Autumn is here — and crisp air, colourful leaves and plans for Thanksgiving dinners have emerged.

I’m inspired by this beautiful time of the year, with its rich colour palette and the seasonal fruits and vegetables which signal the end of summer.

Interestingly, the possible relocation of the Ontario Food Terminal (OFT) in Etobicoke, a wholesale market for farmers and vendors selling fruit and produce, was in the news just as we were about to go to press.

If you’re not familiar with the facility, it’s a mammoth operation that sits on 40 acres of land nestled among older homes and new condominium residences at the corner of The Queensway and Park Lawn Road by the lake — it’s the biggest of its kind in Canada; open to wholesalers only and not to the public.

Under review by the Ontario government, news that the OFT will be staying put was announced on the morning of October 8.

Now designated as a Provincially Significant Employment Zone — an identification that protects lands that are critically important both locally and to the province for jobs and economic growth — the fact that employment is estimated to be around 100,000, and that over 5,000 businesses buy produce from the Ontario Food Terminal were among the reasons for the terminal’s classification as a protected employment zone.

“As MPP for Etobicoke-Lakeshore, I know how important the Food Terminal is to our community,” says Christine Hogarth in a press release. “It is part of our past, and this designation will help secure its future and long-term prosperity for decades to come.”

Whether you’re warming up the house with delicious dishes for fall or searching for a home in the location of your dreams, we hope you enjoy this issue, and the beauty that autumn brings.

The victory is the fourth time Tridel has walked away with the title, which demonstrates excellence within their business, industry and community. “It’s with great appreciation of the OHBA and what this award stands for that Tridel accepts this prestigious award,” says Jim Ritchie, Executive Vice-President, Tridel. “When Tridel puts our name on a new community or initiative, it comes with an understanding that we’ve done all we can to deliver above and beyond expectations.”

The Winslow breaks ground at Yonge and Lawrence The Devron Developments team gathered with members of the Lawrence Park community earlier this month to celebrate the beginning of construction for The Winslow.

As one of Toronto’s first garden suburbs, it was the location that inspired the design and development of this intimate collection of 61 spacious residences.

At the groundbreaking, Devron Developments also unveiled a collaboration with the STEPS Initiative, who will oversee the curation and execution of an art installation that will adorn The Winslow’s hoarding throughout construction.

The provincial government is exploring new ways to improve traffic flow by increasing the speed limit from 100 km/h to 110 km/h on a 32-km stretch of the Queen Elizabeth Way (QEW) between St. Catharines and Hamilton as part of a pilot program.

Hamilton-Halton Home Builders’ Association wins OHBA’s local of the year

OH! Towns future residents celebrate

The HHHBA team in Collingwood.

The Hamilton–Halton Home Builders’ Association (HHHBA) received the Local of the Year Award at the Ontario Home Builders’ Association Conference that took place in Collingwood in September. The award is an acknowledgment of the hard work, ground-breaking changes and strategic initiatives put in place over the past year under the leadership of HHHBA CEO Suzanne Mammel and 2019

HHHBA President Nick Carnicelli, which included establishing a Women In Industry Committee to advance the level of support for women of all ages in the building industry. “There are some fantastic opportunities for women in the industry,” says Mammel.

“As one of our pillars, we want to mentor and support women when they choose the industry, and we want people to stay in those roles and succeed.”

Future residents of OH! Towns gathered after the groundbreaking ceremony for a celebratory group shot. Falconcrest Homes and Graywood Developments were joined by Oshawa City councillors John Gray and Jane Hurst to commemorate the start of construction of this soughtafter South Oshawa townhome community, which is located on Phillip Murray Avenue by the lake.

Minto Communities to launch 2 downtown condos Minto Communities is further defining its mark on the downtown Toronto submarket with the pending launch of two more residential condominium projects. The launches will be aimed at addressing historic supply constraints in the core, while catering to two distinct purchasing groups.

Bookending the east and west ends of Adelaide Street West, 123 Portland and The Saint, respectively, offer contrasting takes on downtown urban living.

At 14 storeys and 114 units, 123 Portland brings sophisticated, spacious residences to one of Toronto’s trendiest enclaves.

On the other side of town, The Saint is a slender, 47-storey tower which carves out a new profile in the city’s east core, with residences that are connected to transit, universities, retail and all of the amenities that come with downtown living.

Achieving designs that stand the test of time, and exceed customer expectations, is more about a robust process and experience than individual moments of vision.

dave Wilkes

We’ve all seen them in the newspaper, on websites and in glossy magazines: beautiful renderings and images of building lobbies, amenities or stunning model suites for new condo towers to be built.

Few of us, however, understand the detailed process and work that go into making this a reality.

Dominic De Freitas, principal of the award-winning design firm FIGURE3, filled me in on the elements of inspired design.

Achieving designs that stand the test of time, and exceed customer expectations, is more about a robust process and experience than individual moments of vision. Designers work as part of a cohesive and integrated team with other consultants and architects to deliver a unified product.

The process starts with extensive research that includes a close look at the neighbourhood, the target market and demographics.

a particular design esthetic but rather a design direction.

The next phase is to translate the design direction into options that can then be presented to a builder and/or developer. This phase is about developing big design ideas and concepts that will then help to steer the project in an effort to further refine the ideas.

The final phase of the creative process is ideation: where the results of the previous phases are brought to life in a project’s master plans. In this phase, designs are fully developed for all areas of the development, ensuring the master concept flows throughout all of the spaces in the building — such as in the lobby and other common-use areas, building corridors, across amenities, and in particular in the suites and the spaces within the suites — the kitchens and bathrooms, for instance. Extending the cohesive design into the residential character and feel of public spaces makes them feel like the residents’ own spaces.

Technology has become increasingly important in residential design — especially the ways it integrates into our home lives.

The increased desire for an enhanced lifestyle has led to an increase in services and amenities being incorporated in building concepts and designs. Whether this means including social clubs or programs that offer services like a boutique hotel, these types of features are being incorporated into new buildings that can enhance luxury, convenience and provide a resort-like feel.

Another trend influencing condo design is a desire for more compatible living to accommodate how people

Purposeful lobbies, designed with room for waiting Uber customers, parcel deliveries and social/work spaces, is an example of how design meets this need.

A New Light shines on

Burlington’s success How do you make a great city even better? Take Burlington, for example.

It’s an award-winning community that was noted by MoneySense magazine in 2016 as Canada’s best mid-sized city in which to live.

More recently, Burlington was awarded the No. 1 spot on Maclean’s 2019 list of best communities in Canada. So, with all these accolades going for it, how do you make Burlington even better?

Vince Molinaro, president of one of Burlington’s most accomplished and respected developers offers his suggestion: “Create an all-new spectacular place to live in this spectacular city! That’s how we raise the bar.”

IntroducIng, IllumIna: BurlIngton’s new lIght

And raising the bar is what Molinaro Group is committed to doing, with a track record of success that will soon include their latest development, Illumina.

Illumina heralds a new era of luxury living in Burlington, where the majesty of Lake Ontario and the vibrancy of this enchanting city are at your doorstep.

20 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 12–26, 2019

“

By consistently creating and delivering premium quality projects, like Illumina, we set the standard for intelligent, respectful, and highvalue real estate that enhances the already enviable lifestyle Burlington has to offer.

”

Animated by patterns of light and shadow, Illumina is awash in balconies and terraces, inviting you to survey the charming Downtown West neighbourhood. Here, you’re close to everything you know and love about Burlington; and just far enough away from the rush of downtown to enjoy the quiet retreat you desire.

Its amenities include a richly appointed hotel-inspired lobby, a fully-equipped fitness studio, and a spectacular rooftop party room that opens to a breathtaking outdoor terrace offering panoramic views of the Burlington skyline, the skyway bridge, and the glistening waters of Lake Ontario.

Molinaro Group Vice President, Robert Molinaro, is quick to point out that Illumina’s sleek stature will light up the Burlington skyline, adding to an already picturesque silhouette.

“We’re really proud to be bringing a condominium of Illumina’s stature to Burlington. It’s elegant, understated, and located so that our buyers will get the very best of Burlington right at their doorstep.”

For the molInaro group, BuIldIng a Better BurlIngton Is aBout more than Just condos

Aside from the bricks and mortar, the Molinaro family has contributed to the success of Burlington through charitable efforts and, at every opportunity, speaking as advocates for the city their family has helped build for decades.

“We build relationships here with our buyers first, and certainly with our local trades,” says Managing Director, Sam DiSanto. “Burlington deserves the best, and we bring passion, excitement, and innovation with every project.”

As for Illumina, Sam puts it simply, “It’s really going to light up this great city.” nexthome.ca 21

Creating better developments has always offered the opportunity to build a better future for Burlington.

BurlIngton wIns wIth lIFestyle

From its beautiful lakefront amenities to its thriving downtown sector, Burlington has something to offer for everyone. The sheer beauty of its scenic walking trails and flourishing green spaces rival any community in the GTA, and the nightlife has something to offer whether you’re looking for gourmet dining or a good time.

“Burlington has it all,” says Vince.

“It’s beautiful, family-friendly, and ideally located between Toronto and Niagara Wine Country. With festivals, the lakefront, great

shopping and so many natural attractions all around it, Burlington is hard to beat.” a wInnIng attItude

Connected Urban Living

Another year, another “Toronto Housing is Overvalued” newspaper article. This time the headline was due to Toronto being highlighted in UBS’ Global Real Estate Bubble Risk Index 2019. If you don’t know who UBS is, join the club, they are a Swiss bank (it is not lost on me that they have ‘BS’ in their name).

Typically these international studies look at simplified measures like price-to-rent and price-toincome, but the results are only as good as the data they have, and their fundamental understanding of the market. I spend at least 10 hours a day looking at Toronto housing data, and I couldn’t tell you if Toronto is overvalued or not, so I’m pretty sure a Swiss banker has no idea either.

Resale single-family house prices dropped pretty significantly in the second half of 2017, and there will be another price decline in the future, but be weary of the folks that claim to have predicted it.

There will be people that say, “I told you so, prices don’t go up forever.” They are correct — pricing doesn’t always go up. However, in my search for the other side of the story, I came across an opinion piece in a major newspaper from early 2013. The author of the piece suggests renting for a while because prices are overvalued, and you might be able to buy in at a

Because of those two factors, we can suffer through periods of speculative purchasing behaviour by investors looking to make a quick buck — scarcity leads to speculation, regardless of the asset. These factors can lead to house price volatility, which is extremely scary for firsttime buyers. Unfortunately, it is impossible to time the market, and if you desperately want to own your own home, you’ll have to take some risks. Keep in mind, the higher the year-over-year price growth, the higher the risk (and higher the potential reward).

All this being said, it doesn’t mean we ignore all of the warning signs and negative reports, we just need to understand why the data is moving in a certain direction before we ring the alarm bells on overvaluation. It is important to remember that the amount of land in Toronto is fixed, and the population continues to grow. Therefore, the only way to accommodate more people is to build tall towers. Tall concrete towers are expensive to build, and the price (or rent) per-squarefoot for these suites are much higher than suburban wood-frame housing construction. As Millennials decide they want urban living and reject the back-breaking commuter lifestyle (despite the higher prices per-foot in central, transit-friendly areas), this impacts the historical 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 12–26, 2019

valuation metrics used in these ubiquitous international housing reports.

My advice to anyone looking to buy is, make sure the home is somewhere you can see yourself living for five years or more, ensure that the price is well within your budget, and prepare yourself financially (and mentally) for changes in borrowing costs and house prices. If you can confidently check off all those boxes, you’ll be fine. Do your own research, and ask a lot of questions. Good luck.

WE26: dETachEd hOmEs in thE cITY thErE’s nothing likE it!

Insoho Developments saw the future clearly when it came to planning WE26. This private enclave of strikingly modern four-bedroom homes with full-floor master retreats and back yards would be a signature community anywhere in the city. Insoho chose the Warden and Eglinton area for WE26, knowing that this residential area with easy access to major routes, incredible shopping and greenspaces is slated for greatness once the Eglinton Crosstown LRT arrives in 2021. Once that happens, midtown Toronto will only be 20 minutes away, making WE26 an ideal address just east of the city core.

Purchasers are coming from all over the GTA to claim their new homes. Prices are far less than you’d pay for a comparable four-bedroom, detached home elsewhere in the city, from a million to $1.4 million.

When it comes to shopping, dining and entertainment, you’ll find bigbrand name malls and an exciting array of retailers close to WE26 and along the Golden Mile. Whether you want to meet a friend at Starbucks or go for some sushi or Middle Eastern fare, everything you could want is close by. Head to a local pub with friends for karaoke and games or catch the latest movie at Cineplex Odeon Eglinton Town Centre Cinemas.

TAKinG POSSESSION oF YoUr CONdOMINIUM

BY JACQUeline moneTA, J.D. AnD JAYSon SCHWArZ, ll.m.

JAYSon SCHWArZ

Despite the excitement of getting handed the keys to your new condominium, many new purchasers of new development condominiums are surprised to find out that title to their property may not be transferred at the same time.

New construction condominiums in Ontario have two closings: The interim occupancy closing, and the final closing.

INTERIM OCCUPANCY CLOSING

When you buy a new development condominium, you may be 30 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 12–26, 2019

required to take possession before construction is complete on some of the units or after completion but before registration. This is called interim occupancy and it is governed by the Condominium Act (the “Act”).

As buildings are ready for occupancy, the builder will advise you of your interim occupancy date. Once the interim occupancy date arrives, you must take occupancy. However, it is important to understand that you don’t own the unit until final closing; you are in effect a tenant in your soon-to-be-owned unit.

Ownership can only be transferred if the condominium has been registered on title, which occurs once the majority

of units are occupied. Interim occupancy periods can be a few weeks or a month, or up to years. All is dependent on the completion of construction, and occupancy depends on how quickly construction is complete on all units.

INTERIM OCCUPANCY FEES

During the interim occupancy period, you must pay your builder or seller an interim occupancy fee, whether you move into the unit or not.

The monthly interim occupancy fee is based on: The interest (calculated on a monthly basis) on the unpaid balance of the purchase price at the prescribed …continued on page 34

ThirTy six zorra A new community with top-notch Amenities and an a+ locaTion is coming soon The Queensway area of Etobicoke is becoming one of the most vibrant, convenient and commuterfriendly locations to live in Toronto.

Savvy buyers know they can get more bang for their buck, and that means more square footage for less than something comparable downtown. Plus, its close proximity to the downtown core makes the area popular with every type of purchaser.

A new condominium community from Altree Developments and EllisDon Capital is adding to the 32 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 12–26, 2019

excitement of the area with the fall launch of Thirty Six Zorra.

AmEnITIEs InsIdE And OuT

Located between Kipling and Islington Avenues, just minutes from CF Sherway Gardens, one of the most talked about aspects of this new 36-storey condominium is the indoor and outdoor amenity spaces that are planned.

Indoor amenities include a games room, guest suites, a coworking space, a social club, and a party room with a fully equipped

demo kitchen. There will be a full gym, TV lounge, hobby room and a kids’ space, and a convenient pet wash area.

The outdoor amenities of Thirty Six Zorra are equally vast – a luxurious sunlit pool with loungers and cabanas, several fire pits and barbecue dining areas, and even a pet run area are planned.

A+ LOcATIOn

Thirty Six Zorra offers a prime location. For commuters, catch the direct residents-only

shuttlebus to Kipling subway station from the condo, or take the car and be on the QEW, Hwy. 427 or the Gardiner Expressway in minutes. As the revitalization of The Queensway continues, new shops and establishments, including restaurants, theatres, and vital services such as banks and grocery stores, continue to open. The location is also close to Humber Bay Park, and recreation trails and lakeside walking paths can be found throughout the area.

Set to make its debut in Etobicoke this fall, Thirty Six Zorra – a partnership between Altree Developments and EllisDon Capital – offers a sophisticated, modern architecture. Suite sizes range from 440 to 1,306 sq. ft. Be

sure to register and be among the first to preview the community.

DELAYED OCCUPANCY

Construction can sometimes be unpredictable and this could result in delays in condominium development projects, and you may be unable to move into your unit as expected or close within the time frames set forth in the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (“APS”). Your APS must include a Tarion Addendum that sets out important dates for your agreement, including your occupancy date. These are set out in the statement of critical 34 New Home + Condo Guide | Oct. 12–26, 2019

dates. You need to determine when you are buying whether you are buying with a Firm or a Tentative Closing Date. There are two addendums available from Tarion: READ THEM CAREFULLY, as they set forth exactly what can happen and what delays can accrue if any.

Delays can affect financing, accommodation notices, budget, etc. In this market, you need to be prepared to deal with the results if an extension occurs. If the builder complies with Tarion, you will have no remedy to compensate yourself for the inconvenience or the additional expense. The consequence of these delays can be quite upsetting. I recommend that everyone buying a new home prepare himself or herself when they make the original offer

and continuously thereafter, for extensive delays and that way, you face no surprises.

Remember, most builders want to give you what you contracted for and will work with you to achieve mutual satisfaction. In closing, please use your lawyer to the fullest extent, and remember, only your lawyer can give you legal advice.

Bloor-Yorkville is synonymous WiTH SUCCeSS 55C is synonymous with Bloor-Yorkville Bloor and Yonge has emerged as the true crossroads of Toronto, not only because of it being where the city’s two major subway lines meet, but because of its role as the heart of the city’s premier shopping district, locally known as the Mink Mile. For years, the city’s business and cultural elite have been attracted to this area known for its cuisine, galleries, walking distance to both the University of Toronto and the Royal Ontario Museum, as well as to high-end retail like Holt Renfrew, Chanel, Tiffany and Hermés.

Neighbourhoods like BloorYorkville are the gold standard for a city like Toronto, so it’s no surprise that sales for MOD Development’s new 55 Charles residences have been a huge success. Toronto homebuyers have come to expect a certain standard of luxury and elegance in this neighbourhood, and so they are eager to get a foot in the door at 55C. 55C’s early sales successes are in keeping with its reputation.

Signature buildings like The Massey Tower and FIVE condos at 5 St. Joseph have established MOD Developments as a leader in modern and mindful development.

The designs for the 48-storey tower at 55 Charles will again exceed residents’ needs in bold and unconventional fashion. …continued on page 36 nexthome.ca 35

“The Bloor-Yorkville neighbourhood is a beacon of sophistication and luxury,” says MOD CEO, Gary Switzer. “We knew we had to assemble the very finest of designers and visionaries to meet that same standard.”

MOD hired celebrated architectural team, architectsAlliance, for the project and their vision for 55 Charles is a feat of architectural beauty both inside and out. The articulated tower is an example of minimalist luxury, with a mixture of materials such as stone, stainless steel and glass, providing a welcome addition to both Charles Street and the Bloor-Yorkville skyline. This distinctive architectural aesthetic continues into the lobby, as the double-height ceilings help to highlight the warm blend of wood and stone, highlighted by a fireplace lounge opposite the 24hour concierge.

With award-winning interior design team Cecconi Simone in tow, the designs for 55 Charles’ suites are unparalleled. With a range of unit sizes and layouts

to work with, Cecconi Simone developed unique kitchen layouts that integrate custom millwork with built-in shelving and tables that are elegant and liveable. The typical bathroom has been reinterpreted to include inner sliding doors that create powder rooms when company is over, as well as unique back-lit mirrors, customdesigned sinks and open shelving and drawers.

But it’s not just the architecture and design details at 55C that have inspired initial sales successes.

MOD has planned an amenity package that is meeting the needs of an upscale, demanding lifestyle.

“At 55C, we’ve designed the ideal amenity experience for a sophisticated, experienced homeowner,” says MOD President, Noorez Lalani. “Our initial buyers understood the exclusivity and distinctiveness of the neighbourhood and they require the same measure of conveniences at home. We think of 55C as a collection of the finest details.”

Early buyers are attracted to the over 20,000 square feet of amenity

space promised by 55C. These amenity spaces feature top-tier fitness facilities, lounges, private dining rooms and roof gardens including the 49th floor C-Lounge, a spectacular indoor and outdoor amenity complex with views of the lake and downtown skyline.

It’s no wonder that sales at 55C have been such a success; residents are excited to live in and look out over one of the most winning neighbourhoods in Toronto.

In the meantime, Ontario established the Places to Grow Act, which outlines intensification targets for developers, who responded by building “up” rather than “out.” Nowadays, we have wonderful high-rise towers going in close to transportation nodes and local amenities, and many even include retail and commercial venues on their ground floors.

Then, along the way since I began in the industry, families came into the condo picture.

They appreciate everything I have mentioned thus far, and they want the inherent safety that comes with living in a building with security measures. The concierge provides eyes on the street, which is a continual reminder to passersby that their activities are being observed. In addition, as their children become teens, these young people can hop onto a bus or train to attend activities, rather than mom or dad having to drive them everywhere.

Nowadays with baby boomers retiring at an unprecedented rate, they are once again turning to condos for affordability, luxury and ease of living. Despite their dedication to saving for retirement, their funds will likely not carry them into the future in the way they had hoped. Savvy retirees are

purchasing condos and banking the money they earn from their equity in their low-rise homes.

They can also move from their large houses and not give up luxury or livability, as modern condo suites are so well designed. Another part of the draw is the ability to lock the door, go travelling and trust the concierge to keep an eye on things, accept deliveries, etc. while they are gone. Plus, people of all ages love the beautiful pools, party rooms, theatres, fitness centres, rooftop terraces and other amenities in today’s gorgeous condos.

Yes, things have really come a long way over the years, and I am excited to continue to be part of this evolution revolution. VIVA THE CONDO!

The overwhelming demand of 430 ESSA inspired One Urban to release eight new onebedroom floorplans with larger and well-thought-out living areas.

For more information on available units for purchase, please contact sales@essacondos.ca via email.

One Urban is driven with the foresight to plan and respond directly to the needs of the market.

With full understanding that not everyone is able to buy a home, One Urban is planning the development of two new upscale and trendy rental buildings in the GTA, with 325 units combined. “We see a great need in the rental market space as purpose-built developments only account for a small fraction of the development pipeline, and available rental housing is hard to find,” says Joe Villar, Executive Vice-President and CFO. Bringing their expertise to a modern context, One Urban has raised the standard once again by creating greater accessibility to anyone looking for a home with rental buildings that stand out. For added value to residents, both buildings are conveniently

located on transit lines and will feature diverse amenities including co-working spaces, fitness studios, social rooms and even rooftop terraces. “We’re trying to create a place where people don’t just live, we’re creating a community where people can work and play as well,” says Nick Stillo.

One Urban is also focused on prioritizing sustainability and reducing its carbon footprint by incorporating geothermal technology in its future developments. Geothermal is a renewable energy resource that

uses the earth’s natural energy to generate heat. This technology significantly regulates and reduces hydro and water consumption throughout buildings, resulting in more cost-effective utility expenses for tenants. By actively participating in the fight against climate change, One Urban is introducing a more sustainable way of living, while saving tenants money.

Freehold means permanent and absolute tenure of land or property with freedom of full use and control of the land and buildings on it, subject to any rights of the Crown, local land-use bylaws and any other restrictions in place at the time of purchase.

Adjustable-rate and fixed rate mortgages There are generally two types of conventional mortgages – a fixed-rate and an adjustablerate mortgage. An adjustablerate mortgage means the interest rate can change over the term of the loan. A fixedrated mortgage simply means that the interest rate stays the same through the entire term of the mortgage and is “locked in”.

Assessed value

In addition to the actual price of a home, there are also closing costs, which will typically make up about two to five percent of the purchase price, not including the down payment. Examples of closings costs include the mortgage processing costs, title insurance, and excise tax, and legal fees.

Freehold ownership

This is how much a home is worth according to a public tax assessor who makes this determination in order to figure out how much city or state tax the owner owes.

Closing

Condo ownership

Condominium ownership is real estate that is independently owned and sellable, but the owners of the individual units also collectively own the common areas, amenities and utilities which are managed collectively by the owners as outlined in the Ontario Condominium Act.

Gross debt service ratio The percentage of your gross monthly income that housingrelated payments (mortgage, property taxes and heating) eats up. Depending on your situation, to qualify for a mortgage, your GDSR should be 39 per cent (or less) of your gross monthly income.

Closing refers to the meeting that takes place where the sale of the property is finalized. At the closing, buyers and sellers sign the final documents, and the buyer makes the down payment and pays closing costs. It is advisable to have a lawyer facilitate closing.

Debt to service ratio

Amortization

This process combines the interest and principal together in an established schedule of payment installments, rather than simply paying off interest at the start, which helps build home equity early on.

Closing costs

REAL ESTATE GLOSSARY

This amount shows the ratio of your household’s debt payments to gross household income. Banks look at this when assessing how much money to loan you.
