Helping you in your journey

Small talk

As you review this issue, we hope the

journey toward the discovery of your

new home meets your expectations.

It’s important to bring a fresh

perspective when shopping for a new

home or new condo.

Unlike a resale property, it’s an

opportunity to own a new abode

outfi tted with the fi nishes and features

that you want, not what the previous

owner left behind.

Looking for more home options,

news and advice? Visit us online

and enjoy an enhanced journey that

includes neighbourhood facts and

data, as well as a rich listing experience

with visuals and fl oorplans. You’ll be

able to connect easily when you see

something you love.

We even provide exclusive video

tours of some of Toronto’s best

neighbourhoods. Check out my own

‘hood, The Beaches, noted above.

Visit us at YPNextHome.ca

These days, bigger isn’t always better.

Builders and developers are o� ering

smaller suite layouts, but more in

terms of amenities that take living

well beyond your unit.

When looking for a new home,

think about how you use your space.

Sure, bedrooms are a must-have,

but how do you spend your precious

waking hours?

Many condos o� er an interesting

selection of amenities such as a

swimming pool, library, gym and party

room. The opportunities are endless

for quality “me” time, without ever

leaving the comfort of home.

In terms of your actual suite,

spaces are designed and equipped to

make the most of every square inch.

From open-concept living areas and

furniture-style cabinetry to multi-

functional furnishings, the space you

do have, though perhaps small, will

be the sweetest space of them all.

MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice

ACROSS THE GTA, PUBLIC ART

is enhancing buildings and

communities and making them more

attractive and inviting to residents,

visitors and passersby.

The art can take many forms,

such as large playful or modern

sculptures, intricate lighting

installations, coloured and etched

glass embedded into the fabric of

buildings or even patterns and words

integrated into pavement. Some

pieces of public art are not only

decorative but also functional and

provide illumination or a place to sit.

Many pieces of public art help create

a sense of place and some give a nod

to the history of their location.

Public art is a placemaker for neighbourhoods

Much of the public art in the

region was created through

collaborations of land developers,

municipalities and artists.

In the city of Toronto, public

art is funded as part of a new

development. Through its Percent

for Public Art policy, the City requires

developers to spend one per cent

of the overall construction value of

their new developments to create

public art.

There are more than 200 public

art installations that have come as a

result of the public art policy.

Famous Canadian novelist and

artist Douglas Coupland has created

a number of them. He has worked

with the development industry to

create pieces such as Canoe Landing

Park’s large red canoe and the

colourful fi shing bobbers that anchor

Concord Adex Development’s

CityPlace neighbourhood in

downtown Toronto.

The park is enjoyed by residents

and employees in the surrounding

buildings, as well as visitors who

come to experience interactive art.

In this case, in particular, the public

art has also created and reinforced

a sense of community in a newly-

developed area where there wasn’t a

permanent community before.

Coupland also created the soldier

sculpture entitled Monument to the

War of 1812 at Fleet and Bathurst

streets, which was commissioned by

BILD member Malibu Investments.

Outside the city, municipalities

such as Markham and Mississauga

have policies and programs that

encourage developers to include

public art in their development plans,

but they are not mandatory.

In Mississauga, one BILD member

embraced the idea and voluntarily

commissioned a work of art that

is now establishing a sense of

place for a new neighbourhood. A

sculpture by Canadian artist David

James called Heaven and Earth

was unveiled in July outside HOT

Condominiums by Great Gulf.

The landmark sculpture funded by

the developer is located at the corner

of Winston Churchill Boulevard and

Eglinton Avenue West. Sitting at the

gateway to the new community, this

sculpture is topped with a mirrored

sphere can be enjoyed by residents,

visitors and anyone who travels

through that major intersection.

buyers, visit tarion.com or fi nd us on Facebook at facebook.com/TarionWarrantyCorp.

Advice | TARION REPORT

By Howard Bogach

How does your builder rank? Let’s fi nd out

HAVE YOU BOUGHT a new house or

condo in the past year? We want to

hear from you! Every fall, Tarion sends

out surveys to all new homebuyers

across the province. It’s our chance

to hear from you about your new

home experience and your chance

to have your voice heard. Let us

know if your home and builder met

your expectations, and how you rate

your experience with the new home

warranty. As a recent new-home

buyer, your feedback is essential to

us as we constantly look to improve

the new-home buying experience

in Ontario.

Buying a new home is an exciting

time – but having a good experience

can greatly depend on your builder.

How did you fi nd the whole process,

from signing the deal to fi nally getting

the keys? Did your new home have

everything you agreed to and signed

for? And if not, did your builder

listen to your concerns and fi x the

problems? Your opinion matters

to us – it not only helps determine

if your builder will be recognized

with a customer service award, but

it also helps us make important

improvements to Tarion’s services.

Every year, builders that have

enough responses to their surveys

are provided with individual reports

that compare their results to the

average (without identifying the

participants, of course). We also meet

with builders to help explain and

analyze their scores and o� er advice

on improving customer service. If

necessary, we also deliver customer

service training to low performing

builders. So, if your new home

buying experience did not meet your

expectations, let us know. We always

want to help make the experience

better for everyone.

Your participation also has a direct

impact on your builder’s reputation.

We use the results of this survey to

determine fi nalists and recipients

of the Tarion Awards of Excellence.

These are the only awards in the

province that recognize builders

solely on the basis of their customer

service. As we say, it’s the only builder

award that is earned, not won. If a

builder becomes a fi nalist or recipient

of this award, it will be placed on

their o� cial record on the Ontario

Builder Directory (available at tarion.

com) for everyone to see. For anyone

researching a new-home builder,

this is great way to fi nd out how their

customers feel about them.

So, if you have taken possession

of a new house or condo in the past

year, keep an eye out for the Tarion

survey by email or mail this month.

This is your chance tell us about

your home-buying experience and

infl uence whether your builder should

be recognized for their customer

service. And remember – your

opinion matters, so please take the

time to share it with us!

Property Profile | MATTAMY/MONARCH

cover story

Beautiful boutique living on the waterfront

THE FIRST RULE OF REAL ESTATE IS,

and always will be, location, location,

location. Nowhere is this more true

than at Riva del Lago, the midrise

boutique property set at the edge of

the Lake Ontario waterfront, just west

of the Humber River.

While any waterfront living offers

its own obvious appeal, all waterfront

options aren’t necessarily equal. A

visit to the Mattamy/Monarch sales

centre on the Lakeshore will quickly

reveal that Riva del Lago is beautifully

positioned directly across the road

from the Humber Bay Butterfly

Habitat. These extraordinarily lush

grounds are preserved by the city for

the benefit of its resident butterfly,

fowl and waterfowl species. And yet,

it warmly welcomes anyone who

wishes to stroll through its green

and calming pathways. Imagine

what mornings or evenings could

be like for you when a few steps can

transform you from an urban city

dweller to a nature hiker.

And that’s really the point; the paths

that cross your front steps may also

carry you directly into the heart of

the city if you choose to walk, jog, or

cycle to work. The positioning of the

park and paths along the water’s edge

ensure that no other development will

ever obscure your exceptional view of

the city skyline. Yes, the Humber Bay

is courteous enough to curve at such

an angle that positions your view to

precisely profile the impressive towers

and structures of the city.

Access into and out of the city

is also simplified by the strategic

positioning of Riva del Lago. At

the opposite end from the water

runs the TTC Lakeshore streetcar

tracks that will carry you east into

the core, or west to the edge of the

city. For drivers, Lakeshore Blvd. is

also a handy artery into the city, as

is the Gardiner Expressway with its

eastbound on-ramp just meters away.

Being a boutique condo inspires

a more intimate, casual way of

life. Entry and exit to and from the

building is less time-consuming

and cumbersome. And, with fewer

residents in a specific place, it’s

always easier to get to know

your neighbours.

Monarch has recently become

a part of Mattamy Homes. Well-

respected builders in their own

rights, this new partnership assures

a superior standard of quality will be

carried forward in a greater, more

exciting variety of living styles.

Ultimately, the builders’ strategic

approach to community planning

shines through yet again. Known

for thoughtfulness in the design of

their communities, as well as of their

homes, Mattamy & Monarch once

again deliver for their homeowners.

Of course, this condominium

provides all the wonderful

conveniences of contemporary

urban living. But the insight to

position Riva del Lago so smartly

provides incalculable value in

terms of breathtaking views — and

immediate access to the natural

dimensions of a satisfying home

life within a major metropolis.

Condos range in size from

616 sq. ft. up to 1,188 sq. ft. and

are priced from $358,990. The

Mattamy Monarch sales centre

is located at 2167 Lakeshore

Boulevard West, Etobicoke.

“Almost ready?” queried David, as he side-stepped the trio who were setting up in the gracious living room of their new penthouse. “I’m looking forward to seeing everyone before we leave for Paris tomorrow.” Their son, a young violin protégé, was debuting his solo the following day in France. His adoring wife was busy in the grand kitchen with an army of caterers. The table set for twelve sparkled, and the gas fireplace added a special glow as flames reflected in their well-loved Georgian furniture. “We’re just about ready,” said Sophia, as she poured David a single malt, and they stepped onto their terrace drinking in their spectacular view.

MOVING INTO A CONDOMINIUM

allows suite owners to leave behind the

worries of maintaining a large property

and embrace a more carefree lifestyle.

Nonetheless, a major move can also be

stressful – especially if you are coming

from a large home with countless

possessions. A little pre-planning can

make moving day go smoothly.

Even if you purchase at the very

beginning of sales and your condo

will not be ready for occupancy for

a couple of years, start thinking now

about paring down. Why move items

that will just clutter your space and add

the hassle of trying to sell or give away

after you’ve settled in?

Here are a few tips that can help:

» Take a good look at your fl oorplan

and fi gure out what furniture can go

where. Pay attention to the room

Make the condo move with easeSome handy tips to help

dimensions and be reasonable.

Ask yourself what you already own

that you will want in your new

environment. Flag pieces that will

not be part of your condominium

lifestyle and start the process of

fi nding homes for them.

» When you pare down possessions,

remember that the amenities

in the building are like extensions

of your living space. There’s no

need for that elliptical trainer if you

have an equipped fi tness room an

elevator-ride away.

» Consider hiring an organizer

to help you envision your

new space and decide what is

appropriate to move with you.

These professionals have an eye

for looking at a room and knowing

exactly how to maximize the area.

» If you need to purchase furniture,

take heart – today’s manufacturers

have gone all out to design multi-

purpose items that can help you

make the most of your space.

From Murphy beds to co� ee tables

that swivel up to become dining

surfaces and armoires that can house

entertainment systems or computer

nooks, there are items available in

just about any colour and style you

would want.

» Are you a plant fanatic? Here’s where

your fl oorplan can come in handy

again. Which directions do your

windows and balconies face? What

plants do well in those natural light

conditions? And give some thought

to container gardening on your

balcony or terrace.

» Be sure to ask your developer early

on about the procedure on move-in

day. You may have to book elevators

well in advance. And of course, this

needs to be co-ordinated with your

moving company. Moving day is a lot

more pleasant when there are

no surprises.

» Leave children and pets with

someone else on that day. Having

to keep track of toddlers or dogs will

add unnecessary stress.

When it comes to moving into your

new condo, a little foresight goes a

long way to achieving your beautiful

vision. Even if your occupancy date is

well into the future, start your move

now – mentally. Then enjoy your

fabulous new home!

Advice | STAT CHAT

By Ben Myers

Are you ready to buy?

ARE YOU ON THE FENCE ABOUT

buying your fi rst condominium? Some

people put a lot of stock in the market

data, and according to the Toronto

Real Estate Board, the average resale

condominium apartment sold in

August was about $380,000 in the

GTA, an increase of 7.6 per cent

annually. The ‘416’ area increased

by 9.5 per cent annually, one of the

biggest jumps since the last major

condo surge in 2011. Apparently, that

glut of condo units that was going

to depress the market seemingly had

the opposite e� ect — the improved

neighbourhoods and modern projects

got people more excited about

highrise living. If you hadn’t heard,

nearly 30,000 condo apartments

have completed construction in the

Toronto metro area over the past

12 months, matching how many

Vancouver has completed over the

past four years!

Despite much of the market

evidence that the condominium

market is on solid footing, people like

to get their friends’ and colleagues’

opinion on taking the plunge into

home ownership. First-time buyers

put a lot of stock in the views and

attitudes of their peers. According to

September 2014 data by Bloomberg/

Nanos, 44 per cent of Canadians

surveyed felt real estate prices would

increase, 44 per cent felt they would

stay the same, and 11 per cent felt

they would decrease. In the most

recent Bloomberg/Nanos Canadian

Consumer Confi dence report, 34

per cent felt real estate values would

increase, while 45 per cent felt they

would stay the same, and 17 per

cent expect prices to drop. Does the

declining share of Canadians that

expect housing prices to increase

bother you? Or does the fact that

twice as many Canucks feel prices will

increase versus decrease satisfy your

need for peer approval?

Although I’ve always advocated for

investing in real estate (with a long-

term hold outlook), the likelihood is

that a majority of the people that will

read this article are looking to buy a

condominium to live in. The market

data is positive, and the majority of

surveyed Canadians don’t anticipate

prices going down — so you will

ultimately have to decide what you

can a� ord and if homeownership is

currently right for you.

Get a good realtor, ask your condo-

owning friends a bunch of questions

and if you think you might not be

ready quite yet, consider buying a

new pre-construction condo and

plan your move for a couple years

down the road.

SO YOU’VE DECIDED TO BUY

an investment condo in 2015.

Congratulations! As a fi rst-time

investor, there are fi ve questions you

need to ask yourself before buying a

new condo.

1 | What are your goals?

Figure out what your goals are. Are

you looking to make a short- or long-

term investment? What kind of return

are you looking to achieve? Are you

more interested in income or capital

gain – or both? Deciding what your

goals are up front will better help you

achieve them in the long run.

2 | What can you a� ord?

Talk to your mortgage broker or

lender and get a mortgage pre-

approval before you start your search.

This will help you fi gure out what

you can a� ord, and will help you

start to narrow your search. Also,

make sure you are prepared for the

developer’s requirements with respect

to fi nancing. Most new condos will

for a free gift. Contact Andrew at 416.371.2333 or [email protected]

Advice | INVESTOR INSIGHTS

Keep your eye on the prize5 things condo investors should look for

require a 15 to 20 per cent deposit up

front, as well as a mortgage approval

letter showing you can a� ord the unit

you are purchasing.

3 | What is your exit strategy?

Will you buy, hold and rent for the long

term before selling? Will you buy pre-

construction and then fl ip (assign) your

unit prior to the fi nal closing? Will you

buy pre-construction, close on the

unit, rent it out for one or two years,

and then sell it? Will you buy, wait for

completion, and then refi nance and

re-invest the proceeds? Take time to

assess the risks and rewards associated

with the di� erent exit strategies.

4 | What should you buy?

Some units make better investments

than others. Questions to consider

include: Which locations are likely

to experience the most growth

in the next few years? What type

of unit is the most attractive to

renters? Which type of unit tends to

appreciate faster than others?

5 | When should you buy?

When buying for investment, it

is generally best to buy when a

new building launches. This is

when prices are the lowest, and

availability of investor-grade suites

is highest. But there are other great

opportunities to buy, including right

before the developer meets the

sales target to secure construction

fi nancing, or during the occupancy

stage. In both of these instances

developers tend to be highly

motivated to sell and this is when

they often introduce great buyer-

incentives or cash discounts.

United to fi nd the best Instagram

photo that refl ected love for living

on the east-side. On Sept. 26, the

team at East United celebrated the

culmination of its East vs. West

campaign and the launch of its new

condo development with a pop-up

concert headlined by Young Empires,

with Eldridge as the honouree.

“It was so much fun to be able to

invite my friends for a private concert

with Young Empires,” says Eldridge.

“The band put on a great show and

the space behind East United ended

up being the perfect venue.”

The one-hour set, which took

place in the lot outside of the East

United sales centre, seemed to fi t

with East United’s overall e� orts to

showcase how great life can be east

of Yonge St., and was a nod to the

building’s amenity spaces, which lists

a jam room for musicians among its

eclectic o� erings.

“For so long the west has been

the default district for arts, culture

and shopping in Toronto, but that’s

starting to change,” says Leslie

Marlowe, president of Berkshire Axis

Development, who introduced the

band on stage. “The east end has its

champions and we wanted to reward

one with a private concert. This is a

celebration of the east side and the

people who live here.”

Mirroring the unique fabric of

the east end, both sides of the

Trending

East end resident parties with Young Empires

development’s façades pay homage to the neighbourhood’s heritage

and contemporary aesthetics. While the fi ve-storey podium on

Parliament exudes a stylized modernism, the preserved heritage

building along Berkeley, a former row of stables, gives the residences

an historical depth.

The interior’s aesthetic pulls inspiration from the intermingling

characters of the building’s vibrant locale. From the St. Lawrence

Market, King East Design District to the historic cobblestone streets

of the distillery, Corktown’s eclectic identity is embedded into East

United’s design.

East United Condos is a 21-storey development consisting of 289

units located at 93 Berkeley St., with prices from the mid $200,000s.

The building o� ers one- two- three- and four-bedroom layouts

ranging from 350 s.f. to 1,400 s.f. Open to registrants as of Sept. 26,

Purchaser Profile

Senior pares down from a home to a new condo in the Upper BeachesBy Marlene Eisner

SHARRON ROBARTS HAS BEEN A

homeowner in the Beaches for more

than 35 years. Recently, she decided

to downsize and bought herself a

two-bedroom condo in the Upper

Beaches in Phase 2 of Streetcar

Developments’ Southwood Ravine

Collection. New Condo Guide spoke

with the 68-year-old to ask her how

she went about making the decision.

NCG: When did you decide to start

looking for a condo?

Robarts: I started thinking about it in

February [2015]. I was finding that the

house was getting to be too much

work and I wanted to pare down.

NCG: Where did you start looking?

Robarts: I knew I wanted something

in this area. I didn’t want to live

downtown in a huge highrise. I

wanted something that was still

homey, a smaller building with

hopefully local people who are

buying and investing in the

community. I wanted a balcony

where I could see trees.

NCG: Did you look at many places?

Robarts: I had read some articles

about the developer and this project

in the newspaper and there were

some articles locally. They were very

positive. There were others [projects]

being built, but not on the street that

I wanted.

In some cases, I just didn’t feel they

would be as nicely done and in as

nice a location. There was one that

looked lovely but had amenities that

I won’t use. I do not want to pay for

something I will not use.

NCG: How did you make

your decision?

Robarts: I was here at the Ravine

several times. I looked at phase 1, but

was not ready to make a decision,

even though it was in the back of my

mind that if I would get a condo, this

would be a good place, with a good

developer. The location is a big factor

for me. I bought a two-bedroom, 980-

sq. ft. unit with a balcony that is 140

sq. ft. in Phase 2. There is a drawback;

it will not be ready until 2017.

NCG: What advice would you

give other people looking to buy a

new condo?

Robarts: Look for the location

you want, the size of the building

and unit, the price, but also the

amenities. Decide what you want

and what you’re willing to pay for in

amenities. One place had a dog spa;

I don’t have a dog and didn’t want to

pay for that. I didn’t want a pool or

24-hour security.

NCG: How are you feeling about

the purchase?

Robarts: It’s a big decision, but it’s

exciting. There are times I think ‘what

have I done?’ but that applies for

anything. I’ll miss my garden, but I’ll

do a little on the balcony.

Advice | LEGALLY SPEAKING

By Jayson Schwarz

Talking about ‘capped’ rates


TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD

answer a question posed by one of

our readers that relates to the issue of

mortgages, and how long a “capped”

rate remains in place. Let me begin by

explaining about “capped “ rates.

As a new-home purchaser, it is critical

that you receive a bank pre-approval

of your mortgage in the form of a

written commitment for the money

you will need to buy the property.

The mortgage commitment should

provide, among other things, details

regarding the amount of money, the

length of the loan, the interest rate,

and any special terms. It should also

provide for a very important item –

how long the lender will guarantee

the rate that has been committed

to you.

Let me explain. Let us assume that

on Jan. 1, 2015 you bought a property

with a closing date of Dec. 31, 2016

and your rate commitment or “cap,”

as shown on your commitment, is

for a period of 14 months at 2.25 per

cent. What this means is that as long

as the deal closes on or before the

date that is 14 months from the date

of the commitment, the bank will

honour the rate they have agreed to.

Sometimes deals get delayed past

the time that the “cap” guarantees.

What happens? Simply put, the lender

is no longer legally bound to honour

the rate that was originally o� ered.

In our example, if the rates increased

to 3.5 per cent and the closing was

delayed until June 30, 2016, the

lender would have the option of

telling you that the new rate was

now 3.5 per cent.

There are more issues relating

to this scenario, as you will have to

decide if you still want the mortgage,

and the lender will have to decide if it

would still be prepared to give it

to you. That is correct! Remember,

if rates rise, the money needed to

carry the same amount of mortgage

also rises, so if you were tight on

your fi nancing before the rate

increase, you may no longer qualify

for the mortgage.

The moral of the story is to ensure

that you negotiate a “cap” for as long

a period as possible. Quite often, the

mortgages o� ered by the builders

on-site have built-in extension

protection. Ask for it as part of

your purchase agreement from the

builder or commitment letter from

the lender.

MADISON HOMES AND FIELDGATE

Homes are pleased to announce

that construction on the ZIGG

Condo will start this fall. Unique in

design and contemporary in style,

the ZIGG Condo at 223 St. Clair

Ave. West will bring a fresh vibe to

the traditional aesthetic of the Casa

Loma neighbourhood in Forest Hill.

Kirkor Architects envisioned a design

inspired by an ancient stepped-

terrace pyramid form called ‘ziggurat’,

thus the moniker “ZIGG”. The façade

along St. Clair Ave. will make an

unforgettable impression with its

juxtaposition of light and dark tones,

clean lines and forward design.

With only 11 storeys, featuring 166 suites

including two-storey townhomes, the ZIGG

will have a timeless but refined urban style.

Kitchens will feature integrated appliances, sleek

cabinetry and natural stone countertops. With

efficient layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows and

a private balcony or terrace overlooking the city

in all directions, ZIGG’s suites offer elegance,

quality and sophisticated city living.

From ZIGG’s rooftop terrace, take in the view

of the surrounding Forest Hill under its canopy

of maples and oaks down to the twinkling lights

of the city skyline. Relax and lounge by the

outdoor fireplace and barbeque with friends and

dine alfresco. On the ground floor, enjoy the

convenient amenities of the beautifully appointed

private dining room, kitchen and lounge adjacent

Recently, Toronto Life Magazine

ranked the Casa Loma district

#2 in its annual survey of Top 10

Neighbourhoods, scoring high for

best housing, transit access and local

schools. The ZIGG is ideally located

Churchill Park, a 20-acre city park,

offers wide-open green spaces,

Hill Village, Yonge-St. Clair area and

the Annex. The area is well served by

a dedicated TTC streetcar line and

is within walking distance to either

Yonge or University subway lines,

giving it a high transit score of 84

and bike score of 97.

The ZIGG Condo is your ticket to

owning real estate in one of Toronto’s

most desirable neighbourhoods. Take

advantage of pre-construction pricing

before it’s too late. There are fabulous

OCTOBER BEGAN WITH A BANG ON

the mortgage front last week, as

Meridian, Ontario’s largest credit

union, announced that it is offering

a five-year closed variable rate

mortgage at 1.85 per cent APR.

“Meridian wants to ensure we are

offering our members a full suite of

mortgage products at competitive

rates,” says Bill Whyte, chief member

services officer for Meridian. “This

variable mortgage rate is currently

one of the lowest offers on the

market today.”

Meridian’s mortgage specialists

work closely with members to

keep them well-informed of all the

financial aspects of home ownership,

ensuring their mortgage payments

fit into their overall budget and

financial plan.

However, prospective borrowers

should read the fine print. As like

most discounted mortgage products,

there are conditions, spokesperson

Diane Medeiros told New Condo

Guide. Some are standard to all

mortgage approvals.

» Cannot apply to “blend and extend”

mortgages

» For high-ratio borrowers, you

must qualify at the Bank of Canada

qualifying rate

Trending

A 1.85 per cent mortgage – but read the fine print

» Must be the principal residence (in personal name)

» Applicant must be income-qualifying

» Limited time offer

Are these mortgage products too good to be true?

“Not at all,” Alyssa Richard, founder and CEO of ratehub.

ca told New Condo Guide. “As of Oct. 2, we have four

Toronto mortgage brokers on ratehub.ca offering five-year

closed variable rates of 1.84 per cent, which is lower than

Meridian’s offer.”

Besides reading the fine print, what should homeowners

and buyers look out for when it comes to such discount

mortgages?

“Variable rate mortgages are directly tied to prime

rate, which is currently 2.70 per cent,” Richard says.

“What Meridian is advertising is actually prime minus 0.85.

If prime rate goes up or down, Meridian’s rate will

change in lockstep. Right now, prime is at its lowest

point since 2010.

“Another thing to consider with variable rate mortgages

is you have to qualify at a much higher rate to prove you

can continue to afford your payments if rates go up.

Currently, even though you can get a rate of 1.84 per cent,

you have to qualify for the mortgage as if the rate were

4.64 per cent. On a $500,000 mortgage, you need to

show you can afford a monthly payment of about

$725 more than you’ll actually pay.”

Meridian says it has more than 250,000 members,

including more than 21,000 business members. The

company has $11 billion in assets under management and

delivers a full range of financial services online, by phone,

by mobile and through a network of 71 branches and

seven business centres.

TWO COLOURFUL MURALS AT THE ROYAL YORK RD.

north of Dundas Street West underpass that depict the

history of Humber Valley Village were unveiled Sept. 19 by

StreetARToronto (StART), a program of the Transportation

Services’ Public Realm Section that supports and promotes

street art. The murals were created by Etobicoke resident

and artist, Emilia Jajus. New Condo Guide caught up with

Jajus to fi nd out about the project and the inspiration

behind her work.

NCG: How did you come to being the artist involved in

doing these murals?

Jajus: StreetARToronto has a roster of artists who qualify

for projects of this scale. I was short-listed with two other

artists and competed. Our designs were displayed at

Humbertown Plaza for the public to provide feedback.

Afterwards, the jury made the fi nal decision.

NCG: Do you live in Etobicoke?

Jajus: Yes, I have lived in Etobicoke for over 17 years.

Most of my family and friends live here. Etobicoke is my

home. When I was fi rst married, [my husband] Arek and

I lived within walking distance from the Royal York and

Dundas underpass.

NCG: How did you decide on the themes

of your murals?

Jajus: I conducted extensive research of the area

surrounding the mural site. Living in the community

helped me a lot. I researched online and visited local

landmarks. I learned that the local community appreciated

the historic background of the area. Robert Home Smith

was a fi nancier and visionary who wanted to create “A

Bit of England Far from England”. He was behind the

restoration of the Old Mill, and the bridge next to it, as

well as the style of houses in The Kingsway and Humber

Valley Village. The west wall portrays a collage of Dundas

St. W, Bloor St. and Royal York with important landmarks

such as The Kingsway Theatre, Montgomery’s Inn, James

Gardens park and even Humbertown Plaza … The diversity

in the mural was very well received by the community.

One older lady said she originally came from a small town

in B.C. but she moved to Toronto because she wanted

to see diversity and she was happy to see it refl ected in

the mural.

Trending

Local artist paints history on Etobicoke’s Royal York Road underpass

NCG: How long did it take you to complete

the murals?

Jajus: The work started on June 1 and was completed

before Labour Day weekend. I had three assistants;

Emanuel Ciobanica, De Anne Lamirande and Sara Sader.

NCG: What do you hope the public will

take away when they see your artwork?

Jajus: My objective for this project was “for the

community to see themselves in the mural”. I had many

great experiences with the public while painting the

mural. This is my favourite one: On the east wall, there

is a fi sherman by the Old Mill bridge. Two days after

sketching him, I received an email from a total stranger

who asked me to send him a photo reference. I asked him

what was his concern. He responded that last year he was

fi shing by that bridge and he remembered that someone

took pictures of him. He believed it must have been me

and that I used a photo of him, since the image in the

mural looked just like him. I said I was sorry to disappoint

him, but the model was actually my husband... But I

thanked him for providing evidence that my objective had

been reached!

THERE’S AN OLD RULE IN BUSINESS: WHAT IS NOT IN WRITING

was never said.

Although some agreements may need just a handshake, others

that involve a multitude of variables require a contract so that all the

parties understand what is expected of them. This is particularly true

when you hire professional movers. You’re obviously the “who,” but

we also need to know exactly “what,” “where” and “when” in order

to transport your items to your new place. Within those general

categories, there can be many details, and fi nding out about them on

moving day is counterproductive. Think ahead.

The fi rst thing to do is fi nd a reputable mover. You can check

online with the Better Business Bureau or the Canadian Association

of Movers, and of course, fi nd out who friends and family members

have used. Select a company that has a tried-and-true track record.

Then ask questions, and remember that the movers should be asking

you a lot of questions as well to determine exactly what the move

will entail.

When we meet customers to arrange their move, we need to

know about everything they expect to take so we can prepare as

accurate an estimate as possible.

In many ways, estimating is a science. Computers help, but the

results are only as good as the information we input. Telling us on

moving day that you forgot you want to take the shed in the backyard

can hold things up for hours. It will also add to your costs.

And speaking of costs, we need to know well ahead of time if you

want us to provide the service of packing. Deciding this two days

before the move likely won’t work. In addition, if we have quoted

only on moving and not on packing, a new contract will have to be

drawn up with a higher price. If you do the packing yourself, read the

contract as to whether or how much your items are covered, should

damages occur.

We also have to know whether you have anything other than Point

A to Point B in mind for moving day. If you forgot to tell us that your

dining room set has to be dropped o� somewhere else fi rst, it’s like

the meter running in a taxicab. You will pay more for unexpected

side trips. Plus, unless we know in advance, we may pack the dining

set in an awkward place for unloading partway to your destination.

Again, this will cost you time and money—two things that are

precious commodities on moving day.

It is our responsibility as professional movers to ask the right

questions, but until we develop ESP, we need to rely on you to

Read & Understandyour contract for a successful move


explain what you need from us. A contract

protects you as much as the movers, but only if

you read it, understand it and abide by it.

At Two Men and a Truck Canada, we follow

The Grandma Rule: we treat everyone the

way we would want our grandmothers to be

treated….with dignity, courtesy, respect, honesty

and trust. We all want everything to go smoothly

on moving day — and when we communicate

and work together, it does!

Empire Communities named 2015 Ontario home builder of the year

EMPIRE COMMUNITIES HAS BEEN

awarded the 2015 Ontario Home

Builder of the Year award by the

Ontario Home Builders’ Association

(OHBA) at the 2015 Awards of

Distinction. In addition to the top

honours, the GTA-based builder and

developer’s Eau Du Soleil waterfront

community was awarded Best

Website (builder or renovator) and

Best High or Mid-Rise Project Sales

Brochure (four-plus stories).

“We’re honoured to have been

named the Ontario Home Builder of

the Year by the OHBA,” says Daniel

Guizzetti, co-founder, CEO and

president at Empire Communities.

“This speaks to our commitment of

building inspiring new homes and

neighbourhoods of enduring value.

We have built our reputation on our

core values of caring, optimism and

trust, which can also be seen with

our corporate responsibility initiatives

and exceptional customer-service

experience.”

As one of the top builders of

master-planned communities in the

province, Empire has built more than

10,000 single-family and highrise

homes across Southwestern Ontario

and the GTA over the past 20 years.

The company has received nearly 100

domestic and international awards for

design, marketing and sales excellence.

Empire is also the largest ENERGY

STAR homebuilder in Southwestern

Ontario and one of the only to

offer ENERGY STAR certification as

a standard for all its single family

homes. This commitment to building

energy efficient homes has resulted

in Empire being awarded the Green

Builder of the Year Award from both

the HHHBA and BILD.

Empire employees are active

volunteers throughout the province

and have participated in several

fundraising initiatives, including

Habitat for Humanity; $250,000

sponsorship to Brantford’s Wayne

Gretzky Sports Centre; $33,000

to David Hornell Jr. School for an

outdoor classroom and $40,000

to the Brantford Home Builders’

Association (BHBA) Annual Luncheon.

Empire’s successful Eau Du Soleil

community – also recognized at the

2015 Awards of Distinction – is one

of Toronto’s most iconic waterfront

condominiums. Construction has

already begun on Eau Du Soleil

and has solidified Empire’s strong

commitment to the Humber Bay

Shores community. As one of

Canada’s tallest waterfront condos,

Eau Du Soleil will be comprised

of two luxury towers rising

approximately 700 feet into the sky

connected by a series of cascading

terraces that lead to an extraordinary

40,000 sq. ft. of exquisite amenities.

Advice | CONDO ADVICE

Insurance basicsWhat you need to know

HOW MUCH ATTENTION DO YOU

really pay to the insurance policy

that will protect your property

and contents?

“Most home owners put more

time and effort into researching the

big-screen TV than the policy that

protects what is likely their most

valuable asset and every single

thing in it, from their furniture and

electronics to their dishes and

clothing,” says Pete Karageorgos,

director, Consumer & Industry

Relations, Ontario, Insurance Bureau

of Canada, the national industry

association whose private home, auto

and business insurers represent 90

per cent of Canada’s property and

casualty insurance market.

Before you start looking at

insurance providers, you need to

decide whether you’ll use a broker

(works with multiple insurers), an

agent (represents a single insurer), or

a direct writer (supports one insurer

online or by phone).

“It’s about how you like to shop,”

says Karageorgos. “Do you want to

comparison shop multiple insurers or

have your broker do the work for you?

Will you value the relationship you’ll

develop with a broker? Will having a

history with the broker or agent save

you time?”

Ask family, friends and neighbours if

they’re happy with their insurers, and

research consumer reports, but always

take responsibility and do your own

due diligence.

Most consumers are price-oriented,

but as with most products and services,

you get what you pay for, so once

you’ve got the quotes, be absolutely

sure you’re comparing apples to

apples. To fully understand why one

policy costs $85 or $523.18 less than

another one, you will need to pay

attention to all of the details and fine

print pertaining to coverage, limits,

exclusions and more.

“Ultimately, the homeowner has to

assess the cost against the possible risk,”

says Karageorgos. “It’s highly personal

and everybody is different. Mercedes,

GM, etc… they all make vehicles that

will get you from point A to point B –

consumers decide what meets their

unique needs, preferences and budgets

– insurance is much the same.”

A few key points to consider:

1. Guaranteed replacement cost (what

it would cost to rebuild your home,

taking into account current material

and labour costs, or to replace contents

at today’s prices) or actual cash value

(what you originally paid less the

year-to-year depreciation because

everything from a sofa to flooring

and shingles will decrease in value

over time). Of course, guaranteed

replacement cost is infinitely preferable,

but it costs more.

2. Named perils (which lists the perils

covered, typically fi re, weather, theft)

or an all-risk policy (which lists only

the perils not covered such as war or

nuclear hazards). All-risk is best but

again, the cost is higher.

3. How much is enough? Most

insurers use a formula or industry

calculator, generally tied to square

footage, to determine the cost

to replace a structure, detached

structures (e.g. garage, shed)

and contents. If your home has a

particularly unique envelope (roof,

exterior cladding), an unusual number

of 4K fl at screen TVs or high-end

leather, goose-down stuff ed sofas,

original artwork or jewellery, discuss

it with your representative and be

prepared to pay a higher premium

for more coverage. Be sure the

coverage on the detached structure is

appropriate. Even if your furniture and

contents are low-end to mid-range,

you might be surprised at just how

much it would cost to replace every

single item you own if you crunch the

numbers: sofas, chairs, end tables,

dining tables, mattresses, beds,

duvets, sheets, towels, small and large

appliances, dishes, pots, pans, cutlery

and much more. “Some policies will

cover contents, including jewellery or

art to a certain amount, but beyond

that you may need to involve a

professional appraiser, who will value

and may even photograph the items,”

says Karageorgos. “If you make a

claim, you need to prove ownership

and value.” Insuring for less than the

guaranteed replacement cost may

save you money over the years,

but is it worth the risk of fi nancial ruin

if your home and everything in it

is destroyed?

4. Deductible — $500? $1,000?

More? “A thousand dollars might

not seem like a lot on a $30,000

repair, but for some families, that

might be a lot all at once, so it might

be worth the extra you’d pay annually

to drop the deductible to $500,”

says Karageorgos.

5. Policy exit strategies. If your

circumstances change, for example,

you decide to rent your primary

residence for four months while

travelling or on a work contract,

you can generally change insurance

providers at any time. “If you pay the

full amount rather than installments,

you won’t get 100 per cent of it

back due to administrative charges,

but the bulk of it, which is known as

the short rate, will be reimbursed,”

says Karageorgos.

6. Reassess your policy and provider

annually. If the price to renew has

increased, fi nd out why. Replacement

costs likely rise year over year

as labour and material are more

expensive. If you’ve made changes to

your home or contents, inform your

provider to ensure your coverage

remains adequate.

elegance thanks to a robust Canadian

art collection that delights residents

from the moment they enter the

building.

“We’ve always incorporated

artful accents in our projects, but

we wanted it to make a statement

at Pears,” says Jared Menkes, vice

president, highrise residential

for Menkes. “Not only do residents

want to take pride in their personal

spaces, but also in the shared spaces

of the building.”

Assembled by Grace Zeppilli at GZ

International Inc., who worked closely

with interior designer Alessandro

Munge, the collection includes 19

hand-selected and thoughtfully

arranged sculptures, large-format

photographs, prints, paintings and

mixed-media workings.

To set the tone for the entire

collection, Zeppilli selected a vibrant

17x14 ft. abstract set of prints by

Vancouver photographer Norm

Stelfox to welcome residents to the

grand three-storey lobby, along with

two ornate wooden sculptures by

Saskatchewan artist Rod Mireau that

complement the signature spiral

staircase.

From there, residents and visitors

are met with a series of captivating

abstract, minimalist and graphic

pieces throughout the building’s

corridors and mezzanines that

lead them toward many of Pears’

amenity spaces.

A great deal of thought went

into selecting the private art

collection at Pears on the Avenue,

and no detail was overlooked when

it came to designing the building’s

remarkable architecture and equally

Designed by Page+Steele/IBI Group

Architects, the modernist tower sits

on a three-storey brick-and-glass

podium punctuated by metal and

stone accents, rising 20-storeys at

164 Avenue Road. Pears also includes

five exclusive townhomes.

“From picturesque parks, fabulous

boutiques, trendy art galleries, high-

end shopping, and a host of gourmet

restaurants, residents will truly have

it all,” adds Menkes.

A handful of select suites are still

available at Pears on the Avenue.

By Wayne Karl

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING

IMAGINE A HOUSE OF CARDS – OR A

game of Jenga – where one wrong

move could cause everything to

come crashing down. This is the fear

some have when it comes to foreign

investors in Canadian real estate.

The concern is that foreign buyers–

those who live elsewhere but buy

properties in Canada and rent them

out – are driving up home prices,

particularly in hot markets such as

Vancouver and Toronto. This o� shore

demand is leading to an artifi cial,

unsustainable market, some believe,

which could cause a crash if for any

reason these owners pulled out or

sold their homes en masse.

“People are concerned that foreign

buyers are coming in and buying too

many properties and driving the prices

up,” Ben Myers, senior vice-president,

market research and analytics at

Fortress Real Developments, told

New Condo Guide. “That is the

big concern.”

Canada Mortgage and Housing

Corp. is taking steps to address this

“data gap,” by scheduling meetings

with industry stakeholders and

other measures.

Some of these foreign buyers are

paying cash – given that Canadian

properties are a relative bargain

compared to prices back home

for Chinese buyers, for example.

This means they’re not borrowing

from Canadian banks or requiring

insurance from CMHC, further

contributing to the dearth of data.

Without such transparency, it could

fall on real estate agents and lawyers

to report such transactions.

The problem with this scenario,

points out Don R. Campbell, well

known real estate investor and

author, is that “data without action

or policy is just knowledge.” There is

nothing currently in place preventing

foreigners from purchasing Canadian

real estate.

“I’m a stats guy,” adds Myers.

“I’d love to see the information,

but I think we have a pretty good

idea that residential real estate

sales activity to non-domestic

buyers is pretty isolated to Toronto

and Vancouver. Should Canadian

taxpayers in every other metro

area be on the hook for the cost

of collecting this info?

“If we fi nd out foreign buyers own

1.2 per cent of Canadian residential

dwellings – 3.5 per cent in Toronto

units and 6.1 per cent in Vancouver –

then what? How much will it cost to

take the next steps?

“Even if you had the proper data

and the world’s best econometricians,

you could never know what a home

would have sold for if a foreign

purchaser didn’t buy it,” says Myers.

Campbell says any such data would

be “incredibly inaccurate, given the

many ways in which the ultimate

purchaser can hide who is buying.”

He also points out that The

Personal Information Protection and

Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)

could limit any disclosure. PIPEDA

sets out ground rules for how private

sector organizations may collect, use

or disclose personal information in

the course of commercial activities.

King Blue by Greenland begins construction

INTERNATIONAL SHANGHAI-

based megastructure developer

Greenland Group (Canada) has

begun construction on its King West

development, King Blue by Greenland.

This exciting, mixed-use development

embodies the vibrancy and energy

of the entertainment district by

combining historic and contemporary

elements in a synergistic manner.

The completed project will include

amenities that reflect the vibrant and

sophisticated lifestyle for which King

Street West is known. Modern units

range from 300 – 1,400 s.f. and will

include luxurious interiors complete

with the finest finishes.

During a groundbreaking ceremony

in May, the Greenland Group (Canada)

announced ambitious plans to build

a marquee condo-hotel in Toronto’s

Theatre District, and the first theatre

museum in the country, Theatre

Museum Canada. The completed

King West development will include

Primus Toronto, a 122-room luxury

boutique hotel, 44- and 48-storey

residential highrise towers featuring

views of the skyline and lake, and the

revitalization of the highest heritage

facade ever retained in Canada. The

Westinghouse building is currently

being prepped to ensure it is secure

and safe during construction.

Greenland Group (Canada) president,

Henry Cao says: “Canada has proven to

be a strong real estate market for many

years now and we envision a future

here that allows us to contribute to this

economic prosperity. Not only are we

pleased to launch real estate projects in

Canada, but also to create jobs such as

the opening of a new downtown hotel.

Canada has been very welcoming and

we are pleased to bring our expertise to

this market.”

Primus Toronto will be fully

owned and operated by Greenland

Group (Canada) and will employ

approximately 120 permanent staff.

The Theatre Museum Canada will

aim to become a new centrepiece for

Toronto’s Theatre District, attracting

theatre and culture enthusiasts. Its

mission is to share and preserve

Canada’s rich theatre legacy.

Sales of King Blue by Greenland have

been positive and 80 per cent has been

sold. The project will bring 910 new

residential units ranging from $299,000

to $1 million to the downtown address.

The sales office is located at 175

Bloor street East, Suite 300, north

tower. Hours are Monday to Friday

noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday from

noon to 5 p.m. For more information

visit www.bakersales.info and

www.kingbluebygreenland.ca.

Occupancy is slated for 2018.

MIRRORS IN INTERIOR DESIGN are an important, functional

item that virtually all of us have, and yet we sometimes

manage to overlook the many ways (outside the morning

get-ready routine) they can beautify and visually enlarge

our spaces, often in ways you might not expect. Forget the

flimsy closet doors you may have had in the past, and keep

your mind—and your space—open to mirror finishes with

these eight-plus ideas.

Mirror WallTo do a full wall of mirror the modern way—and avoid any

1970s flashbacks—use oversized mirror tiles (24”x24”) with

a bevelled edge, making the wall itself decorative while

doubling the apparent size of the space. To take the look

up another notch, choose a smokey grey glass to add an

air of moody sophistication.

Use it: to open a tight foyer or hall,

behind the bed (as a striking layer to

a headboard), or to back the TV.

Mirrored NicheRather than a full wall, applying

mirror to a niche (or a partial wall

between awkward bulkheads) can still

have a powerful deepening effect.

Hang art or display an interesting

objet in the space to make it a feature,

while giving the eye the sense that a

whole other room exists on the

other side.

Use it: on an awkwardly broken-up

wall to create a feature.

MIRRORS, MIRRORS ON THE WALL

090-091 Yanic layered mirrors_MC_ME.indd 2 10/6/15 12:09 PM


Inset MirrorWhen retiling a bathroom, double the

eff ect and save money simultaneously

by replacing a large, fl oor-to-ceiling

(or vanity-to-ceiling) area of tile with

inset mirror (rather than applying a

framed mirror over the tile itself). The

look is still perfectly polished without

the bulky frame, and the cost of the

mirror is off set by the material savings

on tile. Just adding a mirror? Go wall-

to-wall for the biggest impact—the

small splurge is worth it.

Yanic Simard is New Condo Guide’s design editor, principal designer of award-winning Toronto Interior Design Group (tidg.ca), and regular guest expert on City’s Cityline.

Check out Yanic’s accessory line, Yanic Simard Selected, by visiting online at ysselected.com

Use it: on any bathroom, big or small,

to get a huge look.

Layered MirrorLove the style of a traditional frame

for your vanity mirror? Try layering a

small ornate mirror (or empty frame)

over the glass surface. A professional

can drill a hole in the existing mirror,

or you can suspend a small frame

from the ceiling on invisible wires

or a decorative chain for an art

gallery appeal.

Use it: over each sink to defi ne

individual stations and add

personality.

Mirrored BacksplashMirrored backsplashes are back in a

big way, and are especially eff ective

in condo kitchens, giving you a sense

of a larger space as you work at a

compact counter. A quality glass will

be easy to wipe clean as well, for a

look that’s both durable and practical.

Use it: as the main backsplash over

the counter, or as a backing to the

major appliances (like the fridge or

oven) as I did in my own kitchen!

Mirrored FurnitureSometimes fi tting in all the essential

furniture (especially storage) can

Other DIY Ideas:

» Use three or four inexpensive full-length mirrors and hang them horizontally over a desk or foyer console for a big look at a fraction of the price of an oversized fl oor mirror.

» Use an elegant mirror as a stylish version of a dry-erase board in your o� ce area or kitchen, making it feel more like home and less like work.

» Anchor a seating area with a decorative mirror over the sofa instead of artwork, and get a sense of depth and a focal point at the same time.

leave a room feeling a little boxed in.

Furniture in a mirror fi nish appears

visually lighter to the point of virtually

disappearing. Try a mirror-faced

nightstand or buff et, or a wardrobe

in a polished metal fi nish for a similar

eff ect in a more industrial look.

Use it: in the bedroom to add drama

without adding a loud colour to keep

you awake at night.

Antiqued MirrorTo add an extra sense of history and

stately sophistication to a sleek new

condo, introduce some antiqued

mirror glass using one of the tips

below. For the DIY expert, a faux

aging eff ect can be applied to mirror

or tiles using glass paints, vinegar, a

splatter brush or sprayer, and a little

eff ort, creating just the right hint

of character and a truly unique

home detail.

Use it: in a powder room or foyer

to add textural richness and a subtle

story.

RANDOMLY TUCKING things away in spots that are

convenient at the moment just won’t do. If things don’t

have designated homes, they never get put away properly,

making them all but impossible to fi nd the next time

they’re needed. Find the right spot for everything that

comes into your home, share the organizational tactics

with your family and stop being a human directory for

everyone and everything in your home.

Organizing your home

Designate a basket or drawer as your household’s “lost

and found” area. Deposit any stray items like bobby pins,

sunglasses, earrings, etc. It’ll soon become the fi rst place

family members look for missing objects.

What did i do with that manual?

Have you added new appliances and electronics to your

home recently? Staple the receipt and warranty to the

instruction manual and tape it to the bottom of the item

so it’s easy to fi nd if you need to refer to it. For portable

items like cell phones and MP3 players, store the manuals

in an accordion fi le by category.

Where’s the remote?

Use Velcro to attach the remote to the side of the

television set when not in use and never waste time

searching for it again. Or, consider purchasing an

electronic remote fi nder that makes a loud, distinctive

sound to help you fi nd it (this also works for keys).

Where are my keys?

Choose a “home” for your keys and get into the habit

of always keeping them in that spot. Hang them on a

designated hook or toss them in a bowl. Leave a copy of

your keys with a trusted neighbour.

Everything needs a home

Whenever you bring a new item into your home,

immediately fi nd a permanent place for it to live. To help

you determine the best spot for it, ask yourself what else

is like it, and where (and how often) will you use it. Store

similar things together, and store items near their place

of use. Items used daily should be placed in the most

accessible areas (within arm’s reach), whereas seldom-

used items can be stored in out-of-the-way spaces.

Keep a label maker handy to label drawers, shelves and

containers so you don’t have to rely on your memory

Organizing your life

Time spent relaxing is not time wasted. Give yourself

permission to enjoy several agenda-free days. Leave your

e-mail and cell phone behind and delight in some of life’s

simple pleasures without interruption. This is especially

crucial if you are self-employed and your boss is a tyrant!

B.streets Condo wins at Toronto Urban Design Awards

LINDVEST‘S RECENTLY COMPLETED

B.streets Condo project has

won another prestigious award

for architecture.

B.streets Condo was recently

recognized at the Toronto Urban

Design Awards (TUDA) in the category

of Private Buildings in Context –

Midrise. Lindvest commissioned Hariri

Pontarini Architects and Cecconi

Simone Interior Design to envision

a building that complemented the

neighbourhood while remaining

architecturally inventive and design

savvy. The Award of Merit at the

Toronto Urban Design Awards

ceremony presented by Jennifer

Keesmaat, chief planner and

executive director at the City of

Toronto, highlights just how well this

goal was realized.

“We are proud that this

distinguished jury, on behalf of

the City of Toronto, awarded our

team effort to design and deliver

this well-loved building that

pushes the envelope of design and

engineering,” says Michoel Klugmann,

vice-president at Lindvest. “We

asked David Pontarini to fashion a

building that had personality and

embraced its surroundings, yet kept a

contemporary look. It’s gratifying

to have been recognized by the

OHBA, BILD and now by TUDA for

how well it shows as a prototype of

great design.”

The TUDA jury praised B.streets

Condo for its charm. “This project

applies the city’s mid-rise guidelines in

a sculptural manner, breaking up the

building’s mass with a series of cut-

outs and with a division in materials

between the dark lower half and the

white upper half,” the TUDA jury said.

“The series of townhouses facing a

rear laneway, too, sets an example for

how to add activity to such spaces.

The jury appreciates the quality and

imagination of the architecture.”

This award joins other B.streets

Condo acknowledgements including:

Project of the Year (highrise) from

BILD 2012; Project of the Year (high-

or midrise) from OHBA 2012; and a

Silver Award for Community of the

Year (Urban) at the NAHB Nationals.

Say hello to Roncesvalles’ trendiest new address: 35 Wabash

ALONG A QUAINT TREE-LINED

residential street, adjacent to a lush

community park in the heart of

one of Toronto’s most sought-after

neighbourhoods, comes a brand

new boutique community by Zinc

Developments that offers unparalleled

small-town living in the big city.

Located in the hip west-end

Roncesvalles Village, the aptly named

35 Wabash is an exclusive four-storey

residence that offers buyers exceptional

location, stunning architecture and

innovative suite designs.

“We saw a rare opportunity to

create a unique residence that

not only enhanced the modern

townhome living experience, but

seamlessly fit into this vibrant area

that offers residents everything

they need – from top-rated public

schools, charming restaurants

and cafes to many beloved parks,”

says Ken Zuckerman, president of

Zinc Developments.

Inspired by the industrial charm of

the area’s history, combined with a

contemporary sensibility, 35 Wabash

will feature 57 two-storey towns and

flats complete with backyard retreats

and rooftop terraces designed by the

award-winning team at RAW Design.

The building boasts signature

architecture that distinguishes

itself from other towns by

offering no below-grade units,

convenient elevator service, modern

condominium amenities and one-of-

a-kind outdoor living spaces. Ground

floor towns will include private

backyard retreats, while sky towns

will include rooftop terraces, both

designed to seamlessly integrate the

outdoors into every suite.

On offer are suites in a variety

of one- two- and three-bedroom

layouts, many with the option of

a den. Purposefully designed to

enhance open-concept living,

corridors and barriers were removed,

while window heights were

increased and glass was incorporated

throughout to allow the maximum

amount of natural light to filter

through the space.

Ranging in size from 650 to a

spacious 1,500 sq. ft., suites at 35

Wabash will be meticulously outfitted

by Toronto’s DesignAgency to

complement the effortlessly cool vibe

of the surrounding neighbourhood.

Incorporating rustic elements like black

framed windows and concrete finished

flooring gives the space a cool historic

edge, while sleek accents of wood and

chrome add an air of modernism.

Kitchens will feature custom-

designed cabinetry, quartz

countertops and islands, designer

glass tile backsplash, an integrated

panel ready fridge and dishwasher,

and exposed shelving that contributes

to the open-concept living space.

Bathrooms will include frameless

glass showers with porcelain tiles,

a sleek vanity with custom mirror

and cabinets along with a ceramic

countertop and integrated sink

finished off by polished chrome

fixtures throughout.

“While we put a lot of thought

into the suite aesthetics. We also

wanted to address a buyer’s need for

functionality in the space as well,”

adds Zuckerman. “Each and every

suite at 35 Wabash has been designed

to maximize the space by introducing

flexible, functional elements.”

From vanity storage, medicine

cabinets and shower niches, to

optional upgrades such as a built-in

desk under the staircase and a built-in

kitchen pantry, every inch of space

can be accounted for and utilized.

Amenities at 35 Wabash will also

include a yoga studio that will open

onto an outdoor Zen garden –

the perfect place to relax after an

afternoon exploring the action on

Roncesvalles Avenue or in nearby

THE TORONTO BEACHES IS AN UBER

popular east end neighbourhood

(o� cially known as The Beach but

long-time residents refer to it as The

Beaches). The area is celebrated for

its swimmable sandy beaches, quaint

specialty shops, great restaurants and

chillaxed atmosphere.

Lifestyle

If you’ve always wanted to live by a

beach in a community surrounded

by modern amenities, look no further

than this east end ‘hood – it could be

your dream neighbourhood scenario.

The Toronto Beaches has a lot to o� er

every demographic, from families and

couples to young urbanites and

empty-nesters. With the beach, cool

shops, great restaurants, cafes and

practical services, this community has

it going on.

Vibe

Think beach town meets city

living. People are drawn to this

neighbourhood because of its laid-

back vibe, family-friendly atmosphere

and walkable amenities. You can ditch

your car for a surfboard and walk to

everything you need!

Meet the Neighbours

Residents are very protective of this

community’s small-town feel, and

many know each other and get

involved. On any given weekend,

you can fi nd the community getting

together for a charity event or street

party of some kind.

In the Area

It’s a coveted area to live, which

ultimately drives up house prices. The

average detached home is more than

$874,922. But, being such a desirable

area, buying real estate here is a very

smart investment.

Planes, Trains & Automobiles

This neighbourhood has everything you

need within walking distance. Streetcars

are a favoured mode of transit, with

the Queen Street 501 providing easy

downtown access. The area is also

well-connected via six bus routes.

The Good, the Bad & the Rest

The main hub along Queen Street East

is always hopping, as a haven for great

shops, restaurants and cafes. The social

centre of Toronto Beaches is Kew

Gardens, which hosts the annual Jazz

Festival and has an amazing kids’ play

park. Several kilometres of boardwalk

allow you to walk the sandy beaches.

Real Estate

The community comes alive in the

summer, and you’ll feel like you’re

holidaying in your own neighbourhood.

But since this area is so popular in

the warmer months, you will have to

contend with throngs of tourists along

the streets and vying for your favourite

patio spot along Queen.

DUNDAS SQUARE GARDENS marked

its status as the fastest-selling

condominium project in Toronto with

a groundbreaking event at its future

location at the corner of Jarvis St. and

Dundas St. E.

Steve Gupta, chairman and

CEO of Easton’s Group and COO

Reetu Gupta, developers of the

condominium project, hosted

dignitaries and leaders of Toronto’s

real estate industry at the event to

launch the two-tower development.

In a testament to its new

neighbours and this new emerging

downtown neighbourhood, Easton’s

Group is donating $1,000 to Ryerson

University for each unit sold at

Dundas Square Gardens, and has

committed to personally top up that

generous donation to $1 million.

The success of Dundas

Square Gardens is based on

its location at the northeast corner

of Dundas and Jarvis, and on its

design, unique to any central city

condominium. Perhaps the most

stunning architectural feature of

the development is the more than

16,000 sq. ft. — a third of an acre

— of five impressive, expansive and

landscaped rooftop gardens and

terraces, all located on different levels

of the project.

The project itself consists of a

47-storey tower on the western

edge of the site, complemented by

a boutique-styled 17-storey tower,

each with its own separate entrances,

but interconnected within the site

through public spaces and generous

amenities. Those amenities include

water features, BBQ areas, lounge

and entertainment areas, outdoor

secluded seating sanctuaries and

paths to walk pets.

Dundas Square Gardens celebrates with groundbreaking

Celebrating the official groundbreaking of Dundas Square Gardens are The Honourable Dipika Damerla, MPP, Mississauga East – Cooksville, and Associate Minister of Health and Long-Term Care; The Gupta Group/Easton’s Group chairman and CEO Steve Gupta and COO Reetu Gupta; Michael Thompson, chair of Toronto’s Economic Development and Cultural Committee, chair of Invest Toronto, a board member of Build Toronto and city councillor representing Ward 37, Scarborough Centre, and Baker Real Estate Incorporated CEO and president, Barbara Lawlor.

Times Group introduces

Uptown Markham condominium community

RISING MAJESTICALLY ABOVE THE

Rouge River Valley, Uptown Markham

is one of Markham’s most prestigious

master-planned condominium

communities. Times Group Corp.

is proud to introduce the newest

phase to the successful Uptown

Markham community — Riverside. A

pair of elegant eight- and 28-storey

residences, Riverside offers residents

a carefree condominium lifestyle

featuring the ultimate in modern luxury.

With its sleek and contemporary

exterior of brick and stone finish, large

luminous windows and beautiful roof

gardens, Riverside will be situated

alongside the community’s expansive

park; the new residence will also act as

a “bridge” connecting the Rouge River

to Highway 7 – a beautifully landscaped

venue for local festivals and municipal

events, outdoor markets, exhibits and

public art.

Ten per cent of the suites at Riverside

are designed with accessibility features

such as barrier-free washrooms to

accommodate people with disabilities

who may be using a wheelchair,

electric scooter or walker.

Offering a vast array of social and

recreational amenities, Riverside is the

first building on Highway 7 to feature

an outdoor swimming pool perched

on the rooftop of the building’s 10th

floor. The expansive pool will feature

a spacious sun deck and landscaped

terrace with BBQs, an indoor

Lounge with a bar and TV screens

and guest suites. Inside, residents

will find a well-equipped fitness

centre, ping pong, billiards and card

rooms, a library/Wi-Fi lounge, and

a spectacular party room complete

with dining area and bar, servery, and

access to a quiet outdoor patio facing

the Rouge River.

Following the principles of

sustainability, environmental

preservation and smart growth, Uptown

Markham is built to the highest energy-

efficient LEED Gold standards. Nearly

50 of the 88-acre site will remain

naturally preserved, featuring natural

and landscaped parkland, bike trails

and the beautiful Rouge River. Through

planned enhancements, residents will

also enjoy the expansion of existing

trails and bike routes.

Other energy conservation

measures include compartmentalized

suites, integrated fan coil units,

BTU meters, hot and cold water meters,

LED lighting, sustainable building

materials, and 21 charging stations

for electric cars.

Times Group’s Uptown Market has

rapidly become the retail destination

in the Markham-Richmond Hill area.

Situated right in the heart of Uptown

Markham in Markham Centre, the

Market features a European-style plaza

that harmoniously blends residential

with retail. Surrounding Riverside is a

wealth of other amenities, including

a myriad of shops and restaurants,

many parks, and top-ranked schools

as well as the new York University

campus located in the heart of the

Markham Centre. York University is

projected to complete about the same

time as Riverside in 2019 and will be a

15-minute walk from Riverside.

Well-connected in every way,

Riverside is in close proximity to the

picturesque Main Street of Unionville

- with direct access to all major traffic

arteries and public transit stations. VIVA,

TTC and GO Trains are all conveniently

close by, with a BRT system coming

soon across Highway 7.

For more than a quarter of a

century, Times Group Corporation has

been constructing premium-quality

residential and commercial properties

throughout the Greater Toronto Area.

With a focus on exceptional quality,

enduring value and green living,

Times Group pioneered sustainable

development standards – a reflection

of the company’s environmental

conscience and commitment.

latest phase of the fabulous Uptown

Markham community, register today at

SQ2: A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY

Stretching 5.6 kilometres, Queen West is a patchwork of urban pathways connecting neighbourhood folk and friends from abroad to a heaping platter of diversity, culture, colour and creativity.

LIVE EN ROUTE

When you need to get around or out-of-town, Queen West offers connection at all corners. From subway stops to the streetcar, travelling afar or a few blocks has never been so convenient.

WEST OF EXPECTATION

It’s along Queen Street West where the fashion-forward can find a pair of vintage Levis, the latest look in espadrille sandals and the perfect lamp for an office den.
