Exercising your Options When are Condo Amenities a Good Investment? If you’ve purchased a fancy gym membership for 2015 and are already finding it hard to stick to your new regime, you may have wasted a lot of cash. But what if your fitness centre was in your building – would you get better value? Amenities in today’s new condo market have reached new heights, with full-size fitness centres, pools, rooftop patios with barbecues, lounges with chef’s kitchens, guest suites and other common-use areas expanding your home beyond its four walls. Developers are selling more than just homes – they’re selling a lifestyle. But amenities don’t come for free – they can add to your purchase price and strata fees. So when is it a good idea to purchase a home with lots of extras and when are you better off sticking with that local fitness centre membership? Hani Lammam with Cressey Development Group advises buyers to purchase homes where there are as many amenities as possible – provided they can afford the asking price and the associated strata fees. “There is a maintenance cost associated with amenities,” he says, “but they can also protect your resale value.” Cressey is currently conducting presales on Beverley in White Rock, which will include a two-storey club featuring a fitness centre, steam room and pools. The development also includes a lounge, guest suite, garden, patio and playground. “It’s difficult to say how much the fitness centre adds to the [purchase] cost of each unit at Beverley,” says Lammam, “but it’s a very small percentage because it is spread out among all the owners. It’s likely less than five per cent. In terms of additional monthly fees, it depends on what’s included. ‘Wet’ amenities, such as hot tubs and pools, can add 15 per cent to your strata fees.” With the price of a high-end annual gym membership running around $1,000, taking that hit to your monthly strata fees can be a good investment,

according to Katie Dunsworth-Reiach, personal finance expert and co-founder of Smart Cookies. Strata fees for larger units run around $5,300 a year, with 15 per cent (about $800) paying for amenities. That’s substantially less than a private club. And with an estimated 60 per cent of annual gym memberships purchased in January going unused by mid-February, Dunsworth-Reiach notes it is also important to consider longterm value. Cressey isn’t alone in offering a wide array of amenities to attract potential buyers. Shato Holdings and Talisman Homes’ Tsawwassen Springs will include a golf course, wellness centre and clubhouse. The developers aim to keep strata fees low by using a pay-as-you-go system for things like green fees and the fitness centre. In downtown Vancouver, the 333unit Tate Downtown by the Bonds Group of Companies will offer residents a concierge, a private theatre, lounge, billiards room, library, yoga and pilates studio and fitness centre.

Ask the Expert: What are the Dangers of Older Homes?

And the owners at Anthem Properties’ Station Square in Burnaby will enjoy almost an acre of elevated private green space along with community garden plots, a Tai Chi area, a fully-equipped gym and yoga studio, steam room and infrared sauna, plus a lounge with a gourmet kitchen and shared electric cars. Empty-nesters downsizing from detached homes to condos can find amenities especially appealing – and cost effective. With a guest suite in your building, there’s no need to spend extra

on a unit with an additional bedroom. Common areas such as lounges and kitchens provide entertainment spaces for larger events, something your new living space may not allow for. “Amenities add to the value of your home and can save you money,” says Dunsworth-Reiach. “Buyers need to determine what these add to the strata fees and compare that to their bottom line.”

KERRISDALE GARDENS IS IN THE HEART OF ONE OF THE CITY’S MOST DISTINGUISHED NEIGHBOURHOODS Real estate in Vancouver’s tony Westside is hard to come by. One of the most exciting and luxurious Boutique Developments to be built in the heart of this prestigious neighbourhood is Kerrisdale Gardens. In one of the best postal codes on Vancouver’s Westside, Kerrisdale Gardens is an exquisite collection of 27 Designer Residences, featuring two bedroom terraced suites and one bedroom, den and flex space condominiums. Behind the Kerrisdale Gardens are the award-winning European-influenced designers from Riesco & Lapres. “For years, Riesco & Lapres has been beautifying the homes of Kerrisdale residents in ways that speak directly to the heart,” says Charan Sidhu of Otezs Project Marketing. “They know the subtleties of what makes a home fit in this stunning neighbourhood.” In addition to its prime location, you couldn’t ask for finer finishes: nine foot

ceilings (10 foot in the penthouses), engineered hardwood flooring, luxurious wool blend carpeting, custom millwork, expansive windows to bring lots of natural light in, European-inspired epicurean kitchens and Zen-inspired bathrooms. The kitchens feature custom designed cabinetry, top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances, including a Fhiaba fully integrated refrigerator, marble countertops with ¾ edge finish and under-the-cabinet puck lighting. “While many people are currently downsizing from their large single family homes to more convenient one-level living, the suites here have been designed with that in mind,” Sidhu says. “We often hear from downsizers that they don’t want to compromise their lifestyle, especially when guests are coming. Inviting people for dinner, family and friends, many condos lack a proper dining area. This feature has been incorporated into many of the

homes without needing to entertain the highest priced or largest unit.” One of its most unique and sought-after features are the gardens on the second floor. This quiet and enchanting private oasis offers incredible outdoor space for the residences that face into this courtyard, of which there are only two left. Truly, this is one of the best outdoor havens you will find in a condominium building. The discriminating people who have already purchased a home in Kerrisdale Gardens have boasted about the access to some of the province’s top schools, both public and private, the walkability of the neighourhood and the penthouses with private garages in the underground. Each homeowner can feel safe knowing the four-storey building offers two levels of secure gated underground parking, plenty of secured storage lockers and ample bike storage. Convenience continues with two elevators for residents to

access their homes. As one of the oldest and most distinguished neighbourhoods in Vancouver you will find plenty of amenities including transit, top rated schools and recreational opportunities, all within easy walking or driving distance. Then there’s high-fashion to patisseries, gourmet cheeses to European décor, including such popular spots as Secret Garden for afternoon tea and neighbourhood favourite, the Red Onion Neighbourhood Grill. These elegant, single-family home inspired residences must be seen to be fully appreciated. The sales centre, located at 2128 West 40th Ave., Vancouver, is open by private appointment only. With only 14 available, these condominiums won’t last. Your brand new home will be move-in ready in Spring 2015. For more information or to view, call 604-559-9848, email at info@kerrisdalegardens.ca or visit www.kerrisdalegardens.ca.
