Prevent water damage to your home this winter According to a recent RBC Insurance survey, 25% of Canadian homeowners have experienced water damage to their home over the past two years. Water seepage/leakage inside their home was the most common cause with basement flooding and roof leaks rounding out the top three.

But depending on your home insurance policy, some of these causes of water damage may be covered, while others may not. The company suggests homeowners: • maintain eaves troughs and downspouts to ensure that leaves and debris are clear for water flow during rain and snowstorms. home.

• ensure that your roof, doors, windows and your basement foundation are properly maintained and seal any cracks to avoid possible seepage or leakage into your home. • have someone check your property if you are going away for more than three days. Drain the plumbing and ensure you maintain proper heating in your home, as well as

insulate any exposed pipes to prevent freezing. • avoid piling snow against your house foundation to reduce the risk of water leakage into your basement. Clearing the snow just three to five feet from your home should reduce any problems.

Safe Riding Tips

1. Be visible - #1 safety issue we see among bicyclists – use front and back lights, and wear light colored or reflective rain gear; invisible bicyclists risk their lives, and scare and infuriate even the most empathetic of car drivers. 2. Learn to look over your left shoulder – helps with looking before leaving the bike lane to turn left, pass another cyclist or avoid a car door; helps with changing lanes; helps with making eye contact with passing motorists. 3. Signal – for lane changes or turns, or stopping suddenly; motorists often are very nervous driving around bicyclists because they don’t know what to expect; make your intentions clear, and they’ll generally give you more space and time to do what you need to do; you aren’t required to signal, however, if you need both hands on your handlebars. 4. Take the lane when necessary – sometimes if a lane is so narrow that passing is dangerous, you may need to take the lane briefly to make that clear to drivers behind you; move over as soon as you can safely and let people stuck behind you pass; if you’re going the speed of traffic, as often happens downtown or on downhills, feel free to take the lane – it is safer and more comfortable. 5. Stay out of the “door zone” – be far enough away from parked cars that if someone opens a door without looking, you don’t have to swerve suddenly. 6. Use extra caution if passing on the right – avoid doing this when there isn’t much room, when people are turning into driveways, or when traveling through an intersection; remember, there is no bike lane so drivers do not know to look for you there. 7. Use good manners – if you make a mistake, give the “my bad” wave; if someone does something nice for you, give a wave of “thanks”; give pedestrians lots of space.

Suburban living with an urban feel

Surrey’s City Centre: the new downtown Surrey’s City Centre is rapidly becoming a booming real estate market, with several developers offering projects in the region. Concord Pacific’s Park Place will soon be joined by Park Avenue, both of which are located just steps away from the King George SkyTrain station and the Central City shopping mall. Park Avenue will be home to the largest amenities in western Canada, according to Project Marketing Manager Peter Udzenija. “Surrey is ready for something this huge,” he says, adding that the entire complex will be the largest urban community of its kind. “We’re pretty happy that it’s all coming together,” Udzenija says. Woodbridge Homes’ The Brookland is also a highlight in the area. Located minutes from

all of the major amenities in City Centre, the one- and two-bedroom homes are full of elegant features and thoughtful details, including stainless-steel appliances, beautiful hand-set tile flooring in the bathrooms and modern touches such as a breakfast bar and dimmable track lighting in the kitchen, so those harsh florescent lights are a thing of the past. Another developer in the area is WestStone Properties with its Ultra project, which will soon hold its grand opening. It is the third phase of WestStone’s master-planned Urban Village community, and joins previous projects Agenda and Element. With 10 unique floorplans to choose from, buyers will have plenty of ways to customize their new homes.

‘Surrey really hasn’t seen this before’

Park Place a new level of class in City Centre by Kerry Vital

Surrey’s City Centre is a real estate hot spot right now, and Concord Pacific is right in the thick of this trend with Park Place, which is offering high-end floorplans and finishings at a much more affordable price. “The plans are well thought-out and fairly flexible,” says Concord Pacific Project Marketing Manager Peter Udzenija. “They really maximize the living and dining spaces.” Buyers have been moving in since the end of November, and Udzenija says they have appreciated the on-site concierge and extra security who were available during the move-in process. “It’s a different level of class,” he says. “Surrey really hasn’t seen this before.” There are 698 suites in the development, spread between two 36-storey concrete high-rise towers with 10 homes per floor. There are a mix of one- and two-bedroom homes, though the one-bedroom homes are now sold out.

“

The amenities are incredible ... They are bigger than anything we’ve ever done,” says Project Marketing Manager Peter Udzenija. Inside, there are a variety of floorplans to choose from, ranging in size from 818 to 1,552 square feet for the twobedroom homes. Aluminium-framed laminate cabinets (in your choice of Wenge or Oak) with frosted glass accent cabinets are standard in every home, and are perfectly complemented by Corian countertops and a mosaic-look porcelain tile backsplash in the kitchen. The look is carried over into the master ensuite, which also include a beautiful soaker tub and a countermounted sink. The main bathrooms are just as elegant, with a large-format ceramic tile shower surround and a drop-in sink.

Every home has an amazing view, with expansive windows and generous open balconies. Depending on the floor and direction, views include mountains, Surrey City Centre and a green belt. However, it is the amenities that are one of the most impressive features of Park Place. “The amenities are incredible,” says Udzenija. “They are bigger than anything we’ve ever done.” The buildings include a large gym with a yoga and Pilates room, theatre, a billiards and game room and two steam rooms. The podium level between the two buildings holds a barbecue area, indoor and outdoor lounge and an event kitchen. However, the most exciting amenity is the bowling alley. “It’s booked from opening to closing every day,” laughs Udzenija. “It was a last-minute addition … we took out some of the commercial (space) to put in the alley.” As Udzenija noted, the bottom floor of each building holds commercial space. No shops have been officially announced, but there are rumours of a popular coffee shop and a large pharmacy. Remaining homes at Park Place start at $290,000. For more information visit www.parkplaceliving.ca or call 604-5839866 to make an appointment to see the suites.

Home construction booming in Surrey’s City Centre ... but that’s not all that’s happening in the area Arts and culture in City Centre A city is nothing without its culture and architecture, and Surrey’s City Centre is no different. Residents and visitors alike will find no shortage of things to do and see. City Centre is just blocks away from the Surrey Art Gallery, which includes a large permanent contemporary art collection. The gallery prides itself on featuring artwork from local, national and international artists, and also hosts lectures, workshops and courses on art. It is the second largest public art gallery in the Lower Mainland, so budding artists of all ages will easily be able to find inspiration. The City Centre Library is located near Surrey’s new City Hall, which is expected to be completed by 2013. The facility includes a cafe, several meeting spaces, a computer learning centre, a teen lounge and gaming room, and more reading materials than you could ever hope to read, in a variety of languages. The library and City Hall will one day be joined by a new performing arts centre and civic centre plaza. The youngest residents of Surrey will also be able to dabble in culture with the opening of an Arts Umbrella location in Concord Pacific’s Park Place development. The arts education centre caters to children and youth ages two to 19, and offers a range of classes, including programs in dance, painting, theatre and photography.

Woodbridge Homes’ The Brookland (top two photos) and Concord Paciﬁc’s Park place (bottom two photos) are truly beautiful examples of City Centre real estate.

Parks and playtime When you just need a break from the daily grind, look no farther than Surrey’s City Centre, with it’s huge variety of recreation and leisure activities right on your doorstep. The opportunities start as soon as you step off the SkyTrain at the Surrey Central station. The North Surrey Recreation Centre includes a skating arena, a weight room, a swimming pool, a physiotherapy clinic and a fitness studio, among other amenities. Close by in Tom Binnie Park, the Chuck Bailey Recreation Centre holds a full-court gym. Plans are currently in place to build an outdoor undercover skate and bike park and a lacrosse and hockey box. The park is also home to a turf field and outdoor basketball courts. There are several golf courses in the Surrey area. The closest is Eaglequest at Coyote Creek, which the city describes as the finest mid-length golf course in the Lower Mainland. Holland Park is right beside Central City shopping centre, and includes art installations, water fountains and trails. It hosts a variety of events all year, including the annual Fusion Festival and Movies under the Stars.

Shopping abounds in City Centre

Martin Knowles photo above, submitted photo below

Concord Paciﬁc’s Park Place is just the ﬁrst phase of a community that will eventually encompass nearly 2,300 homes. Located right in the heart of City Centre, the expansive plaza, below, and stunning architecture are combining to making Park Place an iconic part of the city.

Those in need of retail therapy can rejoice! There are plenty of shopping options available in Surrey’s City Centre area. The largest shopping area is the Central City mall, located on King George Boulevard. With over 130 shops, restaurants and services, Central City truly has something for everyone. With a five-storey inner atrium designed by architect Bing Thom, the mall is not only a destination for shoppers. It has appeared in several movies and TV shows, including I, Robot and Smallville. Guildford Town Centre mall is also just minutes away, with its own selection of shops. The mall is currently undergoing a new expansion that is due to open in 2013. Concord Pacific’s Park Place development will also hold its own array of shops on the ground level. The list is rumoured to include a coffee shop and a pharmacy.
