BMO POLL: CANADIAN INVESTORS BELIEVE MARKET VOLATILITY WILL CONTINUE IN 2016; MANY REMAIN OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THEIR PORTFOLIOS

report released by BMO Bank of Montreal found that half of Canadians (53 per cent) feel market volatility will remain the same or worsen in 2016. However, almost the same percentage (48 per cent) still expect the value of their portfolio to increase. The report, conducted by Pollara, also revealed that Canadians remain cautious about their investments, with 44 per cent looking for safe solutions and over half (54 per cent) feeling influenced by a volatile market.

“It is prudent for investors to take a cautious approach with their investment portfolios in 2016 given the current state of the market,” noted Paul Taylor, senior vice-president and chief investment officer Asset Allocation, BMO Global Asset Management (Canada).“While investors may feel the need to adjust their investment strategy given volatile markets, a more sound approach is to establish a long-term strategy that is consistent with personal objectives and constraints and is constructed to weather capital markets volatility.” Mr. Taylor added that investors can expect good but not robust opportunities in equities in 2016 based on moderate global economic growth, supportive monetary and fiscal policy, and reasonable equity valuations. To that point, the report revealed that while only one per cent of Canadian investors are taking more risks with their money, investment amounts are not necessarily affected: • A combined 17 per cent of Canadians are investing more or looking for new investment opportunities • Half of Canadians are interested in safer investments, or are exercising extra caution and checking their portfolios more often (50 per cent) “We see that Canadians are still looking to invest despite market changes, but many are unsure how to manage their portfolio better,” said Ryan ffrench, Director, Term Investments, BMO Bank of Montreal.“Considering safer investment vehicles, such as Guaranteed Investment Certificates, can offer a secure and predictable return.” - Canadians are optimistic their investment portfolios will increase, despite perceived market volatility - Canadian investors remain cautious about their investments, consistent with previous years - Moderate global economic growth, supportive monetary and fiscal policy and reasonable equity valuations to support good opportunities in equities in 2016

However, mutual funds still most popular investment type among Canadians • Almost nine-in-10 Canadians have some amount of savings or investments (89 per cent) • Mutual funds are the most popular investment being used by more than half of Canadians (52 per cent), followed by stocks and GICs (39 per cent and 37 per cent respectively) Over half of Canadians seek professional financial advice • Two thirds of Canadian investors turn to professionals at least once a year, with 26 per cent of that same group doing so on at least a quarterly basis “Regular conversations with an advisor can help an investor maintain a sense of confidence and ensure they have realistic expectations about how their investments will perform, particularly in more volatile conditions,”noted Mr. ffrench. “BMO is here to help by bringing clarity to investors and provide them with the knowledge and advice they need to make responsible investment decisions.” The BMO Investment Sentiment Survey was conducted by Pollara between December 18th and 21st, 2015 with an online sample of 1,000 adult Canadians. Data has been weighted using the latest census data to be representative of the Canadian population in terms of age, gender and region. The margin of error for a probability sample size of 1,000 is ± 3.1 per cent, 19 times out of 20. Established in 1817, BMO Financial Group is a highly diversified financial services provider based in North America. BMO provides a broad range of retail banking, wealth management and investment banking products and services to more than 12 million customers and conducts business through three operating groups: Personal and Commercial Banking, Wealth Management and BMO Capital Markets.

OFFICE SPACE CAN OPTIMIZE THE DELIVERY OF NON-PROFITS’ IMPACT, SAYS COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL’S 2016 NOT-FOR-PROFIT OFFICE TRENDS SURVEY

ffice space can be a lever for impact and increased organizational capacity, according to a new Not-for-Profit Office Trends Survey completed by Colliers International’s Not-for-Profit Advisory Group. “Non-profits are perpetually trying to maximize the return on finite resources while delivering on their purpose,”says Matthew Johnson, vice president and co-chair of Colliers International Not-for-Profit Advisory Group.“As a result, they should utilize any advantage possible to increase their impact and capacity. Office space is typically an overlooked resource that may have a direct impact on successfully achieving this objective.” The Colliers International Not-for-Profit Office Trend Report identifies Access, Identity, and Collaboration as the three space factors non-profits need to consider in their pursuit of maximizing capacity and optimizing impact. Out of 11 potential options, Access to public transit was identified as easily the most important factor by 42 per cent of the non-profits surveyed in choosing office space. A five minute walk to public transit was highly preferred and offers a tangible return on investment in both increasing work capacity and attracting and retaining employees. “Identity and the ability to use space to espouse an organization’s identity was not on non-profits radar. Non-profits ranked identity 8th out of a choice of 10 building attributes. “Space promotes your image,”adds Matt Johnson.“Office space plays a critical role in telling the story of a non-profit organization and its cause. Common words used to describe their desired office space were ‘efficient’, ‘modest’, ‘professional’, ‘warm’, ‘inviting’, and ‘welcoming’. These adjectives illustrate the need for non-profits to diligently review if their space is proving their desired first and lasting impression.” The Not-for-Profit Office Trend Report showed that 66 per cent of non-profits desired more collaborative work spaces vs. just 26 per cent desiring an open work area. Collaborative work space can be identified as informal meeting areas and kitchens where employees can easily gather to prompt discussions and exchange ideas. These open, collaborative meeting areas result in functional, flexible and productive space. “Clearly, access, identity and collaboration are three key factors non-profits should consider closely when choosing and redesigning office space,”says Peter Davies, vice president and co-chair of Colliers International Not-for-Profit Advisory Group.

COM_0516.indd 14

“Office space for non-profits is more than just a workplace, it can be a catalyst for impact and promote an organization’s identity and purpose. This can result in a greater ability to foster productivity, promote knowledge transfer, attract and retain employees and most importantly for not-for-profits, enhance access to potential funding in order to enhance their mission.” ABOUT COLLIERS INTERNATIONAL GROUP INC.

Investing 101: The four dimensions of real estate investing

Too many investors think that real estate is a get rich quick scheme where you simply buy low one year and sell high the next.

How can you benefit from appreciation and depreciation?

TIP: Never buy a negative cash flowing property.

The CRA allows you to depreciate the value of your property (not including land value) against the income that it generates. This is also called the Capital Cost Allowance or CCA. This is a write off that

REAL ESTATE’S LONG TERM INVESTMENT STRATEGY CAN BE COMPARED TO THE CHINESE BAMBOO By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty and Appraisal Ltd.

The big question is… “Did the bamboo grow 90 feet in six weeks, or 90 feet in five years?” “The answer is five years, because at any time during that interval, had fertilizing and water not been maintained, the plant would have died.” 8171452_0516

his is my favourite article that I share with my investors at the beginning of every year. This is the foundation of Real Estate Wealth and we have to keep reminding ourselves to be patient and hold for long term. Worth Waiting For… North American investors who are obsessed with the next quarter’s results, in contrast with their Chinese counterparts, might draw a lesson from the example of the Chinese Bamboo. Consider the Chinese Bamboo: first the seed is planted. It is watered. It is fertilized. But the first year nothing happens. The second year it is watered and fertilized again, but nothing happens. The same process is repeated during the third and fourth years; still nothing happens. Yet, it is a true fact that during the fifth year, in a period lasting no more than six weeks, the bamboo grows 90 feet.

Similar to the bamboo, real estate in the long term will increase in value. It may not be right away, but it will in time. Keep taking care of the investment and be patient; in the end you will see tremendous growth. The key is to buy and hold for the long term. History has proven over and over, that Real Estate is a solid investment long term investment. Real Estate is a true hedge against inflation with the potential to bring excess wealth to the Wise Investor. With the continuing increase in immigration and with limited land available, it just reinforces the old saying that you should “buy land because they do not make it any more”.

CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS TO INVEST $111 BILLION IN GROWTH PLANS IN 2016: BDC SURVEY Investment plans of small and medium-sized businesses are stable amid economic uncertainty, focus on growth and productivity

espite a challenging economy, nearly three in four Canadian small and midsized enterprises (SMEs) intend to invest in developing their business in 2016, a new study by the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) has found. Top reasons cited for investing were to fund growth plans (77 per cent of respondents) and to boost productivity or efficiency (75 per cent of respondents). The study also confirms that investing in your business is crucial to improving competitiveness. “While Canadian entrepreneurs are wary about the state of the economy, they appear generally optimistic about the future of their business,” said Pierre Cléroux, chief economist and vice president, Research at BDC.“It is encouraging to see small businesses remain focused on growth and productivity in spite of a challenging economy.” This is the first study of its kind in Canada designed to show what executives of small and medium-sized businesses are planning for investment projects, in terms of both the sums of money they plan to allocate, and the motivations and constraints that are holding them back from investing. The survey of 4,000 entrepreneurs from August to November found several regional bright spots. In British Columbia and the Territories, entrepreneurs plan to invest 14 per cent more than in 2015, while Ontario businesses plan a two per cent investment increase. Struck hard by the slump in the crude oil market, Alberta SMEs are expected to invest 27 per cent less this year. The study also found shoots of optimism in the province, since entrepreneurs there intend to invest $65,000 each in their business, over 50 per cent more than the Canadian median and by far the largest median amount of planned investment when compared to other regions. Additional regional details are available in the BDC survey report.

MAIN HIGHLIGHTS: 76 per cent of Canadian entrepreneurs plan to invest a total of $111 billion in their businesses in 2016, an amount similar to what was invested in 2015. British Columbia and the Territories show the greatest increase in investment intentions (14 per cent), followed by Ontario (two per cent). Albertan entrepreneurs indicated they intend to invest 27 per cent less than in 2015. The situation remains stable in the other parts of Canada. A minority of enterprises (10 per cent) account for threequarters of planned investments. The main factor limiting investment is a lack of confidence in the economy (48 per cent). and the best chance to succeed in international markets,”adds Mr. Cléroux.“We strongly encourage SMEs to step up their investments in the coming months. Also, with the cost of borrowing at an all-time low, the time is ripe.” OTHER FINDINGS FROM THE SURVEY: In terms of value, the largest planned investments were earmarked for commercial real estate projects, with a total of $63 billion allocated for 2016, a five per cent increase from last year. Other common investment projects include computer hardware and software purchases as well as website and e-commerce development.

Taking a Look at Hamilton’s Housing Market for 2016 FACTS AND PREDICTIONS Hamilton

t’s almost unbelievable, but Hamilton has entered its fifth straight month for record sales. On top of that, it’s occurrence being in December is even more noteworthy. December sales are always among the lowest of the year due to both holidays and undesirable weather. However, this year’s sales ranked the highest ever for the month. It’s undeniably an excellent way to start off the year in real estate! However, it’s smart to keep in mind that this hot market will naturally cool down. This means that there may be instances this year in which you discover that prices or sales are “falling”. As we are ultimately bound to see these types of headlines, be wary that they stem from the comparison of Hamilton’s outstanding 2015 year that had higher than normal rates. Nevertheless, we must understand the power of relevance, as the overall market will remain strong. According to TD Bank economists, there will be an 8% decrease with numbers of sales, but the city will be on par with 2014 levels. Think of it as a way to bring us back down to earth!

Overview of Commercial Sales in the city for 2015

New down payment requirements set by the government are another important lesson Hamiltonians need to learn in 2016. Beginning in February, if the house you are buying costs more than $500,000 you’ll obtain a new down payment cost for the mortgage. Weighing in on this financing restructure is Kevin Huynh of Loewen Group Mortgages. His main points include that this tactic will: ›› cool down the hot housing market for long term stability ›› only work as far as the smaller Canadian markets go ›› not affect big metropolitans i.e Toronto and Vancouver already purchasing well above this price point as they have the means and resources to do so ›› provide a slightly bigger safety net when faced with potential market fluctuations “ Those in smaller Canadian markets, for example, in the Hamilton/Burlington/ Grimsby region have an average house sold for $426k (Canadian Census Market Area 2015). The average home buyer in this region would not be affected by this new rule change and those looking to purchase above the $500k price point may be inclined to seek a lesser value property, thus slightly slowing down the market for higher value listings.” - Kevin Huynh, mortgage specialist

TREB REPORTS Q4 CONDO MARKET STATS FOR 2015

oronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean announced that Greater Toronto Area Realtors reported 5,595 condominium apartment sales through TREB’s MLS System during the fourth quarter of 2015. This result was up by 12.6 per cent compared to the same period in 2014. Over the same period of time, the number of new condominium apartment listings entered into TREB’s MLS System was also up, but by a substantially lower annual rate compared to sales, at 3.3 per cent. The result was tighter market conditions compared to a year earlier.

Apartment Benchmark Price was up by between four and six per cent on an annual basis. “First-time buyers account for approximately half of all buyers in the GTA and even more so in the City of Toronto. Condominium apartments represent an important entry point into home ownership for a lot of households. This is a key reason why we experienced continued growth in sales for this home type over the past year,”said Jason Mercer, TREB’s Director of Market Analysis.

“The condominium apartment segment is integral to the overall housing market in the Greater Toronto Area. Over the past decade, the trend has been to increasingly build up due to provincial land use policies. As new projects have completed, a number of investor-held units have been listed for sale on TREB’s MLS System. These units have been absorbed quite rapidly, with enough demand relative to supply to prompt continued price growth,”said Mr. McLean.

How to Start a Preventive Maintenance Program by Emma Finch, FacilityDude

The question of how to start a preventive maintenance (PM) program is extremely common, and for good reason. With budgets tight and workers stretched thin, PM has become a nice-to-have instead of a must-have for many organizations. Many operations and maintenance crews find themselves operating in a reactive environment, never knowing what major equipment failure will occur next.

pacity, are caught early.

Best practices suggest that 30 per cent of all work should be preventive and 90 per cent of work orders should be generated by PM inspections. Sounds good, but again, how does a team move from little to no proactive work to spending nearly a third of its time on proactive work?

A crew may not be prepared for a call when it comes in, or the crew may have to stop work on something that’s more important in the long term but less so in the immediate moment. Think about travel time, too, because that’s one of the biggest drawbacks of a highly reactive work environment: the amount of time spent traveling from one unexpected job to another can end up being significant.

First off, be assured that increasing the overall percentage of preventive maintenance is an achievable target for any operations and maintenance team. The key is to transition from short-term fixes to longterm improvements in small increments. Greater Toronto Area

Start by focusing on one mission-critical system, such as the HVAC. Set up maintenance schedules based on manufacturer guidelines and warranty conditions. As a bonus, cleaning and inspecting HVAC equipment’s various parts can reduce the energy costs associated with the system by up to 50 per cent. Once routine maintenance schedules are established for one system, move on to another critical system, such as the roof. Again, set up maintenance schedules, documenting current conditions for future reference. An effective PM program can extend the life of a roof system by years and ensures that, as the roof reaches the end of its life, it can be replaced as a scheduled event rather than in an emergency situation. Creating schedules for these two systems alone can usually move a workload close to 20 per cent proactive maintenance. Continue on in this way to build PM schedules for all systems. Concentrating on one system at a time builds a PM program at a comfortable speed, which allows the team to get used to a certain level of scheduled work before more is introduced. As PM schedules are established for each system, reactive work will start to decline as problems that may have cropped up later, in a bigger ca-

Another consideration for a PM program is whether a maintenance crew can be dedicated solely to emergency work while the rest of the crews spend their time on proactive activities. It’s common for all technicians to be available to handle reactive work. While that can be a suitable approach, it can also lead to confusion.

If the maintenance team isn’t big enough to devote multiple people to reactive work, then think about designating one person as the go-to reactive worker so that everyone else can continue on with preventive activities. Team members can take turns serving as the go-to reactive worker so that everyone builds experience with both reactive and proactive maintenance work. The result is a stable schedule for team members doing PM that leaves team members available to respond to situations that require immediate attention. So, how do you implement a preventive maintenance program? One system at a time. It’s a process that starts with small steps and requires consistency and patience. Consider this: studies indicate that 70 to 85 per cent of equipment failures are self-induced, meaning their cause can be traced back to improper maintenance practices. The benefits of performing regular preventive maintenance so far outweigh the consequences of not doing it that, for an organization to ensure optimal equipment life at minimal cost, it’s absolutely a musthave. A full PM program is not beyond the reach of any team. The sooner the process is started, the sooner its benefits can be realized.

MORGUARD - 2016 REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRENDS TO WATCH IN CANADA

orguard predicts a fifth consecutive year of positive results for Canada’s commercial property sector in 2016. Investors will continue to achieve attractive portfolio returns, finishing the year close to or slightly below 2015. Solid performance is forecast based on generally positive rental market leasing characteristics in the Canadian property sector, against a backdrop of elevated global economic risk.

“The generally positive 2016 Canadian commercial real estate sector includes a measure of risk,”said Keith Reading, director of research at Morguard.“Investors will exercise caution in acquiring riskier assets over the near term, given an environment of sluggish global economic growth and uncertainty, a low Canadian dollar, and a persistent oil slump.” As predicted, the ongoing oil sector malaise continues to dampen economic performance, resulting in a mixed growth trend. In the first six months of 2015, a short-lived recession unfolded. However, early predications showed Canada’s economic growth trend improved in the third quarter of 2015, with annualized growth of 2.1 per cent forecast for 2016 by the Conference Board of Canada (CBOC). Regionally, expansion rates varied widely, with Alberta falling into recession and Vancouver and Toronto posting healthy gains. Canadian income producing commercial property transaction volume is expected to trend close to the long-term average annual total of $21.1 billion CDN in 2016, slightly below the 2015 total. Access to low-cost debt and equity capital will continue to attract investment in a sector with stable yields and income. The highest quality and lowest risk properties will be highly sought after by a range of investor types, including: private capital, pension funds, institutions and publicly-traded entities. This will fuel demand beyond the current supply of existing income producing assets and hold values at peak levels in Canada, forcing investors to look to joint ventures, unique investment vehicles, and new developments to build portfolios. HIGHLIGHTS - 2016 REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRENDS TO WATCH IN CANADA • Canada’s commercial property sector continues to generate attractive investment returns, as evidenced by the MSCI Index total average return of 7.1 per cent for the 12-month period ending September 30, 2015. • On average, returns will be largely income-driven over the near term, while property values remain stable. • Investment demand will outpace the supply of properties for sale, with this capital pressure supporting property values that

COM_0516.indd 42

will continue to hover near the cycle peak. • Lenders will actively compete to provide low-cost debt capital to proven investors, operators, and developers of commercial property in 2016. • As predicted, Alberta’s reign as one of the nation’s economic growth leaders came to an abrupt end recently, a performance that will likely be repeated in 2016 unless oil prices recover more quickly than anticipated. • New supply risk will be an ongoing issue in Canada’s office sector, with over 17.0 million SF of new construction scheduled for completion over the next four to five years. • During the next few years, a number of owners of aging office buildings will be forced to contend with elevated vacancy levels in their portfolios, given a tepid demand pattern and the relocation of some tenants to newly constructed towers. • Rental growth will be modest across the multi-suite residential market over the near term, in part due to the existence of rental controls in several provinces. • Office sector rents will be eroded in Calgary and Edmonton over the near term, with the potential for declines in regions with excess vacancy due to the combined effects of new construction and tepid demand. • Near-term retail sector performance will be impacted by the continued unfolding of changes in market dynamics including: e-commerce, shrinking store size, the Target hangover, the expanding luxury market segment, a low Canadian dollar, and ongoing changes and consolidation of distribution networks. OFFICE Canada’s office sector will face strong headwinds in 2016, which will most certainly impact performance. Investment performance will be fairly positive, although returns will likely continue to trend lower. The potential for material capital growth is low, as the trend appears to have come to an end in 2014. Therefore, income will be the main driver of returns over the near term. There will be two major headwinds that will impact the sector. The first is the ongoing development cycle, against a backdrop of modest demand. This combination will negatively impact income growth levels in more than one market over the near term. Calgary, Toronto, Vancouver and Edmonton are likely to face the strongest supply headwinds. The second headwind related to office sector performance is the ongoing oil slump. This has already eroded market fundamentals in Calgary and Edmonton. As 2016 progresses, further downward pressure on income performance is likely to occur. While some gains will be posted in specific segments of the office sector over the near term, these could be more than offset by anticipated performance headwinds.

INDUSTRIAL

MULTI-SUITE RESIDENTIAL

Continued progress is expected to characterize Canada’s 2016 industrial sector performance, after a successful post financial crisis period of results. Leasing fundamentals will remain strong, as was the case over the past year. The strength of the sector’s demand profile in the coming year will be rooted in the warehouse, logistics, and procurement sectors. In a repeat of the recent trend, consumer goods distributors will lead the way in terms of industrial space demand. The focus of expansion activity will be in newly built properties, especially for larger users of warehouse space. The low Canadian dollar and a healthy U.S. economy are expected to support expansion activity. Positive demand characteristics will support equally healthy occupancy patterns in the existing inventory of industrial property in 2016. At the same time, development activity will be conservative by historic standards, ensuring supply-side metrics favour owners. Rents will, at the very least, hold steady at 2015 levels in the coming year with limited increases in scenarios where vacancy is in short supply. Overall, the solid leasing outlook will support investment performance in the coming months.

Near-term multi-suite residential sector performance will be characterized by strength and stability, in keeping with the longterm trend. Rental market conditions will remain strong for the most part, although some softening will take place in Calgary and Edmonton. Occupancy will continue to range between 97.0 per cent and 98.0 per cent, indicative of material imbalance. Record levels of new development will provide some relief to the ongoing shortfall in supply. However, the market will remain tight. Rental rate growth will occur in most jurisdictions, except for Alberta where occupancy levels will edge progressively lower due to the ongoing oil slump. The continued multi-suite residential market stability and health over the near term will provide a solid base for investment performance patterns.

Canada’s industrial sector is expected to generate another period of healthy investment performance in 2016, in extending the medium-term trend. Returns in 2016 will be close to the 2015 result, which will be mostly income driven. Property values will hold at 2015 levels, although in specific cases investors will push pricing higher for assets with added strategic value. Buyer competitiveness will be a factor going forward, particularly for assets with strong tenant rosters. A range of investors will exhibit interest in both core and riskier assets in prime markets. In secondary markets, private groups will dominate purchasing activity. In short,Canada’s industrial property market will see progression in both the leasing and investment markets - a trend that has been in place for much of the post financial crisis period. RETAIL The Canadian shopping centre property market’s run of success over the past several years will ease somewhat in 2016. The sector will be forced to contend with ongoing bankruptcies and downsizing in categories that continue struggle through various market influences. The fundamental health of the retail leasing market will remain largely intact. However, the impact of e-commerce and changing consumer behavior will result in a period of adjustment that will negatively impact performance. National occupancy will fall moderately, although Vancouver, Ottawa and Edmonton will remain tight. Most other large CMAs will see occupancy edge lower and range close to the national average. A number of national and international retailers will expand into the Canadian market in 2016, partially offsetting rising vacancy. Regional malls will be the focus of much of this demand. A number of new tenancies have been announced in new expansion space in some of the nation’s largest and highest profile regional centres for 2016. The successful lease up of this space and existing space in regional centres will support peak rents in this sub-category of the market. In the wider market, however, there will be some weakness, particularly in power centres and smaller retail strips. On balance, the shopping centre leasing market will be under some stress in 2016, resulting in uneven performance.

COM_0516.indd 43

Canada’s multi-suite residential investment market will also stabilize over the near term, in keeping with the mature phase of the current cycle. Strong demand characteristics will ensure property values hold at the peak for the cycle. A range of public and private capital groups will continue to look to the long-term health of the sector as rationale for investing in the sector. For many, the promise of positive and stable income performance will remain the main sector attraction. The largely positive rental market outlook will support this rationale. As a result, the sector will be consistently liquid. Demand will continue to outdistance the supply of assets for sale, forcing investors to source offmarket opportunities. In so doing, transaction volume will remain healthy. In summary, the multi-suite residential sector will exhibit generally strong and stable investment and rental market performance over the near term.

ALMOST 6.1 MILLION SQUARE FEET OF LEASED SPACE IN Q4 2015

oronto Real Estate Board President Mark McLean announced that TREB Commercial Network Members leased almost 6.1 million square feet of combined industrial, commercial/retail and office space in the fourth quarter of 2015. This result represented a 19.6 per cent yearover-year increase compared to the fourth quarter of 2014. More than three-quarters of all leased space was accounted for by the industrial market segment, followed by 12 per cent for the office segment and 10 per cent for the commercial/retail segment.

Year-over-year changes in average lease rates, for properties leased on a per square foot net basis with pricing disclosed, were mixed in Q4 2015. The average industrial lease rate was $6.09 per square foot net – up substantially compared to $5.22 in Q4 2014. While increased demand likely played a role, the key reason for the strong year-over-year growth in the average industrial lease rate was a number of deals completed for large spaces signed at above-average lease rates. The average commercial/retail lease rate was down compared to Q4 2014. The average office lease rate was up compared to the same period last year. “It was a tumultuous time in Canada, from an economic perspective, in 2015. Nationally, we entered into and then climbed back out of a modest recession. The volatility in economic growth obviously had its foundation in declining oil prices, which hit the economies of western provinces particularly hard. However, in other parts of the country,

COM_0516.indd 47

like Ontario and particularly the GTA, economic conditions were not so severe. The unemployment rate trended lower for much of 2015, suggesting that many firms in the GTA were taking on employees. This suggests that some companies may be anticipating stronger growth ahead, perhaps as a result of the lower valued Canadian dollar visà-vis the US,” said Mr. McLean. “Looking forward, it is quite possible that we could see an uptick in commercial leasing and sale activity in 2016, as the economy in the GTA and Ontario more broadly outperforms many other Canadian provinces. With this said, it is important to point out that after a good GDP growth result for the third quarter of 2015, a poor October result suggests that the rate of economic growth may have moderated in the fourth quarter. The continuation of economic volatility could slow some firms’ real estate investment decisions,” continued Mr. McLean. Total industrial, commercial/retail and office property sales amounted to 235 in Q4 2015 – down by approximately 27 per cent compared to 322 sales in Q4 2014. The number of sales were down for all three market segments. Year-over-year changes in average sale prices, on a per square foot basis for transactions with pricing disclosed, were mixed. The average industrial selling price, at $87.37 per square foot, was down by approximately 15 per cent compared to Q4 2014. The average commercial/retail selling price was down substantially, but this was largely due to a greater share of larger properties sold in the last three months of 2015 compared to the same period in 2014. Larger properties tend to sell for less on a per square foot basis. The average office price was down by 7.1 per cent year over year.

CANADIANS HOARD AN UNPRECEDENTED $75 BILLION IN EXTRA CASH AMID MARKET VOLATILITY: CIBC Sitting on the sidelines for too long comes with a personal price tag

anadians are holding a record $75 billion in extra cash and continue to sock away money at a rate not seen in more than four years, finds a new CIBC World Markets report.

The report finds Canadians, nervous of volatility in the financial markets, have amassed cash reserves of $75 billion as of December 2015 – extra money that they normally would invest in the markets, which could cost them billions in lost investment returns. “We are currently witnessing the creation of personal cash buffers larger than at any other time on record,”says Benjamin Tal, deputy chief economist at CIBC World Markets and co-author of the report Cashing In On Fear with Senior Economist Royce Mendes.“From a broader perspective, the Canadian economy is losing out because capital is not being allocated efficiently.” Since the 2008 global financial crisis, excess cash reserves held by Canadians have risen notably and at the current level of $75 billion, they represent almost 10 per cent of the total value of overall personal liquid assets in Canada. In the past year alone, cash positions are estimated to have risen more than 11 per cent – the fastest pace since early 2012. An overly sour view of Canada from foreign investors combined with recent volatility in stock markets around the world has made for a tough investing environment, the report says. “Consistent with past behaviour, Canadian investors have used current market volatility as an excuse to let cash pile up in their chequing and savings accounts, says Mr. Tal. The report finds that all Canadians, young and old alike, are making cash a bigger part of their portfolios. But, strikingly, those under 35 – the farthest away from retirement – are holding twice as much cash as those over the age of 65, about 33 per cent versus 15 per cent.

following the crash, during which time the stock market rallied more than 20 per cent. Following the 2001 flight to safety, overall liquidity positions surged by more than 30 per cent, but again, investors failed to adjust their cash levels when the market recovered, maintaining record high cash levels during the bull market that began in early 2003. “While the rush to cash during periods of volatility is understandable, the problem is that Canadians maintained those elevated cash positions for far too long after markets rebounded,”says Mr. Tal. Likewise, the current rush to cash is still building on cash holdings that spiked following the 2008 market crash. “What’s more troubling than holding cash for long periods of time is that investors often move into it at precisely the wrong time,”says Mr. Tal.“The usual response is to take money off the table at the worst possible time.” Over the past five years, the S&P/TSX Volatility Index, a gauge of investors’ fear, peaked over 20 eight times, yet in the 90 days following the peaks, the S&P/TSX Composite Index returned an average of nine per cent. “We know that from the data on personal deposits that Canadians respond to adverse shocks by moving into cash,”says Mr. Tal.“But, that rebalancing means that investors are buying high and selling low.” The complete CIBC World Markets report is available at: http:// research.cibcwm.com/economic_public/download/if_2016-0126. pdf. CIBC is a leading Canadian-based financial institution with 11 million individual, small business, commercial, corporate and institutional clients and three major business units – Retail and Business Banking, Wealth Management and Capital Markets. CIBC Capital Markets provides integrated global markets products and services, corporate and investment banking, and top-ranked research to corporate, government and institutional clients around the world. Visit www.cibccm.com.

“While holding cash can guard against short-term spikes in volatility, it’s certainly a long-term drag on portfolio returns,” says Mr. Tal. While the October 1987 stock market correction lasted two months, investors added to their cash position for 18 months

CANADIAN APARTMENTS INTEREST MORE THAN CANADIANS By Ramona Ursu, FRI, CLO

one-on-one talk with Derek Lobo, CEO and owner of SVN Rock Advisors Inc., Brokerage, and one of Canada’s multi-family real estate experts.

Ramona Ursu: You’ve traveled a lot this past. Chicago, Munich, Aberdeen, and now, you’re in Dubai, working with various investors and bringing back that knowledge to your existing clientele. Every one of your trips is different. Tell us a little bit about the lessons learned. Derek Lobo: One of the things I’ve learned is that Canada is probably the most attractive place in the world to invest. Everyone has the United States on their list of “where I want to be,” however, where they really want to be is Canada, but they see our country as being “too small.” When I sat down at the ExpoReal Conference in Munich, I heard all these positive things about Canada, but then up came the supply question, and people argued there is a shortage of institutional-quality product. Gord Vollmer, [executive vice president, Office & Industrial, Morguard Investments Limited], said only two per cent of the world’s institutional-quality investments are in Canada, yet Canada is seen as the safest places [to invest] in the world; hence it seems to me we need to be creating more institutional-quality product, especially in the apartment sector. This is why our company focuses a lot of time on new apartment construction, and in fact, we’ve just completed a $250 million dollar transaction that was new construction based. This is what apartment building owners want: they want their apartment buildings to look like their office buildings. In regards to Aberdeen, it’s surprising that most of Europe does not have the market-driven apartment business that exists in America and Canada. When European pension funds want to own apartment-portfolios, they have to come to North America to buy them. This past year, one of our clients has decided to look into building purpose-build rentals in Europe, and they looked for people there to do

COM_0516.indd 52

a feasibility study that answers the questions we typically answer in our own feasibility studies: should you build, what should you build, how much should you charge and what is the depth of the market – but there really weren’t any experts in the UK who could do this. Our client hence approached us and asked us to go to Scotland and do the study. Scott Midgley, our VP of Research, and I went there, and it took us a little longer than usual to complete the study, but it wasn’t unlike the first time we went to Phoenix, or the first time we went to Oakland, or the first time we went to Colona. The rental market is the rental market. This year you’ve bought SVN Canada, a platform for taking the brokerage business nationally, and internationally, via franchising the largest privately owned real estate firm in the US. What is the immediate opportunity you foresee for US crossborder investment? DL: You know, America is probably the choice of foreign money in the world for real estate, and the reason is simply because of the size of the American economy, and the fact that there is always product available. So when we did our homework, we found that the single largest investor in real estate in the US are Canadians! And that’s maybe not a huge surprise, but it’s interesting to note that while, say, the State of Kuwait was high on the list, their average deal size was $72 million dollars; Canadians, on the other hand had done much more volume with smaller-size deals. So we think there is a tremendous opportunity for Canadians that own real estate in America, who bought it many years ago, to receive both the capital gains, and also the arbitrage on the Canadian dollar – currently a 30 per cent premium. We want to facilitate those transactions, and SVN has 191 offices and 1155 agents across America. What that brings our clients is institutional-grade service at the local level, which no Canadian firm can provide. Also, SVN’s unique co-operating brokerage model really facilitates these transactions to occur at the true top-value of the asset. What do you tell foreign investors about the Canadian multifamily market and what are some trends? Tell us a few ways your clients can invest, based on their risk profile. Continued on page 54

DL: I always tell foreign investors to be patient, because at any given time, you can go to America and find a portfolio of 5,000 units available at 5.5 per cent cap rate. But that comes with brutal competition, significant overbuilding, and volatility in the market place that almost resembles the hotel industry. If you come to Canada, you take a lower rate, and yes, your accumulation will be slower, but the investment will be steady. And investors don’t come to Canada to hit a home-run. They come to Canada for wealth preservation, taxshelter and maybe a currency-play if they get their timing right. But they’re coming here for quality and stability, and the Canadian market place offers stability like no other. Now we have to work on giving the foreign investors the quality of product that they want. How would you help a foreign investor that wants minimal involvement and maximum returns? DL: Most foreign investors are not coming here because they want to be property managers or asset managers. They’re coming here because they believe in the Canadian economy and real estate. We’ve done a number of deals with sovereign wealth funds and private wealthy individuals from Asia and Europe. They are always quality oriented in terms of what they buy, how they manage and maintain their buildings, and how they pay their on-theground Canadian staff. These owners want best-in-class

and are looking at the long term. Our job is not only to do the transaction, but to find all the members of that team [that will look after the asset], including the financing, if needed. You’re in Dubai for almost a month. Other than spending time with your clients, what do you most look forward to? DL: I’ve read many stories about Dubai, and have always been fascinated with its history and transformation. I remember when I was very young, my father and I were flying from Asia to Canada for the first time and the plane stopped in Dubai. The air was incredibly hot, and back then, Dubai was of course not what is it today, but I bet the wall of heat is still there; I look forward to reliving a bit of that memory, as well, I have family there, so a lot of these things tie together.

Utilize Private Funds In Your Real Estate Today! Since private money can fund quickly, why not use this funding source to negotiate a better deal for a quick closing, and oﬀset the additional interest rates? I personally am self-employed and I am an avid real estate investor who uses this technique all the time. I pay the going rates and still have a great success from real estate!

Example of how using private money worked for one of our clients: Purchased a power of sale vacant property: $550,000 Used private funding to close Used private funding for a renovation loan Renovated and leased the vacant space Appraised the property after the work was completed: New value $1,100,000 Reﬁnanced with the bank Removed private money: now they have a beautiful property that is cash ﬂowing and their initial investment has been returned!

Please note, ﬁrst mortgage rates for a private loan average from 7-10% annually, second mortgage rates average from 10-15% annually. We can obtain up to 90% of the value of the property on approved credit. On average this is on higher side, however has been funded. Lender fee and broker fee will also apply. Private money will fund land, gas stations, vacant properties, distressed properties, construction, and development amongst many others. If you are looking to buy a property and are hitting a wall with your funding, contact info@profunds.ca or reach us toll free at 1-888-330-3866 and we can perform an assessment on your deal today!

Why do I need a lawyer to buy a franchise? By Konstantine Chatzidimos and Jayson Schwarz

hat is a franchise? A “franchise” is a legal structure where a “franchisor” grants to a “franchisee” the right to use a trade name, trademark and can include a business methodology in association with the running of a particular business. Franchise arrangements are quite common in the retail and restaurant sectors of the economy but can be found in virtually all segments. In exchange for the right to use the franchisor’s trade name or trademark and following their guidelines, the franchisee typically pays the franchisor an initial franchise fee plus ongoing royalty payments linked to the gross sales of the franchised business. Due diligence Many prospective franchisees believe that since a particular franchise may have been around for a while, less research, investigation or even business knowledge are required on their part when considering this type of investment. They will hear “turn-key operation” and put their financial suspicions to rest. The Canadian Franchise Association implores prospective franchise purchasers to “investigate before investing.” In Ontario, legislation requires franchisors to provide prospective franchisees a Disclosure Document at least 14 days before they sign any agreement or pay any money to the franchisor. This Disclosure Document is supposed to furnish prospective franchisees with detail regarding the franchise they wish to purchase. It is imperative that prospective franchisees review the complete Disclosure Document,

and any schedules, with a commercial lawyer experienced in this area of the law. An experienced lawyer will determine whether the disclosure provided satisfies the franchisor’s obligations under the law. Too often, clients have retained us to close the purchase of their new franchise well after signing the franchise agreement. You have to read the complete Disclosure Document to understand what you are buying. You are going to get financial statements with the Disclosure document so you will need a chartered accountant to review those as well to ensure you are not buying “a pig in a poke.” If you need a referral your lawyer can certainly help you. The Franchise Agreement included with the Disclosure Document should be a copy of the draft Franchise Agreement. I refer to it as a “draft” because normally there is some negotiation ‘wiggle’ room. It is imperative that the 14-day window is taken advantage of and you address any issues in the Franchise Agreement at that time. Here are some things to watch for that ordinarily are points of contention: the franchise fee; royalty rates; pricing of products that have to be bought from the franchisor; training (if any), territory: exclusivity; degree of control by franchisor over operation of the business and term of the agreement. Ensure you are comfortable with the degree and scale of any such “big-brothering” exacted by the franchisor. Be aware, however, that franchisors pay hefty legal fees to draft their standard form Franchise Agreements and, as a consequence, typically do not want to change anything. Thus, it is best to select a handful of issues for negotiation instead of nit-picking on every second or third line; choose your battles. Conclusion There are a host of issues to be addressed when purchasing a franchised business however the new legislation passed has made it easier for prospective franchisors to make more informed decisions. The thing is the prospective franchisee has to take the step to become informed. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please mail, deliver or fax letters to the magazine or to us, use the website (www.schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@ schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-609-8888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

ROUGH YEAR IN SMALL BUSINESS CONFIDENCE ENDS ON LOWEST NOTE

anada’s small business confidence dropped to 55.7 in December, its weakest month in its weakest year since the 2008-09 financial crisis.

“The year is ending with more of a thud than with a whimper as Alberta’s ongoing struggles continue to be felt throughout the country,” said Ted Mallett, Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) chief economist.“Industry confidence remains weak across most sectors and opinions on the general state of business’ health have moved towards the negative.” On a scale between 0 and 100, an index above 50 means owners expecting their business’ performance to be stronger in the next year outnumber those expecting weaker performance. One normally sees an index level of between 65 and 70 when the economy is growing at its potential. Optimism dropped a point to 65.9 in British Columbia. Alberta set an all-time record low for the second time in four months, plummeting to 33.1, and remains by far the weakest in the country and the only province below the national average. Saskatchewan rose to 56.3, while Manitoba fell two points to 66.4. 14G COM

Ontario dropped to 59.9, just edging out Quebec, which saw a three point climb to 59.6. Newfoundland and Labrador’s business confidence bounced back from last month, climbing to 64.8. Nova Scotia picked up four points to reach 71.0, the highest mark in the country. New Brunswick’s confidence made a small jump to 61.8. Prince Edward Island fell two points to 61.1. The natural resources sector remains the weakest, followed by agriculture, manufacturing and construction. There are no offsetting signs of strength among other industries, with none scoring higher than a sluggish 61.0. Short-term employment plans are weak compared to Decembers in 2014 and 2013, with 15 per cent of business owners expecting to cut staff levels in the next few months versus 19 per cent who are expecting to add. December, 2015 findings are based on 759 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through December 14. Findings are considered accurate to +\- 3.6 per cent 19 times in 20. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

UPCOMING TRUDEAU-OBAMA MEETING URGED TO PURSUE RED-TAPE-FREE-TRADE

ed tape has one-third of Canadian small businesses thinking twice about trading across the U.S. border, according to a new report by the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) on day one of Red Tape Awareness Week. Based on 8600 responses from small business owners, the updated report from 2010 looks at the performance of both the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Agency in facilitating cross-border trade. While both agencies have shown some improvement, one-third of business owners said they would not have started trading had they known about the costs. Thirty-six per cent pointed to administrative hassles and lack of transparency around fees as forcing them to reduce the frequency at which they currently trade.

“In a slowing economy, eliminating unfair and costly rules at the Canada-U.S. border is an inexpensive way of supporting small businesses, who employ more than half of all working Canadians and continue to create most of the new jobs in the country,” said Corinne Pohlmann, CFIB’s senior vice-president of national affairs.“With Prime Minister Trudeau and President Obama scheduled to meet this spring, we hope they will take steps to improve cross-border trade for all businesses by making red-tape-free-trade a priority.” Compared to the findings in 2010, CBSA staff showed some improvement in accessibility, knowledge and how they treat customers. But the agency showed little improvement in how it provides and communicates relevant information. In fact, small

business owners gave the CBSA website a worse rating for user friendliness than in 2010, likely stemming from the fact that a website developed by the agency for small businesses has been taken down. And, many are unaware of many programs put in place to help speed up traffic at the border (i.e. Fast, Canpass). “While we are pleased to see some progress, red tape is putting the benefits of free trade out of reach for many small businesses,” said Satinder Chera, CFIB vice-president.“Small firms need timely and easily accessible information, which the CBSA can provide by improving its Single-Window Initiative to include small businesses, not just pre-approved customs brokers. Making fees more transparent and proportional to smaller transactions would also help.” In comparison, CBSA fared somewhat better than its US counterpart, meaning that importing from the U.S. remains easier than exporting to the U.S. In particular, the CBP performed worse on the amount of paperwork and customer service than the CBSA, while it also registered higher dissatisfaction on website user friendliness than in 2010. Government red tape is a hidden tax that affects Canada’s small businesses much more than larger firms. The annual cost of all regulations on businesses in Canada is pegged at $37 billion per year, with one-third of that ($11 billion) considered unnecessary red tape.
