Editor’s notE
Budget news Finance Minister Bill Morneau promised new ways to help improve housing affordability for Canadians, particularly first-time homebuyers in their 20s and 30s, during his federal budget announcement on March 19. One proposed plan allows first-time buyers to withdraw up to $35K from their Registered Retirement Savings Plan (RRSP) to buy a home. That’s a $10K increase under the current Home Buyers’ Plan — helpful if you’re a first-time buyer with some cash, but most Millennials I hear from are paying off student loans and trying to make the rent, not contributing toward RRSPs. A second, and more hopeful scenario, is the proposed First-Time Home Buyer Incentive, a $1.25-billion program that allows prospective buyers with a minimum down payment to finance between five and 10 per cent of their mortgage via a shared equity program administered by Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). Purchasers of new homes, you’d get a bigger piece of this incentive. Check out page 56 for details.

ToDay’s real estate market challenges Michael DiPasquale
The last two years have been an interesting for the Toronto real estate market. In early 2017, prices were escalating rapidly and bidding wars were common. By the fall, new mortgage ‘stress-test’ rules 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, and not because I’m in the business. Analysts are predicting a stable housing market, modest price gains of around two per cent this year, and no market crash. The Ontario economy remains healthy, with good job growth, low unemployment, stable inflation and a recession seems unlikely. As inflation is currently below two per cent, we can expect interest rates to remain stable. Home prices have and will remain high, as land supply is low. Another significant influence on the market is immigration. Toronto expects to welcome approximately 110,000 newcomers annually. Condo sales have not been subject to the same fluctuations as the low-rise sector. That market has 12 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
remained strong and prices have increased, as condos offered an affordable ownership alternative. But the price gap between high-rise and low-rise is shrinking, and now that Millennials are 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 high-rises and traditional detached housing. As an infill builder specializing in townhouses, Dunpar understand there is need for housing that fills the niche between high-rise condos and detached homes. Our challenge is the approval process that allows for more townhouse development is slow and hasn’t kept pace with demand. This type of housing can be easily integrated into residential blocks with single-family housing and can help municipalities achieve its 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, and downsizers who want less maintenance but don’t want to sacrifice space. Townhomes provide sustainable living, particularly in locations close to transit such as Dunpar’s Streetsville Centre in Mississauga and Lakeshore Village in Etobicoke. Towns. Back-to-back units are more affordable than detached homes, yet still offer 1,500 to 2,000 square feet of space with parking. In transit-oriented locations such as these, cars aren’t a necessity – another benefit for people who have little interest in driving or owning a vehicle. Either way, twocar parking is still provided in all homes. The townhome’s time has come. It’s a great solution for the challenges of the GTA housing market, now and for the foreseeable future. Michael DiPasquale is the Chief Operating Officer of Dunpar Homes. He is a guest expert on the Business News Network, Bisnow and CitySpark.

Backyard Living Expo 2019
Inspiring tips to create the best backyard experience Spring is here and summer is right around the corner and people are excited to start planning their time outdoors. Seven celebrity experts have teamed up with the Backyard Living Expo (The International Centre, March 29-31) to help you create your best outdoor experience yet. Come learn from a variety of HGTV celebrities, gardeners, chefs, DIY professionals, and outdoor build and design experts how to make the most of your backyard as they present on the Weber Grill Main Stage and the Pro Series Stage. Visit the show’s website (thebackyardlivingexpo.com) for a complete schedule of presentations. Here is a little taste of what you can expect from our celebrity experts. “When it comes to outdoor gear, we love to pick items that are weather resistant and can stay outdoors all year ‘round without damage. You might have to spend a bit more for quality, but it will last you longer and save you on storage space! Also, if you don’t have a fire feature in your outdoor space, what are you waiting for? It will extend your outdoor season into early spring and late fall. So if Mother Nature does rear her ugly head, you can still enjoy the great outdoors. We love this larger outdoor dining set with built-in fire feature from Distinctly Patio (distinctlypatio.com).” – HGTV’S BroLaws
Distinctly Patio distinctlypatio.com …continued on page 48 14 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
“The very first thing you want to think about when designing your backyard is how you’ll be using it. From there, try creating different zones. You can help distinguish these areas with different types of lighting and/or outdoor rugs or plants. For example, if you wanted to create an intimate dining space, you could string lights from the fence to the side of your house, add a dining set, an area rug to ground the space and then some greenery to help make the area more inviting. If you have a pool as we do, I don’t ever forget about the touches of soft, luxurious and well-designed towels; I have fallen in love with the ones at House of Jude (houseofjude.ca)” – Designer Jaclyn Harper “Nothing says summer like a backyard barbecue, so make sure you are grill-ready. Before your first big gathering of the year, give your gas and/or charcoal grill a thorough cleaning. Whether you are a novice or advanced griller, I recommend these must-have, essential accessories for the grilling toolbox: A digital or appconnected thermometer, premium grill gloves, long-handled tongs and a durable grill brush. There is also nothing worse than running out of propane mid-gathering – always have an extra full propane tank available. If you’re using a charcoal grill, make sure you have several bags of charcoal on hand. My go-to grill this year is the Weber Genesis II S-335 (weber.com).” – Chef Michael P. Clive, Weber Grill Master

PURCHASER PROFILE
COUPLE PURCHASES AT VALERA WITH RETIREMENT IN MIND Francena DeFreitas and Ron Murdoch are seasoned homebuyers who own a 3,000+ squarefoot home in Oakville, and recently purchased a condominium suite at the first phase of Valera, Adi Development Group’s awardwinning new community in Uptown Burlington. “We realize it’s good to think ahead and make plans for retirement and downsizing now, rather than later,” Francena says. They relied on assistance from their long-time real estate agent. “We have always been happy with his advice,” Francena says. “He suggested we consider new condominiums over resale, because we would start out with everything fresh and chosen to our liking. We looked at a few different options in Oakville and Burlington, before he led us to Valera, a location that is just perfect for us. He knows about Adi’s excellent reputation.” Francena owns a concierge-atyour-service company, and Ron is in the transportation business. Their Oakville home is close to Burlington, and they are familiar with the area around Valera. Adi’s master-planned community is within walking distance to numerous stores, restaurants and a community centre. Valera is also close to highways and public transit. According to Francena, “if we decide to sell the condo someday, the convenient location makes our suite worth all that much more.” Valera will feature an on-site car share for owners/ renters who do not own a vehicle. Ron and Francena purchased a two-bedroom suite that measures just under 900 square feet. “We 20 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019

love the design,” Francena says. “The suite, while smaller than our present home, doesn’t have any wasted space. It’s a great layout for our needs.” For this couple, having amenities in the building expands their living space even more. “We absolutely love the fact that we will have these areas within steps of our suite,” Francena says. Valera residents will enjoy concierge service recreation and leisure area, pet spa, wellness spa, fitness facility plus a rooftop lounge with barbecues and dining area. “When we are older, it may be more difficult to get out to activities, so having these in the building is incredible.” They are also excited about Adi’s state-of-the-art ‘Home+’ smart-building system. Francena says that having keyless entry, added security, as well as controlling their own suite’s climate from a digital wall pad or using an app on their phone will be very convenient, especially when they travel.
Ron and Francena spend a lot on maintenance for their current home, Francena says “so we are looking forward to the convenience we will have at Valera. There will be a lot less to worry about. When we go away, we can just lock the door and leave!” The couple have found purchasing from Adi Development Group easy. “We feel very comfortable buying from them, which is so important when making such a major purchase decision,” says Francena. The Valera community has proven such a success, that ADI Development Group has released the second phase earlier than expected.
To purchase at Burlington’s hottest new community, visit the Valera Presentation Centre at 4880 Valera Road in Burlington, or register at www.adidevelopments.com.

SO YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED
JAYSOn SchwARz
You are about to enter into a new chapter in the book of your life, you’re getting married! Marriage involves many life changes, one of which is the reconfiguration of your legal status and obligations. This is the perfect time to get your house in order. So, what does that mean? As a married couple, you need to worry about protecting your other half from any exigencies that can arise from accident or misadventure. In addition, you need to address such 22 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
things as purchasing a house, a car etc. This is also the best time in your life to find a family lawyer. Find a lawyer that you like, and who will take care of your family by acting as your legal quarterback and taking care of your legal health. When necessary, your family lawyer will find you a legal specialist, be it for real estate transactions, tax issues or criminal trials, your family lawyer will help you find the right lawyer just as your family doctor will recommend a health specialist when you need it. Most young newlyweds dream of buying a new home. You will need to educate yourselves, which can be done by reading articles such as the new-home and resale articles online at schwarzlaw.ca,
and by checking out the builder in the case of a new-home purchase. You can investigate a builder’s background online at www.tarion. com, and be sure to ask the municipality you’re researching what is planned for the area you’re considering. Before you buy, meet and speak with your lawyer so you understand how to proceed with a transaction. There are a number of questions to be answered beforehand, for example: HOw wIll yOu HOlD THE TITlE OR OwnERSHIp TO yOuR HOME?

it is called “Joint Tenancy”. To hold title as joint tenants it simply means that upon the death of one of the parties, the remaining party automatically becomes the owner of the whole property without having to inherit it or have it pass through an estate. The reason this happens is that all owners on title own the whole property rather than a part each. The other way title can be held is as “Tenants in Common”. This means that each party truly only owns the percentage allocated to them although the physical part owned is not described. Upon the death of a Tenant in Common his or her percentage of ownership goes to their heirs in accordance with their will or law. Speak to your lawyer about liability issues and whether the title should be in one of your names instead of both. Next I want you to consider the need for a will and Powers of Attorney. Do you have a will? If you do, and unless it was made in contemplation of marriage, it will cease to be effective when you get married. It is very important for 24 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
a couple to make their will at the time of marriage. As events occur in your life, update it from time to time by what is called a Codicil (addition) to take in to account children, changes in circumstances etc. It is very important, especially if or when you have children, to have your wills completed. It’s important not so much for the money, but for a clear resolution of the issue of custody and keeping the children out of government hands if something happens to both parents. A will stops sibling disputes and allows for an orderly disposition of everything from your favourite cufflinks or earrings to your real estate, stocks and bonds. A Powers of Attorney is also very important. Unlike a will, it governs what happens when you are alive, not when you are dead. In the event of an accident or health issue that renders one or both of you mentally or physically incapable of looking after yourself or managing your affairs, a Power of Attorney allows the person or persons you choose (perhaps your spouse and mom) to make these decisions for you.
Speak to your lawyer and ensure that this important matter is dealt with. Now is the time to do a will and decide on your Powers of Attorney. Another detail to review before you’re married is insurance. You need insurance for your home and your vehicles, and you should consider mortgage insurance, too, if you have one. It is also the right time to look at life and disability insurance in case something happens to the major wage earner in the home. A good lawyer can help you with all of these steps. He is there to guide you and help make sure everything runs smoothly.

Is It stIll a good time to be a toronto condo investor?
ben Myers
Sales of new condominium apartments in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) topped 20,000 in 2018, close to the 10-year average. This was coming off the all-time market high of over 35,000 sales in 2017. Sales boom and then, poof, three to four years later all of those pre-construction sales have led to shiny new high-rise buildings. But how much is too much? 26 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
In 2011, there were approximately 28,000 new condominium sales in the GTA, and prices for new downtown projects shot up from $500 persquare-foot (psf) to $600 psf in less than a year. Real estate brokers approached their clients with sexy marketing material and investment projections, showing rents rising rapidly and lofty return-on-investment percentages. However, investors started to worry that there were too many units, and questioned whether rents would rise quick enough to meet those Realtor projections. New condo sales
slumped in the second half of 2012, and in 2013, cranes popped up everywhere and the number of condo units under construction spiked. There were some nervous folks in the industry. Fast forward to late 2014 and all of those 2011-launched projects were finishing construction, and starting to complete, resale supply was way up, and there were more choices for people looking to lease a condominium. Resale price growth slowed, and growth in condo rental rates was non-existent. However, rents had risen enough to cover investor’s …continued on page 28
…continued from page 26
carrying costs as rents on a persquare-foot basis for downtown developments hovered around $3.25 psf per month. Satisfied that there was no imminent doom, investors and end-users got excited about buying preconstruction again and sales really picked up in Q4-2015. Sales were booming all through 2016 as well. The only way I can describe 2017 is that it went nuclear! Prices for a couple downtown developments sold for upwards of $1,100 psf, and you thought that $600 psf in 2011 was crazy! Prices had spiked by over 30 per cent in 2017, the market was ripe for a price correction. But the pundits got it wrong again, and prices increased by a more modest 10 per cent last year. As anyone that follows real estate knows, this level of growth isn’t sustainable. So what should you do if you’re a prospective investor? I would recommend getting in touch with a top realtor that specializes in pre-construction sales and get them to run the numbers for you. What will rental rates be like in three or four years? 28 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
Rental rates have surpassed $4.00 psf on many downtown Toronto projects. The projections of Realtors of $3.50 rents from five years earlier, which were highly criticized outside the industry at the time, turned out to be too conservative. According to February condominium apartment listing data from Rentals.ca, the average studio in Toronto was listed for rent for $1,920 per month or $4.54 psf, and onebedroom suites are listed for $2,420 per month or $3.94 psf. In consulting I’ve completed for developers looking at building rental apartments, I frequently come across recently completed condo buildings where average rental rates have increased by 15 to 20 per cent over the last 12 to 15 months. But again, you have to ask yourself the question as an investor, can rent growth continue, and at what point does affordability prevent rents from rising further? So fast forward to 2021 and 2022, when the bulk of the recordsetting 2017 pre-construction condos are completed and private landlords list them for rent, will
they be able to hit the $5.00 psf to $5.50 psf monthly rents required to be cash-flow positive? Will renters pay more than $2,500 per month for 500 sf? 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. Do a lot of research, talk to people with investment properties, and make conservative growth estimates. Good luck.

INVEST IN YOUR LIFESTYLE AND FINANCIAL FUTURE WITH A CONDO
BArBArA LAwLor
For decades and even longer, people have included real estate in their investment portfolios to diversify. Of course nowadays in the Greater Toronto Area, condominiums are selling quickly to both investors and end-users alike. Traditionally, real estate has proven to be a wise investment, particularly over time. Forwardthinkers who purchased condos years ago are reaping the rental and equity benefits of this hot market. These properties have held their value and have delivered a solid return-on-investment. Historically, those who enter into real estate for the long run do well. At one time, real estate was considered secondary to stocks and mutual funds, but it is now gaining its proper place as the wise investment of the masses. Real estate is tangible and understandable, rather than stocks, mutual funds and electronic currency such as bitcoin, which require specialized knowledge and much more risk. End-users have the added benefit of living in their investment while they build equity. Those who purchase as an investment may come from any walk of life. 30 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
At Baker Real Estate Incorporated, we have seen investors who have millions of dollars and recognize outstanding value and potential when they see it. We also have empty-nesters who purchase suites while their post-secondaryaged children are in school, in order to build equity over those years rather than pay out for a
dorm or rent. Then there are families who buy suites as a method of saving toward their children’s future education, and seniors who require supplemental income during their retirement. If you are thinking of investing in a condo for the first time, I have a few tips that will help you make the most of your effort.
“
Real estate is tangible and understandable, rather than stocks, mutual funds and electronic currency such as bitcoin, which require specialized knowledge and much more risk.
You’ve heard the saying, “Location, location, location”? It’s true. Buy in the very best location you can afford. What is a great location? One with easy access to public transit, which will make it easier to rent out your condo. Rental rates will seem more attainable if young professionals can commute
without owning a vehicle. Buy with confidence by researching the builders you are looking at. Check out their reputations and track records. Be realistic about the building amenities, even if there are some you think you would not use. Renters may well make a decision based on those. A major draw of the condo lifestyle is having things such as fitness facilities, party rooms, theatres and the like right in the building – and not having to clean, repair or maintain them. Again, thinking about keeping potential tenants’ costs low, ask about green features in the condo that might lessen utility bills. Other than that, the best advice I can offer is to buy sooner rather than later! Condo prices continue to go up, and mortgage interest rates are still amazingly low.
”
Real estate is less risky as stocks and other on-paper investments, which can bring high returns, then descend to zero in a flash. Even if you overpay for real estate, if you hold onto it long enough, you will likely make a substantial returnon-investment.

Located at 1221 King Street West, XO Condos will be a 14-storey residence containing 297 suites located at the heart of one of Toronto’s most thriving and eclectic neighbourhoods, where Liberty Village, King West, Queen West and Parkdale converge. A neighbourhood of popular restaurants and bistros, coffee shops, galleries and communityowned independent retailers, giving the area its profound and exciting vibe as a place where people choose to live, work and play. 36 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
The location offers immediate access to area amenities and transit by being close to parks, the waterfront, Lamport Stadium and the Exhibition grounds, with direct access to both the King and Dufferin streetcars and only a five-minute walk to the future King-Liberty SmartTrack Station. The project will also offer excellent highway access with close proximity to the Gardiner Expressway. “We fell in love with the area, so we called our residence XO Condos,” says Lifetime principal Brian Brown. “The neighbourhood is undergoing an exciting renaissance, and the junction of King West and Dufferin is a significant location allowing XO Condos residents easy access to many of Toronto’s most coveted neighbourhoods and amenities.”
XO Condos, with contemporary design by Turner Fleisher Architects and interiors by Tomas Pearce Interior Design, will include amenities designed to promote an active and engaged social lifestyle.

Also in the space is a premium fitness facility featuring a dedicated spin studio and indoor and outdoor yoga area. There is also an interactive kids’ zone with outdoor play area, ‘Think Tank’ remote office complete with WiFi, and a large western-exposed outdoor terrace with BBQ and lounge areas. Immediately adjacent to the south is the Dufferin-King Parkette, a large outdoor greenspace which will be an extension of XO Condos’ backyard.
“Lifetime always does extensive research on its neighbourhoods to find out how people live in their urban lifestyles,” says Brown. “As a result, we took special care to ensure residents will be able to enjoy the outdoors and we designed most of the amenities with extensions out to an outdoor terrace, unique to XO Condos.” XO Condos represents an excellent opportunity for downtown homeownership with its range of one-bedroom to three-bedroom suite layouts starting from the $400,000s. Suites feature contemporary finishes and Eurostyle kitchens.

A long-overlooked stretch of the city is turning heads with a striking vibrancy and eclectic style that can no longer be ignored. It’s a bit of a mix, with artisanal shops, great pubs, some decadent dining and cool indie design boutiques. On the heels of developing The Heartwood at Queen and Woodbine, Fieldgate Urban, a leading infill developer, found the perfect location in Leslieville – at Queen and Leslie – to develop The Poet. Offering an intimate sixstorey mid-rise with only 69 suites ranging from one to three 38 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
bedrooms, the building meshes seamlessly with the fabric of the streetscape while fulfilling the need for more residential options in the community. The Poet will back onto a small park, and the majority of suites will be accompanied by significant outdoor space. Purchasers will also have access to a shared rooftop terrace. The Poet’s lush setting gave inspiration to the architecture and interior design. Awardwinning firms TACT Architecture and figure3 Design have infused the development with both sophistication and comfort. Vibrant interiors feature an emphasis on
textures, graphic lines and natural materials. “The Poet is an example of the kind of work TACT Architecture describes as warm modernism,” says Prishram Jain, principal at TACT Architecture. “There is a deliberate focus on natural materials such as wood and masonry because, while the goal is to have a modern aesthetic, we want to balance that with a sense of home by using materials that feel warm and approachable.” When it comes to amenities, the design team at figure3 focuses on fostering a feeling of community, providing purposeful features to extend the living space. There is
a generous lobby with concierge and a well-equipped gym. The large rooftop terrace features a barbecue and private dining area, providing an oasis above the city. A media room and lounge offer great flexibility for entertaining – the console has been designed so that it can open up or be sectioned off to accommodate residents’ needs. “We wanted the design to act as an extension of the site and Queen Street East,” says Dominic DeFreitas, principal at figure3. “There is a great relationship between the interiors and the outdoors, with plants and natural elements used throughout.” The architect also wanted to maintain an element of privacy within the outdoor space along Queen Street. The ceiling and side walls of the balconies are clad in a wood pattern, and the railing is not all glass; rather, three-quarters of it is a masonry-styled finish that enhances privacy. “The choice to feature masonry
along the railings was a thoughtful decision to merge practicality and privacy with playful design, with this feeling of the façade weaving in and out,” says Jain. Leslieville has consistently been ranked among the most desirable places to live in Toronto, though purchasing opportunities have been sparse. There is a new Netflix studio set to open, and General Motors is launching its first-ever innovation centre. The area is well serviced, with access to the Gardiner Expressway and DVP as well as transit, and the Relief Line South is anticipated to move forward, which will service the area with a subway extension. Grocery stores – from Loblaws and No Frills to Farm Boy – are all within walking distance. The Poet brings an opportunity to enter a community that is in the midst of significant growth and budding interest.
The Poet is a six-storey, midrise collection of 69 residences including three townhomes, ranging from one-bedroom to three-bedrooms.

Stepping out at Line 5 Sitting on the balcony enjoying a morning coffee. Stepping outside with guests to admire the sunset over the spectacular city skyline. Putting your green thumb to work with some container gardening. A balcony isn’t just an optional amenity, it’s part of your lifestyle and an important feature in your new condo. Reserve Properties and Westdale Properties decided to include a balcony or terrace in each suite at Line 5 Condos. Located at Yonge and Eglinton, Line 5 Condos is at the city’s geographic core, but set back from the hustle and bustle of busy Yonge Street, on Broadway. Line 5 enjoys exceptional access 44 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
to all the city has to offer – a vibrant neighbourhood, 24-hour transit plus rapid transit in all four directions with the completion of the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, shopping, dining, businesses, greenspace and more. The set-back from the main street is ideal for calm, outdoor relaxation. A balcony is more than just an outdoor space – it enables residents to feel connected to their neighbourhood and the sights and sounds don’t remain one step removed by a wall of glass. Of course, the floor-to-ceiling windows bring in an incredible panoramic view – but it’s nice to be able to move past that glass.
Ranging from studios to three-bedroom suites, there are numerous designs at Line 5. With interiors designed by the awardwinning firm U31, suites and the building’s common areas are infused with luxurious finishes and timeless style. The colour palette is subtle and relaxing. Suites maximize the use of square footage and enhance the daily flow of activities. Openconcept suites allow for flexibility in function. Spa-like bathrooms and ensuites indulge. Balconies add the dimension of outdoor living. Reserve Properties and Westdale Properties put a lot of thought into
developing ideal amenities for a contemporary lifestyle. Hot and cold food delivery storage helps keep the kitchen under control. For online shopping and business delivery, parcel delivery storage keeps the clutter out of your suite and allows you to pick up your packages on your own time. The shared working space keeps work and personal life separate. A dedicated ride-share lane in the courtyard keeps traffic congestion off the street and there’s no wait out on the road in bad weather for a ride. A variety of fitness facilities support different activities and provide state-of-the-art equipment, in addition to an ultramodern interactive training studio for a new type of virtually guided workout. There are change rooms, a steam room, a sauna and a spa lounge, too. From the concierge service in the stylish U31-designed and
furnished lobby, to a well-heeled party room, a demo kitchen, storage lockers and a pet spa, Line 5 has all the necessities, plus a host of amenities to enjoy all year round. The ground level has a private outdoor yoga and zen garden, with water features and seating woven into the lush grounds. The seventh floor puts residents high up above the busy urban corridor. The art studio gives you room to be creative, with plenty of natural light streaming in, connected to tranquil outdoor space – and a great view. There is an outdoor theatre, a fire pit and plenty of seating. Enjoy dining al fresco in the outdoor BBQ and dining lounge. On the ninth floor, the shared working space by day turns into a social club at night, with a large outdoor terrace. Another BBQ and dining lounge offers more seating and dining options, alongside the outdoor pool and sundeck. An outdoor games lounge brings some fun and friendly competition outdoors, just beyond the quiet of the library lounge.
Life at Line 5 is designed around the needs of a modern lifestyle, and enhanced by the continuous flow from indoors to out. These ideal spaces and niches have been curated with your comfort in mind. For more information, visit Line5Condos.com.

“Psst! We are about to share one of our top-secret entertaining tips with you. The next time you host a backyard barbecue party, try smoking the cocktail glasses before filling them, table-side. It’s so easy but so impressive. Light a thumb-sized piece of fruitwood (apple, cherry, peach), place it on a fire-safe cutting board, and cover it with your glass. As the flame extinguishes, beautiful fragrant white smoke will circle around the glass, flavouring it lightly. Pour in a finger (or two) of Kavi Reserve Coffee Blended Canadian Whisky (kaviwhisky.com), neat. Serve alongside a salted chocolate creme brûlée and get ready for your guests to flood Instagram with pic upon pic of your spectacular creation!” – Maddie and Kiki, BBQ Entertainers “I love to use outdoor space as an extension of the home. My own patio space flows nicely from my living room to outside, so I have included many of the same elements outdoors that you find inside my home. Pillows, rugs, decor and even a styled bar cart are all things I have on my patio. Always remember the importance of outdoor items being washable or made for the season. I have an entire line of outdoor pillows that I created for our Canadian climate. Also remember that accessories are welcome outside and really set the stage for entertaining! I love the adorable Canadian, handmade bird feeders from Moore Design Birdfeeders (mooredesignbirdfeeders.com) They’d make an amazing addition to any outdoor space.” – Jo Alcorn, HGTV Designer 48 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
The very first thing you want to think about when designing your backyard is how you’ll be using it. From there, try creating different zones. You can help distinguish these areas with different types of lighting and/or outdoor rugs or plants.
“Coming off a long, cold winter, you might be dreaming of eating home-grown foods, prepared and served outdoors. Well, the fresh-food growing season will be here before we know it. Fact is, gardening season starts now so it is time to think about how you want your yard to look this summer. Are you a backyard farmer? Plan your harvest for maximum yield regardless of weather conditions. Want to have it made in the shade? Make sure you’re selecting the right tree so that you and your family can come together for backyard mealtime around a happy and healthy living specimen. When it comes to backyard dining, I love MH Fine Foods (mhfinefoods.com) sauces, a perfect addition to Cullen’s navy beans for a BBQ baked bean side dish.” – Ben Cullen, Cullen’s Foods and Mark’s Choice “Summertime is barbecue time! Here are my tips for a successful summer of grilling and smoking foods. To start the season, give your barbecue a good spring cleaning; a clean barbecue is hotter and healthier, and proper maintenance produces more deliciousness. Consider replacing your grill brush; I recommend either wire coil brushes or wooden paddles. Both are a better alternative to the traditional wire bristles that tend to gum up and have the bristles fall out. If you are into live fire grilling and smoking of foods, try out a variety of charcoals from around the globe. Each produces different levels of heat and flavour. If you want to try a new type of grill, I love the Inferno Grill (vivereltd.com). Most importantly, this year and every year – have fun! Enjoy time with your family and friends around the grill. Make deliciousness and bring happy smiles and full bellies!” – Chef Ted Reader #itbetasty

Budget news
first-time homebuyers of
New homes get extra incentive
The federal government’s new 2019 budget may give new-home buyers a shot in the arm toward purchasing their first home; even more if they buy a newly constructed one. The proposed First-Time Home Buyer Incentive program would give eligible first-time homebuyers the opportunity to share a part of the cost of buying a home with Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC); five per cent for resale homes, 10 per cent for new builds. This would reduce the size of a new homebuyer’s insured mortgage. The program is expected to benefit approximately 100,000 first-time buyers over the next three years. No on-going payments would be required with the Incentive, and families would have lower monthly mortgage payments. For example, if a borrower purchases a newly constructed $400,000 home with a five per cent down payment and a 10 per cent CMHC shared equity mortgage ($40,000), the borrower’s total mortgage size would be reduced from $380,000 to $340,000, reducing the borrower’s monthly mortgage costs by as much as $228 per month. Terms and conditions for the First-Time Home Buyer Incentive will be released by CMHC. 56 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
To make sure the program helps those with legitimate needs, the Incentive would have specific eligibility criteria, as well as guidelines to ensure participants are able to afford the homes they purchase. To qualify, first-time homebuyers must have household incomes under $120,000 per year, plus participants’ insured mortgage and the Incentive amount cannot be greater than four times the participants’ annual household incomes. HigHligHts include:
• CMHC would provide five per cent of the value of a home for a first-time homebuyer through a shared investment. • This shared investment would be increased to 10 per cent for a newly built home. This step is to encourage the construction of new housing supply. • The budget also proposes to increase the Home Buyers’ Plan withdrawal limit from a Registered Retirement Savings Plan to $35,000 from the current allowable amount of $25,000, providing first-time homebuyers with greater access to their RRSP savings to buy a home.

Educating Home buyers On “BEhind-thE-Walls” building Practices
A group photo at recent Hard Hat Tour at Allegro in downtown Aurora.
On Saturday, March 2, 2019, Geranium held an educational tour of a home under construction at its new community of Allegro in downtown Aurora. The tour took guests through a pre-drywalled home where they were informed about the building practices that go into a Geranium home, termed a “Hard Hat Tour”. Two groups of approximately 30 individuals were taken on a “behind-thewalls” guided tour through the home, opening as a model home this summer, by General Site Superintendent Brent Shaw and Allegro Site Superintendent Guy Marcello. Each group spent up to 60 minutes viewing the basement, 60 New Home + Condo Guide | Mar. 30–Apr. 13, 2019
main floor and second floor, while learning how Geranium builds above Ontario Building Code and applies best practices in construction methods and materials to ensure a high-quality home for its homeowners and generations to come. During the past nine years, when construction programs permit, Geranium has organized informative Hard Hat Tours. The response is always excellent, and participants leave with current knowledge about the complex building process. Guests also receive a “Construction and Craftsmanship” book to take home, highlighting items
showcased during their tour. Geranium has created many master-planned communities such as The Neighbourhoods of Cardinal Point in Stouffville and Friday Harbour Resort in Innisfil, and built more than 8,500 homes in Ontario. For over 40 years, Geranium has had a reputation of providing top-quality construction and high caliber finishes, installed with meticulous attention to detail. For more insight on Geranium’s approach to home building, view the Construction & Craftsmanship video and visit geranium.com, for information on move-in ready homes and communities Geranium is building.
