Invested Interest Ever wondered where the interest on your home deposit goes? To a great cause, as revealed by this Q&A with Jack Wong, CEO of the Real Estate Foundation of BC
S
ince its inception in 1985, the Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC) has dispersed over $69 million in grants to nonprofit and charitable organizations, post-secondary institutions, First Nation groups, and other entities that demonstrate innovation and leadership in the built environment, sustainable food systems and freshwater management. Yet most people have never heard of it. REW.ca chatted with Jack Wong, the foundation’s CEO, about how REFBC works to create a more sustainable future for all British Columbians.
Q: You provided 50 grants totalling well over $4 million in 2014 alone, yet you do no fundraising. Where does the money come from? A: When a property is sold anywhere in BC – whether it’s a condo, house, mall, or a piece of industrial land – the deposit is held in the Realtor’s brokerage trust account until closing. At any given point in time, that could add up to hundreds of millions of dollars just sitting in a bank. People often think Realtors receive the interest on those funds, but that was never the case. Prior to 1985, financial institutions simply kept it – free money for them. Since REFBC was created, that interest comes to the foundation as our only source of income. Q: You typically receive 150-plus grant applications per year. How does REFBC decide which to fund?

REW.CA /NEWS TO READ THESE STORIES AND MUCH MORE REAL ESTATE NEWS AND ADVICE
A: Projects must show leadership in land use stewardship and the ability to change the way people live. They must have longevity, and they must be replicable – meaning a model developed in Vancouver could be used in Prince George or Vancouver Island. There has to be a clear need for the solution so we’re not funding research with no long-term purpose. Our adjudication process is extremely proactive. We don’t just write a cheque if there are enough boxes checked off. We go on the road and talk to the people involved in every project we are considering. It’s the only way to gain a deep understanding of all the issues. Q: What are some recent examples of projects you’ve funded? A: In 2013, we gave a $45,000 grant to Atira Women’s Resource Society. Their vision was to build a three-storey residence for marginalized women in Vancouver’s Downtown Eastside out of discarded shipping containers. Ultimately, Atria House won numerous awards and there are plans for a second, larger residence. But more importantly, when I talked to the women who live there, many were in tears. One told me she would have been dead without this opportunity. Another is our five-year commitment to fund an adjunct professorship at UBC’s Indigenous Community Planning Program. The grant allows graduate students
Spring Market Heats Up Early as Vancouver and Fraser Valley Home Sales Soar
to visit First Nations communities and experience the cultural differences that must be taken into account when planning them. For nonaboriginal students, it’s an eye opener. Q: What is REFBC’s involvement with the Sole Foods Farms beside Concord Pacific’s downtown presentation centre? A: This is an exciting, truly win-win scenario. While the developer is waiting to build on what’s currently a parking lot, the City gives them a break on property tax if they allow Sole Foods to use it for urban agriculture. It is a business enterprise that incorporates commercial farming practices, provides employment and a sense of self-worth to local Downtown Eastside residents, and not only supplies high-end restaurants like Hawkesworth but also donates produce to local meal programs.

KERRISDALE’S NEW LUXURY LIVING CONDO RESIDENCES
W E E K L Y
Kerrisdale has long been one of Vancouver’s most sought-after neighbourhoods to live, work and play in. This tree-lined, quaint enclave has a rich history dating back to 1905. Considered the crème de la crème of neighbourhoods, this is where Boulevard Private Residences found its home. “Kerrisdale is noted as an upscale enclave of Westside Vancouver,” says Lily Korstanje managing director, Magnum Projects. “There is Ivy league cache here because of it’s close proximity to some of Vancouver’s highest rated public and private schools, including Magee, Point Grey, St. George’s, York House, Vancouver College and Little Flower Academy.” Boulevard in Kerrisdale is a boutique-style, four storey building showcasing an exquisite collection of 38 Designer Residences, featuring junior, one, two and three bedroom condominiums. “We are 70 per cent sold and we are releasing the remaining 30 per cent of our homes,” adds Korstanje. “There is still a good mix of all suite types available.
Our junior one bedroom is open style studio with built-in Murphy bed, 150 square foot patio, a parking stall and storage space all for $367,900. For that price, a young couple starting out can actually live in Kerrisdale.” For discerning buyers who are looking for luxury condo living, Boulevard features old world craftsmanship and signature finishes such as: Oak engineered hardwood flooring throughout living space, nine foot ceilings (10’ in the ground level condos), plush wool-blend carpeting in bedrooms and Zen-inspired bathrooms with frameless glass showers. “Our patios range from 150 to 400 square feet of extra living space, making it a perfect extension of your home … where do you get that downtown?,” asks Korstanje. The kitchens are guaranteed to wow even a celebrated chef. Everything you dream of is here: choice of soft-close cabinetry in white high gloss, white oak or natural oak, Caesarstone countertops with a 1½” square edge finish, ceramic tile backsplash, Franke single bowl undermount
These elegant residences must be seen to be fully appreciated. The presentation centre, located at 2126 West 41st (Formerly Ed’s Linen’s), Vancouver, is open daily from noon to 5 p.m. (except Fridays) or by appointment. Occupancy is slated for spring 2016. For more information, call 604-685-5778 or Chinese hotline at 778.889.8898, email info@boulevardkerrisdale.com or visit www.boulevardkerrisdale.com

stainless steel sink with a Hansgrohe polished chrome faucet, pullout spray, and garburator and an Energy Star Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliance package. The private bedrooms are an oasis of luxury with its plush carpeting, large walk-in closets and marble-tiled master ensuite. As one of the most distinguished neighbourhoods in Vancouver, you will find plenty of amenities including transit and recreational opportunities, all within easy walking or driving distance. Boutique shops and cafes, easy access to UBC and transit are just a few of the reasons why you want to own at Boulevard. These gorgeous homes come to you from the highly respected Redekop Group of Companies, a builder with more than 25 years of quality workmanship. “In pre-sale you want a builder you can trust,” says Korstanje, adding they built the upscale Crescent West townhomes in UBC and Kitswest in Kitsilano. “Redekop is renowned as a builder with integrity. Their motto is: ‘We build it; we guarantee it.’”
