WHAT’S HAPPENING IN GIBSONS? T

he gentle, historic, tourist town of Gibsons on the Sunshine Coast, popular with summer day-trippers and the retirement set, is about to undergo massive changes, the like of which locals have never seen before. A huge new resort hotel, residential and marina development in the heart of the town is set to be a game-changer – not just for Gibsons but potentially for the whole of the Sunshine Coast. The George in Gibsons, named after the town’s founding father George Gibson, will comprise a 116-room five-star hotel, expansive conference facilities, a massive “destination” health spa, a new boardwalk with new restaurants, a new marina and a 40-unit luxury waterfront condo building. It is expected to be complete in early 2019.

An Economic Catalyst? The development, which is hoping to achieve LEED Gold construction standards, is intended to become a major

economic catalyst for the town. It aims to diversify and stabilize the economy by adding around 150 full-time jobs upon completion, more than 245 man-years of construction employment, $1 millionplus in annual municipal and regional tax revenues, and bring to the town 32,000 visitors each year, which are expected to contribute $7.9 million in tourism spending. Aside from the new resort itself, the development is expected to create vastly increased activity for other Sunshine Coast accommodations, shops and restaurants, as users of the exceptional spa and conference facilities choose to stay and eat elsewhere. The developer is also working on setting up partnerships with educational organizations such as Vancouver Community College, so that its hospitality students can work and learn their trade at the George. Klaus Fuerniss, the Gibsons developer whose background is in the hospitality industry, including stints on the

Vancouver Convention Centre and Expo ’86, and who also owns 10 Tim Horton’s restaurants and Gibsons Marina, is the seemingly tireless man behind the project. Fuerniss purchased the large swathe of underdeveloped waterfront land in the heart of Gibsons, and its marina, many years ago. After more than a decade of public debate and two-and-a-half years in the planning process, the council finally voted to amend current zoning to allow the development to go ahead.

The Private Residences The 40 high-end condominium units, in an Omicron-designed building that matches the hotel’s typical West Coast architectural style, will range from 600 square feet to 2,500 square feet, with some of the most desirable units boating two floors and a private elevator. Feurniss told REW.ca, “Like the rest of the development, the condominiums are designed for comfort, with high-

end finishings and interiors by False Creek Designs. They are intended for people who want to live here year-round. Residents will be able to get 24-hour concierge service, room service and maid service from the hotel and have a club membership to use the spa and conference facilities. It’s a lifestyle development that allows residents to take advantage of the location, the seawalk, the car shares and bike shares, the health and wellness aspects.” Diana Robertson, marketing manager at Placemaker Marketing, told REW.ca, “Sales aren’t open yet, but the price point for the two-bedroom units, on the waterfront and around 900 to 1,000 square feet, will be around $699,000. There will be a few smaller one-bedroom units, around 600 to 700 square feet, but they haven’t been priced yet.” To read the full story, including details of the development’s spa and other facilities, go to REW.ca/News and search for “Gibsons”

HOME INSPECTORS ASSOCIATION CALLS FOR BC GOVERNMENT TO IMPLEMENT 7-DAY COOLING OFF PERIOD TO PROTECT HOME BUYERS. BC home buyers, particularly in the Lower Mainland, risk tens of thousands of dollars by making a “subject free” offer on a home in order to win the “bidding war” and they need protection, according to Home Inspectors Association. The Home Inspectors Association estimates as few as 10% of homes sold in the Lower Mainland are now being inspected prior to sale, down from 75% just 12 months ago. This means that as many as 30,000 homes were sold in the first five months of this year without a professional home inspection. This spiraling trend could cause devastating consequences for thousands of vulnerable home buyers that are unaware of the condition of the property they are purchasing.

Vancouver New Home Prices Continue Year-Long Rise: StatCan ew home prices in Metro Vancouver rose for the 12th consecutive month in May, while Victoria saw the largest monthly new home price increase since May 2007, according to Statistics Canada data released July 14. Prices in both markets increased 1.1 per cent from April, with Toronto-Oshawa the only region in the nation to record larger gains at 1.9 per cent. BC’s provincial new home price index was also up 1.0 per cent from April, behind only Ontario’s 1.4 per cent. BC builders reported market conditions as the primary reason for the increase. Year-over-year, the purchase cost of a new home in the Vancouver Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) rose 5.1 per cent, the largest increase since June 2010, and again second only to TorontoOshawa’s year-over-year increase of 6.4 per cent. Victoria new home prices saw a year-over-year gain of 2.4 per cent, ranking BC’s capital

N

city fifth among the 21 metropolitan areas surveyed across Canada. Across the province, new home prices were up 4.8 per cent yearover-year, putting BC neck-andneck with Ontario, which saw an increase of 4.9 per cent. The two provinces once again well surpassed gains in any of the other provinces or territories, as prices remained unchanged in Nova Scotia and dropped in Saskatchewan, Alberta and PEI. The gains in BC and Ontario led the national index to rise 2.7 per cent over the 12-month period ending in May, the largest year-over-year increase since September 2010. The month-to-month national increase of 0.7 per cent over April was the largest monthly rise since July 2007. Again, the gains were driven largely by increases in

Ontario and BC, as no other provinces saw monthly gains of more than 0.2 per cent, and both PEI and Saskatchewan saw monthly decreases in the new home price index. Changes in new home prices often do not mirror those seen in the resale market, as the price paid for a new home is only measured when the transaction is completed and registered with the Land Registry, rather than when the home is originally purchased off-

plan. Because of long lead times on home construction, new home prices registered today are often those homes sold many months or even years ago – whereas MLS® resale home prices are much more up to date.
