VANCOUVER

Property Profile | PARK&METRO TOWNHOMES

AFTER WOWING HOMEBUYERS with stylish, forward-

thinking condominium homes, Park&Metro is

about to release 24 highly anticipated townhome

residences. And like their predecessors, these

homes are going to shake up the way homebuyers

think about the Cambie Corridor.

Located just a few blocks from the burgeoning

amenities of Marine Gateway, there’s a totally

different feel to the neighbourhood where

Park&Metro is just beginning construction — a quiet,

residential enclave that’s truly one of Vancouver’s

hidden gems. “Very few people are aware what a

significant difference there is in ambiance when

you’re only a block off arterials like Cambie Street

or Marine Drive,” says Nic Paolella, Marcon’s

development manager. “Streets are lined with

flowering cherry trees, you’re steps to

parks, and because there’s very little

vehicle traffic, it’s safer for walking

or cycling.”

Sales manager Celia Chiu adds that

the Westside address resonates with

buyers who want prestige plus excellent

access to quality schools for their children

including Sir Winston Churchill Secondary

School, a public secondary school that’s

one of Vancouver’s two International

Baccalaureate schools, and one of

only three offering a French Immersion

program. Plus there’s easy transit access

to UBC, Langara College, and SFU’s

downtown Vancouver campus.

cover story

16 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Neighbourhood with Character“People love the fact we’re bringing back the red brick

architecture that’s always been popular in this residential

neighbourhood,” Celia says, pointing to dramatic vertical

accents and gated individual entries. Even more intriguing

is the visual interplay created by horizontal metallic accents

and glass inserts in each front door. You could say it’s a

perfect blending of tradition and contemporary minimalism—

or you could just make it easy on yourself and say these

homes look great.

Inside too, Park&Metro’s townhomes are designed with the

exceptional attention to detail I’ve come to expect from this

experienced, local developer. Kitchens feature solid-slab, easy

to clean backsplashes. Cabinetry is a contemporary high-gloss

finish with integrated wall ovens, fridges, and dishwashers

as well as a personal favourite — two built-in USB/charging

stations for your iPhone, iPad, and laptop.

There’s storage too — lots of storage, including a full-height

pantry. Result? A clean, modernist look with plenty of space to

satisfy the most passionate home chef. Plus there’s the comfort

of air conditioning in every home.

“And of course, Park&Metro continues the Marcon tradition

of designing master bedrooms that feel truly grand — lots of

room for a king-sized bed plus night tables,” Celia says. Plus

there’s a luxurious ensuite featuring extra-deep soaker tub,

glass shower with both hand-held and rainfall shower heads,

as well as dual sinks, walk-in closet, and floor-to-ceiling tile

feature walls.

Oh and here’s another cool standard, one I haven’t seen

before. Every Park&Metro home includes a wall safe in

the master bedroom closet — meaning you’ve finally got

somewhere secure for your passport, jewelry and other

valuables. Brilliant.

Want yet another enticement? The property’s existing

boulevard will be transformed into a public park as part of the

enhancements the City of Vancouver is implementing as part

of the new Marpole community plan.

Park&Metro will be located at West 64th Avenue and

Columbia Street in Vancouver. Presentation centre open

noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 688 Southwest Marine.

Townhomes now selling: condominium homes ranging from

one- to three-bedrooms also available. For more information,

visit marcon.ca/parkandmetro or call 604.325.8111.

People love the fact we’re bringing back the red brick architecture that’s always been popular in this residential neighbourhood. –Celia Chiu


South CambieA neighbourhood on the rise

YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER that trying

to get around South Cambie during

the Canada Line construction was an

exercise in frustration. You might have

even shunned shopping or dining in

the neighbourhood. You can toss all

and any excuses to the wind once

you’ve ventured into this burgeoning

neighourhood that offers a plethora of

great dining, shopping and activities for

all ages.

South Cambie might be one of the

smallest of Vancouver’s neighbourhoods

but it’s got a lot of panache! This former

sleepy enclave burst onto the scene

as a cultural melting pot waiting to be

discovered. It’s home to a variety of

upscale, bohemian and chic boutiques,

bakeries, bars and restaurants.

You’ll also find lovingly restored

“Vancouver Specials” co-habiting with

million dollar contemporary homes. This

enclave will soon be home to condos,

townhomes and apartments as the city

has rezoned parts of South Cambie

allowing for high-density development.

Over 1,000 units are in the works up and

down Cambie from 16th to 41st Avenues

along the Canada Line.

Also worth discovering are the the

neighbourhood Crown Jewels: Queen

Elizabeth Park and Nat Bailey Stadium.

South Cambie is also renowned for its

top-notch hospitals, great educational

institutions, the posh Oakridge Shopping

Centre, and let’s not forget the great

ethnic eateries, funky watering holes and

distinctive boutique shops.

It’s all about location. A central city

neighbourhood attracts a certain type

of person: One who embraces cycling

or taking transit to work; someone who

likes to walk out to enjoy the restaurants

and shops — and that someone typically

has a healthy income. South Cambie

residents are now affluent upper mobile

young professionals and families, as well

as empty nesters with deep pockets.

by Michelle Hopkins

Neighbourhood Profile | SOUTH CAMBIE

18 YPNEXTHOME.CA

With all the changes in this corridor,

living here isn’t cheap. An older, tear-

down will put you back $1.5 million

and a new home will cost upwards of

$2 million. However, once a number of

condo projects are built, it will make

living here more aff ordable!

For Bill, a 51-year-old married painting

contractor with two young daughters,

the proximity to both downtown

Vancouver and eclectic Main Street was

a real draw.

“We got insight living in Vancouver of

how great it is to live centrally. And this

is the fi rst neighbourhood outside of

downtown where we really felt at home,”

adds Bill.

BATHROOM SPACES are often small and

people tend to think they need to be

decorated like most other rooms – when

they just don’t! Bathrooms often speak

for themselves with beautiful tile work,

finishes and fixtures. Don’t cover that

beauty up with artificial flowers and fuzzy

rugs! I wanted to have fun with this, and

so many comical thoughts came to my

mind while writing. You’ll notice that this

time I decided to focus on the Don’ts

instead of the Dos – enjoy!

By Yanic Simard

DECORATING DON’TsIN THE BATHROOM

DON’T decorate your toilet

I cannot believe that seat, lid and bowl

covers are still on the market.

DON’T use coloured toilets or tubs

Remember when pink toilets were in?

Well, rest assured knowing that will

never come back.

DON’T even think about installing carpet

Carpet is not easy to clean, meaning it’s

not hygienic and that it’s just gross!

DON’T display your toilet paper

Just because it’s in a cute basket

doesn’t make this a cute idea.

DON’T keep your toilet cleaning

brush by the toilet

Everything has its place, and when

it comes to cleaning supplies it’s in

the closet.

DON’T make the focal point your

shower curtain

Check out Yanic’s accessory line, Yanic Simard Selected, by visiting online at ysselected.com

If you can switch out the curtain for a

clean sheet of glass, that would be my

fi rst option. If not, something white

with a subtle texture or pattern that

seems to disappear would be second.

DON’T mix and match your towels

This just looks messy.

DON’T try and match whites

It’s best to get your tub and toilet at the

same time from the same place and the

same manufacturer to be sure they each

are in the same shade of white. If one is

even a little off from the other, one will

look more yellowish (translating into

looking old and dirty).

DON’T position your toilet in the sight line

If you’re starting from scratch, never

have your toilet be the fi rst thing you see

when you walk in. Lay out the room so

you see anything else fi rst (such as the

vanity or shower).

DON’T have sconces as your main

source of lighting

Always try and have overhead lighting

such as pot lights, a fl ush-mount or

pendant because for getting ready

(applying make-up or shaving) this alone

will not do a good enough job.

DON’T exhibit your toothbrushes

Keep these in your vanity where they

belong – no one wants to see the pieces

of broccoli left over from dinner last night.

DON’T mix fi xture fi nishes

Keep the look consistent with one fi nish

– polished chrome being my favourite

and a classic.

After going through the full list of don’t’s,

maybe if you do them all – you’ll have

the perfect bathroom space!

Understanding mortgagedefault insurance.By Alisa Aragon

Advice | MIND OVER MORTGAGE

Alisa Aragon is a Mortgage Expert who develops short & long term strategies that are customized for each client. Her strategies include the best mortgage with the most favourable terms and rates

to suit your needs. DLC Mountain View. www.YMSG.ca or [email protected]

MORTGAGE DEFAULT INSURANCE IS

COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MORTGAGE

INSURANCE. It is often mistaken for

homeowner/property insurance or

mortgage life insurance. Homeowner/

property insurance protects the

individual’s home and possessions in the

home against damages including loss,

theft, fi re or other unforeseen disasters.

Mortgage life insurance is designed to

repay any outstanding mortgage debt in

the event of homeowner death or long-

term disability.

The mortgage default insurance

increases the opportunities for

homeownership with a low down

payment, as saving for a 20 per cent down

payment can be di� cult in today’s housing

market. There are two types of mortgage

options; conventional mortgages, which

are loans with a minimum 20 per cent

down payment, and high-ratio mortgages,

which are loans with less than 20 per cent

down payment.

In Canada, mortgage insurance

is required by the Government of

Canada on all high-ratio mortgages.

The insurance protects the mortgage

lender only against a loss caused by

non-payment of the mortgage by the

borrower and it is not a protection

for the homeowner. However, the

mortgage insurance enables borrowers

to purchase a home with a minimum

down payment of fi ve per cent.

Mortgage default insurance is provided

by insurers such as Canada Mortgage

and Housing Corporation (CMHC),

Genworth Financial Canada and Canada

Guaranty. Each mortgage insurer has its own criteria for evaluating the

borrower and the property, and it decides whether or not a mortgage

can be insured. The lender and not the borrower selects the mortgage

insurer. It is possible that the mortgage application can be approved

by the lender but might not be approved by the insurer.

The mortgage default insurance premium is a one-time charge

and it is paid by the borrower to the lender. The premium can be paid

in a single lump sum at the time of closing or it can be added to the

mortgage amount and repaid over the amortization period (or the

life of the mortgage). The cost of default insurance is calculated by

multiplying the amount of the funds that are being borrowed by the

default insurance premium, which typically varies between 0.5 per

cent and 6.0 per cent. Premiums vary depending on the amortization

period of the mortgage, the loan to value ratio, the size of the down

payment and the product.

Example of a premium calculation for a home purchase:

Property value: $400,000

Down payment: 5% or $20,000

Mortgage basic Loan amount: $400,000 - $20,000 = $380,000

Amortization period: 25 years

Loan to value ratio: 95%

Premium amount: $380,000 x 3.60%

Default insurance cost: $13,680

Total mortgage amount: $393,680

* The cost of default insurance is subject to change if the purchase price or appraised value, the amount of down payment or the amortization changes. The fi nal premium and the cost of the mortgage default insurance will be disclosed in the mortgage commitment document from the lender.

It is important to note that for insured mortgage loans the

maximum purchase price or as-improved property value must be

below $1,000,000. The borrowers can port the mortgage loan

insurance from an existing home to a new home and may be able to

save money by reducing or eliminating the premium on the fi nancing

of the new home.

Since there are di� erent products available from individual lenders

and are subject to lender’s guidelines, it is important to talk to a

Mortgage Expert to analyze your situation, present several options and

help you decide which product works best for you.

BURNABY/NEW WESTMINSTER

JENNIFER MARDINI RECENTLY welcomed her fi rst baby – son

Carter – into her life and into her home. Here’s her experience.

New Home Guide: This is your fi rst child and your fi rst home.

What changes did you make to your home to welcome Carter?

Mardini: My husband Jairo and I bought our fi rst home in

March 2014. It has three bedrooms, so we knew eventually one

of the rooms would become the baby’s once we were ready.

Other than a bedroom for our new bundle of joy, we made

some space in one of our living rooms to fi t his playpen, which

also serves as a bassinet and change table.

NHG: Did you know you were having a boy, and how did you

plan, design and decorate the baby room accordingly?

Mardini: Yes, we knew we were having a boy – I couldn’t

not know the sex of my fi rst child. I’m a planner; I need to be

organized.

Carter’s room was our extra “closet” before he was born, so

we had to move everything out once we started working on his

room. When we fi rst moved in, we painted the entire house –

all the bedrooms were painted grey. So I knew I wanted to use

grey as the starting point, with lots of white. I also wanted to

add an accent chevron wall and then add

blue and green accents.

NHG: What is the theme of Carter’s

room — neutral or more boyish with

sports, cars and trucks?

Mardini: It’s very modern and

contemporary – lots of grey and white,

accented with navy and some light

blues and greens here and there. Lots

of patterns, too – I’m not the colourful,

safari jungle type.

NHG: Describe the little guy’s room —

space, layout and furnishings.

Mardini: Carter’s room is about 100 sq.

ft. and is furnished with a white bedroom

set, including a crib that converts into

a double bed, a six-drawer dresser

and a change table. It also has a full

closet, a navy and white area rug, grey

chevron curtains and a grey and white

glider chair for me.

NHG: Now that Carter’s with you,

anything you wish you had done

di� erently in preparing his room?

Mardini: Carter’s only a month and a

half old, so outside of eating, sleeping

and pooping, there’s not a whole lot

that he needs other than our attention.

We don’t use his room too much right

now because he sleeps in the master

with mommy.

NHG: What other adjustments did

you make in your home for Carter’s

comfort and safety?

Mardini: Nothing really. We did receive

a baby video monitor as a shower gift

– we use it when he’s napping. Once

he starts crawling around, we’ll

defi nitely have to reorganize and

remove

some things.

NHG: What advice would you have for

other fi rst-time parents when it comes

to preparing their home for baby?

Mardini: De-clutter! From the garage

to the basement, bathrooms and

bedrooms. We de-cluttered the entire

house of things we didn’t need or use

anymore. It’s amazing how quickly junk

adds up. And start early – even if it’s a

slow start. There’s always something

to do, so for me, the earlier the better.

Start with the basics and go from

there. Try to do something every day

so it doesn’t feel like you’re cramming

everything in at once.

NHG: How is he settling in?

Mardini: Quite nicely – I think it’s

mom and dad who have had to

do the settling in.

NHG: How is mom doing?

Mardini: I’m doing great overall! Tired,

but we all knew that. Adjusting, of

course, and getting used to a whole

new routine. I love being a mom –

Carter’s mom!

“ My husband Jairo and I bought our fi rst home in March 2014. It has three bedrooms, so we knew eventually one of the rooms would become the baby’s once we were ready.”

NEUTRALS ARE GIVEN a bad wrap sometimes – bland and boring,

stale and sterile. But when utilized successfully, neutrals can be

soothing, serene and sophisticated.

To keep a neutral palette dynamic and exciting, here are my top

design strategies:

1. GO GRAPHICIn my recently completed laundry room, I really wanted to achieve

something serene – but not boring – so I chose to utilize a

graphic treatment on my fl oor. In this space I wanted to remain

really practical with my budget, so I needed to use a material with

THE NEWhow to keep neutrals dynamic and exciting

minimal cuts and at a reasonable price point. I chose to use

simple 12-by-24-inch tile, from Creekside Tile Company, in

three neutral shades (black, medium grey and a light grey) and

lay the tiles in a herringbone pattern on my fl oor. This principle

could also be applied in a graphic area rug or wall art – think

repetitive shapes and contrasting shades for a graphic focal

point in your space.

2. USE PATTERNPattern is a really essential way to create visual interest when

using a neutral colour palette. For my backsplash, I wanted it

to read white, but still wanted it to be bold and have lots of

presence. To achieve this, I used a 4-by-16-inch matte white

tile and repeated the herringbone pattern I utilized on my

fl oor. To ensure the pattern stood out but didn’t compete with

my fl oors, I chose a light grey grout so the pattern was still

obvious, but not over powering. Consider incorporating pattern

in textiles like throw pillows or upholstery, and do not be afraid

to layer pattern. The key to keeping it looking polished and not

too chaotic is to ensure the scale of each pattern employed

is di� erent than its neighbour. Vary the use of large graphic

patterns, smaller organic patterns and tight repetitive patterns.

I argue that pattern is one of the most important design

principles – whether using neutrals or not. They always bring

life and style to a space.

3. ENSURE THERE IS CONTRASTUtilizing the design principle of contrast is another way to

ensure a neutral space doesn’t feel boring. In my laundry room,

I knew would have to break up the amount of cabinetry I have

with some kind of visual contrast, as all of my cabinets from

Cutler Modern Living are similar in tone to my fl oor tiles. I

chose to use white in my counters, my Whirlpool appliance set,

and backsplash to provide lots of visual contrast to the greys in

my cabinets and fl oors.

Another way think about this approach is my 70-25-5 per

cent colour rule, where 70 per cent of the space is done in one

colour (in my case grey), 25 per cent is in a secondary colour

(white counters and backsplash in my laundry room) and 5 per

cent of a surprise pop of colour (I chose yellow). This colour

formula is a tried-and-tested way to achieve a harmonious

look to the space. Using enough contrast in the space keeps it

from feeling visually boring.

4. GIVE IT A SMALL POP Adding a little bit of colour will absolutely ensure the space

doesn’t feel fl at. The wonderful thing about an all over neutral

palette is that you can add basically any colour to the space

and it will stand out. Repeat this pop of colour at least three

times in di� erent applications – in my case we used yellow in a

textile in this pillow from Bouclair, in the tulips and with some

of the Lemon Aide cleaning supplies I left out as their yellow

packaging was too pretty to hide. Think about incorporating

a soft textile, a piece of wall art and a shiny or refl ective

accessory in similar shades of a surprise colour to add another

visual layer to a neutral palette.

5. VARY YOUR TEXTURESWhen working with a neutral colour palette keep it fun

and interesting by ensuring you vary your textures. For

example, in a living room think about utilizing fl u� y pillows,

soft throws, textured woods and sleek ceramics. The mix of

textures, even if all in neutral tones, will provide enough variety

for the eye to keep the space from feeling fl at. In my laundry

room, I varied live edge woods, textured melamine, glossy

appliances and matte surfaces like my tiles and my black matte

Brizo faucet to ensure visual variety.

IT’S JUST 24 HOURS TILL CLAUDIA AND

JOEY MOVE INTO THEIR NEW HOME

at Guildford the Great in Surrey. And

after more than a year of looking, the

couple couldn’t be more excited.

“I’m defi nitely Type A, so I knew

exactly what I wanted,” Claudia says

with a twinkle in her eye. “A single-

family house wasn’t in our budget,

but we knew we didn’t want a condo

either. I registered us for every new

townhouse development in the area

and must have gone into 25 or 30

showhomes — after a while, they all

started looking the same.”

Then one day the couple spotted

a sign for Fleetwood Mac — another

Dawson+Sawyer development that

was almost complete — and all that

changed. “You can tell they’ve put

a lot of thought into the fl oor plans

and I love the coloured front doors,”

Claudia says.

There was just one glitch, the

project was virtually sold out. “Then

Bonnie, the sales manager told us

Guildford the Great was getting

ready to launch, and it was like all the

pieces of the puzzle fell into place,”

Claudia says.

On opening day, Joey and Claudia

immediately fell in love with one of

Guildford the Great’s four-bedroom

fl oorplans. “For now, we’ll use the

downstairs bedroom as a den, but it

will be easy to turn into a guest room

when we need to. It’s even got its

own ensuite so visitors have their own

space — I’ve never seen that before.”

The kitchen was yet another “wow”

factor. “I love baking, so having an

island that has no obstructions like

a sink is going to be fantastic.” She

grins. “We both have really big families,

and here we’ll have enough room for

all of us to be together when we’re

entertaining.

“We’ve been married for fi ve years

now, and this is our anniversary gift to

ourselves,” Claudia says. “We’re both

taking two weeks o� work while we

move which will make it like a vacation

as we start this new chapter of our

lives. Knowing we’ve made a smart

decision and that this is a place we

can live in for a long time feels — well

it feels great.”

the Great, visit dawsonsawyer.ca.

WE HEARD MAJOR news about Vancouver’s evolving urban

landscape this week. In the last few months there’s been a

lot of hand-wringing and criticism directed at City Hall for

proposing to demolish the viaducts at Georgia Street and

Dunsmuir Street. Naturally, many people were worried about

tra� c congestion, their commute and the costs associated

with this huge project. Some were unhappy that they didn’t

feel there was enough public input into the decision.

Nevertheless, City Council voted 5-4 to go ahead with the

demolition.

This is a great decision for many reasons! Obviously, those

things are hideous concrete eyesores from a bygone era,

when misguided city planners felt it would be a fantastic

idea to throw a freeway right through the middle of the

city. Fortunately, communities on the East Side organized

a powerful and ultimately successful opposition to this

plan, but not before the viaducts and the Granville Street

Bridge were built with the freeway in mind. As a result, the

surrounding streets were never upgraded to allow the viaducts

to accommodate the amount of tra� c they were built for:

with a capacity to carry up to 1,800 vehicles an hour, they only

actually carry 750, which is less than 10 per cent of tra� c going

into the downtown core.

This leads to the second reason: the Prior/Venables roadway

leading o� the Georgia viaduct is an extremely dangerous

roadway for both bikes and pedestrian tra� c, and the proposal

for combining the Current Expo and Pacifi c Boulevards to

allow for almost the same amount of vehicle tra� c downtown

will be safer, and more e� cient than the current road

confi guration. The small percentage of tra� c that will have

to be re-routed can be accommodated by existing east-west

streets like Hastings and Broadway.

Thirdly, the demolition would add a further three acres of

park land to the existing park proposal that will add to the

creation of an exceptional urban waterfront park. The plans

for this park have been in the works with Concord Pacifi c for

many years, the fi nal proposal is contingent upon what the city

decided to do with the viaducts. Getting rid of the outmoded

and ugly viaducts is also a step forward in the City’s Greenest

City Initiative, as well as the 2040 Transportation Plan, both of

which aim to keep a steady rate of car and truck tra� c into the

downtown core, despite a growing population, via convenient

and e� cient transit, pedestrian and bike access to the city.

The last reason this is a good plan, is that getting rid of

the viaducts will make use of under-utilized land, and create

connectivity between the historical districts of the downtown

core, the Downtown East Side, Chinatown and False Creek.

As the False Creek Flats are continually developing into an

extension of downtown, this park, transit and public space

will connect all those important parts of the city, open up

view corridors, and contribute to Vancouver’s growth while

maintaining its status as one of the world’s most livable cities.

Goodbye viaducts!

AS IF PURCHASING A NEW home isn’t

intense enough, homebuyers (with the

exception of fi rst-timers) also have to

sell their current properties. The fact

is, few homes are ready to go on the

market as-is.

It’s not just a matter of tidiness –

though that’s certainly crucial. It’s about

helping potential buyers to connect

emotionally with your space. That means

making your home welcoming to as

many people as possible, often at the

cost of your own personal taste. This

isn’t easy, but a professional stager can

help. Your Realtor may even have one on

sta . If a stager isn’t in the cards, there

are steps you can take on your own.

First o , de-clutter. Chances are

you’ve got twice as much stu as you

need to show your home to its best

potential. In addition to removing

obvious messes, this includes things

such as extraneous furniture, children’s

toys, knick-knacks and family photos.

This can be emotionally di� cult, but

remember: the goal is to make it easy

for potential buyers to imagine their own

possessions in your space.

Next, fi x unfi nished projects. If buyers

see loose fl oor tiles and cracks in the

wall, they’ll wonder what other issues

are lurking under the surface. Don’t give

them cause to worry.

To make rooms appear larger, replace

pu y, over-sized furniture with sleeker

pieces. In the bedroom, you’re better

o showing a queen-sized bed and two

small bedside tables than a king with

no space to spare. To fi nd the right

pieces, you can beg, borrow and, if

necessary, lease.

Bright paint or outdated wallpaper?

Replace them with neutral wall colours

and add vibrancy with throw pillows and

vases. Splurge on fresh, sweetly scented

fl owers for an open house; they’ll pay

for themselves. Mirrors are a wonderful

tool for fi lling empty walls. And, whatever

the décor in your bathroom, thick white

towels will lend a hotel-like vibe.

For extra curb appeal, give your

front door a fresh coat of paint and

temporarily take your storm door o the

hinges. Invest in two urns; plant them

with pretty, seasonal fl owers. In winter,

cedar branches draped with ribbon are

just as beautiful.

I can guarantee that all this work will

have a huge payo , so keep your eyes

on the prize. After all, in your brand new

home, you can have things exactly the

way you want!

NOVEMBER 14TH is approaching

with much anticipation for Donna

Dalkie, sales manager for Zenterra

Development’s Hyde Park at 28th

Avenue and 156 Street in South Surrey.

That’s the Grand Opening of the

award-winning community and its three

furnished townhomes — including a

master-on-the-main floor plan and

a four-bedroom family home with

impressive backyard patio.

While Dalkie has successfully sold over

half of the 156 homes from a storefront

presentation centre in Grandview

Corners, she’s realistic that some

homebuyers just need to see the final

product in living colour before they buy.

“We’ve had a lot of local interest in our

master-on-the-main homes which offer

double car garages and 2,800 square

feet of living,” says Dalkie. “You can’t

always visualize from a floor plan so I’m

excited for people to walk through the

finished home and experience the layout

— the incredible vaulted ceiling, covered

deck and floor plan that enables a couple

to live on one level yet have the flexibility

of two more bedrooms upstairs and a full

recreation room downstairs.”

With Hyde Park’s original display suite

garnering accolades in this year’s Greater

Vancouver Home Builders’ Association

(GVHBA) Awards, one can only anticipate

an even more impressive sight when its

showhomes open this weekend.

Interior designer Mila Djuras has

created an enticing palette of finishes

to complement the homes’ European

aesthetic. Kitchens featuring quartz

countertops and full slab backsplash

are the showpiece with soft-close

cabinetry in a choice of classic shaker or

contemporary two-tone Italian flat panel,

and stainless steel appliances including

a natural-gas cooktop. Beyond glamour, practicality reigns with built-in recycling

centre, tankless hot water, built-in pantry and under cabinet task lighting.

Three acres of the 10-acre site designated to greenspace

A network of paths bring a sense of discovery to this park like community with its

100-year-old Douglas Fir trees and connects to nearby schools and the Shops at Morgan

Crossing — with over 130 stores, restaurants and services.

Bringing the community together is the 5,550 square-foot Lancaster Club with a host

of amenities including a home theatre, fully-equipped kitchen, lounge, fitness centre and

multipurpose sports court.

Hyde Park’s three-bedroom townhomes are priced from $489,900, four-bedroom

townhomes start at $569,990 and master-on-the-main plans from $735,990 (including GST).

Come tour the three new showhomes opening November 14th at #136 - 2853

Metro Vancouver’s Three-Legged Housing Market

Michael Ferreira at UDIFORGET THE HOUSING BUBBLE, the

naysayers, and prophecies of doom

and gloom. In his annual address to the

Urban Development Institute, Michael

Ferreira, managing principal in Urban

Analytics, was enthusiastic about the

first three quarters of 2015 in Metro

Vancouver’s real estate market — and

for good reason. By the end of the third

quarter (Q3) there had been more than

2,000 more sales than at same point

in 2014 — an impressive 20 per cent

increase over last year and almost two-

thirds higher than the entire year in 2013.

This year, Ferreira’s list of success stories

was longer than the list he provided

in 2014 and included The Ridge at

Bose Farms, Exchange, Verve, The

Independent, Black+Whites and RiverSky

among the highlights.

While he acknowledged there are

numerous factors driving the market,

Ferreira chose to focus on three that

impact the market most strongly: buyers,

land and municipalities.

First Leg: BuyersLocal consumers have been more

active in the past year, especially in the

growing townhouse market. Entry level

buyers, many with help from the “Bank

of Mom&Dad”, as well as empty nesters

looking for the elusive master-on-the-

main product are making their presence

known. There’s also been an increasing

demand for larger units, including

the high-end, luxury condo market

— like Cressey’s Beverley and Ridge

developments — that are aimed squarely

at empty nesters who are willing and

able to spend seven figures on a condo.

Not surprisingly, new immigrant and

offshore buyers, many from Mainland

China, continue to influence Metro

Vancouver’s market. Attracted by the

active, healthy lifestyle and quality

schooling, this demographic has been a

consistent driver in Metro Vancouver’s

market since 2009/2010, but has been

ramping their activity up even more

during the past year.

“Because the Chinese currency is tied

to the US dollar, their eff ective buying

power has increased by 30 per cent,”

Ferreira explained. “One realtor I spoke

to put it into perspective this way: for

the same price as a small condo inside

central three ring roads in Beijing, they

can buy three new condos in Metrotown

— condos that are fi nished and include

parking. Plus they can get a mortgage on

their investment unit — in China they’d

have to pay cash.

Second Leg: LandA ripple of laughter ran through the

room when Ferreira noted one developer

had described recent land sales as

“absolutely bonkers.”

In the increasingly competitive land

purchasing and assembly arena, some

new rules of engagement are emerging,

and Ferreira noted the days when local

developers have had the land market to

themselves are vanishing — especially

in the Inner Metro market. Here again,

the off shore buyer is contributing to this

change. Well-capitalized and increasingly

sophisticated, this demographic brings

patient money — often lots of it — and

is prepared to overpay relative to current

market values in order to establish

a foothold here.

Local developers will now need to

strap on the boxing gloves and get into

the ring with these new players. They

might choose to accept terms they

wouldn’t have considered in the past, or

look further from urban cores, or up the

focus on banking land that does come

available. Either way, Ferreira described

the upward pressure on pricing may well

be creating “the perfect storm” over land

sales in the near future.

Third Leg: MunicipalitiesOf the three legs, Ferreira noted it’s the

municipal end that’s toughest to get a

handle on.

From the industry’s perspective, lack

of fl exibility and blanket policies that

fail to anticipate a project’s unique

conditions or consider current market

conditions and land values are ongoing

sources of frustration. Bureaucratic red

tape and lack of political will when it

comes to the tough decisions about

appropriate forms of alternate housing to

address aff ordability also fi gured high in

frustration factor.

From the municipalities’ side, Ferreira

said he had a sense many staff ers he

spoke with were reserved, even cautious

about how they answered his questions.

“Most indicated the system is simply not

set up to make some of the changes

the industry would like to see made

quickly. However, there was a genuine

desire to work with the industry to

streamline processes, while respecting

public process and the desires of elected

offi cials.”

He also stressed that almost everyone

in the industry expressed appreciation

for the diffi culties city staff ers have in this

balancing act.

And for anyone worried about often

suggested housing bubble, Ferreira’s

research revealed this astonishing

statistic: of the 21,600 concrete

condominiums scheduled to complete

by the end of 2018, a whopping 87

per cent are already sold — suggesting

there’s no need to worry about over-

supply, despite the number of cranes

dotting the urban landscape.

of Urban Analytics in Vancouver. More

NEWS FLASH: if you’re looking for a

single-family home that’s spacious,

located in an established residential

neighbourhood, and puts a whole new

spin on the phrase “luxurious elegance,”

then you owe it to yourself to check

out Southbrooke in South Surrey.

Space for LivingLot sizes are nothing short of astonishing

— a minimum of 6,000 square feet and

some as large as 10,000 square feet.

“Families love the idea they can have a

real yard where the kids can play,” says

Susan Vollmer, marketing manager. “And

because these homes are fee simple,

buyers of all generations enjoy the

freedom of being able to live life

on their own terms. It’s no wonder we

have such a great mix of homeowners

from growing families to empty nesters

to downsizers.”

Even better, since all remaining homes

are still pre-construction, it’s a great

opportunity to put your personal stamp

on the place you choose to call home.

Think beyond the traditional choices of

light fixtures, countertops and flooring

— although you’ll certainly have those

as well. At Southbrooke you can decide

to add an outdoor kitchen or fire pit,

a media room, even a wine cellar. “So

really, you’re getting a custom home in a

well-established neighbourhood without

paying the sky-high custom home price

tag,” Susan says.

Experience ExcellenceAnd make no mistake, these homes

aren’t just beautiful, they’re built with

all the attention to detail that Genex

is known for.

Kitchens are poised to accommodate

a passion for serious cooking: massive

centre island with a raised eating bar at

one end, pot drawers everywhere, Jenn-

Air appliances, and space for the entire

family to hang out during the holiday

season or other celebrations.

Living rooms are inviting, with a

fireplace, big bright windows, plus lots

of seating space for when you want to

just relax. Luxuriously appointed ensuites

create private, adult sanctuaries. Add in

Southbrooke’s many, oh-so-intelligent

details like laundry rooms with linen

closet and full mudrooms, and you’ve

got the makings of more than a home—

it’s the makings of a lifestyle.

Southbrooke’s showhome and

presentation centre are open noon

to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 10th

Ave. and 165th St. in South Surrey.
