PUBLISHER
GOOD THINGS REALLY DO GROW IN ONTARIO HOMELIFE
Full confession: I knit. Obsessively. Learning the craft as a child at my grandmother’s side, it’s something I have done — on and off — my entire life. High-quality, finely crafted yarns are my passion. Whenever I travel, I look for yarns that are locally produced and dyed as my souvenir. Last summer in Scotland, I bought two yarns that were “grown” on the Isle of Skye, and a recent trip to Vancouver Island landed me with beautiful hand-painted yarn from Sweatermaker Yarns. But what about right here in Southern Ontario? Certainly there must be someone producing yarns from locally grown sheep. After searching the Internet, I found Topsy Farms, and what a find! High quality, great colour choices and well priced. And I get to feel good about supporting local Ontario farmers. Located on Amherst Island near Kingston, Ian and Sally, their family and three farm partners — along with six courageous “guardian dogs” — tend their flock of some 1,000 ewes. Of the 1,400 lambs that are expected to arrive this spring, the females will be kept for their wool and to produce more lambs and most of the males will be destined for the stockyards and private sales, including Toronto. Unfortunately, some of those lambs will need some tender loving care because their mothers can’t take care of them properly — because they are the smallest of triplets or they suffer from other health issues. That’s why for 25 years they’ve nurtured the most vulnerable, inviting the public to come to help bottle-feed and cuddle the tiny lambs from mid May to early June. And this year Sally has introduced the “Adopt a Lamb” program for these vulnerable babies — and that has made me the proud mama of a new lamb, who I have named Murphy. Sally and Ian have invited us adoptive parents to their farm to see the lambs and, of course, to tour their Wool Shed, which is full of their fabulous squishy yarns and rovings, as well as lambskins, blankets, throws, bedding, comforters and pillows, as well as their raw honey. The Wool Shed is open pretty much all the time. “If we are home and awake, we are open,” Sally says. But it’s not just us adoptive parents that are invited to the farm to see the lambs. Sally and Ian invite all visitors to give them a call and set up a time to visit the farm and bottle feed and cuddle with the lambs. And don’t forget to give those courageous dogs a pat, too!

TREB LAUNCHES INAUGURAL REVIEW AND OUTLOOK REPORT
Benjamin Tal of CIBC World Markets addresses a news conference as (counter clockwise from front left) Mark McLean of TREB, Bryan Tuckey of BILD, George Carras of RealNet, John DiMichele of TREB, Sean Simpson of Ipsos Reid, and Jason Mercer of TREB listen.
It was very exciting to have this report released during my presidency, especially since I know what it will do for realtors like myself, and even more so for the consumers and GTA residents who rely on us. The report features never-before-seen results of Ipsos Reid surveys of recent homebuyers and those planning to become homebuyers. For the first time, we have access to data on what people planning on buying a home in the year ahead plan to spend, where they want to live, and what type of mortgage they will take on. The information we glean from these surveys will help us all — consumers, homebuyers, homeowners, realtors and industry stakeholders — to better understand the market. For me, one of the most exciting statistics of all is the percentage of buyers who have used a real estate professional. In another recent survey, Ipsos Reid asked homeowners about their use of a realtor. Historically, for all homeowners who purchased a home before 2015, the realtor usage rate was 65 per cent. In recent years, this share has increased. In 2015, 73 per cent of homebuyers used a realtor. According to Ipsos Reid, 81 per cent of those intending to purchase a home in 2016 say they plan to use the services of a realtor. Knowing this confirms that people understand the value of using a realtor to help them navigate their real estate transaction, one of the largest financial purchases one will make in life. Another key aspect of this report concerns how we can improve
In January, the Toronto Real Estate Board released its inaugural Market Year in Review & Outlook Report.

APRIL 2016 condolifemag.com
our quality of life and economic competitiveness in the region we live. We all know that the GTA and the broader Greater Golden Horseshoe Region are comprised of world-class cities. In my opinion, we should continue to improve our region’s global reputation and competitiveness until we reach alpha status as a top tier global city. We consistently rank as one of the top urban areas to live and do business because of the economic and cultural opportunities the region affords to existing residents, as well as newcomers to the region from across Ontario, Canada and the globe. As our great region continues to attract the best and brightest from around the world, I have every confidence that realtors will use the knowledge they glean from this report to connect the right buyer to the right seller and help newcomers to the region settle into one of our fantastic communities. You can view a copy of the report at TREBhome.com. CL

CONDO MARKET
BUY NOW, BUY NEW Spring is in The barometer is hitting the high teens and the air. it looks like an early end to yet another
unseasonably warm ski season — and 'tis the season to look for your perfect new home. Perfect may be the operative word, with so many great choices available as the developers reveal their new plans and new projects. It’s the optimal time for any current home or condo owner to clean up their home and put it on the market. Resales often offer favourable pricing and upgraded homes. Often, you’ll benefit from the upgrades and optional extras that original homeowners fitted their homes with. So if you’re researching resales, make sure to check out the inclusions and upgrades; they may be a great added benefit to your purchase. Alternatively, if you’re planning your future and buying someting brand new, take advantage of your own opportunity to customize your suite. Treat yourself, add in some sizzle and expect you’ll always benefit from that investment when you resell down the road. Think of that investment as a step towards ‘futureproofing’ your home. You live the way you want, you resell for more; the new buyers benefits. That, to me, is called a WIN, WIN, WIN scenario. Take a good look at some of the inventory in new buildings. Often the builder may have made some choices in order to finish the suites; expect those to be good choices that reflect the demands of the market, and the choices that many purchasers had made there already. But look as well for incentives that are often offered with inventory — opportunities to accessorize the suites, upgrade some of the finishes, and help with closing costs in some cases.These can make those purchases very rewarding. And again, great opportunities to help futureproof your home. Something very noteworthy that I’m noticing in many new condo projects is the return of the larger suite. This is a reflection of the tremendous acceptance of condos as primary homes for downsizers — the classic buying group that condos have historically catered to. Buying new allows one to combine suites, work with the builder and his team and to create something customized to fit your lifestyle. Condos often offer ‘home like’ features, helping make the transition an easier and better one for all.Whereas builders often reserve parts of a building typically for the larger suites, I’m seeing combination suites appearing everywhere. Turn two into one, sometimes three or more. Half floors, whole floors even! These suites have their own intrinsic value and often resell for the highest prices down the road, as there never seems to be enough of them. I’m designing larger combos in locations throughout the

CONDO MANAGEMENT
IT’S TIME TO STOP SWEATING OVER WINDOW CONDENSATION Windows are like While we expect athletes to sweat for all the money they professional athletes. make, we don’t expect — or They sweat. want — the windows in our condominiums to sweat. Yet they do. Window sweat — more accurately referred to as condensation — happens more often than we’d like to see in our condos. Window condensation has, in fact, grown into one of the most common condo problems in Canada during the heating season. Here’s why it happens: As homes are sealed better against air leakage, natural ventilation to the outdoors is reduced. Consequently, indoor air becomes much more likely to contain damaging levels of moisture during winter. If your windows sweat during the heating season to the point where you find yourself needing to wipe them with a towel from time to time, then you have a genuine problem. And it’s not only that the condensation is preventing you from getting a good look at what’s going on outdoors. No, the truth of the matter is that the moisture can ruin window-frame finishes and, worse, can produce mould growth on window sills, which can be a health hazard. Window condensation also can potentially produce decay within wall cavities.
eliminated condensation. Today, with the cracks fortunately gone, there are savings on energy bills, but the increase in window condensation is conspicuous. The key is to find a different way to increase ventilation in the home. The easiest approach is to simply open your windows at least a tad. That will undoubtedly cost you a little more for heating and perhaps even keep you and yours colder and a bit uncomfortable, but it certainly would be an inexpensive, efficient way to reduce or eliminate window condensation. It also would be worthwhile to turn on your exhaust fans on occasion, especially in the bathroom after showering or bathing and in the kitchen after cooking. Installing an exhaust fan in highmoisture areas of your home can help if you continue to encounter minor condensation problems even with your windows opened. Finally, it probably would be worth investing in better windows. The higher the R-value of a window, the better it can handle humidity and prevent condensation from forming. And triple-pane windows are much less likely to form condensation than doublepane windows. So stop the sweat threat in your condos. It’s your home, and you deserve to be chilling in it, not worrying about wet windows. CL
Condo developers have become more and more concerned about window condensation and are trying to pre-empt problems of this nature during their construction periods. Some are circulating videos to help condo owners combat the problem. Here’s one from Tridel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=i2qNRIdLROc&list=PLfwfnoAJW5DqNar9Rimap_os8zAFEIlwG
Here’s what you should know about why condensation happens: When warm, moist indoor air meets the cooler surfaces of windows, condensation develops on the glass. If there are flaws in the vapour barrier of your home, which is unfortunately very common, warm air can seep into internal wall cavities and condensation can form there as well, all of which are hidden breeding grounds for potential mould growth. Cooking, showering and drying clothes can all add moisture into your home’s air. Interestingly enough, condensation was not as much of a problem in Canada years ago, when cracks around windows and doors were more common than they are today. Those old cracks usually

FINANCE
REFINANCING VS. HOME EQUITY LINE OF CREDIT Real estate prices continue to climb in the GTA and many homeowners now find themselves with a sizable amount of equity in their home or condo.
It can be tempting to tap some of that wealth. If you want to use the equity in your home you have two main choices, you can refinance or take out a Home Equity Line of Credit, or HELOC. They’re two very different products that homeowners should carefully consider.
What is a HELOC? A HELOC is a line of credit or a revolving account. It allows you to borrow against your home equity. When you withdraw $100 from your HELOC you’re essentially decreasing your net worth by that amount immediately, as the money is not coming from savings but from the value in your home. Rates can vary, but HELOCs always come with a floating rate, usually prime plus 0.5 percentage points. There are number of pros. A HELOC is a cheap source of readily available cash. It can be used for anything — paying off higher interest debt, buying a car, renovations, investing, education or emergencies. As well, since the payments are interest only, you never have to pay the principal down as you would in a mortgage. Also, unlike a mortgage you pay the balance off at any time without any penalty. But there are some major disadvantages of a HELOC too. Since the interest rate is floating rates can go up, making the money you owe more expensive to manage. Temptation is high as HELOCs

are easily accessed through an ATM. Consolidating debt is a good idea, but if you are using HELOC to do so, always have a plan to get that new lower interest loan paid off. You’re charged interest from the day you withdraw money from your HELOC; there’s no grace period like there is with credit card purchases.
What does it mean to refinance? When you refinance your mortgage you are taking out a lump sum amount from the equity of your home. If you have equity you can refinance at your current rate, or if rates have come down you can refinance at a lower rate, and effectively lower your cost of borrowing at the same time. When you refinance you’re extending your mortgage, so the money is transferred to you as soon as you’re approved and the interest paid is on the entire loan. As it is with any mortgage, the borrower must make interest and principal payments on a schedule. The bonus of refinancing is you often get a lower rate than what you would get with a HELOC, so your cost of borrowing is much less. With refinancing it also keeps you on a schedule so you are less likely to be tempted to take out more than you need. The cons are the money is inflexible. Breaking the terms of your agreement in traditional refinancing are much harsher than if you closed or paid down your HELOC. In both cases you can access up to 80 per cent of the equity in your home, minus any outstanding balance. Regardless of what you decide to do, remember this is equity you built up in your home over a long period of time. Once you’re approved remember you’re borrowing from yourself. CL

CONSUMER PROTECTION
PROTECTING ONTARIO’S NEW CONDO BUYERS As interest in the condo has risen, so too has the price. According to Tarion’s records, in 1976 the median price of a new condo unit in Ontario was $43,000. In 2015, the median price was $326,000. That’s an increase of more than 650 per cent! Thankfully, just as the condo has continued to rise in popularity and price, so have the protections available to buyers. Before a new residential condominium can break ground, the developer is subject to strict registration requirements from Tarion. In addition to ensuring financial and technical competence, Tarion staff meet with these builders before registration is granted to ensure they have an experienced team in place. This includes architects, engineers and lawyers who have previous condominium building experience. As soon as buyers sign an Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS), their deposits are protected in two ways. First, if the project fails to be completed, purchasers’ deposits are protected by trust requirements under the Condominium Act. As an additional measure of protection, Tarion covers condo deposits up to $20,000 per unit. After signing the APS, there is a 10-day cooling off period. This provides buyers with an opportunity to cancel the contract and receive a deposit refund. During this time, I strongly encourage buyers to review their APS with an experienced condominium lawyer. Any and all additional costs, such as gas and hydro connection fees, or government and school board levies, etc., must be included in the APS or disclosure materials. They are often itemized on a single sheet, titled “Schedule B.” Tarion added this schedule in 2012 to provide buyers with a clearer picture of all the additional costs which may be added to the purchase price upon closing. During construction, two kinds of inspections occur. Municipal Building Inspectors make sure these buildings meet the Ontario Building Code at various stages of construction. As an additional consumer protection measure, Tarion requires condo builders to engage an independent professional — such as an architect or engineer — to provide Tarion with ongoing reporting at certain stages of construction. This process was introduced more than 25 years
Since the 1970s, the popularity of the condominium has continued to climb, expanding its appeal across generations from young singles, to families to empty nesters.

ago to help identify the potential cause of defects that become apparent after construction. All Ontario new condo buyers are also entitled to delayed occupancy compensation up to $7,500. This protection came into effect in 2008, and can be claimed if delivery of their unit is delayed beyond the outside occupancy date as specified in their purchase agreement or if the occupancy date was not properly extended by the builder. Once you take possession, there is a warranty on your condo unit and a separate warranty on the Common Elements. Both of these warranties are provided by the builder. They are backed by Tarion. These warranties provide coverage for a wide range of issues, including unauthorized substitutions, defects to the electrical, heating and plumbing systems, issues with water penetration, violations of the Ontario Building Code and major structural defects. After your purchase but before your occupancy, the builder is required to provide you with a Homeowner Information Package. This package explains what is, and is not covered, when to involve Tarion and how to make a claim. Warranty issues or claims relating to the condominium’s Common Elements are managed by the condo’s board of directors. Over the past 40 years, we’ve come a long way in terms of protecting new condo owners, and we continue to increase these protections. In December, the government passed legislation to update the Condominium Act. Among many updates, this bill includes extending Tarion warranty coverage to some condominium conversions. As condominiums continue to be an attractive housing option for a variety of Ontarians, Tarion is committed to making sure the right protections are in place so buyers can purchase these homes with confidence.

IN CONVERSATION WITH
TIM BLEVINS It took an incredible team to create the Net Zero Discovery Home, says the president of Reid’s Heritage Homes, an industry leader in sustainability BY GALE BEEBY
Reid’s Heritage Homes has a history that dates back to 1947, when brothers Melville, George and Albert, along with their partner Bill Lang, began building bungalows in Guelph under the name Reid and Lang.
By the 1970s, Orin (son of George) had created the Reid’s Group, learning the business from his father, starting as a labourer on building sites. In 1978, Orin and his wife Jane started Reid’s Heritage Homes and, to this day, the company is still family owned and operated by a third generation of Reids and their spouses. When Orin passed away suddenly in 2000, it left his son, Scott, and son-in-law, Tim Blevins, with a difficult choice; they could either wind down the company or continue to work together and grow the company. Today, the entire family, including Jane, remains involved in the business. For Blevins, the president of Reid’s Heritage Homes, maintaining the company’s reputation of quality, integrity and forward thinking is one of the motivating factors in creating diverse communities throughout Ontario. In 2014, Reid’s Heritage was chosen to participate in the National Net Zero Demonstration program — in partnership with Natural Resources Canada and Owens Corning — to represent Southwestern Ontario. It was important that the initiative differ
from past Net Zero project houses, which have been typical custom-built homes. The mission for the selected builders was to gear the homes to the lowrise production builder, using products that are readily available on the market today. By definition, a Net Zero Energy home produces as much energy as it uses on an annual basis. Net Zero Energy homes have been around for many years, but have typically been custom built and at a significantly higher cost than a regular house. The challenge of the project was to find ways to build the homes on a larger scale, thereby reducing their price. Reid’s Heritage unveiled their Net Zero Discovery Home in September, 2015, and is now open to the public by appointment. Four Net Zero Energy homes have also recently been released for sale in the Westminster Woods community of Guelph. Condo Life: Reid’s Heritage Homes has a great family story. As you look back to the 1940s and the history of the company, is there one point you think was a watershed moment? Tim Blevins: Not one moment in particular. In 1947, the three brothers and Bill Lang started this company and in 1978 Orin started Reid’s Heritage Homes. It has evolved over a period of time and we have a great team that works very hard at building high quality homes.

CL: What have been the strongest influences in your professional life? Do you have someone you would consider a mentor? TB: Certainly my father and my father-in-law have been my mentors. We’re a very close family and we’re all involved in the company in one way or another. CL: When did Reid’s Heritage decide to make the leap into building energy-efficient homes and Net Zero homes? TB: There wasn’t one specific thing; there was no big leap. It just seemed like the right thing to do. We have always thought we could build better than the Ontario Building Code, and we were quite intrigued about new ways of building and the science behind it. We started with building to the Energy Star standard and in 2008 we moved the bar higher and built a home that was LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Platinum. But that level of construction requires custom work and cannot be mass-produced at this time. CL: Do you think that buyers will see the value in Net Zero homes and start demanding these homes more actively in the market? TB: Yes. In fact, a recent survey by Genworth Canada shows that 72 per cent of millennials consider energy efficiency as one of the most important factors in buying a home. This generation knows that it’s time to get it right. This is a generation that is paying off their mortgages faster and making larger down payments. According to the survey, 57 per cent of these buyers do not take on new debt. They are willing to pay a premium for energy efficiency because they know it’s the right thing to do. They will pay a premium for a healthier lifestyle, for healthier air, and lower gas emissions. They know it makes sense financially and environmentally. We’re not there yet because these homes still can’t be massproduced, but we’re working on it. That is what the Net Zero program is about. And the cost is coming down, too. For instance, the cost of solar panels has dropped, as has LED lighting. Over time, these homes will be more cost effective.
CL: You make some bold statements about the benefits of the Net Zero home. How does Reid’s Heritage make such a statement and why? TB: Since there is less reliance on the power grid, there are significant savings in energy costs all year round, as well as protecting families from future price increases. The home provides a healthier, more comfortable living space with better indoor air quality and stable temperatures. The home is also built with healthier building materials, conserves resources and lowers greenhouse gas emission. The benefits are measurable and have been proven. CL: What are the key building elements for the Net Zero home? TB: The homes are built with air source heat pumps, highefficiency water heaters, triple pane windows, air exchangers, higher insulation in the basement slab, walls and attic, sealing against air leakage, and use solar panels for energy production. The Net Zero Discovery Home is also providing valuable feedback that we are learning from. CL: Reid’s Heritage has a great reputation for not only building quality homes, but for being community builders. How does that align with the business and philanthropic philosophy? TB: We believe in community. It’s a core part of our business and, to that end, we stay involved in the communities where we build. We have a great charitable program that supports many initiatives in those communities, including hospitals. We also give back to charities that have touched us in some way, and for that reason support children’s cancer research and Alzheimer’s programs. What we do is small but it is part of a much larger picture. CL: What has made you proudest? TB: Working with the people who make it happen. These are people who are willing to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. These things don’t just happen — it takes months and years — and our team is dedicated to driving into new frontiers. The Net Zero home was a big mountain to climb and our team did it.

CONDO MARKET
A STUDY IN RECESSION-PROOF REAL ESTATE It’s easy to find these educational facilities; most universities today have pitifully few student accommodations in comparison to their enrolments. Talk about a built-in renter base. This is a significant emerging asset class in Canada. In the US and UK, the markets responding to purposebuilt student housing started to evolve in the early 2000s. A few years ago, we started selling a condo near Toronto’s Ryerson University, which had an enrolment of 30,000 at the time and only 800 student beds. Our buyers educated us on the fact that they could command higher rents than we projected, especially when two students rent a two-bedroom suite. Most Canadian universities’ enrolments are expanding 10 to 12 per cent per year. Whether our economy is strong or weak, students need places to live. In Ottawa, Carleton University has a student population of nearly 28,000 and only 3,600 student beds. You do the math; it’s the perfect example of demand outstripping supply. It’s also the reason why suites are selling quickly at Ashcroft Homes’ Capital Hall Condominiums, located one subway stop from the campus. In the heart of Little Italy, this condo is less than a five minute commute to the heart of the campus. Students can go back and forth during the day easily and quickly, depending on their academic schedule. Ashcroft’s condo has a lot more going for it as well. Surrounded by greenbelt, Capital Hall is the first of two towers that will eventually encompass more than 500 suites. Capital Hall will be 25 storeys in height overlooking downtown Ottawa. Student renters will be able to walk to go shopping, dine out and enjoy nightlife. There are jogging and bike trails rounding out the nearby activities. In addition to an investment promising a lucrative ROI, Capital Hall offers a stress-free opportunity, as the suites are fully furnished. Among the amenities are 24-hour security, closed circuit cameras and on-site housekeeping services to help protect your investment, and a student program manager to help residents juggle their
I never thought I’d say this, but there is a new niche in housing that offers a recession-proof investment: purchasing a condominium suite in a building close to a university sorely lacking in student housing.

personal and academic lives. Ashcroft Homes’ lifestyle approach is called the ‘Envie Brand,’ which caters to the way today’s students live. With suites ranging from studios to two-bedroom plus twobath designs, and prices beginning from $179,900, the possibilities fit a variety of needs. Under their roof, renters will also have a fitness centre, lounge with study areas, a party room, a landscaped courtyard and 4,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor. This is an incredibly convenient place to live, and buyers feel confident with the fact that Ashcroft Homes is one of the most experienced and respected names in homebuilding in Ottawa, having built outstanding singles, townhomes, retirement residences and lifestyle condominiums. The possibilities are exciting for today’s sophisticated real estate investors. Let’s say a suite is $350,000 and will be delivered three years from now. If you put down $70,000, your asset will appreciate before you close. Even if your interest is at 2 per cent, which would be about $7,000 per year, that’s a 10 per cent return on investment. Add to that the possibility of a lease back program, and you can enjoy a 3 to 5 per cent rate on your cash return. Mortgage rates are still low, which is another plus. This kind of investment is steady, stable and risk free, which makes it more appealing than the stock market or mutual funds. Remember Warren Buffet’s two rules of investing: 1. Don’t lose your money, and 2. See rule #1. The most successful investors in the world have defensive strategies. University students will always need housing. Depend on it. CL

Habitat for Humanity Canada partnered with Cossette, Mega Bloks, and the Interior Design Show to build a life-sized home made entirely out of Mega Bloks. As the only national charity that helps provide homeownership to Canadian families, Habitat for Humanity hopes the campaign will raise awareness of the issue of affordable homeownership and drive donations. The campaign included a video, developed by Cossette — a marketing and communications firm — that tells the story of a family’s journey of upheaval, depicting a daughter’s innocent efforts to try and build her own toy brick house for her mom and brother. “When a family is forced to constantly move and live in fear of The Met by Plaza and Berkley Developments relentless uncertainty, children are the ones who are most affected,” added Mark Rodgers, president and CEO of Habitat for Humanity Canada. “Children need a solid foundation to grow, and they need stability.

Homebuilders recognized for building green

EnerQuality announced the 2015 EnerQuality Award winners at a sold-out gala in February. Each year the awards are presented to builders committed to building energy efficient and sustainable homes. The Energy Star for New Homes Builder of the Year Large Volume award was given to Mattamy Homes, Canada’s largest homebuilder, who earned the achievement for the third time. Mattamy Homes was one of the first builders to participate in the Energy Star program, which has become the most successful green building program in Canada. Two Oshawa-based builders walked the green carpet. Midhaven Homes received the Energy Star for New Homes Mid Volume award and Jeffery Homes received the Energy Star for New Homes Small/Custom award. The Minto Group was awarded Ontario Green Builder of the Year for a second year in a row. The award is presented annually to a builder that raises the bar for the rest of the industry through its leadership in improving the environmental, energy efficiency, and overall image of the industry. Reid’s Heritage Homes took home the inaugural Net Zero Builder of the Year award. Reid’s Heritage Homes was also the recipient of the Building Innovation Lowrise award, and the Best Green Marketing Campaign of the Year for their efforts to educate homebuyers. Tridel, the largest builder of condominiums in the Toronto area, was awarded the inaugural award for Building Innovation Midrise and Highrise. The award recognizes technical excellence in energy efficient and green building practices, which is key to achieving more sustainable communities. Andy Goyda of Owens Corning Canada was inducted into the EnerQuality Hall of Fame. The award is presented to an individual who, over the course of their career, has made a lasting impact on energy efficiency and green building in the housing industry. Sonja Winkelmann, director of Net Zero Energy Housing for the Canadian Home Builders’ Association, was recognized as EQ Leader of the Year. “Ontario’s homebuilding industry has a commendable track record of creativity and innovation,” said Corey McBurney, president of EnerQuality. “Energy Star for New Homes is a success story that all Ontarians should be proud of, proving that voluntary, builder-led initiatives work.” EnerQuality.ca

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
NORTH YORK CENTRE BY GALE BEEBY
Living History In the 18th century, Yonge Street was the main route connecting York (now Toronto) to Lake Simcoe. The street was named by the Lieutenant-Governor of Upper Canada (Ontario), John Graves Simcoe, for his friend Sir George Yonge, who was an expert on ancient Roman Roads. Sheppard Avenue is named for Joseph Sheppard I, who acquired 400 acres of land at the northwest corner of Sheppard and Yonge, where his son operated a general store. The site was taken over in 1860 by the Dempsey Hardware Store, which was later moved to Beecroft Avenue and turned into a museum. In its early days, North York was known for its agriculture, but the area boomed with housing development following the Second World War, and in the 1950s and ’60s, it started to become a suburban centre. The Township of North York was originally formed in 1922 and it became the Borough of North York in 1967. Then, on Valentine’s Day in 1979, it became a city, commemorating the special day with the corporate slogan “The City with Heart.” North York became a part of amalgamated Toronto in 1998. From Sheppard north to Steeles Avenue, Yonge is now a commercial strip and a busy arterial road. This corridor grew extensively after the opening of the North York Centre subway station. In the past decade, over 25,000 units of new housing have been built or are under construction along the strip. The area, which goes east to Don Mills Road and west to Bathurst Street, has become a vibrant part of Toronto due to population growth and the many commercial, retail and entertainment venues that have opened.

Housing Options While the area is still mostly suburban in nature, the highrise intensification began when the Yonge subway line extended to Finch Avenue in 1974. (Finch is the sixth busiest subway station, serving over 100,000 people each day). Most of the office, commercial and residential density has been built along Yonge Street from Sheppard Avenue to Finch Avenue and — with the opening of the North York Centre subway stop in 1987 — intensification around the former North York City Hall (now North York City Centre) increased. When the Sheppard subway line travelling east to Don Mills Road opened in 2002, it created another opportunity for intensification, especially at Bayview Avenue and around Fairview Mall. To see a list of the current developments underway, go to CondoLifeMag.com.
Leisure Pursuits The Toronto Centre for the Arts is located on Yonge Street at the North York Centre subway station. It has three theatres and regularly stages

classical and jazz performances, as well as plays. The North York Central Library, the largest full-service public library in Toronto (second to the Toronto Reference Library in square footage), is part of a larger facility including a swimming pool, veterans’ centre and large hotel. The YMCA, located at Sheppard and Bayview, is the largest recreational facility in the neighbourhood.
Parks & Rec Although there is little green space in the core of North York, there are many wonderful parks and gardens just a short drive or TTC jaunt away. The most amazing of these is probably Sunnybrook Park, which features cricket, soccer and rugby pitches, bike trails, cross-country ski trails, hiking trails, dog parks and a horse riding stable. Edwards Gardens, with it’s manicured gardens, is a must-see. Earl Bales Park is at Bathurst and Sheppard and offers many recreational facilities, including a ski and snowboarding hill, cross-country ski trails, a community centre, an amphitheatre and dog parks. The East Don Park is part of a chain of parks that follow the East Don River from Sheppard and Leslie Street north to Steeles. The park has a train of trails that snake through the ravines and green spaces, and in the fall you can find salmon swimming upstream to spawn.
Retail Therapy The area is full of small shops and cafés, but one of the highest-end malls in the city — Bayview Village — resides at Bayview and Sheppard. There you will find fashionable boutiques and cafés, a Restoration Hardware store, O&B Café and Grill and a Pusateri’s Find Food outlet. For those with less cash in their wallet, Fairview Mall is the place to head with over 170 stores and services and direct subway access. Empress Walk, also with direct access to the subway, has a multi-screen Cineplex with an Imax theatre. Empress Walk

Easy Access The area is served well by the TTC, with seven subway stations and a wide range of bus routes taking commuters from North York to downtown in short order. GO Transit has a busy depot at Finch, as does York Region’s Viva service, allowing commuters to move quickly just about anywhere in the GTA. Highway 401 runs through this part of North York, the busiest stretch of the highway with more than 400,000 vehicles using it each day.
Eat Your Heart Out The area is chock-a-block full of restaurants of all varieties and prices. There are two great French eateries in the neighbourhood, Auberge du Pommier by Oliver & Bonacini and Chez Laurent. The Miller Tavern offers up scrumptious fare and an Oyster Lounge. CL

MIDTOWN
ZIGG CONDO
Madison Homes and Fieldgate Homes breaking ground in Toronto’s exclusive Forest Hill An architecturally distinct and intimate condominium will soon start to rise at 223 St. Clair West between Yonge Street and Spadina Road. ZIGG Condo will bring an upscale, contemporary vibe to the traditional landscape of Forest Hill.
The remarkable façade juxtaposes light and dark tones, clean lines and bold shapes that will make an unforgettable impression. Madison Homes and Fieldgate Homes have enlisted Kirkor Architects to design the ZIGG. Kirkor Architects boasts an impressive portfolio of projects in Canada and abroad, which made the news of principal architect Clifford Korman deciding to purchase a unit at ZIGG all the more humbling. “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 your new home clean. Construction on this 11-storey, 166-unit midrise development is well underway. 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 owners who want to be in an established, charming neighbourhood but close to all 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. 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 $400,000s to $1.3M with one-, two- and three-bedroom suites ranging in size from 557 to 1,800 square feet. CL

BAYVIEW VILLAGE
SCALA Location, luxury living and natural beauty unite at Tridel’s newly released suites
Nestled next to acres of lush, natural ravine and parkland in the heart of Toronto’s historic Bayview Village, Tridel’s Scala community offers residents refreshing tranquility in the heart of prime city living.
“This community is a breath of fresh air for buyers searching for something more unique in today’s condo market,” says Jim Ritchie, senior vice president of sales and marketing at Tridel. “Scala’s unparalleled location, unique design and natural features have attracted attention from purchasers since we launched.” Located on Leslie Street, just north of Sheppard Avenue East, Scala’s residents have only to walk out their front door to find a direct path into the ravine — an idyllic breadth of green space and winding pathways to experience and explore. The 18-storey condominium boasts spectacular architecture, distinguished by an exterior of cascading terraces designed by the talented team at Wallman Architects. Offering unparalleled views of the nearby East Don River Parklands, Scala is embellished with stunning natural features that have been woven into the design, the amenities and the landscape. “Luxuriously designed living spaces paired with a one-of-a-kind location makes Scala a unique proposition in the market,” says Ritchie. “It’s rare to be this close to nature and still be in the city.” The market clearly agrees as nearly all of Scala’s Signature Collection suites priced at over $1 million sold within weeks of launching. The strong demand for livable, spacious suites in this location prompted Tridel to redesign 70 suites into 43, more than half of which are new Signature Collection condominiums. Designed with the impeccable features and finishes buyers have come to expect from Tridel, these newly released Signature suites are available in a variety of two- and three-bedroom layouts that range up to an impressive 2,491 square feet. Residences showcase luxurious details such as designer kitchens with extended-height upper cabinets, granite countertops and backsplash, along with Architect Series Kitchen Aid panel ready appliances and built-in cooktop. A marble vanity and undermount soaker tub with marble deck and frameless glass shower adorn the opulent bathrooms. Whether choosing from the Signature Collection or not, all Scala suites feature modern, streamlined designs inspired by the natural
beauty and refinement of the picturesque surroundings. Premium plank wood graces the floors throughout, with porcelain floor tiles in the bathroom, and convenient ensuite front-load washer and dryer. Kitchens feature a choice of granite or quartz countertops with matching backsplash, a built-in glass ceramic cooktop and energy-efficient, stainless steel appliances. Residents will enjoy spending time with friends and family in Scala’s on-site theatre, as well as playing host in the party room with catering kitchen and dining room. This top-tier amenities package also includes a fitness centre with spin, cardio and yoga studio, and an indoor pool with steam rooms, whirlpool and sauna for relaxing and unwinding. Amenities extend to the building’s exterior as well with a gorgeous outdoor sundeck with a lounge, infinity pool, hot tub, cabanas and an area for barbecuing and dining al fresco. For days and nights out, residents will revel in being a part of Bayview Village — a neighbourhood that has everything today’s condo buyers are searching for, from top restaurants, premier shopping and daily urban conveniences, to some of the best schools and parks in the city. Scala is also conveniently located near several TTC transit stations, including Bayview, Bessarion, Leslie and Don Mills stations, and is within minutes of the Oriole GO Station, making access to other neighbourhoods of the city a breeze. Additionally, the Don Valley Parkway and Highway 401 are both conveniently accessible for those looking to get in and out of the city quickly and easily. Adds Ritchie: “Scala is the ideal place to call home for those who are looking for the perfect balance of luxurious home-sized condominium living and modern conveniences, in a one of kind ravine setting.” CL

It’s a boy! It’s a girl! Wait, it’s a pair of pastels that made it to the Pantone 2016 finish line. Heads definitely turned when the colour authority announced its first-time decision ever to pick two colours to define 2016.

It is a leap year so I guess anything is possible. Even still, we can’t help but ask: why the duality? Seeing this anticipated selection acts as both a global reflection and antidote — and these are certainly uncertain times in the world — Pantone says that Rose Quartz and Serenity represent “a mindset of tranquility and inner peace.” And we can all agree in our hurried and stress-filled lives, this is a highly necessary and sought-after state. Together these two shades also serve to blur the gender lines as society moves toward gender equality. I see this pastel duo as a desire to return to a state of innocence, to quiet down the loudness of the world, cut the discord and re-emerge with a more compassionate and peaceful approach. Here’s how you can bring the serenity of a blue sky and the gentleness of rose quartz to your world in 2016.

FOCUS
DOOR FILTER
New condo buildings are built to particular guidelines, and require corridor ventilation, which is designed to pump fresh air into the common corridors. Unfortunately, this air has a way of filtering into your unit as well. Not only is unwanted dust seeping in, but also cooking odours, superfluous light and pests can work their way in through gaps in your entry door. The developer, Andrew Bordin, has a background as a motorsport’s professional, which revolved around optimizing airflow behaviours and aerodynamics in the racing world. It wasn’t much of a stretch for him to create maintenance, manageable spaces and his newest product — world after a long day – pure heaven. Door Filter™. In cooperation with George Brown College’s Centre for Construction and Engineering, and the University of Toronto’s Mechanical and Industrial Engineering Department, studies were conducted to ensure that the product development was of the highest standard and complied with the building code. The Door Filter system is designed to filter air that is forced into your suite through gaps around your door. It also helps to blocks light, sound and smells. You don’t want to entirely obstruct the air as often it’s a source of fresh air, but you do want to control the dust and air born particles from entering your environment. No tools are required for installation. Simply peel and attach the Door Filter to the inside of your door. It’s dense ABS extension is fitted and secured to the bottom of your condo entry door, and is lined with a door sweep. A removable multi-stage filter lasts approximately seven to 11 months, but this can be influenced by the amount of dust and particles that are generated by new building construction. Small openings in the Door Filter unit allow air to pass through the device and the internal filter, which promotes clean airflow into your condominium. The activated carbon filter has the added benefit of absorbing pollen, odours, and VOC’s (Volatile Organic Compounds), as well as pests, noise and light that might transfer from the corridor into your suite. The most effective way to improve your indoor air quality is to eliminate the source of the pollution. The Door Filter is the solution. CL

DESIGN
THE KEY TO
Small Space
DWELLING
BY LINDA MAZUR
So you’re an urbanite who’s happy to forgo square footage in lieu of an amazing location, the rustic charm of a vintage loft or the amazing design elements and great view of your downtown condo.
Now that you are living in your new home, however, you are coming to realize just how small your living space really is. Never fear — just because you have compromised on the square footage doesn’t mean you need to compromise on the design aesthetics or your comfort. As a designer, I believe your home should be a timeless design reflecting both your personality and lifestyle, but it should also be functional — and this is key to small space dwelling! The world of design has adapted over the years to small space dwellers and today we have an abundance of amazingly designed furniture, storage and drapery possibilities that were created with the right scale and function in mind to service the needs of those of us that are space challenged. When designing and shopping for new furnishings or drapery one of the most important things to remember, and something I am always reminding my clients, is to work within your space. By that I mean, if you have a small foot print but high ceilings then thought should be given to designing vertically both for storage maximization and design aesthetics. Vertical space is fantastic as a storage solution, primarily for items you don’t use daily. However, your vertical space is also a design feature that should get attention.

Here are some tips to remember • Edit your belongings. Clutter makes a space look smaller; remember, everything has a place and less can equal more. A few well selected larger items will help define your space. • Consider a monochromatic look to your space with punches of bold colours and large scale pattern. Too many smaller patterns will appear to clutter your space. • Select multi-purpose furniture. Glass is good in smaller spaces too, and definitely keep to a slim-lined sofa with a narrower arm width.
C_Apr16.qxp_CL 2016-03-15 11:05 AM Page 63
Emphasize the height with a great collection of artwork or even your drapery. Many of these smaller spaces have fantastic window features, a huge bonus and not just for the obvious reasons, but for the statement they create. Vast windows let us introduce dramatically designed drapery that not only provides functionality but also makes a statement by adding colour, pattern or by accentuating the height creating the illusion of a larger space. Look to a company like Model Space Design in Toronto to create this type of statement piece in your small space home. When addressing furnishings for a smaller environment scale and functionality will be your key to success. Companies like Structube have a fantastic array of properly designed, multi-functional pieces that will not appear out of place in your smaller home. Sofas or sectionals are modified in size so as to not overwhelm the space, shelving units are shallower and taller, and many pieces can adapt like a coffee table that will extend to a laptop desk. Be creative in the design of your new small space dwelling, invest a bit of time to ensure you buy wisely and your home will have an amazing, funky charm with all the comforts of a larger home. CL
