//EDITOR’S NOTE

New-home buyers are often driven by diff erent infl uences, but there’s no doubt lifestyle is an increasingly important factor. Whether you’re

considering a home near the beach, a golf course or a city penthouse or pied-à-terre, you’re likely looking to compensate for what you don’t have in your current residence.

� e amount of living space is usually the issue – either too much or too little. Most young families are looking for more living space, which is why builders are designing homes with interiors that maximize every square foot of living space to make the most of your money.

As we get older, the quest for living space may take a diff erent direction. Downsizing is often the answer, although many homeowners with existing homes in suburban or rural areas are acquiring townhomes or pied-à-terres in the city. An urban location gives owners and their friends a chance to enjoy the social and cultural activities of the city without having to drive for hours to get home.

In today’s hectic world, your new home will be your retreat, so it’s important to fi nd is to fi nd a home that suits your needs and lifestyle. In this issue, we profi le new communities which off er the perfect place to put up your feet, plus the latest industry news and features about buying and owning a new home. Enjoy!

What rules your new home choice?Lifestyle increasingly infl uential for buyers

Far too many people, it seems, have a moving horror story. Not just tales of damaged possessions, delayed deliveries or unavailable trucks, but far

worse instances of outright crime. Moving company ripoff s, in fact, are one of the top scams monitored by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).

After saving for a down payment, paying lawyer’s fees and other costs associated with buying a home, who can blame buyers for wanting to save a few bucks on the one area they likely feel they can tackle themselves, or by hiring a discount mover to do the job on the cheap?

� e problem with the latter choice, especially, is the high risk you run in falling victim to the various schemes employed by unscrupulous moving companies. To protect yourself, the Canadian Association of Movers, which holds members to a strict code of ethics, urges consumers to research prospective moving fi rms: contact the CMA for checklists and referrals, as well as other sources such as Industry Canada and the BBB.

Moving into a new home should be an exciting and celebratory experience. Ensure it remains that way by not cutting corners on this last important step.

Choose your mover wiselyFor this important part of the homebuying process, take the time to do proper research

CELEBRATE SUMMER AT VICTORIA VILLAGE where recreation and leisure abound

Summer may be coming to a close, but it’s not too late to celebrate its beauty at Victoria Village, where you’ll discover country in the city at Niagara’s “other” waterfront where

opportunities for recreation and leisure await at your doorstep. It was a long winter, so with summer fever rampant, homebuyers

are looking to new home communities where they can spread their wings and enjoy the outdoors and recreational pursuits. That’s what they’ll find at Victoria Village. Located right on the Welland Canal Trail in St. Catharines, it’s an active person’s paradise for blading, walking, running or hiking and, of course, biking – nearby trails are part of the Greater Niagara Cycle Route. It’s off the beaten track, yet there are two golf courses within five minutes, organized recreational programs for kids and adults alike at nearby rec centres and parks, and White Oaks Fitness & Squash Club.


Although Victoria Village is just a two-

minute drive from the QEW, the canalside location provides an undeniable sense of

country living and yet is never far from every

lifestyle need and desire.

BAYVIEW-WELLINGTON HOMES | Victoria Village

Residents can enjoy the recently opened Niagara Outlet Collection Mall, Canada’s largest open-air mall. With it being five minutes away, residents are literally around the corner and yet will be spared the hustle and bustle of traffic congestion. It will open its doors to more than 100 retail shops and services, including Bass Pro Shops, fashion giant Forever 21, Banana Republic, Bench Outlet, Brooks Brothers Outlet, Calvin Klein, Gap Outlet, Izod, Michael Kors Outlet, Naturalizer, Osh Kosh, Tommy Hilfiger and Van Heusen, to name just a few. There will also be a farmer’s market. St. Catharines, Niagara Falls and Welland also offer great shopping opportunities within minutes.

Presented by Bayview-Wellington Homes, Victoria Village presents fine living within luxury homes along the Welland Canal, one of the most famous waterways in the world. This Maritime-influenced community is where residents will enjoy a spectacular parade of ships from international waters. Not far from its flagship, golf course community of Niagara-On-The-Green, Victoria Village pays homage to soldiers awarded the Victoria Cross through its street names.

As always, your welcome to Victoria Village is warm and friendly. Staff is pleased to offer a tour of existing homes, with many offering immediate closing dates. One they will encourage you to visit is the Preston 3, a two-storey, four-bedroom home of 2,215 sq. ft. with a two-car garage. Its country kitchen is ideal for this country setting, set within an open-concept main floor that includes a living/dining area and a family room alongside the kitchen, and a main floor laundry. Upstairs, you enter the solace of the master suite through double doors and discover a huge walk-in closet and an ensuite with Roman soaker tub and separate shower. Two of the three additional bedrooms also have walk-in closets. All homes include central air, gas fireplace and fully sodded lots with paved driveways. BW Homes excels at customization on new construction or modifications to existing homes, so buyers can always achieve a home for their needs.

Homebuyers can choose from bungalow, bungalow/loft and two-storey plans so everyone from empty nesters to the growing family will find a fitting design to suit their needs. Bungalow plans offer living areas of 1,160 to 1,250 sq. ft. to as much as 1,750 sq. ft. with the loft option. Two-storey plans are spacious with sizes ranging from 1,521 to 2,530 sq. ft.

All these activities and lifestyle opportunities make Victoria Village a wonderful location with a wonderful starting price – $299,900 for a home of 1,521 sq. ft.

Although Victoria Village is just a two-minute drive from the QEW, the canalside location provides an undeniable sense of country living and yet is never far from every lifestyle need and desire.

Life. Imagined.

Whoever said you can’t have it all, doesn’t live here.

There’s nothing like a little extra space to spread your wings. With larger lots, double

car garages, and great rooms for family gatherings you simply get more than you

bargained for with a Phelps home. Not only do you get more space to live, but the

craftsmanship and modern designs have been specially chosen and carefully built.

And what really makes a Phelps home special is where we put it. In Smithville. Away

from the hustle and bustle of a big city, surrounded by nature’s best - but close

enough to the things that matter; schools, farmers’ markets, and local wineries.

Visit our model home and start living the life you imagined.

//COMMUNITY FOCUS

Hamilton’s newest condo residence proudly positions itself at the corner of Main and everything – everything

Hamilton has to offer: downtown shopping and dining, live theatre, galleries, entertainment and sports events, with the beauty of the Niagara escarpment to the south and the fabulous waterfront to the north. Nothing is more than a 15-minute walk in any direction. 150 Main West presents city living at its finest!

Built in 1954, Hamilton’s Federal Building is getting a bold new makeover by the Vrancor Development Group as 150 Main West. This condominium conversion will bring new life to the landmark building, combining the old and the

DISCOVER 150 MAIN WESTat the corner of Main and everything

new in a vibrant new vision of the downtown core. The former seven-storey landmark will be augmented by five additional storeys, combining classic heritage architecture and urban chic design in a unique transformation that is the first of its kind in downtown Hamilton. A total of 150 suites will be available within the existing structure and the new ultra-modern addition.

With its high visibility, the sales office of 150 Main West has been busy with great response from the public, and sales growing day by day. Enthusiasm and excitement about this new downtown residence continues to gain momentum as construction gets underway for a spring 2015 completion date.

Residents will be just steps from the patio bars, clubs and dining hot spots of Hess Village. Only minutes away is one of the city’s premier shopping destinations, Locke Street, with its spas, shops, boutiques and dining spots – the perfect place to


VRANCOR DEVELOPMENT GROUP | 150 Main West

rendezvous with friends for a night on the town. There is equally easy access to GO Transit and Hwy. 403 to Toronto, Niagara and London.

Luxurious one- and two-bedroom suites will offer spectacular balcony views of the escarpment and Hamilton Harbour. With suites ranging from 577 sq. ft. for a charming one-bedroom to the luxurious living found within the largest suite of 1,734 sq. ft. with two bedrooms, two balconies and three bathrooms, an urban lifestyle is well within reach.

Life is all about finding the right balance and 150 Main West offers this within and beyond its walls. The fourth floor amenity space provides the perfect transition from indoors to out, with the building’s indoor swimming pool and deck opening onto a spectacular outdoor terrace complete with casual conversation areas, lounge chairs and barbecue area, along with an indoor party room.

Vrancor is playing a key role in revitalization of downtown Hamilton. Redefining the City’s skyline with five new buildings including 150 Main West and Bella Tower, which will neighbour this property. There are plans in place to build five new hotels in Ontario within the next two to three years.

Vrancor’s vision has been unfolding in a 10-year planning and design process by developer Darko Vranich and designer Gunther Bluesz. Helping them realized their vision have been NEUF Architects, Lintack Architects, Sefarian Design Group, IBI Planners and Union 31.

Vrancor Group Inc. founder and CEO, Darko Vranich, is a leader in real estate development and the hospitality industry, with real estate ventures including luxury hotels across Ontario. Vrancor has established an impressive track record of developing, designing, and redeveloping award-winning properties and delivering high-class urban designs.

Enjoy living the dream at the corner of Main and everything... Welcome to 150 Main West!

OAKVILLE & BURLINGTON

//CITY FOCUS

» by WAYNE KARL photos TOWN OF OAKVILLE

O akville may be historically known for the famous Ford plant, oil refi neries along the lakeshore and up-market homes, shops and restaurants.

� ese days, Oakville may still show some of those classic characteristics, but it is increasingly earning a reputation as a city on the rise with a self-suffi cient, driving economy.

Blessed with a strong natural location along of the shores of Lake Ontario, with easy access to major Canadian cities as well as those in the U.S. via the QEW and rail lines, Oakville now shines in business as well as culture, recreation and leisure.

Located toward the southwestern end of Lake Ontario, Oakville helps comprise one of the largest consumer and industrial markets in Canada.

� is geography and proximity to large industries and communities in Hamilton, the Greater Toronto Area and the US borders, plus a strong transportation infrastructure, are central to the prosperity that Oakville has enjoyed in recent years.

With a vision to become “the most liveable town in Canada,” the Town of Oakville is intent on building a robust economy with potential for future growth, and the local economic development authority has a comprehensive plan to capitalize on traditional strengths.

Oakville Town Council, in fact, recently won an Economic Developers Council of Ontario (EDCO) award in the category of Redevelopment Initiatives, for its leadership in developing the Bronte Business Action Plan. � e Bronte Business Action Plan, led by the town’s Economic Development department, was initiated to further Bronte’s economic development and urban revitalization. � e plan is using the Four Pillars of the Main Street approach – Organization, Marketing, Physical Design and Economic Development – to achieve the goal of economic development and urban revitalization. � e Bronte BIA will implement the action plan through to 2016.

“� is award recognizes that great things can be achieved when we work together to create Canada’s most livable town,” says Mayor Rob Burton.

Home to the Ford Motor Co. of Canada plant and Canadian headquarters since 1953 – an important facility for the company over the years – Oakville has enjoyed economic diversifi cation in recent years.

A strong and diversifi ed economic base off ers an excellent location for both new and expanding businesses. More than 260 national and international corporate headquarters constitute an important part of the 4,500 employers in Oakville. Oakville’s top 100 employers by industry include companies from the automotive, manufacturing, pharmaceutical, professional service and construction industries.

Companies here have access to a high quality local work force, with 56 per cent of residents holding a post-secondary education – about 12 per cent higher than the provincial average. While manufacturing industries account for 15 per cent of employment, managerial, business and administrative categories make up 36 per cent of occupations.

Some of Oakville’s major employers have performed well over the last few years, with fi rms such as Goodrich Landing Gear and Javelin Technologies increasing employment.

Sheridan College operates a new Applied Research and Collaboration Centre, for use by the faculty, students and external partners specifi cally involved in research projects administered through Sheridan’s offi ce of Applied Research and Innovation.

A number of new businesses have also made their way to Oakville, bringing more than 650 new jobs and absorbing more than 411,000 sq. ft. of commercial and industrial facilities.

An historic town with a thriving waterfront, Oakville has preserved its rich heritage, with many 19th Century buildings in the downtown core. Downtown also boasts one of two local harbours on Lake Ontario, featuring more than 1,000 slips and moorings for sail and powerboats. Bronte is the location of Oakville’s second harbour, and has an abundance of fi ne shops and restaurants.

Supporting all this development is a strong and further improving transportation infrastructure. Prime location at the centre of major transportation routes – the QEW and Hwys. 403 and 407 – facilitates access to major markets in Canada and the US. � e network includes toll and toll-free expressways, commuter and urban public transit, by rail and bus, national and international rail service for people and goods, global passenger and cargo aviation services, and extensive inland and international marine shipping facilities.

Illustrating how important transportation is to the city, the Town of Oakville is currently surveying residents to help identify community priorities from now until 2031. � e “Switching Gears” Transportation Master Plan is intended to deliver an exceptionally detailed level of integration between land use and transportation planning, to help identify Oakville’s transportation needs and consider a diverse range of options to satisfy future travel demands.

Says Mayor Burton: “Our goal is to off er more balanced, effi cient and sustainable transportation choices for people, goods and services to move around Oakville. Public

input is key to helping us focus on transportation priorities that matter most to our community.”

Switching Gears is one of several master plans that together with other key planning initiatives will create a path to a more livable and sustainable Oakville into the future, the Town says.

Developers see the growth potential in Oakville, and a number of projects are underway from companies such as Branthaven Homes, Mattamy Homes, New Horizon Homes and Menkes Developments.

Oakville also boasts abundant natural attractions and culture, with more than 2,400 acres of parkland, theatres and galleries, Glen Abbey Golf Club, and the annual Waterfront Festival and Jazz Festival.

Culture in the city, in fact, received a big boost in 2012 with the grand opening of the new Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre (QEPCCC). Located at 2302 Bridge Road, QEPCCC off ers more than 144,000 sq. ft. of active living space, making it one of the largest venues in Canada to house such a diverse collection of recreation, arts and cultural opportunities. It off ers classes, workshops, camps, drop-in activities and events for all ages and abilities. � e facility boasts an aquatics centre, two gymnasia, a youth centre, an older adult centre, dance studios, a recording studio, fi ne arts studios, a rehearsal hall, black box theatre, gallery and museum space.

“� is new facility symbolizes our goal to be the most livable town in Canada, and its opening clearly demonstrates our continued progress towards that goal,” says Burton.

These days, Oakville may still show some of those classic characteristics, but it is increasingly earning a reputation as a city on the rise with a self-sufficient, driving economy.

BURLINGTONBuilding on history with economic growth

Ten years or so ago, if you were asked to describe Burlington, you might have thought of it as just west of Oakville, lots of land space, a bit of a bedroom community between Toronto and Hamilton, with some big box retail outlets.

Burlington still shows those characteristics, but is increasingly earning a reputation as a city on the rise, with a progressive local government and economic development offi ce helping to build a self-suffi cient economy. Burlington shines in business as well as culture, recreation and leisure.

And like Oakville, Burlington’s proximity to Hamilton, the GTA and the U.S. is central to its prosperity.

� e city has a clear vision of its future. Core economic strengths focus on advanced manufacturing, software development, fi nancial services, biotechnology, environmental and logistics enterprises. Increasing diversity is one of the keys to future growth, as this would build resilience and sustainability to expand further beyond its traditional industrial markets.

For example, the city is expanding its partnerships with nearby post-secondary institutions, including McMaster University and Mohawk College, in emerging fi elds of technology, research and skills training.

In addition, Mayor Rick Goldring says the Burlington Economic Development Corp. is one of the city’s top priorities. City Council has endorsed aggressive growth targets and has formally asked BEDC to take a more direct and active role in the short- and long-term development and marketing of Burlington.

Already well positioned with extensive access to regional, national and international transportation networks, the city is also the benefi ciary of recent investments in infrastructure to improve highways and mass transit, to facilitate business growth and community development.

� e city has enjoyed substantial growth recently. By 2006, the population topped 160,000 and continues to grow; development is spreading north, with farmland north of Dundas St. (formerly Hwy. 5) increasingly giving way to suburban housing.

BEDC has a very clear and ambitious plan for the city. With a mission statement “To promote a healthy environment and prosperous community by facilitating opportunities for economic growth,” BEDC is positioning Burlington as a globally competitive community.

Currently in Burlington, a disparity exists between local jobs and the skill-set of residents, says BEDC. Residents have to commute outside the city to fi nd work, particularly in professional services. As a result, approximately 55 per cent of Burlington residents commute to jobs in Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto. In the manufacturing industry, the opposite occurs, as Burlington imports labour from outside the city.

BEDC’s strategy is to create the right job opportunities for residents to live and work in the same community, improving their quality of life.

Burlington City Council recently approved a BEDC employment land strategy, with fi ve districts that have the potential to increase the city’s non-residential tax levy revenues by two per cent per year. � is should generate more than $600,000 or about 87,000 square metres of non-residential construction, annually.

All of this is important news for prospective new-home buyers looking to buy in and around Burlington. � ese plans mean more local job opportunities, which leads to employment and average wage growth – key determining factors to support new housing and increasing real estate values.

Developers catering to this demand include: Branthaven Homes, with two- and three-storey luxury townhomes in downtown Burlington, as well as a new condo project; Tobyn Park Homes is building ParkCity, a condominium also in the downtown area; and Adi Development Group is building Mod’rn Condominium, in the heart of the city.

Residents can enjoy a variety of cultural and local attractions in Burlington, from the famous Royal Botanical Gardens to the Burlington Art Centre, home to the world’s largest collection of contemporary Canadian ceramics.

Parkland is abundant in Burlington, with 75 parks occupying 800 acres within the city Key among them is the Spencer Smith Park, a highlight in downtown old Burlington which has undergone signifi cant redevelopment over the years to become one of the city’s central recreational centres along the waterfront.

For those looking for amateur sports and recreation in their community, Burlington has a vast array of excellent programs and youth leagues, as well as the Burlington Cougars junior hockey team.

//IN THE NEWS

A consortium of the GTA’s most respected developers and builders recently presented a cheque for $750,000 to representatives of Southlake Regional Hospital Foundation at a special reception at the Town of Aurora Municipal Offices.

Aurora Mayor Geoff Dawe, who was instrumental in organizing the donation, spoke as the guest of honour. Dr. Dave Williams and Neila Poscente accepted the group’s cheque on behalf of the Southlake Regional Hospital Foundation. The funds will be split between Southlake’s Images for Life, a diagnostic imaging technology campaign, and to support the future priority needs of the hospital.

The donation is from the Aurora 2C Landowners Group which is comprised of TACC Developments Inc., including Arista Homes, Fieldgate Homes, Opus Homes and Paradise Homes; Mattamy Homes; Brookfield Residential; Lindvest/Aurora Glen; Meadows of Aurora (a Christian Seniors Lifestyle Community); Metrus Developments, CountryWide Homes, Greenpark Group of Companies, Royalcliff Homes; and Treasure Hill Homes.

The development of the lands west of Bayview Avenue commenced in 1993 and the area known as Aurora 2C represents the last major residential development opportunity in the Town of Aurora. Rarely have new home developments taken so long to come to fruition. Decades of planning will result in a very special community.

With more than 40 per cent of the lands set aside for public greenspace and connections to a planned trail system that will stretch across town from the Oak Ridges Moraine and the 2C lands, through Newmarket and beyond, the Aurora 2C lands are one-in-a-million.

The Aurora 2C lands represent a perfect marriage of providing residents with playgrounds, ponds and forests to explore while at the same time protecting the natural environmental areas. The Aurora 2C public space includes 15.8 km of planned trails linking parklands, environmental protection areas and an urban wildlife park including the Ducks Unlimited property and the McLeod Wood Nature Reserve and stormwater ponds.

A special grove is being planted to help preserve and propagate butternut trees (an endangered species), as well as a group of “companion” oaks. When built out, the Aurora 2C lands will provide approximately 3,000 homes consisting of single family, semi-detached, townhomes and seniors’ and lifestyle apartments for approximately 9,000 new residents.

The Town and the builders/developers of the Aurora 2C lands are committed to incorporating a variety of green design features and building technologies in the Aurora 2C community, including the use of energy efficient systems, environmentally-friendly materials, water conservation measures, improved air quality and more. Ultimately, this community will be a place where new residents can put down roots, establish proud new family traditions and watch their children flourish.

The Aurora 2C Landowners Group’s financial contribution to the Southlake Regional Hospital Foundation represents their commitment to the health and happiness of the residents that will inhabit the new community and to the greater community.

A recent survey by Equifax Canada revealed some rather startling facts – chief among them that many Canadians have no problem falsifying fi nancial information when applying for a mortgage.

By “many,” we mean 10 per cent of respondents. � at may not sound like a lot, but considering the implications of these actions, it’s a surprisingly high number.

Indeed, one in 10 Canadians mistakenly believes it’s okay to infl ate their annual income when applying for a mortgage, according to Equifax. Nine per cent admitted they hadn’t been entirely truthful on a credit or loan application.

“Make no mistake, lying on your loan application is a type of mortgage fraud,” warns Tim Ashby, vice-president, personal solutions, Equifax Canada.

� is is what’s known as fi rst-party mortgage fraud, a growing problem in which applicants misrepresent their fi nancial circumstances by fudging earnings, pay stubs or worse, lying about their employment situation altogether.

Lenders, regulators or authorities, to date, haven’t taken this sort of “soft fraud” seriously. Lenders care that the mortgage is serviced and in good standing, and as long as that’s the case, no red fl ags will be raised.

But if there was a setback in the housing market, where, hypothetically, values dropped materially, or mortgage rates increased signifi cantly, and either situation resulted in a spike in homeowners who could no longer aff ord their homes… � ese are the potential scenarios, experts warn, that could lead Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. to further tighten mortgage qualifi cation rules.

Another situation that could have an impact on the mortgage landscape is the investor component. CMHC recently released its 2013 Condominium Owners Survey, which revealed 17.1 per cent of the condominium owning households in Toronto and Vancouver are investors.

While welcome insight into this otherwise not well known sector of the market, the survey raises two key issues: many observers believe the investor component is actually much higher – something in the neighbourhood of 30 to 40 per cent; and the percentage of foreign investors versus Canadians.

How honest are you on your applications?

The bottom line in all of this? Equifax and other experts stress that consumers should always be honest with their personal data on applications, and most importantly, borrow only what you can repay.

Why does this matter? Purely in a market sense, the fear is that condo investors could be susceptible to a massive sell-off should the market experience a downturn. Secondly, the concern is that some of these investors, at least those taking out mortgages from Canadian lenders, are buying these units without disclosing that they actually plan to rent them out. � is, technically, is another type of mortgage fraud.

Looking for the best new home value in the Niagara Region? Look to Rolling Meadows in Thorold, where Great Gulf now offers a new release of three-bedroom townhomes with special introductory pricing! You can

definitely “Live Greatly” for less in one of these spacious, high-quality all-brick townhomes. The designs include fabulous open-concept kitchen/Great Rooms, private master bedroom ensuites and walk-in closets, convenient second floor laundry rooms, and garages with interior access. Plus, for a limited, time, purchasers will receive five free appliances!

What an incredible opportunity to own a new townhome in Great Gulf ’s successful master-planned community. Situated only 10 minutes to Niagara-on-the-Lake and 15 minutes to the U.S. border, Rolling Meadows is a day trip away from attending the Shaw Festival or shopping the retail outlets in Buffalo. It’s also a short drive to a multitude of amenities and attractions including several challeng-ing golf courses, and the verdant vines and tantalizing tastes of wine country. In addition, those with ties to Toronto will find the big city only a 90-minute drive.

That’s if they ever want to leave! Rolling Meadows is home to lovely tree-lined streets, walking trails, parks, schools and beautifully landscaped storm water manage-ment ponds. Residents look forward to a future commercial centre coming to the community for the utmost in convenience. In addition to all of this, owners will enjoy the comfort and confidence that comes with buying a Great Gulf home. Superior design and construction quality are hallmarks of this award-winning builder.

In true Great Gulf style, Rolling Meadows is designed as a community where families can put down roots for generations to come... where kids can ride their bikes and neighbours stop to chat. The townhomes in the new release range in size from 1,090 to 1,750 sq. ft. and begin in price from just $197,990, the best value in

the Niagara Region. You will also find a great selection of detached homes available on 35-, 40- and 42-ft. lots. Ask a sales representative for details.

You can purchase with confidence from Great Gulf. Over the past 35 years, the company has built more than 40,000 homes. Innovative technology, inspired design and committed customer service provide Great Gulf homeowners with un-matched comfort and peace of mind. This is how Great Gulf delivers the “Live Greatly” promise.
