Earlier this month, the Ontario government unveiled its housing action plan, designed to “unlock” the development of new dwellings to purchase or rent. According to the news release, the plan aims to give people “more choice in an effort to help bring down the cost of housing.” It’s classic supply and demand economics — the greater the supply, the lower the prices. “We’ve heard loud and clear from families across Ontario that finding housing that is affordable takes too long and costs too much,” said Steve Clark, Minister of Municipal Affairs and Housing. “After years of neglect by the former government, there is now a housing crisis in Ontario and the dream of ownership is out of reach for too many. Our plan will make it easier to build the right type of homes in the right places, giving Ontarians and their families more flexibility when looking for a home they can afford.” Homebuilders and developers are hopeful this new plan will remove barriers to providing more housing for the current and future residents of Ontario, said Joe Vaccaro, CEO of the Ontario Home Builders’ Association (OHBA). “A healthy housing system exists when a city or region has the right mix of housing choice and supply. The province’s Housing Supply Action Plan lays the groundwork for more homes to be built, which leads to more choice and affordability,” he said. OHBA recently worked with Ryerson University’s Centre for Urban Research and Land Development (CUR) and the Ontario Real Estate Association (OREA) to produce research showing that thousands of government-owned properties are underutilized and could be used to build a variety of housing options across the province.

ToDay’s real estate market challenges Michael DiPasquale
The last two years have been an interesting time for the Toronto area real estate market. In early 2017, prices were escalating rapidly and bidding wars were common. By that fall, new government rules, the mortgage stress test and higher interest rates had cooled the low-rise market. Last year, sales remained sluggish and GTA low-rise prices were down a modest four per cent. Although it’s still early in 2019, we are seeing regular traffic at our Dunpar sales centres. Home buyers are very interested, but hesitant as to whether or not they should go ahead and purchase. In my opinion, it’s a very good time to buy. Analysts are predicting a stable housing market, with modest price gains of around two per cent this year and no market crash. The Ontario economy remains healthy, there is good job growth, low unemployment, stable inflation and a recession seems unlikely. As inflation is currently below 2 per cent, we can expect interest rates to remain stable. Home prices have and will remain high. The issue is that in the 416 and in 905 areas such as Mississauga, Vaughan and Oakville, there is a land supply issue and this will be forever. 12 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
Another significant influence on the market is immigration - Toronto area is welcoming approximately 110,000 newcomers a year and all those people need somewhere to live. Condo sales have not been subject to the same fluctuations as the low-rise sector. That market has remained strong and prices have increased, as condos offered an affordable ownership alternative. But the price gap between highrise and low-rise prices is shrinking and now that millennials are partnering up and starting families, most don’t want to raise children in small condo suites. You may have heard about the ‘Missing Middle.’ This refers to mid-rise buildings, townhouses and stacked townhouses that bridge the gap between the high-rise and traditional detached housing forms. As an infill builder specializing in townhouses, Dunpar has realized there is a huge and growing need for this type of product that fills the niche between high-rise condos and detached homes. However, the approval process to allow for more townhouse development is slow and hasn’t kept pace with the demand. This type of housing can be easily integrated into residential blocks with single-family housing and can help cities achieve infill and density goals. Townhomes are among the most in-demand housing in the GTA, sought by buyers who want room to raise a family, or downsizers who want less maintenance but don’t want to sacrifice too much space.
There are others who simply don’t want to live in towers and prefer ground-related housing. The townhouse option provides sustainable living, particularly in locations close to transit such as Dunpar’s Streetsville Centre in Mississauga and Lakeshore Village in Etobicoke. Towns – especially back-to-back units – are more affordable than detached homes, yet still offer 1,500 to 2,000 sq. ft. of space with parking. In transitoriented locations such as these, cars aren’t a necessity – another benefit for young people that have little interest in driving or owning a vehicle - or older adults who don’t want to have to use the car to access services and shopping. Either way, two-car parking is still provided in all homes. The townhouse’s time has come. It’s a great solution for the challenges of the GTA housing market now and for the foreseeable future.

ADVICE | bIlD rEport
your top three questions, answered dave wilkes
On April 2, the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) launched its Building Answers public awareness campaign. The objective of the campaign is to demystify the development and home building process and to have a dialogue with residents about the housing challenges facing the region. I would like to take the opportunity to thank the hundreds of residents that submitted questions at BuildingAnswers.ca for us to answer over the past three weeks. Here are the top 3 questions. 1. How will the housing affordability challenge impact their ability to purchase a home? By far the largest number of questions we have received pertained to resident’s ability to afford a home in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA). Questions even extended into the challenges related to finding rental properties and the status of purpose-built rental building in the region. Questions were received from young and old, to single parents and single income families. Where means appeared to be a challenge to homeownership, we directed individuals to programs that exist to assist them and where means 14 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
was not an issue we informed residents to alternatives and considerations. The answer to the question on affordability is that for many people looking for a new home the solution relies on the ability of the GTA to fix the housing supply shortage in such a way that meets the housing demand of the 115,000 new people that come to
the region every year. In Canada, 68 per cent of people own their own home, meaning that in order to house the present and future population we need more than just homes for purchase. We need housing for rent, purposebuilt rental and social housing. The barriers are complex but to state the solution as plainly as possible, industry, government and
So, while residents of the GTA view cranes and graders as part of the problem, they are actually part of the solution as the industry builds to meet growth.
the public need to find ways to build more housing faster and to mitigate unnecessary delays and costs on new housing. 2. Why is there so much development in the GTA? This is a question that was asked in a variety of forms – from why is there so much development in my
neighbourhood, to why are cities growing so fast. The answer is that the GTA is a desirable place to live from a quality-of-life and economic perspective and it is growing by about 115,000 people per year. It’s a combination of natural growth, rural to urban migration, migration from other parts of Canada and immigration from other countries. These new residents need places to live, work and play. The region already has a housing shortfall. Since 2006, the GTA fell short of the provincial Growth Plan forecast by approximately 100,000 new homes and this issue has also been exacerbated by continued strong housing demand. So, while residents of the GTA view cranes and graders as part of the problem, they are actually part of the solution as the industry builds to meet growth. 3. Why so dense? Why are new communities so much denser that decades ago was a question that was asked a lot. Many of the questions came from a nostalgic place as the questions started with: “When I
was young” type statement” to “I just want a little elbow room”. This question can be answered in two parts. First, government regulations like the Growth Plan required development to be denser which has had a tremendous impact of the type of housing getting built. Secondly, land values have escalated significantly since 2006 requiring more efficient land use in order to keep new housing prices to levels that the average family can afford. Again, thank you for taking the time to submit your questions to us. Please keep them coming and we will continue to answer them the best we can.

a Once-in-a-lifetime lifestyle opportunity is cOming sOOn tO king west The Well is one of the most ambitious mixed-used endeavours in Canada, a bold reflection of Toronto’s energy and diversity and an extension of the urban vibrancy of King West. Bordering Front, Spadina and Wellington, The Well brings a unique mix of shops, restaurants, fresh-food markets, work spaces and residences, 16 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
spanning seven acres and three million square feet of culture, entertainment and community in downtown Toronto’s west side. With construction of the transformative community already well under way, Tridel, Canada’s leader in condominium living, is preparing to launch the most anticipated condominium lifestyle
opportunity in the city, in just a few weeks. “The Well is a choreographed mix of urban experiences, dynamic architecture and interconnected public spaces. There is simply no other development that offers this breadth and scale of integrated uses,” says Jim Ritchie, Executive Vice President, Sales
and Marketing at Tridel. “Residents will experience the full spectrum of urban living without needing to leave the community. And when they do leave, they’ll find themselves in the middle of one of Toronto’s most dynamic and energetic neighborhoods.” The condominiums by Tridel at The Well will offer residents two distinct living opportunities. The Classic Series I and II consists of two towers along Front Street at 38 storeys and 22 storeys respectively. A boutique, 14-storey mid-rise known as the Signature
Series will be located along the revitalized and historic Wellington Street. Each of the three buildings will feature Tridel’s unwavering commitment to quality and sustainability, as well as its own independent amenity spaces, including party rooms, outdoor terraces with pools, fitness centres and more. With a pedestrian-centered focus, Tridel at The Well sets the stage for incredible experiences and responds to some of the strongest desires of downtown Toronto today: walkability,
community-building, the ability to create connections while seamlessly blending old and new. More than a collection of buildings, The Well is an amenity-rich, urban streetscape and a vital, fully functioning environment that puts the things people want most within easy reach. Perfectly situated between King West and the Entertainment District, Tridel at The Well offers established connections to public transit, airports, trains, buses and highways. nexthome.ca 17
Materials used in the design were carefully considered to reflect the surrounding neighbourhoods, pulling visual cues from the existing architecture along King Street West. Multiple architects and visions came together to tell a cohesive architectural story that purposefully moves from red brick to wood to concrete as The
Well flows west to east towards the financial district. Overhead, a soaring glass canopy responds to the unique seasonal diversity of Toronto, sheltering pedestrians as they move through The Well. This allows for year-round access to green spaces and the al fresco shopping and dining experience that people crave. The highly
anticipated launch of Tridel at the Well will include 400 suites in Classic Series I, the first of Tridel’s two urban condominium towers on Front Street, and 98 suites in the Signature Series boutique residence on Wellington. Register at tridel.com for more information and regular updates.

UP IN SMOKE CANNABIS AND THE CONDO by MARK LAURIOLA LL.B. & JAYSON SCHWARZ LL.M.
JAYSON SCHWARZ
So now it’s the end of the day. You lean back in your big chair. You light that big fat doobie you’ve been thinking about all day at work and now you can really chill. Wait! There is a knock on the door. You get up to answer it and it’s condo security. “I am sorry ma’am, there is a rule, no smoking of cannabis in this building.” Oh my, you own the unit, yet… The Cannabis Act (the “Act”) came into effect on Oct. 17, 2018. The purpose of the Act is to strictly regulate, restrict access, and legalize cannabis in Canada. It creates a regulatory and legal framework for controlling the production, possession, sale and distribution of cannabis in Canada. However, it is up to the provinces and territories to determine how cannabis is distributed and sold within their jurisdictions. In Ontario, you must be 19 years of age and older to buy, possess, use, and grow recreational cannabis. You are able to have a maximum of 30 grams of dried cannabis in public at any time and allowed to grow up to four cannabis plants per residence. The real question is how does this apply to ownership and use of your condominium unit? Not surprisingly, there are different interests at stake. On the one hand, there are the unit 20 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
owners and residents who believe it is part of their “quiet enjoyment” to be able to smoke in their units and common areas. On the other hand, there are those who believe smoking would impede on their “quiet enjoyment” insofar as it
creates a nuisance due to secondhand smoke and odours. There are many safety and other arguments for and against cannabis use. The answer for each condominium board will be based …continued on page 22

on the democratic choice of the owners in the building expressed through the Board. If the owners decide they want a cannabis-free building, the condo corporation has two options. First, the rules may be amended. This is the easier option. Pursuant to Section 58(1) of the Condominium Act, 1998 (“the Condo Act”), the board may make, amend or repeal rules for the use of the units, the common elements or the assets of the corporation. This is done in two ways. Subsection 58(1)(a) allows for the promotion of safety, security or welfare of the owners, the property and the assets. Subsection 58(1)(b) allows for the prevention of unreasonable interference with the use and enjoyment of the units, common elements or the assets. Reasonableness must prevail according to Subsection 58(2) and one may argue the rules would be consistent with the Condo Act. As per Subsection 58(7), a rule becomes effective 30 days after the board has given notice of the rule to the unit owners. This is true 22 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
unless the unit owners requisition a meeting within the 30 days after notice was provided. Second, the declaration may be amended. Pursuant to Subsection 7(4)(b) of the Condo Act, the declaration may contain conditions or restrictions on the occupation and use of the units and common elements. One may suggest restrictions on recreational cannabis would fall under this provision. However, this is not easy to achieve. According to Subsection 107(2)(e), the condo corporation may amend the declaration if 80 per cent of unit owners approve and consent to the proposed amendment. WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
Condo corporations have the choice to further regulate the use of recreational cannabis within their units and common elements. When buying a condo unit, this is something to consider. In the end, if you are a smoker of any kind, you need to really look into whether you can use a unit you buy in the way you want.
Having reviewed Status Certificates, it is becoming commonplace that rules are being amended to prohibit smoking and cultivating recreational cannabis. There is normally a medical cannabis exemption. However, not all Status Certificates and condo corporations are the same. How important this is depends on where you fall in the competing interests spectrum previously mentioned. Always ensure your offer includes the opportunity for your lawyer to review the Status Certificate. Happy home hunting!!!

T.O. CONDO MARKET IS IT HOT OR COLD? BEN MYERS
During my presentation at a recent real estate event hosted by Meridian Credit Union, I outlined the state of the Toronto housing market, with a specific focus on the new-home market. In one of my slides it showed that at the end of 2018, there was a record number of apartment units (condo and rental tenure) under construction in the Toronto 24 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
Census Metropolitan Area (CMA). I mentioned that there was a record high absorption figure last year: 99.8 per cent of a new condos completed in the CMA were already sold at occupancy according to CMHC, the highest level in over 30 years. By comparison, the Vancouver CMA was at 91 per cent, the Montreal CMA at 73 per cent and the Ottawa CMA at 64 per cent last year. With almost all of the new condo projects sold out at the time of completion, the number of standing inventory units fell to a 30-year low as well.
With those rosy figures in mind, Urbanation released their Q1-2019 data in early May, which showed that per-construction new condo sales volumes hit a six-year low. The condo data firm also indicated that there were only eight new projects launches in the first quarter (1,829 units), which was a 10-year low. That compares to 4,053 units in the same quarter last year and 6,293 in the first quarter of 2017. This begs the question, were developers not launching due to poor sales, or were they not launching because they don’t have …continued on page 26

During my Meridian presentation, I showed a slide with data on the average prices of the most popular new condo units on Buzzbuzzhome over the past five quarters in the City of Toronto. The price jumped 17 per cent yearover-year to $1,176 per sq. ft., but actually fell 1 per cent quarterly. It is hard to tell if the market is hot or cold. My firm, in partnership with Batory Management, released our latest Q1-2019 GTA High Rise Land Insights Report in late April, which showed the median price of high-density lands that traded in the first quarter was sold at $98 per-buildable-sq.-ft., compared to $98 per-buildablesq.-ft. in Q4-2018, and $98 in Q1-2018.

are staying exactly the same. Are they staying the same because they don’t expect new condo price inflation in the coming years, or are they lower because their other costs have skyrocketed, specifically construction costs and government fees? With new condos selling for upwards of $1,200 per sq. ft., investors will need to rent their units for $6 per-sq.-ft. to break even ($3,600 per month for 600 sq. ft.), a number I thought was crazy at the start of 2018. But, after a year of major rental increases, data from Rentals.ca on postal code M5V in the Entertainment District shows that studio units are already at $5.50 per sq. ft. in rent and rising. Clearly the investor economics and lower return metrics is weighing on the minds of some would-be private landlords. On the other hand, a few recent condo launches sold out in a matter of days. So again, hot or cold?
Only time will tell, but with tougher mortgage rules that make it more difficult for firsttime buyers, record immigration, and solid job growth, there will continue to be tremendous upward pressure on rents. Make sure you work with an experienced realtor to run you through the numbers before plunking down $700,000 for a 600-sq.-ft. rental property. Good luck.

Bijou on Bloor Brings mid-rise jewel to Bloor West Village The aptly named Bijou on Bloor will bring a new residential gem to the heart of fashionable Bloor West Village. The 12-storey boutique condominium from Plaza will provide intimate mid-rise living close to a world of shopping choices just minutes from the subway. The project helps fill the ‘missing middle’ in the neighbourhood – the type of sought-after multi-unit housing that fills the gap between detached low-rise homes and high-rise living. “It’s a little jewellery box on Bloor West, the fashion district of Canada. It’s an exciting location,” says Scott McLellan, Plaza vice 28 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
president. “We’ve worked with the community and city. We wanted to make sure to maintain the integrity of the community and didn’t want a large building.” Quadrangle architects have designed a contemporary, sophisticated building for Plaza that blends well with its surrounding neighbourhood. Good things come in small packages and Bijou on Bloor will be no exception, with beautifully designed interiors, private terraces and the type of first-class amenities you’d find in a fivestar hotel. Most of the suites will face north and look out over the greenery and trees of the Humber
River and surrounding residential neighbourhood; some suites will face south with views of Lake Ontario and the CN Tower. “It’s really unique, no question about it,” says McLellan. “You’re in an existing vibrant neighbourhood but close to the downtown core.” In just 15 minutes on the subway, Bijou residents can be downtown. There are plenty of reasons to linger in Bloor West Village itself. The charming Toronto west neighbourhood is chock full of mom-and-pop shops, specialty stores selling food, fashion and more, eateries and pubs. It’s a compact, walkable neighbourhood that’s easy to explore on foot and
High Park is a short distance to the east. Bijou on Bloor will certainly appeal to mature buyers living in surrounding neighbourhoods such as High Park, Old Mill, Swansea, Runnymede and The Kingsway who want to downsize from large homes to a smaller, maintenancefree option. Plaza is also attracting interest from younger professionals who grew up in the neighbourhood and want to move back there. The suites are generously sized, averaging 900 to 1,000 square feet and “that doesn’t exist anywhere else in the city,” according to McLellan. “We chatted with one couple with a 20-something daughter,” McLellan says. “She’s going to move into Bijou on Bloor with her fiancé and in five or six years, they’ll move into her parents’ house and the parents will move into the condo. We are seeing a lot of decisions like that.”
Plaza is catering to two different markets with Bijou on Bloor. One is the buyer who wants a onebedroom suite with den that starts in the high $600s. Even at that price point, buyers will receive a Miele appliance package. For most two-bedroom and larger suites, priced up to $3 million, all finishes will be of superior quality and buyers will receive Wolf 36-inch ranges and SubZero refrigerators. “People are really impressed with the appliance packages,” says McLellan. When planning the amenities, Plaza took into consideration the feedback from informal meetings with potential purchasers who will have resale homes in the area. As a result, Bijou on Bloor will have a beautiful indoor pool with an adjoining indoor-outdoor terrace on the second-floor with views of the neighbourhood. Other amenities include a fitness centre, steam room, lounge with bar,
private dining room with catering kitchen and 24-hour concierge. There are also three high-speed elevators to whisk residents to their suites. For more information visit www.pureplaza.com/bijou-bloor

NatioNal Poetry MoNth CoMMeMorated by toroNto’s New Poet Laureate a.F. Moritz at the Poet CoNdos In the first appearance of his tenure, Toronto’s newest Poet Laureate A.F. Moritz delivered a public reading alongside three young poets at The Poet presentation centre in Leslieville on April 24. An Evening of Poetry Readings is a joint initiative brought to life by East End Arts and Fieldgate Urban, with a timely connection to National Poetry Month. The free event was designed to help shift perceptions about what urban development means for the arts and cultural sub-communities within Toronto. “East End Arts is thrilled to partner on this event with Toronto’s newest Poet Laureate, A.F. Moritz, and with Fieldgate Urban. It’s a great example of how developers can work with artists and arts groups to create necessary space for arts and culture in our communities,” says Shana Hillman, Executive Director of East End Arts. “We can’t think of a better way to celebrate the vibrant literary voices of east Toronto, and how fitting that it falls during National Poetry Month!” A.F. Mortiz was appointed Toronto’s sixth Poet Laureate in early March, succeeding Anne Michaels. A University of Toronto professor, Moritz’s many accomplishments include the 2009 Griffin Poetry Prize and the 2013 Raymond Souster Award. The Toronto poet has also published more than 20 books of poetry. “I’m proud to present three young poets whose work will 30 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019

inspire anyone, whether inside or outside the vibrant Toronto literary community,” says Moritz, Toronto’s sixth Poet Laureate. “Each of them expresses vital aspects of Toronto’s diversity, and the dynamism of its poetry. I’m proud that Mercedes Killeen, Peter Norman, and Lily Wang have agreed to join me in the first of what I hope will be an ongoing series, The Poet Laureate Presents, discovering and offering poetry in every part of our city.” The event took place at The Poet presentation centre in Leslieville – a hub for the east end’s upcoming development, The Poet Condos. “The eclectic flair of Leslieville is a big part of what makes
The Poet Condos a fantastic living opportunity and the arts and cultural ambiance of this neighbourhood is a big part of that,” says Dov Seidenfeld, Principal at Fieldgate Urban. “We’re excited to host Toronto’s newest literary ambassador and talented community members at The Poet, and we look forward to bridging the gap between urban growth and the inherent vibrancy found in Leslieville’s arts and cultural circles.”
The Poet presentation centre is located at 1170 Queen Street East. Visit www.ThePoetCondos. com for more information.

How new homes stack up and exceed expectations wHen compared to resale dwellings
sue di ilio
Resale or new construction? When purchasing a home, whether it be a condominium suite, a townhome or a detached home, you may find yourself at a crossroad when deciding between purchasing a newly built home or an existing resale home. The choice you’re faced with can often be confusing, and for some, this can slow down the decision-making process. Undoubtedly, resale homes are in direct competition with the homebuilding industry, but there are many advantages of buying new which are often overlooked. Here are a few of them....
1 2
3
No Bidding Wars – Bidding wars have become the norm in the resale world. New-home builders of highrise, midrise or lowrise projects offer a fabulous variety and you won’t have to enter into a competition to purchase. You get to choose the exact location of your home without having to compete with other buyers. New-Home Warranties – Not available with most older resale homes, a Tarion warranty, and manufacturers’ warranties on specific items in your home, protect your investment. Warranties cover workmanship and materials, and the structure of the building. Tarion’s pre-delivery inspection gives all homebuyers an opportunity to make a list of items that need tweaking before they move in, and covers major structural deficiencies for up to seven years. Convenience - These days, time is a precious commodity. With a new home, you choose your own fixtures and design elements, including flooring, faucets, and colour options and they will be installed and ready to go before you move into your new home. No waiting or renovation mess to worry about. …continued on page 40

New Construction is Better Built – The Ontario Building Code is constantly being improved and updated. Homebuilders are required by law to include these new standards in your new home or condominium suite. As a result, today’s homes include products that offer the latest advances in the way of technology, design, convenience and energy efficiency. Latest in Design Concepts & Finishes – Most evident in ceiling heights, windows, kitchen layouts and bathroom designs, today’s interiors are more livable and cater to your family’s needs. Builders are constantly evolving their floorplans and features to adapt to current lifestyle trends. Everything is New – Move in to a new home and everything — your bathroom, your kitchen, your appliances, your flooring — is new! It’s a fresh start for you and your family. Low Maintenance – More and more, interior and exterior products and finishes being developed for new homes are geared to low-maintenance living. No need to spend your valued spare time repainting, replacing or resealing. Your Choice – Today’s flexible floorplans are designed to improve your lifestyle and enjoyment of your home. Everything is built to your specifications and needs, not someone else’s. Time to Plan And Save – As a result of occupancy and closing dates being much later than resale has to offer, it allows you to take the time to make plans for your move and to save for the necessary funds needed for closing day. Master-Planned Communities - New communities have become more thoughtful regarding parkland, integrated bike paths and walkways, recreation and sustainability. They are no longer built just for the shelter of families. Better Financial Packages – Often incorporated as part of the marketing of the new community, builders ensure that the various lenders are generous with the programs that they offer you. A discount on current rates is commonplace in the new home industry.

EmpirE CommunitiEs offers Co-op programs for students
Empire Communities, one of North America’s largest homebuilders, has partnered with McKinnon Park Secondary School to give high school students valuable work experience in the trades through the Empire Co-Op Program. This program provides students from the Caledonia school with handson experience as they participate in different stages of new-home construction at two of Empire’s master-planned communities, Avalon in Caledonia and Wyndfield in Brantford. Since February 2019, a group of five students have been working at each site and will continue with their co-op until the end of the school year. Empire is also proud to present the Empire Communities Technological Award – a $1,000 scholarship – to one of the graduating students in the co-op program who excels and exceeded expectations. This is intended to help support hard-working students who have a passion for the construction industry and will be pursuing a 42 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
career in a related field. “At Empire, we understand that there are unique learning experiences that only a co-op placement could provide, and we are thrilled about this collaborative partnership,” says Maria Pontes, Health and Safety Manager at Empire Communities. “Working with McKinnon Park, we have created an ideal co-op model that will give students the greatest opportunity for future growth.” There are many unique programs offered to students at McKinnon Park Secondary School, such as the Specialist High Schools Major (SHSM) in hospitality, green industries, and/or construction. The SHSM program provides students with a red seal on their Ontario Secondary School diploma, noting the completion of specific graduation requirements. “McKinnon Park appreciates our partnership with Empire Communities, which provides students with various experiential learning opportunities that will benefit them now and in the
future. We look forward to future opportunities with Empire that will continue to engage and benefit students,” says John Gerritsen, Senior Construction and Cooperative Education Teacher at McKinnon Park Secondary School. In 2011-2012, Empire offered a co-op program to local Breslau high school students who participated in the construction of a home in our Riverland community. As Empire continues to build in new communities across Southwestern Ontario, there will be more opportunities to implement co-op programs like these in the future. Empire Communities is a residential builder/developer involved in all sectors of the new homebuilding industry, including both low-rise and high-rise built forms. Since its inception in 1993, Empire has built over 15,000 new homes and condos. Today, Empire is one of the largest homebuilders in North America with current communities in Toronto, southwestern Ontario and the Southern United States.

BILD A PHENOMENAL RESOURCE FOR NEW CONDO BUYERS
BARBARA LAwLOR
New home and condominium buyers in Ontario are wise to do their “homework” before signing on the dotted line. This includes knowing exactly where they stand when they purchase new. One of the many invaluable resources for pertinent information is BILD, the Building and Land Development Association. This progressive organization recently created an innovative interactive website called BuildingAnswers.ca. The association invites people to ask 46 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
questions about the building and land development industry in the Greater Toronto Area – and with the amount of construction going on, there are surely questions. BILD’s commitment is to answer honestly, factually and openly. The website has many frequently asked questions already answered, such as: • How do parks and public spaces benefit from new housing and developments? • What makes up the cost of a new home or condominium? • How does new housing and development support public infrastructure? • How is land for housing developments chosen? • Does the home building and land development industry have a code of ethics? • Are environmentally friendly homes being developed in the GTA? • What laws and regulations govern the home building and development industry? • I found one question in particular fascinating: “Do we really need all of the condominium and other housing developments being built in the GTA?” The short answer is YES! The more detailed answer is that last year, the number of new homes and condos was about 100,000 short of what the Ontario Growth Plan set out in 2006. The Ontario Ministry of Finance
estimates that by 2041, the GTA’s population will rise to 9.7 million from 6.9 million today. That amounts to about 115,000 new residents every year. We already have a housing shortage, so you get the picture. Another thing BuildingAnswers.ca helps new home and condo buyers do is to put things into perspective. For example, provincial government policies and regulations, along with municipal governments’ city plans and bylaws determine the pace, scale and location of development – NOT developers and homebuilders. Consumer demand plays a role as well. The overall picture is complex. You can see why it is a challenge for developers and builders to realize their original plans. We all have to work together to ensure sufficient housing and public institutions such as schools and hospitals can handle the ongoing population rises. We also need commuting infrastructure, which is always a challenge. Industry professionals are working hard to accommodate these needs by building communities and homes, and by investing in infrastructure, transit, schools and roads. These are just some of the questions that are answered on the website. As someone who is purchasing or thinking of purchasing, you must have questions. According to BILD, “Our goal is to provide you with accurate information on how the building and land development 48 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
industry is working with residents, communities and the governments to build a livable GTA for all.” So, make BILD one of your research resources. Remember, that’s BuildingAnswers.ca Barbara Lawlor is president and CEO of Baker Real Estate Incorporated, winner of the pinnacle 2017 Riley Brethour Award from BILD, and an in-demand columnist and speaker. A member of the Baker team since 1993, she oversees the marketing and sales of condominium developments in the GTA and overseas. Keep current with The Baker Blog at blog.bakerrealestate.com

better living comes to whitby with the launch of Park vista Enjoy better living and breath in the fresh country air and the gaze at endless vistas of greenspace at Park Vista. Launching this May by two of the GTA’s most reputed builders – Fieldgate Homes and Paradise Developments – Park Vista is the first community in Whitby to be 50 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
surrounded by lush greenspaces and scenic views from every direction and offer purchasers better living. Finding the perfect home isn’t just about the neighbourhood but the ease of maintaining a healthy and active lifestyle. Nestled alongside acres of permanent
green space, Park Vista is only minutes from the pristine Whitby shoreline featuring 14 kilometres of scenic waterfront nature trails, marinas, and an expansive boardwalk. Enjoy leisurely activities such as boating, canoeing, and kayaking alongside 68 kilometres of recreational trails,
127 playgrounds and more than 950 acres of lush, protected parklands. Offering exquisite semidetached homes from the mid$500s, Park Vista is also the only community in Whitby to offer Luxury Plus homes featuring nineft. ceiling heights, 10-ft. coffered/ tray ceilings in master bedrooms, hardwood flooring, granite kitchen countertops, extended upper kitchen cabinets, freestanding soaker tubs in ensuite bathrooms, and oak staircases. Each home will also be offered in both contemporary and traditional elevations. One study by the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public and Bringham and Women’s Hospital found that living in or near green spaces resulted in
women, in particular, living longer with improved mental health. And even though men were not commissioned for the study, the results determined that living outside a busy urban setting helps to promote lifelong health and wellbeing, as reported by Global News. Residents at Park Vista are close to key social and recreational amenities, including a variety of both private and public schools, sport/entertainment facilities, and a variety of retail establishments. Park Vista is also just minutes from the new Hwy. 412, which links to both Hwys. 401 and 407 for easy commuting.

Freehold ownership Freehold means permanent and absolute tenure of land or property with freedom of full use and control of the land and buildings on it, subject to any rights of the Crown, local land-use bylaws and any other restrictions in place at the time of purchase
Adjustable-rate and fixed rate mortgages There are generally two types of conventional mortgages – a fixed-rate and an adjustablerate mortgage. An adjustablerate mortgage means the interest rate can change over the term of the loan. A fixedrated mortgage simply means that the interest rate stays the same through the entire term of the mortgage and is “locked in”.
Assessed value
In addition to the actual price of a home, there are also closing costs, which will typically make up about two to five percent of the purchase price, not including the down payment. Examples of closings costs include the mortgage processing costs, title insurance, and excise tax, and legal fees.
The percentage of your gross monthly income that housingrelated payments (mortgage, property taxes and heating) eats up. Depending on your situation, to qualify for a mortgage, your GDSR should be 39 per cent (or less) of your gross monthly income.
This is how much a home is worth according to a public tax assessor who makes this determination in order to figure out how much city or state tax the owner owes.
Closing
Condo ownership
Condominium ownership is real estate that is independently owned and sellable, but the owners of the individual units also collectively own the common areas, amenities and utilities which are managed collectively by the owners as outlined in the Ontario Condominium Act.
Gross debt service ratio
Closing refers to the meeting that takes place where the sale of the property is finalized. At the closing, buyers and sellers sign the final documents, and the buyer makes the down payment and pays closing costs. It is advisable to have a lawyer facilitate closing.
Debt to service ratio
Amortization
This process combines the interest and principal together in an established schedule of payment installments, rather than simply paying off interest at the start, which helps build home equity early on.
Closing costs
REAL ESTATE GLOSSARY
This amount shows the ratio of your household’s debt payments to gross household income. Banks look at this when assessing how much money to loan you.

Tax informaTion you need to know if you buy or sell a home Even though tax season has officially has passed, Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) has information to help you if you plan to buy or sell a home in the future. PrinciPal residence exemPTion
When you sell your principal residence, did you know that any profit (capital gain) may be exempt from taxes? In fact, if your home was your primary residence for every year that you owned it, you do not have to pay tax on the capital gain. Your principal residence can be any of the following: • a house, cottage or condominium • an apartment in an apartment building or a duplex • a trailer, mobile home, or houseboat
In order for a property to qualify as your principal residence: • You must own, or jointly own the property. • You, your current or former spouse or common-law partner, or any of your children must have lived in the property at some time during the year. To benefit from the principal residence exemption you must report the sale appropriately on your income tax and benefit return. How you do so can vary depending on whether the property you sold was your principal residence for the entire time you owned it. Only one property can be designated as a principal residence per tax year per family unit. A family unit includes you, your current or former spouse (or common-law partner) and any children under the age of 18.
Homebuyers’ amounT
You can claim the homebuyers’ amount of up to $5,000 on your income tax and benefit return for a particular year if both of the following apply: • you or your spouse or commonlaw partner acquired a qualifying home; and • you did not live in another home owned by you or your spouse or common-law partner in the year of acquisition or in any of the four preceding years (first-time homebuyer). You do not have to be a firsttime homebuyer if you are eligible for the disability tax credit or you acquired the home for the benefit of a related person who is eligible for the disability tax credit. Eligible homebuyers can complete line 369 of Schedule 1 of their income tax and benefit return. …continued on page 60

You may be eligible to participate in the Home Buyers’ Plan which allows you to withdraw funds from your registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) to buy or build a qualifying home for yourself. Budget 2019 proposes to increase the Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawal limit to $35,000, to provide firsttime homebuyers with greater access to their RRSP savings when purchasing a home. This amount is available for withdrawals made after March 19, 2019. Buyers have up to 15 years to repay the amounts they withdraw. To qualify for the Home Buyers’ Plan, you have to meet these two conditions: • you are a first-time homebuyer • you have a written agreement to buy or build a qualifying home for yourself You are considered a first-time homebuyer if, in the preceding four-year period, you did not live in a home that you or your spouse or common-law partner owned1. 60 New Home + Condo Guide | May 11–25, 2019
You must intend to live in the qualifying home as your principal residence within one year of buying or building it.

The purchase or construction must be done to allow a person with a disability to live in a home that is more accessible or better suited to their needs.
If you are a qualifying individual (65 years of age or older at the end of 2017 or eligible for the disability tax credit) or an eligible individual claiming certain tax credits for a qualifying individual, you may be able to claim eligible expenses paid for renovations that make your dwelling more accessible. sTay connecTed
