EDITOR’S NOTE

REFOCUS REFLECT AND VISUALIZE

MARLENE EISNER EDITOR New Home + Condo Guide EMAIL: marlene.eisner@nexthome.ca TWITTER: @MarleneEisner

We’ve just celebrated a new year on Jan. 1, and in a little over a week, on Feb. 1, the Chinese Lunar New Year begins. That gives us two opportunities for a fresh start to not only change our actions, but to also refocus our thoughts and visualize our dreams and intentions. If you’re looking for a new home — and if you’ve picked up this magazine, then you must be considering it — now is the perfect time to refocus your vision and reflect on what your home will look like. Do you dream of a singlefamily home, a townhome or a condo? Do you picture a fenced backyard or prefer condo living and a lot of amenities? Perhaps it’s about being in close proximity to public transit, bicycle paths and shopping. Finally, is your idea of “coming home” a vision that lies near nature or in the heart of the city? Once you have identified your needs and desires, you’re one step closer to finding what you are looking for. The other steps can be found in the pages of this magazine. Along with informative articles from industry experts on how to successfully navigate the local pre-sale real estate market, you’ll find some pretty awesome pre-construction projects currently in development in the Metro Vancouver area that may meet your needs. Good luck on your new home-hunting journey. Let us know how it goes. We’d love to hear from you.

You’ve watched and you’ve waited, and now your time is here. The Amazing Brentwood’s first residential tower in over six years is about to commence sales — and that’s got savvy buyers excited. Following the runaway success of the first three towers in Neighbourhood One, The Amazing Brentwood Tower 5 will be the inaugural high-rise in the highly anticipated Neighbourhood Two.

Neighbourhood One, with front row seats to the highly anticipated Neighbourhood Two. Best of all, residents will enjoy some of the most spectacular views of the North Shore Mountains, the downtown Vancouver cityscape, and the shimmering Burrard Inlet. “Over six years after selling Towers 1, 2, and 3, our vision for The Amazing Brentwood has become a reality,” says Tamara Tasaka, marketing director with SHAPE Properties. “Now, we’re raising the bar even higher for the homes, shops, and restaurants in Neighbourhood Two. Tower 5 marks the next frontier of design,

innovation, and quality of life at The Amazing Brentwood.” She adds the 1,700 homeowners with the vision to purchase in The Amazing Brentwood’s first phase have seen a collective $600-million in wealth accumulation. Retailers have exceeded their sales projections, and demand continues to escalate. MARKET-LEADING AMENITIES

Metrotown is the largest of the four Burnaby official town centres in its southwest quadrant. Four decades ago, Metrotown wasn’t the office hub, shopping destination, and development hot spot that it is today.

wonderful dining, fantastic parks; Metrotown seems to have it all. mEET ThE NEIGhbOURS

If you are a fashionista, you came to the right neighbourhood. If you love the night life, ditto. Metrotown is renowned as much for being a shopping Mecca as it is for its arts and culture. This enclave is home to more than 500 shops … this is not a typo.

You’ll find a large immigrant population here, with nearly 40 per cent whose first language isn’t English. You’ll see families, young hipsters and Baby Boomers wandering about. The average household income is just under $50,000. With the boom in upscale condo towers going up here, it is safe to assume that will change in the ensuing years.

Transit has fueled the growth in Metrotown over the last decade, becoming a much-talked about urban centre that is socially, economically and culturally diverse. There’s great energy, good shopping,

Residents have embraced commuting via public transit and Metrotown Skytrain Station to the tune of 53 per cent - currently the highest in all of Metro Vancouver. REaL ESTaTE (NEw bUILDS)

Metrotown is in the process of being redeveloped into the downtown centre of Burnaby. Metropolis Metrotown Mall will be revamped into a huge mixed residential, office and retail complex, and will include large projects from Concord Pacific, Intracorp and Anthem. Currently on the pre-sale market, Concord Metrotown will soon be home to the tallest building in Metro Vancouver, and Anthem’s The Standard will continue their legacy that started with the recently-completed Station Square master-planned complex. This diverse cultural, dining and shopping mecca has Skytrain access to the rest of Metro Vancouver, a lively restaurant row and much happening in the future, so keep an eye out for new development announcements.

OH-WOW AMENITIES

A perfect complement to Maywood Park, the community’s lush courtyard and recreational lawn are perfect for gathering with friends and family, whether it’s a barbecue, admiring the seasonal flowers, or just settling down to enjoy the sunshine with the latest bestseller and a latté.

Inside, these sunny homes are designed for elegant flexibility. Kitchen islands provide storage on one end and open seating for four on the other — diningroom ambiance without the table.

ADVICE | MORTGAGE MINUTE

IS IT TIME FOR YOU TO HAVE A

FINANCIAL CHECK-UP? ALISA ARAGON-LLOYD

As life gets busy and our lives change, we sometimes forget to ensure that our financial plan changes, too. For that reason, you should consider regularly doing a financial check-up. The following are some key factors to think about: • CREDIT - It is important to use your credit wisely to ensure you have options available when you 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Jan. 22–Feb. 5, 2022

need them, and to check your credit on a regular basis. Check it at least once a year with Equifax or TransUnion. This will help you know where you are with your credit score and to confirm that it hasn’t been compromised due to fraud. It is critical to make your payments on time to maintain a good credit score and it is also helpful when you keep your account balances below 65 percent of the maximum limit. Doing this will help you keep your credit score higher. Paying the accounts with the highest interest first will help you reduce paying more interest.

Some people believe it is better not to use credit at all, however, if you don’t have any credit accounts reporting to the credit bureaus, there is no way financial institutions would know how responsible you are with your credit obligations, and it can be a challenge obtaining credit cards or loans in the future. • MORTGAGE - A mortgage is one

of the largest loans most people will ever have. For that reason, it is important to ensure that you have the best mortgage and that you have a regular check-up. By choosing the best mortgage with the most favourable terms

higher return on investments than the amount of a penalty. • SAVINGS - It is always a good

and rates, it can help you achieve huge savings. With today’s low rates, it makes no sense to be making high monthly payments on high-interest credit cards and personal loans. You can save a considerable amount of money and increase your monthly cash flow by refinancing your mortgage. Depending on your situation, you could even maintain your current amortization period and still have similar monthly payments or better yet, lower your mortgage payments and eliminate all your other credit card and loan payments. Also, another option is refinancing and using the equity to buy an investment property or use the funds for other investments. It is always worth it to explore the options. The benefits can work out to be more savings and a

idea to pay yourself first. Most people pay their bills first and whatever they have left over, they save. The reality is, the savings part almost never happens. You must make it a priority to pay yourself first. If you save 10 percent of everything you make, you’ll be surprised how quickly your money accumulates. If saving 10 percent becomes a bit of a challenge at first, maybe start with saving five percent just to get into the habit. A simple way to save is to set up an automatic transfer from your paycheque to a savings account each time you get paid. This way, you save money and you don’t even realize that it came out of your daily account. A tax-free savings account (TFSA) is another great way to get a higher interest rate on your savings instead of just using a regular bank account. If your TFSA is managed properly, you can get a good return on your investment and money earned is tax-free and can be withdrawn at anytime. • RETIREMENT - Saving should be part of your retirement plan. If possible, make contributions to a Registered Retired Savings Plan (RRSP) as part of your monthly budget. A financial advisor will assist you with recommendations as to how you can maximize your RRSPs. Contributing to your RRSP will give you a tax break at the end of each year and you can use your tax refund money to put towards paying down your mortgage or to pay for something that you want, such as a vacation. And when you save, you won’t feel guilty about spending money.

• INSURANCE - It is critical to have

adequate insurance to protect yourself and your family in the event of a crisis or an emergency. A good habit is to review all your insurance coverage at least once a year to make sure you are fully covered to include your home, health, life and long-term disability. Critical illness insurance offers protection should you get one of the approved conditions and is often paid in a lump sum amount once you have survived the specific waiting period. This insurance will give you some peace of mind knowing that the costs of a serious medical condition and your living expenses will be covered. Surprisingly, on average, people change their mortgage every 38 – 42 months. Therefore, it is best to have independent mortgage insurance coverage, compared to taking the insurance coverage offered by the financial institutions or lenders that have your mortgage. This way, if you move your mortgage to a new lender, you won’t have to re-apply for the same coverage at an older age with higher premiums. It is best to talk to a mortgage expert and your financial advisor to ensure you have the proper financial check-up to help you achieve your short- and long-term goals.

ADVICE | MAKE YOUR MOVE

AIM FOR A SAFE, SECURE MOVE CHUCK RESNICK

When you move, you want your belongings to arrive at their destination safely. But there are other forms of safety and security to consider. For example, as items are being transferred to and from the truck, how can you be sure nothing goes missing? Make sure those involved don’t leave vehicles unattended for too long. This is particularly important when moving in or out of an apartment building, when trips

to the elevator may mean those carrying the items are gone from the moving vehicle for extended periods of time. Untrained people who help you move may inadvertently cause damage because they lack the know-how to move certain items. Movers have special packing materials, labels and loading/ unloading techniques in place to protect these cherished pieces. Moving electronic storage equipment and servers can be tricky. Does your mover have a strategy in place with information security as a goal? It’s also a good idea to have specific items appraised and insured personally to protect them. Create an inventory, take photos and provide a copy to the mover.

Another aspect of a move is the ability of the drivers. Are they skilled, experienced or even trained to drive the vehicle safely? If you are not used to driving with a heavy load, it can be risky. A professional moving company provides trained drivers. A mover who offers full insurance with professional and bonded employees relieves you of safety and security issues. You can DIY, but in the end, is it worth it? Chuck Resnick is vice-president Marketing and Operations for Two Men And a Truck - Canada, a division of Heron Capital Corporation. Visit twomen.ca

Overall luck is average (1937, 49, 61, 73, 85, 97, 2009, 21) Lucky stars: Hong Luan (also represents bloodshed). Villain stars: Bing Fu, Gua Su,, Sui Sha, Mo Yue Last year was affected by Tai Sui, and this year is not much better. If there are no happy events such as a marriage, it will easily turn into misfortune of bloodshed. Be careful of traffic accidents and high-risk activities. While there is Ba Bai lucky star in Feng Shui, but conflict with San Sha, you must be conservative throughout the year. Feng Shui talisman is Rat; you can do more good deeds. nexthome.ca 35

Tropical plants in a Canadian winter by MARK & BEN CULLEN

ere in Canada, we endure a long, cold winter that encourages us to reach for tropical plants for good reason. There is literally no better way to introduce humidity and oxygen into our indoor environment. To garden indoors successfully, especially this time of year, it’s important to provide the best possible growing conditions. With the right care and location, your indoor plants will live a good long life and you will reap many benefits from them.

Light requirements Observing the growth and changes in your tropical plants allows you to determine if they are receiving enough light. Plants that don’t get enough light will usually look pale, have longer than normal stems, and smaller than normal leaves. Sometimes, a plant will look as if it’s reaching for light, stretching its leaves and lengthening the distance between growth nodes toward the nearest window – a sure sign that it needs either to be placed in a sunnier window or the natural light augmented with artificial light. Plants with colourful foliage will often lose colour when they don’t get enough light, and revert to green leaves. It is natural for most flowering plants to stop flowering through the winter months.

Fertilizer Fertilizing indoor plants in winter is necessary only when you see new growth developing or the plant is in bloom. Otherwise, your tropical plants are “resting” this time of year and will not benefit from a fertilizer application. It’s best to err on the side of caution and give plants a little less than the amount the instructions call for. There are several forms of fertilizer available: Granular, slow-release granules, spikes and water soluble. These can be organic or inorganic chemical combinations. In our opinion, the best choice for houseplants is an inorganic, water soluble formula.

The elements in it are readily available for the plant’s use and you will be able to see the effect right away. The final step in choosing your houseplant fertilizer is determined by the plants you have. Some, such as African violets and geraniums, have fertilizers formulated specifically for them. African violet fertilizer, for instance, often is a 10-30-30 ratio with traces of boron, copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum and zinc. If there is no specific formula for your houseplant, a 20-20-20 ratio with trace elements is best.

Rules of fertilizing We follow three rules for successful fertilizing: Do not fertilize plants when: They are wilted, dry or dormant. Plants need nutrients only when they are actively growing or flowering. Fertilizing at other times could cause a build-up of insoluble salts in the soil, which can damage the roots. If white salts build up on the pot rim or soil surface, stop fertilizing and drench the soil a couple of times with generous doses of water (putting them in the shower works!) then, if growth continues, resume feeding in a month or so, using less fertilizer. If the plant stops growing or wilts, despite the proper watering schedule, stop fertilizing, and drench again. Then wait until growth resumes before starting up the fertilizing and use a weaker solution than before.

Maintenance In the winter months, the air in most Canadian homes is dry and conditions are perfect for insects to thrive. To raise the humidity around your plants, place a tray filled with pebbles and water under them. The water should not touch the bottom of the pots. This will create a cooler, humid atmosphere due to evaporation. Routinely inspecting houseplants enables you to observe and correct most problems before they get out of control.

Understanding

Presales by sUsan M Boyce

They’ve become ubiquitous in the new-home market, yet misconceptions about how presales actually work remain common. In this issue, we chat with Chris Scully (affectionately known to friends and colleagues as Scully), sales director with Key Marketing, about why this purchase decision has plenty of benefits for consumers. New Home+Condo Guide: What’s the most common misunderstanding consumers have about buying a pre-sale property? Chris Scully: Many buyers think they don’t need an agent, and technically, they’re right. But having a good agent, one who specializes in presales and has a good relationship with the developer, brings plenty of benefits. An agent will know how to negotiate things like upgrades, reduced fees if you decide to assign the property, sometimes even customized changes to the floorplan that will make your home unique and give you an edge if you resell it in the future. They also typically specialize in one or two neighbourhoods, so they know what amenities are available and whether the location is a good match for your needs — something that’s especially important if you’re considering an investment property in a different, perhaps more affordable city. A good agent will also know a developer’s history. Sometimes it looks like a builder is new in the market when actually they have years of experience with bigname companies and have just decided to take that knowledge and branch out on their own. Best of all, this expertise doesn’t cost you anything. Just make sure you interview potential agents the same way you’d interview any other professional you’re considering working with to make sure it’s a good fit. NH+CG: What about all those addendums? CS: People often think that once they’ve paid the deposit, that’s the end of it and nothing will change. But one of the beauties of a presale is that between the time you sign the sales contract and the time you close, your unit is actually an entity that’s carried by the current market and supply chain. For example,

Chris Scully, sales director with Key Marketing

if your home won’t complete for two or three years — which is common in a highrise — a manufacturer might discontinue the model of fridge and stove that was in your contract. So you’ll end up getting the most current, up-to-date model at no extra charge. NH+CG: even though presales are the de-facto standard throughout most metropolitan centres, some consumers still tend to be wary. What’s the greatest hesitation in their minds? CS: Because you can’t see it or touch it yet, there’s a misperception that paying a large amount of money for “air-in-the-sky” is risky. The reality is that all deposits are held in trust by a third party. So in the unlikely situation something did go wrong, your money is still protected. In the meantime, you’ve locked into today’s pricing, your equity is increasing, and you’ve got more time to save up for a larger down payment. Win-win.

This is it, your final opportunity to own a brand-new home in Phase 1 at RC at CF Richmond Centre. So if you want to experience the urban delights of this unique offering, you’ll have to hurry. Because once these homes are gone, they’re gone for good. INNOVATIVE BY DESIGN

An innovative collaboration between Cadillac Fairview and SHAPE, this 27-acre master-planned community is completely integrated into the much-loved CF Richmond Centre — one of Canada’s top performing shopping centres. Here, upscale retailers and restauranteurs including Apple, Nike, Zara, Lululemon, Uniqulo, and Cactus Club are just an elevator ride away. But RC at CF Richmond offers far more than some of Metro Vancouver’s finest shopping. The entire community is connected directly to the Richmond Brighouse SkyTrain Station — first stop on the Canada Line to downtown Vancouver and YVR. Minoru Park, Gateway Theatre, Kwantlen University, the new $80-million Richmond Aquatic Centre, as well as 80 acres of civic amenities including the Richmond Library and Cultural Centre are within walking distance. All this, and it’s only a few blocks to the famous Richmond Food Street where you’ll find the city’s highest concentration of restaurants — a foodie’s dream come true.

“RC at CF Richmond offers the highest quality of urban living,” says Tamara Tasaka, marketing director with SHAPE. “Early buyers gravitated to this project because they understand the value of its unmatched location. And these final homes are your last chance to be part of Phase One.” LIVE LIFE WELL

Inside, RC at CF Richmond’s homes brings the best of intelligent design and superior finishings together into an elegant whole. Kitchens are true culinary hubs featuring fullheight custom cabinetry imported from Europe, an open L-shaped footprint that allows 30 percent more storage space, plus top-of-the-line integrated appliances including a chef-style wall oven and cooktop by Gaggenau — the world leader in luxury appliances. Then there are the myriad small details that make a huge impact: dedicated laundry spaces, with a side-by-side washer/dryer and hanging space, brushed European flooring, central air conditioning, plus expansive outdoor terraces. As you’d expect, ensuites are opulent retreats for personal relaxation — NuHeat floors, porcelain tile walls, and rain showerheads to make your mornings feel as exceptional as you are.
