Canadian boomers catch entrepreneurial bug TD Canada Trust shares what prospective small business owners need to know before making the leap

F

or Canadian boomers, the road to retirement may include a stop as a small business owner. Whether starting freelance consulting work, buying a franchise or opening a specialty business, a recent TD Canada Trust survey found more than half of boomers (54 per cent) have started or considered starting a small business prior to retirement (15 per cent and 39 per cent respectively).

“There are many benefits to being a small business owner, and this is clearly on the minds of boomers across the country,” says Dan Demers, vice president, TD Canada Trust.“While thorough planning, access to finances, hard work and passion are a must for all business owners, there are specific considerations boomers should think about before starting a small business at this stage in their life.”

According to the research, the top reasons boomers consider starting their own business before retiring include being their own boss (58 per cent), having the opportunity to make more money (53 per cent) and having a sense of personal achievement or pride (50 per cent). Of those who thought about opening their own business, two-thirds (67 per cent) said it would be a new venture outside of their current field of work. The survey also found that boomers believe the greatest challenges to starting a small business would be securing finances (42 per cent), taking on additional debt (38 per cent), finding new business or clients (37 per cent) and balancing business and personal finances (36 per cent).

To help navigate challenges and find success, Demers offers advice to boomers considering opening their own small business: Consider your personal finances: While boomers may be more established financially, it’s no wonder that financial concerns top their list of small business challenges. Not only will most boomers have less time to reach their financial goals, they will also need to balance saving for retirement with investing in their business. That’s why it’s important to have a full understanding of your financial situation and how it fits with your small business strategy. Look at your credit rating, personal debt, mortgage payments and retirement savings, as well as the financial situation of your spouse if you have shared assets or debts.

Focus on financing for your small business: Whether you are just starting out or looking to grow your business, cash flow – including access to capital and credit – is critical for success. Start by accurately projecting start-up costs and business expenses and learning about the financing solutions available to you – from an operating line of credit or small business mortgage to government grants.

Make a plan: Whether taking on consulting work to earn additional income during retirement or realizing a lifelong dream of owning your own store, start by setting your goals. Next, develop a business plan. While the plan can be scaled depending on the type of business you want to start, every plan should include a business model, financial plan, long-term vision and short-term goals.

Know your options: More than one-third of boomers (36 per cent) see work/life balance as being a challenge for small business owners, so look for banking services that help save time and money. Choose accounts that provide flexibility and convenience, while helping to cost-effectively manage monthly transactions.

Plan to retire: It’s never too early for small business owners to plan for retirement.

Whether selling your business, handing the reins to an employee or family member or simply winding down your work, having a succession plan can help ensure the continued success of your business, or help you get the maximum value for your business.

Demers adds that access to financial knowledge and resources can help make the most of your small business.

“Whether you are just starting out, need to overcome a specific challenge or want to create a succession plan, take advantage of the advice and services that small business advisors from your local bank have to offer. TD Canada Trust has advisors at hundreds of bank branches across Canada, many of which are open evenings and weekends, to help small business owners make the most of their time.”

Small business owners can also look to online resources for additional support. For example, TD Canada Trust’s Canadian Business Community on LinkedIn provides a network of small and mid-sized business owners and industry experts. Additional resources, including an online business planner, can also be found at the Small Business Resource Centre on www.tdcanadatrust.com.

TD Bank Group commissioned Environics Research Group to conduct an online omnibus survey of 1,000 Canadians 18 years of age or older, with 426 who are considered part of the baby boomer generation (born 1946 and 1964). Results were collected between September 26 and 28, 2012.

TD Canada Trust offers personal and business banking to more than 11.5 million customers. We provide a wide range of products and services from chequing and savings accounts, to credit cards, mortgages and business banking, to credit protection and travel medical insurance, as well as advice on managing everyday finances.

Canadian commercial real estate investment volumes on verge of exceeding pre-credit crisis levels, while investors’ lingering indecision stymies U.S. recovery Avison Young releases inaugural Fall 2012 Canada, U.S. Commercial Real Estate Investment Review

T

he gap between Canadian and U.S. property market fundamentals is not only evident on the leasing side of the ledger, but also on the investment side. Historically low interest rates have Canada on the verge of exceeding pre-credit crisis investment levels, while cautious lenders and investors leave the U.S. with some distance still to cover.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s inaugural Fall 2012 Canada, U.S. Commercial Real Estate Investment Review, released recently.

The report covers commercial real estate investment conditions in 18 regions: Calgary, Edmonton, Montreal, Ottawa, Toronto, Vancouver, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Dallas, Houston, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, New York, Pittsburgh, Reno, San Francisco and Washington, DC. “Canada’s overall economic well-being and stable commercial real estate market fundamentals, characterized by low-to-mid single-digit vacancy rates, along with historically low interest rates, are driving the flow of capital across most regions and asset classes – something that we have not seen to the same degree in the U.S.,” comments

Mark E. Rose, Chair and CEO of Avison Young.

“While the leasing and investment stars are aligned in Canada, exhibiting more uniform and robust investment volumes to date, fundamentals remain out of step in the U.S. Even with the lowest interest rate environment ever, the U.S. economy and commercial real estate market continue to sort themselves out – restricting the flow of capital and keeping some players on the sidelines.”

Rose remains cautiously optimistic.“Notwithstanding all of the lingering distractions abroad that continue to dictate (in varying degrees) business and political decisions in Canada and the U.S., the conclusion of the U.S. presidential election in November should provide some direction, stability and growth going forward,” he says.

“Although Canada is stable, further gains are being tempered by fundamental financial and investment issues in the U.S. and Europe and, therefore, Canada may very well be facing a temporary top in pricing and activity. On the other hand, the difficulties in the U.S. are presenting an opportunity to invest at a cyclical trough,” adds Rose.

“All one has to do is to look at the commercial real estate investment volumes for the first half of 2012 and compare them to the same period last year, or even prior to the economic downturn, to see how far apart Canada and the U.S. really are,” notes Bill Argeropoulos, Vice-President and Director of Research (Canada) for Avison Young.

“Of the 18 Avison Young markets surveyed in Canada and the U.S., investment dollar volumes increased in nine markets when compared with the same six-month period in 2011, with sales volumes rising between 5 per cent and 111 per cent. An equal number of markets witnessed falling sales volumes of between 1 per cent and 53 per cetn over the same period.”

Argeropoulos points out: “A closer look at these figures, however, reveals the clear disparity between the two countries. While five of the six Canadian markets surveyed saw higher investment volumes year-overyear, only four of the 12 U.S. markets experienced a similar increase over the same period.”

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

The report shows that at the Canadian market’s peak in 2007, approximately $24 billion (CAD) worth of commercial real estate in the office, industrial, retail, multi-residential and land sectors greater than $1 million transacted across Canada’s major markets. With the onset of the recession in 2008, asset sales dropped to $20 billion, bottoming out in 2009 at $12 billion. Since then, buyers have come off the sidelines, deploying $18 billion in 2010 and $21 billion in 2011.

“Canada’s commercial real estate investment sector has rebounded strongly from the market trough, with investment sales volumes and pricing reminiscent of pre-credit crisis levels.

Through the first six months of 2012, almost $13 billion worth of commercial real estate assets changed hands, an increase of 26 per cent compared with the first six months of 2011,” says Argeropoulos.“Given the current deal pipeline, and barring any delays causing deals to be pushed into next year, there is a strong possibility that Canada will exceed its previous market peak.

It’s also conceivable that a number of markets will either match or exceed their previous highs, including Vancouver and Calgary in the west and Toronto and Ottawa in the east.”

19 inthenews

emerged as aggressive buyers, often competing with and outbidding the pension funds for some of the coveted assets in the country.

Canada Office buildings were the most actively traded asset class in the first half of 2012 - capturing 39% of the total investment dollar volume. In all, $5 billion worth of office properties transacted (more than doubling (+121%) last year’s six-month tally) - highlighted by the $1.3-billion sale of Scotia Plaza in Toronto, Bentall V ($401 million) in Vancouver, and Calgary Place ($312 million) in Calgary. Coincidentally, Toronto ($2.7 billion), Calgary ($1.1 billion) and Vancouver ($707 million) led all Canadian markets in terms of office sales.

Retail, 2011’s most actively traded asset class, registered $2.2 billion

“Access to attractively-priced debt capital and nominal borrowing costs, which have never been lower, continue to fuel much of the investment activity – more so in Canada than the U.S.,” states Avison Young mortgage broker Norman Arychuk in Toronto.

Arychuk adds,“Canadian lenders have had another bumper first half of the year, with some filling their quotas. The current lack of available alternative investments to drive yield for lenders will continue to provide a good, competitive supply of debt capital, which in turn will be tempered by asset quality. The U.S. debt capital markets remain distinctly bifurcated, mirroring the characteristics of the real estate market.

Quality assets will be the recipients of the best lending terms, while other assets will not, in some cases, have the ability to attract debt at any sensible level. The near term is more of the same.”

The report goes on to say that increased competition for assets has generally elevated pricing across Canada – and in some cases even exceeded pre-credit crisis levels for well-leased, quality-grade properties in prime locations. In almost every asset category, Vancouver yields the lowest capitalization rates, followed by Toronto and Calgary. While the investor profile is varied, real estate investment trusts (REITs) have

in sales in the first six months of 2012 – down 22 per cent over the first six months of 2011 as the asset class captured 17 per cent of the overall investment dollar volume. Notable retail transactions included Southgate Centre ($264 million) in Edmonton and Marlborough Mall ($137 million) in Calgary. At $671 million, Toronto saw the highest retail sales volume, though this figure is down 61 per cent compared with 2011. This was largely attributed to the lack of product coming to the market, especially in the larger-retail-centre category, which dominated the sales landscape in 2011.

Sales of land followed, with $2.1 billion worth of transactions, securing a 17 per cent market share. Unlike retail, the land sector saw its transaction dollar volume increase by 45 per cent compared with 2011.

Land was also the only property type to see a year-over-year rise in investment volumes in each of the six Canadian markets surveyed.

Toronto led the way with $656 million in trades; however, Vancouver posted the greatest year-over-year increase (+123 per cent), as land sales more than doubled to $258 million.

Continued from Page 19

The sale of industrial buildings was slightly off (-13%), slipping from $2.1 billion in the first half of 2011 to $1.8 billion in the first half of 2012 – finishing with a 14 per cent market share. With the exception of Vancouver, investment volume was down in every market, with Edmonton (-58 per cent) and Ottawa (-47 per cent) posting the most notable declines over last year.

Similar to industrial, $1.8 billion (14 per cent share) worth of multi-residential (apartment) buildings changed hands in the six-month period ending June 30, 2012. However, unlike industrial, multi-residential sales were up 7 per cent over the same period in 2011. With $790 million in trades, Toronto was by far the most active multiresidential market in the country. Vancouver ($387 million) was a distant second.

Toronto, Canada’s largest city and commercial real estate market, remains the investment market of choice, recording $5.7 billion in sales (44 per cent share) – matching the 26 per cent national year-over-year growth in sales. Toronto led in every asset category, with Vancouver challenging Toronto’s number-one ranking in retail and Edmonton giving Toronto a run for the title in land.

“Everyone wants to own a piece of commercial real estate in the largest and one of the healthiest markets in the country,” observes Robin White, Avison Young Principal and Executive VicePresident, Capital Markets Group, in Toronto.

“Investors have been served an entrée of product, ranging from trophy office buildings to redevelopment plays and while some investors are buying property for the income stream that it provides, others are looking to take advantage of the growth potential.”

White cautions: “While a variety of property types have sold, some are taking longer to sell or have been pulled from the market altogether – perhaps signaling an inflection point on pricing.”

Volume 12 Issue 12

The outcome of this trend is that going forward, there will be growing amounts of public or private equity available for investment. The macroeconomic factors affecting the Vancouver commercial, industrial and retail markets continue to be relatively positive with little sign of increasing vacancies, abnormal new construction levels or diminished demand from tenants,” notes Avison Young Principal Bob Levine, in Vancouver.

Calgary’s commercial real estate investment market ($2 billion/16 per cent share) posted an outstanding 111 per cent dollar volume increase in the first half of 2012 compared with the first half of 2011. Office property investment activity was a key driver behind this trend, with transaction count and dollar volume showing major growth.

“The strong activity throughout the first half of the year has only been limited by the availability of product. Despite a slight slowdown in leasing activity in the downtown, rental rates remain firm and vacancy is very low. There continues to be significant optimism about Calgary and Alberta as an economic hub for western Canada, and a great place to invest,” says Avison Young Principal Tod Hughes in Calgary.

Edmonton posted a respectable $1.3 billion in sales (+17 per cent/10 per cent share) with land being the most actively traded asset class, followed closely by retail.

“Vacancy rates in all product classes continue to decline in Edmonton.

At the same time, construction costs continue to rise. The result of these two phenomena is that rental rates in existing buildings are going up – providing ever more attractive returns to owners and landlords, and skewing the hold/sell analysis in favour of keeping assets. As with all other markets, there is continued pressure from investors to place money; the combination of abundant capital and reluctant sellers will result in continued cap-rate compression,” explains John Ross, Avison Young’s Managing Director of the Edmonton office.

At $825 million (6 per cent share), Montreal was the only Canadian market to see year-over-year investment volumes fall – a decline of 53 per cent. Apart from land, which saw a moderate improvement in sales over last year, sales volumes fell in the remaining property types.

“Montreal’s investment potential, despite a stable real estate market, is hampered by short-term external factors. The summer election of a nationalist government and proposed tax increases, and recent news stories about corruption at the municipal and provincial levels have resulted in some negative publicity for the Province of Quebec,” says Avison Young Principal Tom Godber in Montreal.

Vancouver had an exceptional first half of 2012 as transaction dollar volume surged to $2.4 billion (+48 per cent/19 per cent share), which was attributed to a number of significant transactions including the $401-million acquisition of the Bentall V office tower.

Finally, in the nation’s capital, Ottawa, the sale of commercial real estate assets was up a remarkable 85 per cent compared with the first half of 2011, with $666 million in transactions and a 5 per cent market share.

Bolstering the figures were the sale of class AAA downtown core office buildings – the EDC Building and the Chambers Building – the latter setting a new high-water mark for price-per-square-foot achieved in an office transaction in Ottawa.

“The continuing low interest rate environment and the lack of faith in sustainable stock market returns are driving many investors to further invest in public real estate companies, such as REITs or private limited partnership pools.

According to Avison Young Principal Michael Church in Ottawa, “Ottawa has continued to attract investment capital at increasingly compressed cap rates through the first half of 2012. We fully expect that trend to continue through the end of the year.”

United States Overall sales volume of U.S. commercial real estate in Avison Young markets slid to $43.4 billion (USD) in the first half of 2012 from $45.2 billion in the first half of 2011. Chicago, Dallas, Houston and San Francisco were the only markets to see their total sales volume increase year-over-year, while New York, Los Angeles, Washington, DC and Chicago led Avison Young markets in overall sales volume through June 30, 2012.

According to Earl Webb, Avison Young’s President, U.S. Operations: “Market fundamentals and recovery stalled this summer in many U.S. metropolitan areas; however, the U.S. market continues to be a magnet for foreign investment and, as of October, Canadian investors lead all countries with investments totaling $3.5 billion.”

Investor capital has generally focused on core assets in larger metropolitan areas and coastal cities, but this year that appetite has been tempered somewhat due to the unavailability of product.

“Lack of supply moved some institutional players to look for middle-market assets – a trend likely to continue into 2013,” says Webb.

While multi-residential (apartment) and retail sales ticked upward ($10.6 billion to $12.6 billion and $7.6 billion to $8.4 billion, respectively), office sales dominated dollar volume in the first half of 2012 ($17.3 billion) in Avison Young markets.

“The U.S. investment sales market thus far in 2012 is bifurcated with core, well-leased and located properties maintaining their values relative to their respective markets,” comments Avison Young Principal Chip Ryan in Washington, DC.“Investors have demonstrated a marked preference for core office assets, if available, and pricing reflects that preference.”

positioned this year with an abundance of capital chasing these stable cash-flowing assets.” In the Washington, DC area, for example, medical office buildings benefit from limited supply, high barriers to entry, and strong health systems such as Johns Hopkins and Inova.

Meanwhile, U.S. industrial sales in Avison Young markets declined to $5.1 billion in the first half of 2012 from $9.3 billion during the same period last year.“Pure industrial or warehouse are still in demand and that market segment should grow in 2013,” points out Ryan.

Two Avison Young markets recorded impressive increases in office sales volume over the first six months of 2011: Chicago sales increased 151 per cent while San Francisco saw its volume jump 88 per cent.

Boston, which saw its industrial sales volume nearly double in the first half of 2012 compared with the first half 2011, was the only Avison Young market to report an increase in industrial sales volume. Reno was the sole market where first-half 2012 industrial sales volume was greater than the volume achieved in the other property types.

Year-over-year, capitalization rates fell an average of 40 basis points for the four product types, with industrial and multi-residential sales witnessing the greatest declines. The overall rates came down to some degree in all markets except Chicago, New York and Pittsburgh, where rates increased marginally.

Recent market trends for multi-residential properties have raised concerns that demand is beginning to abate and development in some U.S. markets will accelerate in 2013. According to Avison Young Principal Matt Tritschler in Atlanta: “Trends that have boosted demand for multi-residential properties suggest a moderate slowdown, although investment capital - funded with abundant debt for this product type continues to keep capitalization rates very low.”

He adds: “Multi-residential investment remains a local play based on job growth, supply and other factors.”The apartment sector led first-half 2012 transaction volume in four markets: Atlanta, Dallas, Houston and Las Vegas.

The report goes on to say that sales volume for office, industrial, retail and multi-residential sales in the first half of 2012 fell by nearly 20 per cent in Metropolitan Washington (long considered a safe investment haven) compared with the same period in 2011. That trend may change course now that the U.S. presidential election has been completed but was not expected to change its course before this important event occurred.

“Office buildings with long-term leases will garner the most qualified buyers; at risk will be those properties dependent on defense and its contractors for leasing,” adds Ryan.“We expect that medical office buildings will remain well-

What to expect in due diligence

Buying or selling a small business means asking the right questions, and getting the right answers

C

ongratulations, you’ve found a small business to buy, or found a buyer for your small business. It’s an exciting time in your financial and professional journey. But before the i’s are dotted and t’s are crossed for good, the final step in the process is still ahead – due diligence.

Due diligence is simply the research and analysis of the company in question prior to sale, in order to confirm all material facts involved in the sale. In reality, it’s a timeconsuming and occasionally overwhelming process, but a critical component of any small business transaction that helps avoid potentially costly surprises. For a small business purchase, due diligence can take a couple of weeks and sometimes up to nearly a month or longer, depending on the complexity of the transaction and the reliability of accounting and other records.

The entire due diligence process is comprehensive, involving legal, accounting, and general business practices. It starts with synergies and the identification of where cost reduction opportunities and revenue increase opportunities exist, as well as how the product, personnel, and geographic coverage of the acquirer/acquiree fit together.

Next comes a market overview, including the size of the market; how it’s segmented; projected growth and profitability and what factors might affect those; trends in the number of competitors, their size, product innovation, distribution, finances, regulations and product liability.

A SWOT analysis (Strengths, Weaknesses/ Limitations, Opportunities and Threats) starts with an analysis of the aspects of the business likely to give it a competitive advantage, such as patents, strong brand names, positive reputation, proprietary know-how, and good access to distribution and resources.

Weaknesses could simply be an absence of such strengths, or the flip side of those strengths; a large manufacturing capacity in the strengths column can mean a

corresponding item in the weaknesses column if it prevents the company from reacting quickly to market changes.

Opportunities for growth and profit should also be revealed during due diligence, including the imminence of new technologies, loosening of regulations, or changes to barriers to international trade; likewise, these things may also reveal threats to the business.

The next stage of the due diligence process is a corporate overview The essentials include the company’s core competencies, strategic alliances, history of product development, and a history of the management team. The corporate overview is broad spectrum analysis that will examine corporate culture, including command structure, employee retention, promotion policies, internal information dissemination, and the physical environment; personnel information including compensation agreements, payroll, terminations, organization charts, employee manuals and benefits; marketing and advertising expenditures, risk management, and insurance premium adjustments, to cite a mere few examples.

Products, intellectual property and brands will be extensively reviewed, including historical and projected growth rates, marketshare, and profitability, as well as the legal minutiae of ownership, such as clear title to branded names, legal fees involved in brand encroachment, pending patent applications, copy right registrations, and registered designs. Legal matters also include pending lawsuits against the company and any initiated by the company, and environmental and employee safety issues and liabilities.

Research and development matters including strategies, key personnel and major activities will be reviewed also. What’s the status and timing of new products, and their cost of development? What critical technologies are necessary for implementation? And, what are the risks?

Of course, financial due diligence is a huge part of the process. Assets and liabilities, equity and profitability play major roles. Annual and quarterly financial information for the past three years will be reviewed, as well as financial projections, capital structure, and other financial information such as general accounting policies and tax positions.

While they’re poring over the huge volume of information involved in the process, your lawyer, accountant and business advisors will be looking for red flags, such as: is there evidence of numerous changes to accounting practices?

Are there complex arrangements in place that don’t appear to have a sound business purpose? Have other acquisition attempts fallen through? Are a large percentage of monthly sales regularly achieved in the last few days of the month? Have sales and/or profits been stagnant or are they declining?

It’s important to note, too, that even information revealed in due diligence that is technically “accurate” may not reliably represent the business’s true performance; for example, a seller might have a relationship with a cargo company that keeps shipping costs well below the industry average, but the buyer would not have the same relationship. A professional due diligence review is essential to ensuring that information disclosed is not just accurate, but reliable as well. The reliability of the historical financial statements will be key. Generally reviewed or audited financial statements will add that much more creditability for reliance and in the end may reduce the cost of financial due diligence.

Mall of the Emirates among world’s most lucrative malls Mall of the Emirates is the number one in the Middle East for sales per square foot

M

all of the Emirates, Majid Al Futtaim Properties’ flagship mall in Dubai, UAE, the region’s top shopping resort, has been ranked the 7th most productive shopping centre in the world, earning USD 1,423 per square foot per annum, according to recent research by the International Council of Shopping Centres (ICSC), as published in Shopping Centre Today.

Volume 12 Issue 12

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

According to ICSC, the 2.5 million squarefoot Mall of The Emirates is nearly three times more profitable per square foot than the industry average, and its sales surpass those of some of the most internationally renowned shopping destinations in Los Angeles, Toronto and Orlando.

Since opening its doors in 2005, Mall of the Emirates has witnessed consistent footfall growth and impressive demand from retailers. In the past seven years, Mall of Emirates’ annual footfall numbers have increased by an average eight to ten per cent annually. In the first half of 2012, the Mall welcomed more than 20 million visitors, on track to surpass 2011’s total of 36 million visitors. Despite already housing an impressive 535 international retail brands, including over 80 luxury stores, there are currently over 160 international brands on the waiting list for space at Mall of The Emirates.

Peter Walichnowski, Chief Executive Officer of Majid Al Futtaim Properties, commented: “We are very pleased to be recognised on an international level, which confirms our position as the retail leader in the Middle East region including Dubai, one of the world’s most iconic shopping destinations.

“The key to our continued success is to provide the best access to the most sought-after brands and leisure concepts.

We strive to not only remain relevant to consumers, but to exceed their expectations, which is what we call the art of proactive asset management. We are constantly investing in renovating our offerings, refreshing our retail mix and developing new entertainment concepts.

This has not only contributed to our leadership of the market, both in the region and worldwide, but has also played a fundamental role in positioning Dubai as the second top retail hub in the world1, after London.”

Mall of the Emirates was ranked seventh in the ICSC rankings, behind shopping centres in Sydney, New York City, London, Las Vegas and Miami.

ICSC’s annual survey maps the global retail centres, classifies the world’s 15 most lucrative malls and analyses factors contributing to their success. Mall of the Emirates is the only mall in the Middle East to qualify among the world’s top 15 shopping malls. Population density, mass affluence and strong brand identities were identified as key sales drivers. Data from Green Street Advisors, KPMG, Thomas Consulting, Shopping Centre News and other sources was used as a basis for this analysis.

Mall of the Emirates Mall of the Emirates, the world’s first shopping resort, currently features more than 535 international brands with a total GLA of 233,467 sq. m including department stores, fashion, lifestyle, sports, electronics and home furnishing outlets and the largest Carrefour in the city. The compelling family leisure offer includes a Magic Planet family entertainment area, a 14-screen VOX Cinemas, the world-renowned Ski Dubai – the Middle East’s first indoor ski resort and snow park, the 500-seat capacity Dubai Community Theatre and Arts Centre and more than 95 international dining and café options. The Mall houses over 80 of the world’s most renowned designer brands in Fashion Dome and Via Rodeo; and has two adjoining hotels: the 5-star Kempinski Mall of the Emirates and the 4-star The Pullman Hotel, Mall of the Emirates.

Majid Al Futtaim Properties Majid Al Futtaim Properties is a leader in ownership, development and management of shopping malls together with hotels and communities in the MENA. Majid Al Futtaim Properties has changed the face of shopping, leisure and entertainment across the region with eleven world-class malls operating in the UAE, Bahrain, Oman and Egypt and two currently under development in Cairo and Beirut. The Company’s shopping malls continue to witness a steady increase in footfall with more than 140 million visitors in 2011.

Majid Al Futtaim Properties has four flagship shopping malls. Majid Al Futtaim Properties also owns nine hotels in the UAE and two in Bahrain, all of which are linked to the company’s shopping malls. The hotels’ strategic proximity to the company’s shopping malls promotes direct access to a wider international demographic and attracts more than 1.2 million guests annually. The company is currently in joint ventures to develop three master-planned communities in Oman, Lebanon and Sharjah, UAE.

Red tape costs businesses over $ 30 billion a year: CFIB supportive of federal action plan to reduce red tape burden

T

he Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB)

welcomed the announcement of the federal government’s red tape reduction plans, based upon the Red Tape Reduction Commission recommendations that were released in January.

“[The] announcement is a great start on the part of the government and great news for hard-working entrepreneurs all across Canada,” said CFIB’s Executive Vice President Laura Jones.“Small business owners should be growing the economy and creating jobs, not filling out useless paperwork, wading through cumbersome government processes and struggling to understand incomprehensible bureaucratic language.”

A number of government ministers announced specific regulatory reforms in their departments today demonstrating a commitment across government to reducing red tape. CFIB believes the government’s set of systemic recommendations to cut red tape will make the biggest difference. More specifically, CFIB is particularly excited about three recommendations: Requiring all regulatory departments and agencies to benchmark service standards, set goals for service improvement, and report on their progress in meeting these standards; Getting departments and agencies to measure the amount of paperwork on business, and take measures to reduce the administrative burden through the one-for-one rule; and Keeping the Auditor General informed on the progress made in reducing the regulatory administrative burden. “ Measuring the burden, setting service standards and implementing a system of ongoing oversight and accountability are key factors that can make a difference to small business owners, and it demonstrates an unprecedented level of engagement on the part of this government,” added Jones.“Obviously, we want to see how all of this goes, but it’s clear this government is serious about reducing red tape and making things easier for small business.”

A 2010 CFIB study, Prosperity Restricted by Red Tape, found that red tape at all levels of government costs businesses about $30.5 billion a year, or 1.9 per cent of Canada’s Gross Domestic Product.

As Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses, CFIB is Powered by Entrepreneurs™. Established in 1971, CFIB takes direction from more than 109,000 members in every sector nationwide, giving independent business a strong and influential voice at all levels of government and helping to grow the economy.

The “Street Smart Real Estate Appraiser� – Vision One of my recent articles focused on a “Get Educated� theme. The Appraisal Institute of Canada does require re-education of all appraisers in Canada, through their recertification program cycle. This is a key aspect to the profession which is constantly changing. Most appraisers take this opportunity to enhance areas of specialization within the property industry. You too can further your expertise in the real estate industry by becoming involved in continuing education, or similarly select one of the many qualified appraisers in Canada to consult with your property questions.

Getting educated is great, but it is no match to over 50 years of experience. I took the time of a local real estate expert who has just that amount of experience. Something I encourage my peers to do as often as the opportunity presents itself. Longtime experts in the real estate industry offer an invaluable contribution to the valuation of a property. It’s best to talk to these people, understand what they think, know and see, and ultimately get their “techniques�. The mission - become a “STREET SMART APPRAISER�!!

A real estate appraiser’s valuation technique I’ll give you is “Vision�!

Tony Continelli of PBG Homes emphasized this appraisal “technique�.

PBG Homes is a two generation successfully-run, family business built on integrity and core values that started in 1973 by Tony Continelli and with his son Anthony Continelli, joining him in 1999. Their approach to building custom homes with clients is the same approach as with their trades and suppliers everyday, and that is to work as a team. Each site is carefully chosen for convenience, comfort and beauty for you to enjoy. Their experience in small communities allows them to be selective about those sites where they build, ensuring that their artistry and quality craftsmanship is clearly evident.

One of Tony’s valuation techniques is having a vision of what could be done with a property. “Vision� as it relates to real estate could be defined as; t t t t

If you are looking at a property to purchase and you can’t clearly see a vision of how things could look in 5 to 10 years‌‌.ask yourself a key question – why are you buying this property? Ok‌.this might be a stretch, as no one has a crystal ball‌.but look again‌..is the vision somewhat clear? Maybe to find the vision you should spend several hours driving around the neighbourhood, call some of the for sale signs, talk to business people in the area, simple hang-out‌.does this help create a vision?

Remember, one of the key approaches to property appraisal is the Income Approach, which the basic net income capitalization method takes a current estimated net income assuming it is relatively stable for the next 20 years. )FODF UIF WJTJPO JNBHJOBUJPO DSFBUJWF TJEFT UP SFBM FTUBUF BQQSBJTBMT BSF PGUFO VOEFS MPPLFE BO BQQSBJTFS IBT UP OPU just understand a client’s vision but also has to judge that vision.

Downtown tax crunch, high commercial taxes keep the squeeze on Canada’s urban centres

D

owntown Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal continue to share the dubious reputation for having Canada’s highest commercial-toresidential tax ratios, all in excess of 4:1, according to a 2012 survey of property tax rates of major urban centres produced by the Altus Group for the Real Property Association of Canada (REALpac). But, as the report released today also found, the gap narrowed slightly for the fifth consecutive year, moving in a more favourable direction for the business environment in Vancouver and Toronto.

Montreal, on the other hand, is heading in the opposite direction. Its downtown commercial taxes, which are increasing at an alarming rate, will likely vault past Toronto’s by next year and are rapidly approaching Vancouver’s high levels.

“Even though the survey uncovered some improvement this year, with the exception of Montreal”, said Paul Morse, CEO REALpac,“we remain deeply concerned about the damaging impact that inequitable commercial-residential taxes have on city growth and its ability to attract business and jobs.”

“Our urban centres are vitally important and at the moment are expanding due to tenant demand and relatively low interest rates. High realty taxes are a barrier to business growth and in the long run, put a choke hold on investment in downtown office, hotel, apartment and retail property development”, explained Morse.

According to Morse, REALpac has long contended that a commercial-toresidential ratio of about 2:1 would support healthy growth, and could be achieved through gradual reductions in the commercial rate.

“Jobs are at the core of a thriving city economy”, added Morse.“With so many fundamental shifts taking place in our global economy, Canadian cities need to do what they can to accelerate business growth around where people want to live, not scare it away.”

In other findings, the annual survey showed that even though Winnipeg and Edmonton raised their ratio slightly, they still maintained the lowest ranking among municipalities surveyed. Calgary and Ottawa made significant improvements to their ratios, while Halifax, falling closer to the average, published subtle reductions to its ratio as well.

On an absolute tax basis, Calgary, Vancouver, Edmonton and Winnipeg have the lowest estimated property taxes per $1,000 of commercial assessment, while Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax have the highest. On the residential assessment side, Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton and Toronto have

Please say you saw it in The Commercial Investor

the lowest property taxes per $1000 of residential assessment, while Winnipeg, Ottawa, Montreal and Halifax have the highest.

REALpac’s website also points out that while most cities in Canada have moved to decrease commercial tax rates in the last 10 years, residential tax rates have declined at an even faster rate.

REALpac is Canada’s premier industry association for investment real property leaders. Our mission is to collectively influence public policy, to educate government and the public, and to ensure stable and beneficial real estate capital and property markets in Canada.

REALpac members currently own in excess of $180 Billion CAD in real estate assets located in the major centres across Canada.

Commercial Real Estate & Business Opportunities

Mortgages

New Lending Rules and Practices Are you a real estate investor that has run out of options for purchasing rental properties? Are you self-employed and successful in your career, yet cannot get a mortgage? You are not alone!

Having been in the mortgage business now for over 15 years, I have seen many new rules and regulations introduced by various governments. Some changes have worked well and others...not so well. The recent federal changes to borrowing/lending criteria involving cutting back loan-to-value (LTV) ratios from 85% to 80% and amortization periods from 30 to 25 years on insured mortgages has certainly impacted the industry. Of far greater impact and consequence are guidelines issued from the Office of Superintendent of Financial Institutions Canada (OSFI). OSFI has issued practices and procedure guidelines impacting all federallyregulated financial institutions on residential mortgages of 1 to 4 units and include home equity lines of credit. The impact is only starting to make itself felt as various financial institutions have re-worked and are re- working their lending practices and criteria.

The results are becoming dramatic and are beginning to significantly impact the industry.

One result of these changes is that many mortgage brokers have become challenged with finding appropriate financing for smaller investment properties. Lenders and other institutions have now virtually ended small rental property financing. Further, self- employed stated income or low documentation loans and lines of credit have been reduced to 65% (reference “income verification� and “non-conforming loan principles�). Institutional mortgage lending to self-employed investors has been dramatically affected.

Small real investors who have rental properties which were financed some years ago, may be looking at injecting additional cash into their properties for things like improvements and life-cycle repairs. With Banks no longer offering the financing that was available 5 years ago, much stress is now being created. We recently had a client (who is self-employed) who purchased 2 properties some 5 years ago. He wanted to put additional cash into the properties to improve them. However, he was not in a position to contribute his own additional cash equity into the property. Even though the property values have increased, and the investment has run very smoothly with principal loan amounts repaid as part of the amortized mortgage, the investor could not get more than 65% financing based on his specific circumstance. 5 years ago he received 95% LTV financing!

What is the solution to these new restrictions and limitations? The answer is private lending. There are no “rules� imposed on private lending. Pro Funds Mortgages has been focusing on private lending in the recent years. Interest costs are higher, but lending documentation and criteria is not regulated. Different private lenders set their own rules and lending criteria. Often, the strength of the real estate security is of greatest importance. If you are self-employed, or if you are buying a student rental, or if you are buying an investment or a home that needs renovations or may not be complete, or if you are buying in a region that may not be on the Banks list to lend on, or if this is an investment or rental property (large or small), Private lending may be the best approach. We can get the mortgage done. We have lenders that will lend up to 85% loan-to-value in most cases (and up to 90% on exceptions). Why let the banks deter your investment direction and activities. There is (almost) always a way. With the historically low interest rates of today, perhaps a business case can be made to invest with private funds at slightly higher interest rate.

It is certainly worth exploring.

If you are looking for a mortgage and cannot seem to get approved by our Banks than give this option a shot. On the other side, if you are an investor and have RRSPS and cash, this is your time to get involved in investing in mortgages as a lender. New doors are now opening for both borrowers and lenders.

Commercial lease agreements: Why landlords need lawyers

O

wnership of income-producing properties typically involves the negotiation of commercial leases with your tenant(s). This article explores a few of the considerations inherent in the negotiation and drafting of commercial lease agreements.

Covering off all the bases

Commercial leases are complex documents and in this article we can only skim the surface. You need to speak to a lawyer who understands this area of law. There are fundamental components of the lease which a solicitor should prepare/review to ensure it meets your practical and commercial expectations. Principally, you will want rental payments defined and broken into “base rent” and “additional rent.” Base rent is your money. This is the amount used to determine net income. Additional rent represents all of the expenses that may be shared by the tenant or paid directly for utilities such as electricity, water and gas and things like maintenance insurance and realty taxes. If you are thinking of a net-net lease this is critical. Have you ensured the lease clearly defines how any increases in rent during the lease term are calculated?

14G COM

Aside from the financial considerations noted above, commercial leases must also cover off any “special” requirements to prevent confusion going forward; as an example, use clauses or renewal terms. Tenants typically prefer leases with renewal options. Tenants typically also desire the ability to “assign” their lease as this affords them flexibility to sell their business. Any such provisions should give you broad discretion to vet any prospective assignee to ensure they would be a prudent and reliable tenant. The lease should make sure the tenant will pay any legal and/ or administrative costs incurred on any renewal or assignment of the lease.

Negotiation of the lease Landlords often have their standard form or “boiler-plate” commercial lease agreement which they present to prospective tenants for review prior to execution.

Savvy tenants will typically have retained a lawyer to review the document and offer proposed amendments. In a scenario where there will be a back-and-forth in respect of the ultimate wording – and particularly where the prospective tenant has retained a lawyer – I highly recommend hiring a solicitor to quarterback the negotiations. From my practice I have found landlords all-too willing to cut out provisions which could severely compromise them in the interests of not losing the tenant.

Conclusion It goes without saying that all warranties, representations and terms outlining the landlord/tenant relationship must be incorporated into the lease agreement. These documents can often run between 30 and 50 pages in length. It is far better for your commercial lease to be “too long” than “too short.” Sitting down with an experienced commercial lawyer to properly negotiate and draft your commercial lease at the front end can save you considerable aggravation down the line.

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 (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.
