Important considerations

Attention, class

What are the critical things to consider

when choosing a location? There are

so many personal variables, it’s really

up to you to decide.

As an example, if it is just as

important to you to be close to your

children’s school as it is to your

place of work, then look for a place

that offers you the best of both

worlds. If you own a car and want to

use public transportation whenever

possible to save on parking and gas

costs, a location close to mass-

transit may be a better option for

you. If you’re a walker, proximity

to major amenities should be a

definite consideration.

Running errands such as grocery

shopping and banking on foot affords

many health benefits and provides you

with a chance to meet your neighbours

and discover new places, too.

Make a list of your priorities first,

then take the time to assess each

location for its merits and weigh

your options.

Let us know what those priorities

are. We’d love to hear from you!

For many Canadian families, financial

literacy for kids begins with a piggy

bank, maybe an allowance and

perhaps a first bank account.

Some may continue the education

with somewhat more serious lessons

– such as reviewing monthly bank

statements and explaining how

interest works.

Moving into the teen years, families

may entrust the more important

matters of personal finance to our

education system.

But there, we venture to say,

they might well be disappointed.

David Chilton lamented that fact

more than 25 years ago in his best-

seller, The Wealthy Barber. How

much has changed and how well

have things improved?

When it comes to housing in 2016,

the lessons are more important

than ever. Our real estate has been

a top performer for years, but the

resulting costs of living for young

Canadians are skyrocketing, in some

cases, prohibitively high.

More and more organizations see

the need and are offering programs

for financial literacy for youth.

cover story

WHEN MOHAMMED DECIDED he wanted to invest in

a condominium, he looked for a great location in an

amenity-rich area downtown and was pleased to discover

Avenue situated in the well-established West End

neighbourhood.

“I had looked at some places, very casually. Some newly

built, some still in planning phases,” he says. “But, Avenue

certainly stood out as a promising investment.

“The location was central to my decision to purchase

this property,” he adds. “A good location is always an

indication for a good investment; it will always be a

deciding factor. This location is prime for expansion in

Calgary’s growing economy.”

Avenue is a fabulous twin tower development

being built at 5th Avenue and 10th Street S.W. by well-

established developers Grosvenor Americas and Cressey

AVENUE’s great West End location and amenities make good investment

Development Corporation. It has attracted a number of

investors looking to take advantage of the opportunity to

build equity on properties that will hold value.

Mohammed purchased a 960-sq.-ft. two-bedroom,

two-bathroom suite for him and his family. His current

plan for the suite is to rent it out with the long-term goal

of “possibly save it for when my son grows up and would

like to be living in a more central location.”

Avenue West End is 77 per cent sold and those

purchasing “are mainly end users who are not only looking

to live in an amenity-rich, high quality development, they

are looking to invest for the future,” says Robert Duteau,

senior vice-president development, Grosvenor Americas.

“They see Avenue as being located by the Bow River in a

growing West End neighbourhood and see the parallels

with other popular high-end waterfront neighbourhoods

in other cities such as False Creek in Vancouver.

“Avenue combines urban convenience with serene

residential living. It offers a very walkable location just

steps to the downtown, the Bow River pathway and trendy

Kensington, as well, the C-Train is two blocks away and

access to the Plus15 is within a short walking distance,”

Duteau says.

“It’s a buyers’ market out there right now, and people

recognize that now is the opportunity to buy in Calgary

because they can get a really good deal, and furthermore

we’re seeing the lowest mortgage rates, which makes the

cost of owning about the same as renting.

“We have some investors, but several of our purchasers

are first-time buyers, many parents who are helping their

engineered hardwood wide-plank flooring, over-height

ceilings, porcelain tile, marble countertops, impressive

terraces and the CresseyKitchen – a revolutionary walk-

through design that creates a larger kitchen by offering a

highly efficient workspace that is stylish yet functional.

Avenue also offers terrific amenities – a fitness facility,

owners lounge, on-site concierge, dog-washing station

and secured parking and storage lockers.

Suites range from approximately 600 to 2,300 sq. ft.

and prices start from $374,900.

For more information on Avenue, visit the Presentation

Centre and display suites at 1037 5th Ave. S.W., open

Monday to Wednesday, noon to 6 p.m., and weekends noon

to 5 p.m., call 403.530.8455 or visit avenuewestend.com

children purchase and those ready to downsize,” he

adds. “Purchasers of Avenue vary in age and profession,

however, a common theme is that the majority of them

want to live in the building and enjoy the lifestyle that

comes with Avenue.

“For buyers like Mohammed, living downtown is a

lifestyle choice, they do not want to be spending all day

in the car commuting and for downsizers they’re looking

for a lock and leave lifestyle with a close proximity to

amenities, however, wish for a quieter residential feel.”

Avenue is comprised of 316 suites within two towers,

which include a mix of townhomes, flats, tower suites and

a two level penthouse suite.

The high-end buildings will feature extensive use of

glass on the exterior and exceptional finishings such as

THE KENSINGTON BUSINESS

Revitalization Zone (BRZ) has

welcomed LIDO by Battistella to the

neighbourhood.

Annie MacInnis, executive director

of the Kensington BRZ says the

community is delighted Battistella

is keeping and restoring the iconic

LIDO Cafe sign. “We believe this is

another example of the company’s

commitment to architecting buildings

that complement not compete with

the communities in which they are

built – and as a BRZ, we appreciate

this initiative.”

“The iconic LIDO sign holds

sentimental value for generations of

Trending

Developer, Battistella Restores and preserves history in Kensington

Calgarians,” says Ward 7 Councilor,

Druh Farrell. “My husband Tom and

I had our first date at the LIDO Cafe

over 36 years ago. We sat at the bar

and shared a vanilla milkshake out of

a metal cup while we chose music

from the jukebox. Very romantic, and

obviously good luck for us.”

Well known for its all-day breakfast

and affordable menu items, the Lido

Cafe officially closed its doors in

April 2014, after 50 years in business.

Prior to being renamed the Lido Cafe

in 1985, it was home to the Lido

Coffee Shop (1963 to 1985), Pennant

Confectionary (1937), Hewitt’s Fish

& Chips (1939-40) and Sunnyside

Laundry (1921 to 1934), among other

businesses.

Battistella Developments believes

that Lido Cafe is an important part of

Calgary’s history and wants to help

preserve its legacy in some fashion.

Together with Battistella, we invite

you to come and pay tribute to this

piece of history and reminisce one

more time.

BUYERS CAN ENJOY LAKESIDE living and get more

community of Westman Village.

Crafted by Jayman BUILT, Westman Village is

being developed on 13.5 acres on Lake Mahogany

in southeast Calgary blending together numerous

housing types and an assortment of amenities.

“We are very excited; it’s so rare to have a

multi-family development front onto a lake and

offer so many amenities just outside your door,”

says Lisa Feist, vice-president, Sales and Marketing

- Planned Communities. “Westman Village will

offer a unique mix of 887 new homes when

complete with apartment-style condos, luxurious

executive bungalows, choice rentals and active

living with the majority allowing for independent

living.”

The three active living buildings called

the Journey Club will be home to

307 suites and designed to be “age

embracing,” Feist says. “The suites

include barrier-free concepts and

integrated universal design concepts

that make it easier for people to

live independently and age in the

community.” This home style is rental

or life lease (essentially a guaranteed

buy back finance option).

Jayman hosted a grand opening

of its onsite Presentation Centre and

Discovery Centre – two sales centres

with a total of four show suites -

on June 18 and launched priority

“This centre will be focal point

And, that’s not all for amenities

- 30,000 sq. ft. of retail space, which

Property Profile | JAYMAN BUILT

BUYERS CAN ENJOY LAKESIDE living and get more

out their door with a wide range of amenities

and neighbourhood conveniences just steps

away in the fabulous, newly launched mixed-use

community of Westman Village.

Crafted by Jayman BUILT, Westman Village is

being developed on 13.5 acres on Lake Mahogany

in southeast Calgary blending together numerous

housing types and an assortment of amenities.

“We are very excited; it’s so rare to have a

multi-family development front onto a lake and

offer so many amenities just outside your door,”

says Lisa Feist, vice-president, Sales and Marketing

- Planned Communities. “Westman Village will

offer a unique mix of 887 new homes when

complete with apartment-style condos, luxurious

executive bungalows, choice rentals and active

living with the majority allowing for independent

living.”

The three active living buildings called

the Journey Club will be home to

307 suites and designed to be “age

embracing,” Feist says. “The suites

include barrier-free concepts and

integrated universal design concepts

that make it easier for people to

live independently and age in the

community.” This home style is rental

or life lease (essentially a guaranteed

buy back finance option).

Jayman hosted a grand opening

of its onsite Presentation Centre and

Discovery Centre – two sales centres

with a total of four show suites -

on June 18 and launched priority

reservations of all homes....

The apartment condos are

well-appointed with modern kitchens

designed with integrated appliances,

dedicated entries with benches and

“What is truly uniqueis that all of

the community, which will create a

one-of-a-kind lifestyle opportunity.”

Feist says.

In the lobby of the 35,000-sq.-ft.

The parkade level will have a wine

cellar and wine making area, hobby

room and wood-working room. Best of

all most residents will be able to access

the centre through two brightly lit

tunnels or two Plus-15s.

“This centre will be focal point

of the community and we’re thrilled

because we’re building this first so

that these amenities are there for our

homeowners from Day 1,” Feist says.

And, that’s not all for amenities

- 30,000 sq. ft. of retail space, which

will feature a coffee shop, bakery,

grab-to-go healthy food options and

day-to-day conveniences. And, last

but not least, a dining experience you

must experience to appreciate how

tremendous the offering is – two

opportunities for dynamic dining! First,

a steakhouse on the lake, Chairmens

Steakhouse and then Westman Village’s

very own delectable dining with an

emphasis on nutrition, quality and taste.

All this right out your door.

Canadian Home Builders’

Association OWNED AO D

THE FRASER INSTITUTE has published

its annual Alberta elementary school

rankings, showing how schools have

performed academically and which

schools across the province have

improved or fallen behind.

The Report Card on Alberta’s

Elementary Schools 2016 ranks 812

public, separate, francophone, private

and charter schools based on seven

academic indicators derived from

province-wide test results.

“Our report card is the only

objective, reliable tool that parents

have to compare the academic

performance of their child’s school

over time and to that of other schools

in their community,” says Peter

Cowley, Fraser Institute director of

school performance studies.

The data from the 2016 report card

suggests that every school is capable

of improvement regardless of the

type of school, its location and the

proportion of students with special

needs or students in English as a

Second Language (ESL) programs.

For example, one of the fastest

improving schools in the province in

2015 – based on analysis of its results

during the most recent five years – is

St. Catherine Catholic Elementary/

Junior High School, a separate school

located in Edmonton. Despite having

two-thirds of its students identified

as ESL learners, St. Catherine’s overall

rating has steadily improved to 6.6 (out

of 10) in 2015 from just 1.7 in 2011.

Another school Keeler, a public

school in Calgary, also recorded a

significant jump in its ratings since

2011. With 27 per cent of its students

having special needs and 37 per

cent of its students identified as ESL

learners, the school earned a score of

4.0 in 2015 compared to 0.0 in 2011.

Of the 10 fastest improving schools,

six are in Edmonton.

IF YOU’RE PLANNING on moving

this summer, now is the time to

start organizing all your belongings.

Between contents and clutter,

packing up a home is a huge job.

Most people underestimate how

much stuff they have and how long

it will take to sort through it all.

Fortunately, there are some easy

techniques to help you get a jump start

on de-cluttering. The following steps

will help get your home organized and

ready for a summer move.

» Start by sorting and organizing

closets. It’s time to get serious —

if you don’t wear it, get rid of

it. There is no point in moving

unwanted items, it’s just extra work,

time and money. Wardrobe boxes

offer excellent space for hanging

coats, sweaters and snow pants.

» Sort out items no longer used.

Families outgrow things, styles

change, and needs change too. If it

hasn’t been touched in more than

a year, then it probably won’t be

again. Set aside a couple of empty

boxes for donations or items to sell.

» Use sturdy boxes with dividers for

packing breakables. Make sure

cardboard boxes are structurally

sound. Dish-pack boxes with

adjustable inserts that form

individual cells are a great option

for fragile items.

» Think Green. Survey local recycling

options to find the most convenient

solution for recyclables. Organize

recyclables by category: plastic,

glass, aluminum, paper, cardboard,

etc. Earth911.com can help you

find recycling drop-off locations for

different materials and products.

» Care for hazardous materials. Be

conscientious about the materials

being disposed. Toxic items

such as paint, batteries, house

cleaning products, automobile

oils, pesticides and fertilizers are

dangerous to transport and should

not be thrown away with nontoxic

garbage. These items should be

taken to specialized depots.

» Pack it up if it’s not in use. Box up

those things at the back of your

closet that you’re keeping, but

don’t use regularly — like fall and

winter equipment and clothing,

mementos and fine china.

If you start packing in the spring you’ll

be ready for that summer move.

Mid-2016 Housing Review: Benchmark of Major Canadian Markets

Intelligence House has compiled a summary of key housing market indicators and drivers for major Canadian markets year-to-date in 2016. In the Calgary and Edmonton regions, home sales and new housing starts are notably down, with prices in the Edmonton region decreasing marginally. The negative performance of both housing markets reflects many expectations put forth at the beginning of 2016, particularly in regards to the strong declines in new housing starts. That is, however, a necessary step to bring supply levels in line

with current demands in order to relieve any downward price pressure that currently exists in these markets. That said, strong labour market performance in the Edmonton region, coupled with impressive growth in its labour force, generally indicates forthcoming demand for housing ownership. Should these trends persist in the region throughout the year, it is reasonable to expect housing starts within the Edmonton region to return toward growing levels faster than in Calgary.

Intelligence House is Alberta’s newest and most innovative

Real Estate Marketing Agency with a focus on strategic

market intelligence, which includes full research, marketing

and sales / leasing services for the real estate industry.

Mid-2016 Housing Review: Benchmark of Major Canadian Markets

Intelligence House has compiled a summary of key housing market indicators and drivers for major Canadian markets year-to-date in 2016. In the Calgary and Edmonton regions, home sales and new housing starts are notably down, with prices in the Edmonton region decreasing marginally. The negative performance of both housing markets reflects many expectations put forth at the beginning of 2016, particularly in regards to the strong declines in new housing starts. That is, however, a necessary step to bring supply levels in line

with current demands in order to relieve any downward price pressure that currently exists in these markets. That said, strong labour market performance in the Edmonton region, coupled with impressive growth in its labour force, generally indicates forthcoming demand for housing ownership. Should these trends persist in the region throughout the year, it is reasonable to expect housing starts within the Edmonton region to return toward growing levels faster than in Calgary.

Intelligence House is Alberta’s newest and most innovative

Real Estate Marketing Agency with a focus on strategic

market intelligence, which includes full research, marketing

and sales / leasing services for the real estate industry.

Woven &WICKER

SUMMER SUNSHINE MEANS moving it out-of-doors. This year’s hottest

look is wicker. Whether it’s rattan or the modern resin version, this

wonderful woven look is as hot as mid-day in July. Don’t be fooled by

faded memories of a Miami lanai, today’s wicker is stylish and versatile,

and spans from the traditional to the very contemporary!

Advice | CONTEMPLATING CONDOMINIUMS

CONFIDENTIALITY is sometimes

essential for the board of a

condominium corporation. While a

social-club atmosphere is healthy

when times are good, difficult issues

involving specific owners will arise that

require tough decisions to be made.

These are best discussed behind

closed doors, and details should not

appear in meeting minutes that might

later be circulated to owners.

This can be an interesting

balancing act. Some condominium

communities hold open board

meetings, so that other owners

are informed and feel involved. Yet

if the board is discussing possible

foreclosure on suites whose owners

are not paying their contributions to

common expenses, the guests should

be asked to leave, and minutes might

best omit the suite numbers and

names of those affected.

There are other issues that require

confidentiality. Any instance that

could embarrass an owner deserves

privacy. In the first place, an alleged

transgression could be a simple

mistake, and it’s not fair to publicly

discuss the noise thought to be

coming from one suite, for example,

when it later turns out it was coming

from next door. In short, any potential

discipline issue or concern affecting

a homeowner’s personal situation

or finances should be discussed

privately. As well, directors should

be reminded not to disclose those

names to owners who are not

members of the board.

Minutes can and should still be

recorded fully. In this example, board

members, other owners and even

potential home purchasers reading

the condominium documents, all

have a right to know how many suites

are in arrears, what the impact is on

the operating budget and what steps

are being taken to collect the needed

money. Condominium owners

reading the minutes will be reassured

to know that their board is protecting

the collective interest. But specifically

which suites are involved is not

essential knowledge for owners who

are not serving as board members.

Underlying this advice is the fact

that while condominium corporations

are legal entities, they are also

political organizations. Human

relations are important, as is fair

dealing with individuals, consideration

for their circumstances and, of

course, confidentiality on sensitive

issues. As we see over at City Hall

some days, this expertise can even

be beyond the grasp of large-city

politicians and administrators, so we

shouldn’t set the bar too high for

modest condo communities with

volunteer boards of directors.

Yet, best efforts count for a lot.

Whether you are self-managing 16

homes in a four-storey walkup or

govern a 160-home townhouse

development with professional

management, be sensitive to how

it would feel if you were the party

being discussed. Behind closed

doors your directors can have a full

discussion, all the options for action

can be explored, minutes can record

what was decided, but no one will

face embarrassment among their

neighbors beyond the board.

communities to spring up in Calgary

on the Northwest side of town. Here,

you’ll find homeowners who enjoy

having a place for their kids to play,

paths to walk and run, wide open

space and a slower pace of life with a

few conveniences nearby, such as big

box stores, yoga and the market.

The vibe

This Northwest community was

inspired by the British Isles and

provides a series of lush parkways,

ravines set throughout modern rows

of houses and townhouses. The

dramatic Old World ruins at the main

entrance and roundabout will make

you feel like you’ve stepped into the

Irish countryside.

Meet the neighbours

Many areas of Nolan Hill are still

Neighbourhood Profile

Nolan HillModern, with a nod to history

under construction, but the first wave

of neighbours to move in feature a

considerable amount of families with

young children. The abundance of

parks and paths have been designed

with family in mind, and right now,

these are probably the most used

amenities.

In the area

Because the area is new, there is still

a great deal of development going on

but a commercial/shopping centre

is currently under construction with

plans for a State & Main restaurant

and a hot yoga studio. Beyond the

space for kids to play, you have a

number of shopping centres, such as

Beacon Hill, recreational facilities and

schools for all ages within a 10- to

15-minute drive. On the weekends,

the Symons Valley farmers’ market is

the place to go.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Residents are right on the boundary

of the city limits and can expect to

do more driving than the average

Calgarian. However, from the gates,

there are many access points to the

city. Stoney Trail, Sarcee Trail and

Beddington Trail via Country Hills

Boulevard will all serve as convenient

arteries. The airport is roughly 20

minutes away – an advantage to

living in the North. Currently, there

are no regular bus routes from the

neighborhood.

The good, the bad & the rest

Residents who like the suburbs and

the idea of living in a family friendly

community will be at home here.

There’s a wide variety of housing

options, lots of space, several

parks and a fantastic view of the

countryside. On the flip side, residents

who like to have access to a variety

of shops, restaurants and transit,

might not find this community to be

ideal. Furthermore, the commute to

downtown is one of the longest from

anywhere in the city.

Dollars & sense

This area will be mainly focused on

residential and the businesses going

into the local shopping centre will be

on par with what you’d find in many

of the recently developed suburbs of

Calgary. Residents also have access

to many of the box stores in the area,

including Costco, Home Depot and

Future Shop.

for painting great looking walls10 tips

AS A NEW-CONDO OWNER, you have

two choices: you can either stick with

the standard “builder beige” or you

can refine your painting skills, put on

a pair of coveralls and give it a shot.

This is not to say that all new homes

are adorned with builder beige, but

unless you were able to pick multiple

colours in the paint and finishes of

your space, chances are your home

could probably use a new coat.

I was trained to paint properly

way back when I started my design

career more than 20 years ago.

Some of you may know that I began

as a junior designer at Benjamin

Moore Paints. I never dreamed

that I would learn so much useful

knowledge about colour and paint.

So before you tackle any painting

job, big or small, follow these simple

rules for a seamless finish.

1. Buy a metal cage

The cage is the metal handle that

holds the actual roller or sleeve.

The better this is, the longer it will

last, it won’t squeak when rolling or

rust when washed.

2. Buy a sleeve with a plastic centre

The sleeve is the furry cylinder

that you put on the metal cage or

handle. If you buy a cheap sleeve

with a cardboard interior, it will start

to fall apart when it gets wet in the

paint. Then it will leave small fluffs

on your wall and all your hard work

ends up looking poor.

3. Buy a large paint tray!

This is so much easier, as you can

pour almost a full can of paint into

the tray which means less pouring

of paint and hopefully less mess.

This also means less stopping of the

job to pour paint into the tray.

4. Really coat the roller sleeve

When putting paint on the roller,

really coat the roller sleeve. It is

designed to hold paint! Fluffier

roller sleeves hold more paint,

which means you go to the tray less

often and this will speed up the job.

Really soak the roller in the tray so it

absorbs the paint.

5. Avoid tiny strokes in a small area

When applying the paint to the wall

– do not roll it in tiny strokes back

and forth in one small area. Begin by

rolling a large “W” on the wall with

the roller and then roll the wall fully

from top to bottom. This will lie out

the paint better and faster.

6. Apply the recommended amount of paint

Apply the recommended amount of

paint to the wall. People often try

to stretch their can of paint a little

farther by not applying as much

as suggested by the manufacturer.

There is no value in this as the paint

is meant to be applied to a certain

thickness to give you the right

colour and durability. Too little paint

compromises this!

7. Don’t brush all the edges first

Although it is tempting to cut-in

or brush all the edges of the walls

before rolling the paint on, you are

less likely to get a good finish. It is

best to brush a little of the edges

then roll into that wet paint, and

continue this process down the wall.

It takes longer but you will find the

coverage of the colour more even.

8. Always use two coats of paint

Yes, you usually need two coats of

paint to develop the colour well or

to ensure you don’t miss any spots.

There are some brands of paint that

suggest you only need one coat,

but I have found this to work only

with a light colour over another light

colour, and when I take my time

applying the paint.

9. Store your paint cans upside down

Paint does not “go bad” as long

as it’s not kept in extremely cold

conditions. Seal the lid very well

(Place the lid on the can, cover

with paper, and hammer the lid in

place, remove paper) and turn the

can upside down in a cool dry area

for storage. When the can is turned

right side up again, it mixes before

you dip your brush in.

10. Buy a good paintbrush

Buy one good paintbrush. Cost

can be an issue, but a good brush

means you will only buy it once if

you clean it after you have done

the job. A good brush has “flagged”

ends and is angled. Flagged ends

look like the bristles are uneven and

with split ends. This lays out the

paint in a much smoother fashion.

And once you do clean your brush,

use the hole in its handle to hang it

up to dry. Never leave a paintbrush

sitting in a pot! I use a wire coat

hanger turned upside down to dry

my brush. (Hook the brush’s handle

on the “J” shaped end of the hanger

and hook the triangular part of the

hanger over a doorknob.)

BONUS TIP

Can’t find an opener for your paint

can? A screwdriver or keys will

work, but if you are Canadian the

best thing ever is a loonie or toonie

to open the lid of a paint can! It’s

always available and super strong

for this type of job. Thanks Canadian

Mint for the convenient opener!

Even if you are not the best

painter and not using the best paint,

great tools will make the job easier,

faster and it will look better! If you

follow these simple rules, your

newly built house or condo will turn

into your home in no time.
