We are slowly coming out of a pandemic and we’re slowly coming into the beautiful weather of spring. With both of these circumstances come good days where you really think you are making progress and can see the light ahead, and days where you think you are stuck in a time loop. As with many things in life, patience is the key, however tough it may be (that’s what wine is for!) People who are in the market for a new home are also having to be patient; dealing with many other buyers and a low supply means that you may have to wait a bit longer until you complete your sale. There is help on the way, as I have been hearing buzz about many exciting new projects coming to the market this year, all over the Lower Mainland. One thing that may be important to you is the walkability of your perfect neighbourhood. In this issue we take a look at our region’s current walkable places, and also those that are up-and-coming, providing new walkable places to live in the years to come. Being able to walk to meet your daily needs adds increases health, overall well-being, and is better for the environment, so consider this on your list of new dream home attributes. Happy springtime! Please read on, because we have a magazine full of great advice, interesting perspectives and amazing options for your perfect next home. Thanks for letting us be part of your homebuying journey!

A report by Sotheby’s International Realty Canada shows an upswing in the volume of international enquiries on luxury property listings in Vancouver this year so far. Clearly the underlying demand by foreign buyers has not dissipated.

A series of Emerging Site Planning Ideas have been developed for the Jericho Lands. These ideas are based on the community feedback MST Corporation and the Canada Lands received during Phase One of the planning process and the early stages of Phase Two, as well as stakeholder priorities, City objectives and policies, and the landowners’ aspirations. The Emerging Site Planning Ideas are intended to provide input into the development of a preliminary site concept for the lands. You can learn about the Emerging Site Planning Ideas by reading the Discussion Guides on the Jericho Lands website. The themes

Format Market – April 1st The East Van Easter Event presented by Format by Cressey was a wonderful celebration of local businesses and spring. On Thursday, April 1st, this fun community event brought out many couples and families, procuring organic eggs from Coligny Creek, fresh-cut flowers from Granville Island Florist, and baked goodies from Flourist. A prized Easter flower arrangement was given to the guest who purchased a carton of eggs and found the golden egg! The purpose of the event was to host a socially distanced Easter activity that would allow locals to come and collect items that they could enjoy all weekend with their families.

COVER STORY

REVIVE WELLNESS AWAKENS HERE It’s like nothing you’ve seen before on Vancouver’s prestigious Westside: elevated terrace residences with a distinctive character and outlook. Introducing Revive, the first of four communities within Belford Properties’ Wellside Collection that’s founded on the belief wellness matters and true fulfilment is rooted in the home. Every aspect, every detail of these exquisite residences is meticulously curated to create a tranquil, luxurious space that rejuvenates spirit and soul. ELEVATED DESIGN

Inside and out, Revive blends the elegant simplicity of Japanese and Scandinavian design into a look you simply won’t find elsewhere. Kitchens are truly a chef’s delight, opulent with integrated appliances, 16 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

modern champagne-bronze hardware, and contemporary quartz countertops. The island becomes a dramatic focal point with vertical ribs of wood creating a rich texture that gives a sense of movement that pays homage to a sparkling water feature just outside in the central courtyard. Ensuites are resplendent in spa-inspired marble-like walls and flooring plus frameless-glass shower and backlit mirror. After all, this is where you begin and end your day, so it should be suitably luxurious. At Revive, even a simple staircase elevates functional necessity into an artform. Rather than the standard balustrade, a trellis of floor-toceiling steel railings creates a striking visual and intriguing shadow play throughout the day as sunshine passes through a bank of skylights above.

SO MUCH MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE

Intrigued? Well there’s even more to set Revive apart. Wellness is invisibly woven into the very fabric of life here. “Revive is the first and only coldformed steel-frame townhome development in Vancouver,” says Jacky Chan, president of BakerWest Real Estate, adding that the air conditioning and filtration system in every suite is the highest residential grade available. “Which means a quieter, safer home for everyone.” He’s also particularly delighted by buyer response to Revive’s robust water purification systems. “Each unit has filtered water throughout — even in the showers — plus a fourstage filter for drinking water. And the water features outside aren’t

only for aesthetics — they’re actually a comprehensive stormwater management system that minimizes the impact of rainwater runoff on the city sewer system. So it’s a triple win. Homeowners, the City, and the environment — everyone benefits.” LOCATION IS EVERYTHING

And just in case you need a final enticement, there’s Revive’s location at West 52 Avenue and Ash Street meaning you’re close to… well, close to everything. The Canada Line is an easy, five-minutes stroll away. Oakridge Mall, Winston Churchill

IB Secondary plus three highly regarded elementary schools and Langara University are close by, and as a bonus, the Langara Golf Course is directly across the street. Life is looking good. The Revive presentation centre is coming soon. Private walkthroughs appointments will be available starting April 24th.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PROFILE

MARPOLE Marpole is a mostly residential neighbourhood on the southern edge of the City of Vancouver. Its borders are Angus Drive to the west, 57th Avenue to the north, Ontario Street to the east and the Fraser to the south. It has seen much change over the years, largely due to the construction of the Oak Street Bridge and the Arthur Laing Bridge, leading to the southern suburbs via Highway 99 and Vancouver International Airport, respectively.

THE VIBE:

LIFESTYLE:

MEET THE NEIGHBOURS:

This neighbourhood has a strong sense of history, particularly within its aging population. Archaeologists have found evidence that Marpole was inhabited as far back as 3500 B.C. This is also one of Vancouver’s oldest settlements, which was called “Eburne Station” in 1860. The area received another boost when the Lulu railway and the BC Electric interurban train were built in 1908, increasing its accessibility to and from other areas of the Lower Mainland.

The 2011 census recorded Marpole’s population as 23,832 and the median age as 41.6. Because this neighbourhood is a high-traffic area, it’s less expensive than most areas of the city, and students and seniors are taking advantage of the prices here, as well as many new Canadian. There are also several seniors’ homes in the neighbourhood. The area appeals to the “day trippers” and “night owls” who enjoy the proximity to not only the downtown core but also the vibrancy of nearby

18 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

Marpole is a juxtaposition of contradictions: not only does the combination of young students and senior citizens contribute to this feeling, but there so does the pairing of quiet residential areas dotted with ample greenspace with the major arterials that run through the city. Plans to bridge the areas that feel somewhat cut off from each other due to being bisected by busy streets are in the works.

Richmond. Marpole is an eclectic mix of residents that have come together to form a real community. IN THE AREA:

The shopping in Marpole is along the Granville corridor, and although it is mostly smaller, independently owned shops, they are also some larger

chains stores here. The lower mainland’s oldest community centre, Marpole Oakridge Community Centre, is located in this neighbourhood, too. There is also plenty of greenspace in Marpole: Winona Park has three terraced fiewlds for football, Ebisu Park boasts a climbing rock and Oak Park features basketball courts and water park.

MARPOLE MIDDEN This an ancient Musqueam village and burial site was once inhabited by Coast Salish people from at least 4,000 years ago until about 200 years ago, when smallpox arrived on the Northwest Coast.

ADVICE | MORTGAGE MINUTE

HOW IMPORTANT IS THE PORTABILITY OPTION IN YOUR MORTGAGE?

ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

Selling your current home and moving into a new one can be stressful enough, let alone worrying about your current mortgage and whether you are able to carry it over to your new home. Porting your mortgage enables you to move to another property without having to lose your existing interest rate, mortgage balance and term. And, better yet, the ability to port also allow you to increase your mortgage amount without paying a penalty. It’s important to note, however, that not all mortgages are portable. When it comes to fixed-rate mortgages, you usually have a portability option. If you require additional funds, there are two ways lenders do this. Some lenders will do a blend and extend; meaning that they will look at the interest rate you currently have compared to the rate that is currently available and they will blend both rates and that will be the interest rate you will have for the new term. The amortization period might increase or remain the same. 22 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

With other lenders, primarily banks, your current mortgage will remain in place, and for the additional amount you require they will give you another mortgage with the current interest rate, new amortization period and a new maturity date. The challenge with this is that you will have two different mortgages renewing at different times and with different amortization periods. If you ever decide to move your mortgage to a new lender you will have to pay a penalty regardless, as the two mortgages will be renewed at different times. It is always best to explore all your options with a Mortgage Expert. On the other hand, with variable-rate mortgages, porting is usually not available. As such, upon breaking your existing mortgage, a three-month interest penalty will be charged. This charge may or may not be reimbursed with your new mortgage. While porting typically ensures no penalty will be charged when you sell your existing property and buy a new one, some conditions that may apply include: • Some lenders allow you to port your mortgage, but your sale and purchase have to happen on the same day. Other lenders offer a week to do this, some a month, and

others up to three months. • Some lenders don’t allow a changed term or force you into a longer term as part of agreeing to port your mortgage. • Some lenders will, in fact, reimburse your entire penalty whether you’re a fixed or variable borrower if you simply get a new mortgage with the same lender – replacing the one being discharged. Additionally, some lenders will even allow you to move into a brand-new term of your choice and start fresh. • There are instances where it’s better to pay a penalty at the time of selling and get into a new term at a brand-new rate that could save back your penalty over the course of the new term.

WALKABILITY AND THE POTENTIAL FOR FUTURE GROWTH

JAMIE SQUIRES

In real estate, they say, the top three considerations are “location, location and location,” but what does this mean? The perfect location is specific to each individual. Today, as many aim to be socially responsible and reduce their carbon footprint, it can mean driving as little as possible, if at all. As more and more people seek their own space in new areas, one thing that can help determine 26 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

how much they may or may not have to drive is to look at the prospective property’s address on Walk Score™. Walk Score is a private company that gives a score the walkability and drivability of locations based on their address, and is available in Canada, the United States and Australia. They have a website and app that make figuring out the relative convenience easy for consumers. A score of 90 – 100 is called a ‘walker’s paradise’ which means everything can be reached by foot within a few minutes. Unless you are in an urban core this is hard to find. A score of 7089 is stated to be ‘very walkable’

meaning most daily errands can be reached by foot. A score of 50-69 is called ‘somewhat walkable’ and means there are some walkable amenities, but a car may be required for others. Scores under 50 are called ‘car dependent’ meaning a vehicle will be required for most if not all errands. In today’s suburban neighbourhoods, any score of 70 or higher is very good, and shows the convenience of the neighbourhood. These neighbourhoods are transforming and will become more walkable with improved walk score ratings over time, as more and more amenities are built and come to

fruition. Homes in these areas will only become more desirable in the long run and are a good investment as the neighbourhood continues to grow after purchase. Neighbourhoods in the 90 to 100 score range have reached or are close to reaching their full convenience potential already. One of the great neighbourhoods to consider in the 70 to 89 score range is the new emerging area of ‘Uptown Surrey’ located between the Surrey City Centre and Guildford area, where the benefits of both neighbourhoods are easily reachable, and there is an

eclectic mix of amenity offerings already nearby. Unison is a new condominium development that is now over 50 per cent sold, with more offerings coming to this neighbourhood already has a walk score of 70 and moving to up. Other areas to consider that are up and coming, with walk scores sure to rise over the next 5 to 10 years, are South Surrey, in particular the Grandview neighbourhood, and Coquitlam’s Burquitlam/Lougheed neighbourhood, both with current walk scores of 49 to 50 but a lot of planned amenities yet to come to improve the value of

your location over time. If budget is a factor, a good way to get into the market is to consider a neighbourhood that has not yet reached a higher convenience potential, but the plans for that neighbourhood show that it will. Hazelwood in South Surrey by Hungerford Properties is a masterplanned townhome community designed for suburban families, and Dansey, by Belford Properties in Coquitlam is coming to market soon in the Burquitlam Lougheed area. Checkout these and other potential new home communities for every convenience need on our website at www.fifthave.ca. Jamie Squires is Senior Vice President & Managing Broker at Fifth Avenue Real Estate Marketing Ltd, and has has over 18 years in the industry. Fifth Avenue now has over 40 years of experience Bringing People Home in the Fraser Valley and beyond, and brings an unparalleled level of expertise and an innovative approach to the marketing and sales of new-home developments from the ground up.

Sydney A New View oN Luxury iN WeSt CoquitLam In the coming weeks, Ledingham McAllister, one of BC’s most venerable development companies will be unveiling its first release of Sydney, a sophisticated, elegant, 25-storey residence located adjacent to the lush greenery of the prestigious Vancouver Golf Club. “This is such a unique location,” says Carla Bury, Vice President of Marketing at Ledingham McAllister. “You’re so close to everything — the Evergreen and Millennium Lines, Lougheed Town Centre, SFU, BCIT, and the freeway — yet there’s the tranquility of being amid the quiet of a well-established residential neighbourhood.” Vibrant with activity, the burgeoning neighbourhood of West Coquitlam is no longer your standard suburb. Currently this area, once known as “Burquitlam,” is transforming into Metro Vancouver’s most exciting new community. Conveniently connected to everywhere in the lower Mainland by two SkyTrains, with views of the Fraser River, the Fraser Valley and the mountains, West Coquitlam is in the centre of it all, yet surrounded by greenspace and tranquil residential neighbourhoods. With décor inspired by boutique hotels found in the most cosmopolitan cities around the world, these residences are spacious — ranging from a 611-square-foot one-bedroom and den to three28 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

bedroom residences. Over-height ceilings, expansive windows, and open concept design keep the ambiance light and airy while maximizing enjoyment of the dazzling views that are found in every direction. Outdoors, Sydney’s balconies and patios really are a breath of fresh air, with lots of space to entertain, relax and take in the view. LedMac’s dedication to the health and wellness of their homebuyers is reflected in the Sydney exclusive Member’s Club — a 14,000-square-foot amenities space and rooftop terrace. Here you’ll find a fully equipped fitness centre and yoga studio, a fireside lounge with chef’s kitchen, a formal dining area, and two guests suites for your out-of-town visitors. Sure to become a popular social centre, the fifth-level terrace boasts a grand lawn for picnics or bocce ball on the outdoor lawn, covered outdoor cabanas for finding a shady reading spot in the summer, plus a kid’s playground. Sydney is now under construction at Austin and Lougheed. The sales centre will be opening soon at 408 – 552 Clarke Road (in the Burquitlam Plaza opposite Safeway).

BRUISED CREDIT? YOU STILL HAVE OPTIONS FOR GETTING APPROVED FOR A MORTGAGE

jESSE AbRAmS Last year proved to be an interesting one for mortgages. The COVID-19 pandemic has had lasting effects on the global economy, rates of unemployment and, more specifically, the financial stability of many Canadian households. Since March 2020, 16 per cent of mortgages in Canada have been deferred to help homeowners who were financially impacted by the pandemic – a number that has slowly fallen since then. During the pandemic, credit cards, car loans and other bank loan payments were also deferred, which has considerably impacted the credit scores of many people across the country. This has left many Canadians in financial situations where their credit score has dropped, sometimes significantly, and their mortgage options may have become more limited. Especially if you find yourself in a situation where your debts have accumulated and you want to leverage your home equity to borrow against your home to refinance and consolidate your debts. What does ‘good’ credit mean?

Lenders typically favour homebuyers with credit scores of 680 or higher and use this to evaluate the strength of a mortgage application. 32 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

If you’ve been slightly impacted by the pandemic and find yourself in the 600 to 680 range, this is considered “mid-level” credit. The good news is that there are many Prime A lenders, such as credit unions and monoline lenders who offer more leniency compared to the big banks, along with favourable mortgage rates and features. These sources can be an option for an approval. What are your mortgage options With loW credit?

Low credit is when your credit score falls below 620. Being in this range makes it more difficult to get approved with Prime A lenders. There are still options available for you. When you can’t get approved with A lenders, exploring different B lenders is a good alternative. B Lenders make it possible for people with low credit, less income or high debts to get approved for a mortgage, with some additional requirements. Buyers are usually expected to make a larger down payment of 20 per cent or higher, and are subject to slightly increased rates compared to A lenders. When you work with a B lender, the terms are shorter (one to two years) to give homeowners an opportunity to improve their credit and later refinance into a better Prime A mortgage. If your income and credit are too low and your debt is too high for A and B lenders, private mortgages are a potential option. These lenders come at a higher rate with additional fees, but are

a common solution for those who cannot meet the standard lender criteria. What happens if your credit is loW When you reneW?

If your mortgage is up for renewal and your credit score has fallen below your lender’s criteria, it may be time to start searching for a new lender. When you receive a notice for mortgage renewal, it’s important to know that you’re not obligated to sign back under the same terms. If you’re looking for a better alternative to your current mortgage, you have the option to either negotiate with your current lender or shop around and switch lenders for a better mortgage. At Homewise, we have seen many clients in this situation recently. That’s why we work with many Prime A, B and private lenders to ensure clients get approved – especially if you are in a situation where you want to leverage your home equity to consolidate your debts and refinance. If you’re worried about your situation, it’s important to know that there are other options available to you. These alternatives give you an opportunity to secure a more stable financial future.

Walk This Way “WalkabiliTy” and where you want To live by Stephanie Macdonald

There are a multitude of benefits to walking places, from the obvious health and exercise benefits of activity, to the need for less car infrastructure and less resulting pollution. Studies have shown that people who live in walkable communities have stronger social connections, which contribute to better mental health and quality of life. So, how can we define what is a “walkable neighbourhood”? This is 2021, so of course there is an app for that. It’s called Walk Score™. Walk Score measures the walkability of any address using a patented system. For each address, Walk Score analyzes hundreds of walking routes to 34 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

nearby amenities. Points are awarded based on the distance to amenities in each category. Amenities within a five-minute walk (about 340 metres) are given maximum points. A decay function is used to give points to more distant amenities, with no points given after a 30-minute walk. Walk Score also measures pedestrian friendliness by analyzing population density and road metrics such as block length and intersection density. Data sources include Google, Factual, Great Schools, Open Street Map, the U.S. Census, Localeze, and places added by the Walk Score user community.

dedicated bike lanes and even the amount and steepness of hills. In Metro Vancouver, the highest walk scores are predictably in the downtown areas of Vancouver, Burnaby, Richmond, New Westminster, and Surrey City Centre. In downtown Vancouver, Grosvenor’s The Pacific is a 39-storey residential tower with 224 homes and the restoration of an iconic heritage house, which has a Walk Score of 98 and is perfectly positioned to be close enough to walk everywhere, including the beach in English Bay. Moving South in Vancouver, the Cambie Corridor is increasing its Walk Score every year as new residential buildings and businesses are created. The area’s newest addition, Voyce, is a solid concrete six-storey form that entwines aesthetic, quality, and sustainability, for a uniquely upscale living experience on the edge of Queen Elizabeth Park. Vancouver’s historic villages are also quite walkable, and have exciting new projects happening for the first time in years. Kerrisdale (90) will soon have Gryphon House on West Boulevard, Marpole (85) will be home to Revive, and Dunbar Village (81) will be home to Wesgroup’s elegant Dunbar & 39th. In Burnaby’s Brentwood, Shape’s giant megaproject at Brentwood Town Centre (Walk Score 69) called The Amazing Brentwood, is just a small part of the burgeoning, walkable new centre. Amacon’s The Alaska will also grace the Brentwood Skyline soon,

as will Solterra’s newest tower, the sophisticated Bordeaux. The neighbourhood’s amenities will also be bolstered by Concord Pacific’s newest masterplanned community, Concord Brentwood. Further east in Burnaby, Lougheed Town Centre will be creating their own walkable community, and next door in Burquitlam, a large amount of development is increasing Walk Scores with every new mixed-use high-rise. Metrotown is a Walkers’ Paradise (90), and has a tremendous revitalization underway, with the redevelopment of Metrotown Mall. Concord Metrotown is currently in the works, as is Intracorp’s Telford on the Walk. Other massive mall redevelopments into master-planned communities include Westbank’s Oakridge, CF Richmond Centre, Coquitlam Centre, and the recently announced major reinvention of Lansdowne Centre in Richmond. Smaller, older village neighbourhoods in Metro Vancouver also offer great walkability, places like Port Moody, Steveston, Ladner, Burnaby Heights, downtown New Westminster, and White Rock, which has recently added the impressive, award-winning Foster Martin to its skyline. Surrey City Centre already has an 86 Walk Score, and is getting more convenient all the time, with an extremely busy new home market and new buildings being announced all the time. The area is so popular that Square Nine’s newest tower Belvedere, nexthome.ca 35

completely sold out 275 homes in only 72 hours! Fortunately, there are many more opportunities to live in this very exciting neighbourhood, including Tien Sher’s newest project Q5. Q5 is a brand-new six-storey collection featuring 141 spacious homes, ranging from studios to family-friendly 3-bedrooms. Defined by contemporary architecture, refined interiors and well-planned layouts, Q5 provides a rare opportunity for exceptional urban living surrounded by every convenience. Plaza One at King George Hub is another new development by PCI Developments ready to take advantage of Metro Vancouver’s fastestgrowing new city centre. The District of North Vancouver has intelligently focused its new residential development on walkable nodes in five different village and town centres. In Lynn Creek, Intergulf’s Hunter at Lynn Creek is set to take advantage of this blossoming new walkable community. In the City of North Vancouver, North Harbour (formerly known as Harbourside Waterfront) is a new waterfront development by Concert Properties. North Harbour will be a vibrant, walkable, mixed use neighbourhood which will include 700 new condos, 100 market rentals, office space and a hotel, as well as retail and boutique storefronts. If you are looking farther into the future, look 36 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

to places a bit off the beaten track for exciting new master-planned communities. At the edge of Burnaby and New West is the low-key Edmonds neighbourhood, which will soon be home to Ledingham McAllister’s ambitious and massive new master-planned community called Southgate City. This extraordinary nearly 60-acre masterfully designed community will be shaped by magnificent glass towers and lush garden homes, encircling an expansive and meticulously planned five-acre central park. Scenic and meandering creekside parkways offer enjoyment for everyone. Day to day needs will be easily met with the convenience of community shops and services that include a gourmet grocer, restaurants, cafés, and the luxury of its own world class, park-side, fully programmed community centre. Other master-planned communities that will soon offer a walkable lifestyle in the suburbs include Vesta Properties’ award-winning Latimer Heights, a 74-acre master-planned new home development in Langley boasting over 17 acres of parks, greenspace, walkways, a luscious centralized pond and a brand new elementary school, complete with a Europeaninspired village with shops, services and eateries. Maple Ridge will soon benefit from ERA, where

approximately 1000 contemporary condominiums and city homes span three city blocks, complete with parks, shops, and office space. And it’s all connected to the best of local living, including the West Coast Express and a natural paradise.

10 minuTes wiTh Brandon TrenT The Joys of a Brand new home by susan m Boyce

It’s a thrill like no other; moving into your new home. And when that home is brand new, the thrill takes on a whole new high. This issue, we chat with Brandon Trent from Hayer Builders Group about some of the many benefits of new versus resale. Q: What’s your number one reason why purchasing a brand new home is a great investment? A: Peace of mind. When you buy from a well-

established builder with a proven track record of successful projects, you know your home will be built to a level of quality that will stand the test of time. It’s the small, often invisible details like knowing floors have been screwed down so they won’t squeak or having extra insulation in walls and roofs that create confidence for the long term. You’re also covered by the 2-5-10 home warranty insurance, meaning you’re protected against defeats in materials, labour, building envelop, and structural. Q: How does technology fit into the new home equation? A: Technology continues to allow us to build ever more efficient, eco-friendly homes — and that’s good news for homeowners as well as the environment. For example, Hayer Builders Group incorporates ondemand hot water in all our townhomes, so you’re not only saving space, you’re eliminating standby energy loss. We also use a state-of-the-art air exchange so fresh air circulates without needing to open windows. And, of course, things like LED lighting and EnergyStar appliances are standard, so you get the benefit of cost savings throughout the year.

so there’s easier access when you’re barbequing, having a powder-room on the main floor for convenience, and creating open, flowing floorplans that can be scaled up or scaled down depending on your personal space-planning preferences. Q: Any final thoughts? A: A new home is like having a blank canvas for you

if so, what does that mean for the way people live?

to put your personal touches on. Emotionally, it’s exciting to know you have a completely fresh start rather than trying to adapt to what a previous owner thought was wonderful or stylish. Buying a home is one of the biggest decisions in a person’s life. It’s a place where you build memories with family and friends, where you feel safe, and where you can create an environment that totally suits your unique personality and style.

A: Floorplans are constantly improving because as an industry, builders and architects keep pushing to design homes that work with today’s lifestyles. Again, it’s often small details that make the biggest differences — putting the kitchen closer to the deck

Brandon Trent is development manager at Hayer Builders Group. For information about their many award-winning communities, visit hayerbuildersgroup.com.

HAVAN AWARD FINALISTS METRO VANCOUVER’S FINEST BY SUSAN M BOYCE

It’s a highlight of the year throughout Metro Vancouver’s robust residential construction industry. And although participants and well-wishers weren’t able to gather in person at the popular Finalists’ Soiree, the familiar buzz of enthusiasm zoomed across hundreds of computer screens as finalists in the 12th annual HAVAN Awards for Housing Excellence were announced. With their trademark outsidethe-box thinking, the folks at HAVAN stepped up to make the evening special and fun by introducing an engaging twist — an online trivia game featuring 19 multiple choice questions that showcased the event’s sponsors. Contestant vied for 44 New Home + Condo Guide | April 17–May 1, 2021

prizes including barbeques and a helicopter ride, and one HAVAN staffer said even though she didn’t get all the answers right, she found the perfect solution to a renovation challenge in her own home. Bonus. CELEBRATE DIVERSITY

This year, 80 builders and developers garnered 184 finalist awards across 56 categories ranging from compact condo and laneway house to lavish manor, luxurious high-rises, and dazzling renovations. And as always, the sheer diversity was breathtaking. “We’ve seen some amazing projects in the 2021 awards, projects that reflect this past year’s trends of people adapting

to life during a pandemic,” says Ron Rapp, HAVAN’s CEO. “Highlights include a custom-built Scandinavian-style farmhouse with clean, minimalist living; a weekend get-away home located in the Interior with wide open living

Despite the challenges, we continue to turn houses into homes and developments into communities. - Ron Rapp

”

space; plus renovated homes featuring luxurious master suites, state-of-the-art kitchens, intriguing home libraries (including one that’s hidden), gyms to pump you up, and a tearoom to help calm you down.” TRENDSETTING NEW HOME DESIGNS

In the new home categories, awards heavyweight Vesta Properties lead the way with 10 finalist spots for their Latimer Heights master planned community in Langley. The company has secured two of the coveted Grand HAVAN Awards — Best Single-Family Community and Single-Family Home Builder of the Year. Hot on Vesta’s heels are Infinity Properties and Isle of Mann Property Group with seven and six finalist positions each. Both developers will be pitted against long-time participant, Zenterra Developments in the Multi-Family Home Builder of the Year category meaning an exciting race to the finish line on gala evening. Also of note, was A Narrow Perspective by Nick Bray Architecture with Project Mint Developments named a finalist in four categories. Elegant and minimalist, this 25-foot passive house is built on a 33-foot-wide city lot and is a paragon of energy efficiency and functionality.

Hayer Group

A RESILIENT INDUSTRY

“Our industry has bounced back during this past year with a strength no one anticipated,” Rapp noted in his opening remarks. “Despite the challenges, we continue to turn houses into homes and developments into communities that reflect the diverse needs of the people who live here. And that’s something we’re all proud of.” For a complete list of finalists, visit havan.ca/awards/ finalists, then stay tuned to find out who the winners are at the virtual gala on April 30.

SYDNEY

A NEW VIEW ON LUXURY IN WEST COQUITLAM

The burgeoning neighbourhood of West Coquitlam is blossoming with energy and activity, as the former sleepy suburb transforms into Metro Vancouver’s most vibrant new community. Conveniently connected to everywhere in the lower Mainland by two SkyTrains, with views of the Fraser River, the Fraser Valley and the mountains, West Coquitlam is in the centre of it all, yet surrounded by greenspace and tranquil residential neighbourhoods. In the coming weeks, Ledingham McAllister, one of BC’s most venerable development companies will be unveiling its first release of Sydney, a sophisticated, elegant, 25-storey residence located adjacent to the lush greenery of the prestigious Vancouver Golf Club. “This is such a unique location,” says Carla Bury, Vice President of Marketing at Ledingham McAllister. “You’re so close to everything — the Evergreen and Millennium Lines, Lougheed Town Centre, SFU, BCIT, and the freeway — yet there’s the tranquility of being amid the quiet of a well-established residential neighbourhood.” With décor inspired by boutique hotels found in the most cosmopolitan cities around the world, these residences are spacious — ranging from a 611-square-foot one-bedroom and den to threebedroom residences. These homes can comfortably accommodate your single-family-sized furnishings. Over-height ceilings, expansive windows, and open concept design keep the ambiance light and airy while

maximizing enjoyment of the dazzling views that are found in every direction. “Our focus is always on livability,” Carla says. “Now, more than ever, people want a home that maximizes space and function — things like being able to cook a turkey for Thanksgiving or Christmas, if that’s your family tradition, and having private outdoor space you can enjoy year-round. Outdoor spaces are another area where the homes at Sydney stand out from the crowd. Circumstances over the last year have really made us appreciate every inch of our homes, inside and out. Sydney’s outdoor balconies and patios really are a breath of fresh air, with lots of space to entertain, relax and take in the view. LedMac’s dedication to the health and wellness of their homebuyers is reflected in the exclusive Member’s Club — a 14,000-square-foot amenities space and rooftop terrace. Here you’ll find a fully equipped fitness centre and yoga studio, a fireside lounge with chef’s kitchen, a formal dining area, and two guests suites for your out-of-town visitors. Sure to become a popular social centre, the fifth-level terrace boasts a grand lawn for picnics or bocce ball on the outdoor lawn, covered outdoor cabanas for finding a shady reading spot in the summer, plus a kid’s playground. And for your fourfooted family members, there’s the Paws and Play dog run on the second level — seems LedMac has thought of everything.

Sydney is now under construction at Austin and Lougheed. The sales centre will be opening soon at 408 – 552 Clarke Road (in the Burquitlam Plaza opposite Safeway). For more information, visit sydneybyledmac.com or call 778.948.0333.
