branthaven Homes’ Christine Fletcher, sales administrator; Corry Holloway, contracts administrator; President Steve Stipsits; and a YWCA Hamilton resident participate in seasonal decoration activities.

Property Profile | FREED DEVELOPMENTS & CAPITAL DEVELOPMENTS

ALREADY RESPONSIBLE FOR introducing some of the most eye-

catching, style-savvy buildings to Toronto’s midtown, the award-

winning team behind the successful Art Shoppe Lofts + Condos

and 155 Redpath, have partnered again to introduce the uniquely-

designed 150 Redpath.

Recognizing the evolving need and schedules of today’s condo

buyers, Freed Developments and Capital Developments have

designed 150 Redpath specifically with its residents in mind by

creating an amenity program that caters to their lifestyle no matter

the time of day.

“Condo buyers’ wish lists have changed with their evolving lifestyle

needs,” says Peter Freed, president of Freed Developments. “This

was a main consideration as we

selected the 24/7 amenity offering

at 150 Redpath. We took a 360

approach and explored how to make

condominiums reflect the residents,

and offer them the best services

possible, right at home.”

With amenity spaces stretching

over two floors, residents will enjoy

a state-of-the-art fitness facility with

cardio equipment, free weights and

a studio/stretch area; barbeques

with private dining areas; and a party

room, including a kitchen and bar,

indoor dining and lounge area, as well

as a connection to a private outdoor

dining area that is complete with a

barbeque, fire pit and lounge.

Additionally, the forward-thinking

developers have included more

contemporary amenities, unrivaled

in the Toronto market, that make

living at 150 Redpath a truly unique

experience. Outside, residents can

lounge by the 80-ft. infinity pool

with an overflow hot tub, relax and

sunbathe in the poolside cabana

lounges, or by the secluded fire pit

retreat. Tranquility continues indoors

at the relaxing On Spa, equipped with

hot stone relaxation beds, a steam

room and tranquility lounge.

A perfect space to spend the

day or evening with friends, The

Cave games room is the ultimate

entertainment space. Complete with

a golf simulator, wet bar equipped

with taps, games tables and a TV area

to catch the big game, everyone will

want to be at 150 Redpath. On the

main floor facing Redpath Avenue,

150 Redpath will also boast a 24/7

diner with a large terraced seating

area. Serving classic favourites, with a

contemporary twist, the diner will be

open to the public, but offer exclusive

perks for residents, including service

to the rooftop pool deck and in-suite

room service.

The 38-storey tower designed by

architectsAlliance features a variety

of suites, lofts, penthouses and

townhomes that range in size from

a 331-sq.-ft. studio to a spacious

1,403-sq.-ft., three-bedroom-plus-

The modernistic interior designs

by Johnson Chou include floor-to-

ceiling windows, exposed concrete

ceilings, engineered laminate flooring,

and custom-designed kitchen

cabinetry and vanity by Johnson

Chou.

Beyond 150 Redpath, this dynamic

neighbourhood is popular among

young professionals, families and

empty nesters alike. The vibrant


boasts convenient access to public

transit including the Yonge subway

line and future crosstown LRT, and

countless entertainment options.

“Savoury restaurants, chic retail

outlets, prominent office towers and

lush community parks can be found

within a short walk in any direction,”

says Jordan Dermer, managing

partner at Capital Developments.

“Whether you’re investing or

interested in fitness, entertaining,

relaxing, dining or shopping, 150

Redpath and Yonge and Eglinton have

it all.”

WASTED SPACE certainly does not

make good fi nancial sense when

considering the investment in a

new condominium residence. If

you’re not using the space, why pay

for it? Podium Developments’ new

University Studios has eliminated that

problem by bringing the new trend

of SmartStudios to the GTA with its

new fully furnished and equipped

studio condominiums adjacent to

the campuses of Durham College

and the University of Ontario in

Oshawa (UOIT).

The design of University Studios is by

Wallman Architects, one of the most

respected and innovative architectural

fi rms in the country. Principal Rudy

Wallman carefully researched how

university students actually ‘experience’

university life in preparation for

designing the SmartStudios at

University Studios to ensure the design

made sense from both a fi nancial and

livability standpoint.

“Priorities change as students move

through university,” says Wallman.

“In the fi rst few years, social life is

a high priority. During this time, it

makes sense for students to live in

accommodations that have shared

Trending

University Studios’ SmartStudios maximize e� ciency in everyday living

living, dining, kitchen and bathroom

spaces, with the only private space

provided by bedrooms. Privacy

becomes more important in later

years as studies become increasingly

serious. Privacy promotes productivity,

so private space becomes essential for

more mature students. SmartStudios

provide a completely private

environment in which all spaces within

suites are accessible only to individual

occupants.”

Sized at 274, 366 and 376 sq.

ft., and priced from just $149,990,

University Studios provide

unparalleled value for residential living

in the GTA. The SmartStudios come

with a custom furniture package,

including high-quality appliances,

washer and dryer, fl at screen TV,

three-piece private washroom in-

suite, and a clever ‘TabledBed,’ which

converts from a dining and work

table into a traditional ‘Murphy bed’

at night.

“Our mandate was to provide all

facilities in a very compact suite size,”

says Wallman. “We created a linear

block containing storage, study area

and European kitchen on one side,

which freed up the remainder of the

suite for the bathroom, table area and

living space. It’s incredibly functional

with zero wasted space, provides

maximum value for the price, and of

course, creates the completely private

environment these students now

require.”

Social interaction will still be a key

component to the success of the

building, so the project features

an open common room and lounge

on each fl oor, with large windows

for an abundance of natural light.

Other amenities include formal

meeting spaces, a fi tness area and a

games room, which opens onto an

outdoor courtyard with a seating area

and fi replace.

SmartStudios have become

an international phenomenon in

cities such as New York and San

Francisco and Wallman sees this

trend continuing and growing with

University Studio’s introduction of

the concept to the GTA.

“I’m convinced that this will be a

growing trend, especially here in the

GTA,” says Wallman. “We’re becoming

a vertical city because we’re simply

running out of large areas for

housing development, especially near

universities where student housing is

so limited. This concept appeals to a

certain demographic and it is proving

very popular.”

University Studios is being co-

developed by Building Capital

and Podium Developments and is

managed by Varsity Properties, part of

the same team behind the successful

University Suites, which recently

launched on the campus of Queen’s

University in Kingston, Ontario.

For more information on University

Studios and the opportunity for

condo living in the GTA from just

$149,990, go to universitystudios.ca.

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.
