Helping you in your journey
Small talk
As you review this issue, we hope the
journey toward the discovery of your
new home meets your expectations.
It’s important to bring a fresh
perspective when shopping for a new
home or new condo.
Unlike a resale property, it’s an
opportunity to own a new abode
outfi tted with the fi nishes and features
that you want, not what the previous
owner left behind.
Looking for more home options,
news and advice? Visit us online
and enjoy an enhanced journey that
includes neighbourhood facts and
data, as well as a rich listing experience
with visuals and fl oorplans. You’ll be
able to connect easily when you see
something you love.
We even provide exclusive video
tours of some of Toronto’s best
neighbourhoods. Check out my own
‘hood, The Beaches, noted above.
Visit us at YPNextHome.ca
These days, bigger isn’t always better.
Builders and developers are o� ering
smaller suite layouts, but more in
terms of amenities that take living
well beyond your unit.
When looking for a new home,
think about how you use your space.
Sure, bedrooms are a must-have,
but how do you spend your precious
waking hours?
Many condos o� er an interesting
selection of amenities such as a
swimming pool, library, gym and party
room. The opportunities are endless
for quality “me” time, without ever
leaving the comfort of home.
In terms of your actual suite,
spaces are designed and equipped to
make the most of every square inch.
From open-concept living areas and
furniture-style cabinetry to multi-
functional furnishings, the space you
do have, though perhaps small, will
be the sweetest space of them all.

ACROSS THE GTA, PUBLIC ART
is enhancing buildings and
communities and making them more
attractive and inviting to residents,
visitors and passersby.
The art can take many forms,
such as large playful or modern
sculptures, intricate lighting
installations, coloured and etched
glass embedded into the fabric of
buildings or even patterns and words
integrated into pavement. Some
pieces of public art are not only
decorative but also functional and
provide illumination or a place to sit.
Many pieces of public art help create
a sense of place and some give a nod
to the history of their location.
Public art is a placemaker for neighbourhoods
Much of the public art in the
region was created through
collaborations of land developers,
municipalities and artists.
In the city of Toronto, public
art is funded as part of a new
development. Through its Percent
for Public Art policy, the City requires
developers to spend one per cent
of the overall construction value of
their new developments to create
public art.
There are more than 200 public
art installations that have come as a
result of the public art policy.
Famous Canadian novelist and
artist Douglas Coupland has created
a number of them. He has worked
with the development industry to
create pieces such as Canoe Landing
Park’s large red canoe and the
colourful fi shing bobbers that anchor
Concord Adex Development’s
CityPlace neighbourhood in
downtown Toronto.
The park is enjoyed by residents
and employees in the surrounding
buildings, as well as visitors who
come to experience interactive art.
In this case, in particular, the public
art has also created and reinforced
a sense of community in a newly-
developed area where there wasn’t a
permanent community before.
Coupland also created the soldier
sculpture entitled Monument to the
War of 1812 at Fleet and Bathurst
streets, which was commissioned by
BILD member Malibu Investments.
Outside the city, municipalities
such as Markham and Mississauga
have policies and programs that
encourage developers to include
public art in their development plans,
but they are not mandatory.
In Mississauga, one BILD member
embraced the idea and voluntarily
commissioned a work of art that
is now establishing a sense of
place for a new neighbourhood. A
sculpture by Canadian artist David
James called Heaven and Earth
was unveiled in July outside HOT
Condominiums by Great Gulf.
The landmark sculpture funded by
the developer is located at the corner
of Winston Churchill Boulevard and
Eglinton Avenue West. Sitting at the
gateway to the new community, this
sculpture is topped with a mirrored
sphere can be enjoyed by residents,
visitors and anyone who travels
through that major intersection.

buyers, visit tarion.com or fi nd us on Facebook at facebook.com/TarionWarrantyCorp.
Advice | TARION REPORT
By Howard Bogach
How does your builder rank? Let’s fi nd out
HAVE YOU BOUGHT a new house or
condo in the past year? We want to
hear from you! Every fall, Tarion sends
out surveys to all new homebuyers
across the province. It’s our chance
to hear from you about your new
home experience and your chance
to have your voice heard. Let us
know if your home and builder met
your expectations, and how you rate
your experience with the new home
warranty. As a recent new-home
buyer, your feedback is essential to
us as we constantly look to improve
the new-home buying experience
in Ontario.
Buying a new home is an exciting
time – but having a good experience
can greatly depend on your builder.
How did you fi nd the whole process,
from signing the deal to fi nally getting
the keys? Did your new home have
everything you agreed to and signed
for? And if not, did your builder
listen to your concerns and fi x the
problems? Your opinion matters
to us – it not only helps determine
if your builder will be recognized
with a customer service award, but
it also helps us make important
improvements to Tarion’s services.
Every year, builders that have
enough responses to their surveys
are provided with individual reports
that compare their results to the
average (without identifying the
participants, of course). We also meet
with builders to help explain and
analyze their scores and o� er advice
on improving customer service. If
necessary, we also deliver customer
service training to low performing
builders. So, if your new home
buying experience did not meet your
expectations, let us know. We always
want to help make the experience
better for everyone.
Your participation also has a direct
impact on your builder’s reputation.
We use the results of this survey to
determine fi nalists and recipients
of the Tarion Awards of Excellence.
These are the only awards in the
province that recognize builders
solely on the basis of their customer
service. As we say, it’s the only builder
award that is earned, not won. If a
builder becomes a fi nalist or recipient
of this award, it will be placed on
their o� cial record on the Ontario
Builder Directory (available at tarion.
com) for everyone to see. For anyone
researching a new-home builder,
this is great way to fi nd out how their
customers feel about them.
So, if you have taken possession
of a new house or condo in the past
year, keep an eye out for the Tarion
survey by email or mail this month.
This is your chance tell us about
your home-buying experience and
infl uence whether your builder should
be recognized for their customer
service. And remember – your
opinion matters, so please take the
time to share it with us!

cover story
Beautiful boutique living on the waterfront
THE FIRST RULE OF REAL ESTATE IS,
and always will be, location, location,
location. Nowhere is this more true
than at Riva del Lago, the midrise
boutique property set at the edge of
the Lake Ontario waterfront, just west
of the Humber River.
While any waterfront living offers
its own obvious appeal, all waterfront
options aren’t necessarily equal. A
visit to the Mattamy/Monarch sales
centre on the Lakeshore will quickly
reveal that Riva del Lago is beautifully
positioned directly across the road
from the Humber Bay Butterfly
Habitat. These extraordinarily lush
grounds are preserved by the city for
the benefit of its resident butterfly,
fowl and waterfowl species. And yet,
it warmly welcomes anyone who
wishes to stroll through its green
and calming pathways. Imagine
what mornings or evenings could
be like for you when a few steps can
transform you from an urban city
dweller to a nature hiker.
And that’s really the point; the paths
that cross your front steps may also
carry you directly into the heart of
the city if you choose to walk, jog, or
cycle to work. The positioning of the
park and paths along the water’s edge
ensure that no other development will
ever obscure your exceptional view of
the city skyline. Yes, the Humber Bay
is courteous enough to curve at such

an angle that positions your view to
precisely profile the impressive towers
and structures of the city.
Access into and out of the city
is also simplified by the strategic
positioning of Riva del Lago. At
the opposite end from the water
runs the TTC Lakeshore streetcar
tracks that will carry you east into
the core, or west to the edge of the
city. For drivers, Lakeshore Blvd. is
also a handy artery into the city, as
is the Gardiner Expressway with its
eastbound on-ramp just meters away.
Being a boutique condo inspires
a more intimate, casual way of
life. Entry and exit to and from the
building is less time-consuming
and cumbersome. And, with fewer
residents in a specific place, it’s
always easier to get to know
your neighbours.
Monarch has recently become
a part of Mattamy Homes. Well-
respected builders in their own
rights, this new partnership assures
a superior standard of quality will be
carried forward in a greater, more
exciting variety of living styles.
Ultimately, the builders’ strategic
approach to community planning
shines through yet again. Known
for thoughtfulness in the design of
their communities, as well as of their
homes, Mattamy & Monarch once
again deliver for their homeowners.
Of course, this condominium
provides all the wonderful
conveniences of contemporary
urban living. But the insight to
position Riva del Lago so smartly
provides incalculable value in
terms of breathtaking views — and
immediate access to the natural
dimensions of a satisfying home
life within a major metropolis.
Condos range in size from
616 sq. ft. up to 1,188 sq. ft. and
are priced from $358,990. The
Mattamy Monarch sales centre
is located at 2167 Lakeshore
Boulevard West, Etobicoke.

“ Imagine what mornings or evenings could be like for you when a few steps can transform you from an urban city dweller to a nature hiker.”

“Almost ready?” queried David, as he side-stepped the trio who were setting up in the gracious living room of their new penthouse. “I’m looking forward to seeing everyone before we leave for Paris tomorrow.” Their son, a young violin protégé, was debuting his solo the following day in France. His adoring wife was busy in the grand kitchen with an army of caterers. The table set for twelve sparkled, and the gas fireplace added a special glow as flames reflected in their well-loved Georgian furniture. “We’re just about ready,” said Sophia, as she poured David a single malt, and they stepped onto their terrace drinking in their spectacular view.

MOVING INTO A CONDOMINIUM
allows suite owners to leave behind the
worries of maintaining a large property
and embrace a more carefree lifestyle.
Nonetheless, a major move can also be
stressful – especially if you are coming
from a large home with countless
possessions. A little pre-planning can
make moving day go smoothly.
Even if you purchase at the very
beginning of sales and your condo
will not be ready for occupancy for
a couple of years, start thinking now
about paring down. Why move items
that will just clutter your space and add
the hassle of trying to sell or give away
after you’ve settled in?
Here are a few tips that can help:
» Take a good look at your fl oorplan
and fi gure out what furniture can go
where. Pay attention to the room

dimensions and be reasonable.
Ask yourself what you already own
that you will want in your new
environment. Flag pieces that will
not be part of your condominium
lifestyle and start the process of
fi nding homes for them.
» When you pare down possessions,
remember that the amenities
in the building are like extensions
of your living space. There’s no
need for that elliptical trainer if you
have an equipped fi tness room an
elevator-ride away.
» Consider hiring an organizer
to help you envision your
new space and decide what is
appropriate to move with you.
These professionals have an eye
for looking at a room and knowing
exactly how to maximize the area.
» If you need to purchase furniture,
take heart – today’s manufacturers
have gone all out to design multi-
purpose items that can help you
make the most of your space.
From Murphy beds to co� ee tables
that swivel up to become dining
surfaces and armoires that can house
entertainment systems or computer
nooks, there are items available in
just about any colour and style you
would want.
» Are you a plant fanatic? Here’s where
your fl oorplan can come in handy
again. Which directions do your
windows and balconies face? What
plants do well in those natural light
conditions? And give some thought
to container gardening on your
balcony or terrace.
» Be sure to ask your developer early
on about the procedure on move-in
day. You may have to book elevators
well in advance. And of course, this
needs to be co-ordinated with your
moving company. Moving day is a lot
more pleasant when there are
no surprises.
» Leave children and pets with
someone else on that day. Having
to keep track of toddlers or dogs will
add unnecessary stress.
When it comes to moving into your
new condo, a little foresight goes a
long way to achieving your beautiful
vision. Even if your occupancy date is
well into the future, start your move
now – mentally. Then enjoy your
fabulous new home!

Advice | STAT CHAT
By Ben Myers
Are you ready to buy?
ARE YOU ON THE FENCE ABOUT
buying your fi rst condominium? Some
people put a lot of stock in the market
data, and according to the Toronto
Real Estate Board, the average resale
condominium apartment sold in
August was about $380,000 in the
GTA, an increase of 7.6 per cent
annually. The ‘416’ area increased
by 9.5 per cent annually, one of the
biggest jumps since the last major
condo surge in 2011. Apparently, that
glut of condo units that was going
to depress the market seemingly had
the opposite e� ect — the improved
neighbourhoods and modern projects
got people more excited about
highrise living. If you hadn’t heard,
nearly 30,000 condo apartments
have completed construction in the
Toronto metro area over the past
12 months, matching how many
Vancouver has completed over the
past four years!
Despite much of the market
evidence that the condominium
market is on solid footing, people like
to get their friends’ and colleagues’
opinion on taking the plunge into
home ownership. First-time buyers
put a lot of stock in the views and
attitudes of their peers. According to
September 2014 data by Bloomberg/
Nanos, 44 per cent of Canadians
surveyed felt real estate prices would
increase, 44 per cent felt they would
stay the same, and 11 per cent felt
they would decrease. In the most
recent Bloomberg/Nanos Canadian
Consumer Confi dence report, 34
per cent felt real estate values would
increase, while 45 per cent felt they
would stay the same, and 17 per
cent expect prices to drop. Does the
declining share of Canadians that
expect housing prices to increase
bother you? Or does the fact that
twice as many Canucks feel prices will
increase versus decrease satisfy your
need for peer approval?
Although I’ve always advocated for
investing in real estate (with a long-
term hold outlook), the likelihood is
that a majority of the people that will
read this article are looking to buy a
condominium to live in. The market
data is positive, and the majority of
surveyed Canadians don’t anticipate
prices going down — so you will
ultimately have to decide what you
can a� ord and if homeownership is
currently right for you.
Get a good realtor, ask your condo-
owning friends a bunch of questions
and if you think you might not be
ready quite yet, consider buying a
new pre-construction condo and
plan your move for a couple years
down the road.

SO YOU’VE DECIDED TO BUY
an investment condo in 2015.
Congratulations! As a fi rst-time
investor, there are fi ve questions you
need to ask yourself before buying a
new condo.
1 | What are your goals?
Figure out what your goals are. Are
you looking to make a short- or long-
term investment? What kind of return
are you looking to achieve? Are you
more interested in income or capital
gain – or both? Deciding what your
goals are up front will better help you
achieve them in the long run.
2 | What can you a� ord?
Talk to your mortgage broker or
lender and get a mortgage pre-
approval before you start your search.
This will help you fi gure out what
you can a� ord, and will help you
start to narrow your search. Also,
make sure you are prepared for the
developer’s requirements with respect
to fi nancing. Most new condos will

Advice | INVESTOR INSIGHTS
Keep your eye on the prize5 things condo investors should look for
require a 15 to 20 per cent deposit up
front, as well as a mortgage approval
letter showing you can a� ord the unit
you are purchasing.
3 | What is your exit strategy?
Will you buy, hold and rent for the long
term before selling? Will you buy pre-
construction and then fl ip (assign) your
unit prior to the fi nal closing? Will you
buy pre-construction, close on the
unit, rent it out for one or two years,
and then sell it? Will you buy, wait for
completion, and then refi nance and
re-invest the proceeds? Take time to
assess the risks and rewards associated
with the di� erent exit strategies.
4 | What should you buy?
Some units make better investments
than others. Questions to consider
include: Which locations are likely
to experience the most growth
in the next few years? What type
of unit is the most attractive to
renters? Which type of unit tends to
appreciate faster than others?
5 | When should you buy?
When buying for investment, it
is generally best to buy when a
new building launches. This is
when prices are the lowest, and
availability of investor-grade suites
is highest. But there are other great
opportunities to buy, including right
before the developer meets the
sales target to secure construction
fi nancing, or during the occupancy
stage. In both of these instances
developers tend to be highly
motivated to sell and this is when
they often introduce great buyer-
incentives or cash discounts.

EAST-ENDER BRITTANY ELDRIDGE
threw a party for 30 of her friends
with music supplied by indie rock
band the Young Empires — and it
didn’t cost her a cent. Eldridge was
the winner of a contest held by East
United to fi nd the best Instagram
photo that refl ected love for living
on the east-side. On Sept. 26, the
team at East United celebrated the
culmination of its East vs. West
campaign and the launch of its new
condo development with a pop-up
concert headlined by Young Empires,
with Eldridge as the honouree.
“It was so much fun to be able to
invite my friends for a private concert
with Young Empires,” says Eldridge.
“The band put on a great show and
the space behind East United ended
up being the perfect venue.”
The one-hour set, which took
place in the lot outside of the East
United sales centre, seemed to fi t
with East United’s overall e� orts to
showcase how great life can be east
of Yonge St., and was a nod to the
building’s amenity spaces, which lists
a jam room for musicians among its
eclectic o� erings.
“For so long the west has been
the default district for arts, culture
and shopping in Toronto, but that’s
starting to change,” says Leslie
Marlowe, president of Berkshire Axis
Development, who introduced the
band on stage. “The east end has its
champions and we wanted to reward
one with a private concert. This is a
celebration of the east side and the
people who live here.”
Mirroring the unique fabric of
the east end, both sides of the
Trending
East end resident parties with Young Empires
development’s façades pay homage to the neighbourhood’s heritage
and contemporary aesthetics. While the fi ve-storey podium on
Parliament exudes a stylized modernism, the preserved heritage
building along Berkeley, a former row of stables, gives the residences
an historical depth.
The interior’s aesthetic pulls inspiration from the intermingling
characters of the building’s vibrant locale. From the St. Lawrence
Market, King East Design District to the historic cobblestone streets
of the distillery, Corktown’s eclectic identity is embedded into East
United’s design.
East United Condos is a 21-storey development consisting of 289
units located at 93 Berkeley St., with prices from the mid $200,000s.
The building o� ers one- two- three- and four-bedroom layouts
ranging from 350 s.f. to 1,400 s.f. Open to registrants as of Sept. 26,
the sales centre is located at 95 Berkeley. To register please visit

Purchaser Profile
Senior pares down from a home to a new condo in the Upper BeachesBy Marlene Eisner
SHARRON ROBARTS HAS BEEN A
homeowner in the Beaches for more
than 35 years. Recently, she decided
to downsize and bought herself a
two-bedroom condo in the Upper
Beaches in Phase 2 of Streetcar
Developments’ Southwood Ravine
Collection. New Condo Guide spoke
with the 68-year-old to ask her how
she went about making the decision.
NCG: When did you decide to start
looking for a condo?
Robarts: I started thinking about it in
February [2015]. I was finding that the
house was getting to be too much
work and I wanted to pare down.
NCG: Where did you start looking?
Robarts: I knew I wanted something
in this area. I didn’t want to live
downtown in a huge highrise. I
wanted something that was still
homey, a smaller building with
hopefully local people who are
buying and investing in the
community. I wanted a balcony
where I could see trees.
NCG: Did you look at many places?
Robarts: I had read some articles
about the developer and this project
in the newspaper and there were
some articles locally. They were very
positive. There were others [projects]
being built, but not on the street that
I wanted.
In some cases, I just didn’t feel they
would be as nicely done and in as
nice a location. There was one that
looked lovely but had amenities that
I won’t use. I do not want to pay for
something I will not use.
NCG: How did you make
your decision?
Robarts: I was here at the Ravine
several times. I looked at phase 1, but
was not ready to make a decision,
even though it was in the back of my
mind that if I would get a condo, this
would be a good place, with a good
developer. The location is a big factor
for me. I bought a two-bedroom, 980-
sq. ft. unit with a balcony that is 140
sq. ft. in Phase 2. There is a drawback;
it will not be ready until 2017.
NCG: What advice would you
give other people looking to buy a
new condo?
Robarts: Look for the location
you want, the size of the building
and unit, the price, but also the
amenities. Decide what you want
and what you’re willing to pay for in
amenities. One place had a dog spa;
I don’t have a dog and didn’t want to
pay for that. I didn’t want a pool or
24-hour security.
NCG: How are you feeling about
the purchase?
Robarts: It’s a big decision, but it’s
exciting. There are times I think ‘what
have I done?’ but that applies for
anything. I’ll miss my garden, but I’ll
do a little on the balcony.

Advice | LEGALLY SPEAKING
By Jayson Schwarz
Talking about ‘capped’ rates
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
TODAY I THOUGHT I WOULD
answer a question posed by one of
our readers that relates to the issue of
mortgages, and how long a “capped”
rate remains in place. Let me begin by
explaining about “capped “ rates.
As a new-home purchaser, it is critical
that you receive a bank pre-approval
of your mortgage in the form of a
written commitment for the money
you will need to buy the property.
The mortgage commitment should
provide, among other things, details
regarding the amount of money, the
length of the loan, the interest rate,
and any special terms. It should also
provide for a very important item –
how long the lender will guarantee
the rate that has been committed
to you.
Let me explain. Let us assume that
on Jan. 1, 2015 you bought a property
with a closing date of Dec. 31, 2016
and your rate commitment or “cap,”
as shown on your commitment, is
for a period of 14 months at 2.25 per
cent. What this means is that as long
as the deal closes on or before the
date that is 14 months from the date
of the commitment, the bank will
honour the rate they have agreed to.
Sometimes deals get delayed past
the time that the “cap” guarantees.
What happens? Simply put, the lender
is no longer legally bound to honour
the rate that was originally o� ered.
In our example, if the rates increased
to 3.5 per cent and the closing was
delayed until June 30, 2016, the
lender would have the option of
telling you that the new rate was
now 3.5 per cent.
There are more issues relating
to this scenario, as you will have to
decide if you still want the mortgage,
and the lender will have to decide if it
would still be prepared to give it
to you. That is correct! Remember,
if rates rise, the money needed to
carry the same amount of mortgage
also rises, so if you were tight on
your fi nancing before the rate
increase, you may no longer qualify
for the mortgage.
The moral of the story is to ensure
that you negotiate a “cap” for as long
a period as possible. Quite often, the
mortgages o� ered by the builders
on-site have built-in extension
protection. Ask for it as part of
your purchase agreement from the
builder or commitment letter from
the lender.

Homes are pleased to announce
that construction on the ZIGG
Condo will start this fall. Unique in
design and contemporary in style,
the ZIGG Condo at 223 St. Clair
Ave. West will bring a fresh vibe to
the traditional aesthetic of the Casa
Loma neighbourhood in Forest Hill.
Kirkor Architects envisioned a design
inspired by an ancient stepped-
terrace pyramid form called ‘ziggurat’,
thus the moniker “ZIGG”. The façade
along St. Clair Ave. will make an
unforgettable impression with its
juxtaposition of light and dark tones,
clean lines and forward design.
With only 11 storeys, featuring 166 suites
including two-storey townhomes, the ZIGG
will have a timeless but refined urban style.
Kitchens will feature integrated appliances, sleek
cabinetry and natural stone countertops. With
efficient layouts, floor-to-ceiling windows and
a private balcony or terrace overlooking the city
in all directions, ZIGG’s suites offer elegance,
quality and sophisticated city living.
From ZIGG’s rooftop terrace, take in the view
of the surrounding Forest Hill under its canopy
of maples and oaks down to the twinkling lights
of the city skyline. Relax and lounge by the
outdoor fireplace and barbeque with friends and
dine alfresco. On the ground floor, enjoy the
convenient amenities of the beautifully appointed
private dining room, kitchen and lounge adjacent

OCTOBER BEGAN WITH A BANG ON
the mortgage front last week, as
Meridian, Ontario’s largest credit
union, announced that it is offering
a five-year closed variable rate
mortgage at 1.85 per cent APR.
“Meridian wants to ensure we are
offering our members a full suite of
mortgage products at competitive
rates,” says Bill Whyte, chief member
services officer for Meridian. “This
variable mortgage rate is currently
one of the lowest offers on the
market today.”
Meridian’s mortgage specialists
work closely with members to
keep them well-informed of all the
financial aspects of home ownership,
ensuring their mortgage payments
fit into their overall budget and
financial plan.
However, prospective borrowers
should read the fine print. As like
most discounted mortgage products,
there are conditions, spokesperson
Diane Medeiros told New Condo
Guide. Some are standard to all
mortgage approvals.
» Cannot apply to “blend and extend”
mortgages
» For high-ratio borrowers, you
must qualify at the Bank of Canada
qualifying rate
Trending
A 1.85 per cent mortgage – but read the fine print
» Must be the principal residence (in personal name)
» Applicant must be income-qualifying
» Limited time offer
Are these mortgage products too good to be true?
“Not at all,” Alyssa Richard, founder and CEO of ratehub.
ca told New Condo Guide. “As of Oct. 2, we have four
Toronto mortgage brokers on ratehub.ca offering five-year
closed variable rates of 1.84 per cent, which is lower than
Meridian’s offer.”
Besides reading the fine print, what should homeowners
and buyers look out for when it comes to such discount
mortgages?
“Variable rate mortgages are directly tied to prime
rate, which is currently 2.70 per cent,” Richard says.
“What Meridian is advertising is actually prime minus 0.85.
If prime rate goes up or down, Meridian’s rate will
change in lockstep. Right now, prime is at its lowest
point since 2010.
“Another thing to consider with variable rate mortgages
is you have to qualify at a much higher rate to prove you
can continue to afford your payments if rates go up.
Currently, even though you can get a rate of 1.84 per cent,
you have to qualify for the mortgage as if the rate were
4.64 per cent. On a $500,000 mortgage, you need to
show you can afford a monthly payment of about
$725 more than you’ll actually pay.”
Meridian says it has more than 250,000 members,
including more than 21,000 business members. The
company has $11 billion in assets under management and
delivers a full range of financial services online, by phone,
by mobile and through a network of 71 branches and
seven business centres.

TWO COLOURFUL MURALS AT THE ROYAL YORK RD.
north of Dundas Street West underpass that depict the
history of Humber Valley Village were unveiled Sept. 19 by
StreetARToronto (StART), a program of the Transportation
Services’ Public Realm Section that supports and promotes
street art. The murals were created by Etobicoke resident
and artist, Emilia Jajus. New Condo Guide caught up with
Jajus to fi nd out about the project and the inspiration
behind her work.
NCG: How did you come to being the artist involved in
doing these murals?
Jajus: StreetARToronto has a roster of artists who qualify
for projects of this scale. I was short-listed with two other
artists and competed. Our designs were displayed at
Humbertown Plaza for the public to provide feedback.
Afterwards, the jury made the fi nal decision.
NCG: Do you live in Etobicoke?
Jajus: Yes, I have lived in Etobicoke for over 17 years.
Most of my family and friends live here. Etobicoke is my
home. When I was fi rst married, [my husband] Arek and
I lived within walking distance from the Royal York and
Dundas underpass.
NCG: How did you decide on the themes
of your murals?
Jajus: I conducted extensive research of the area
surrounding the mural site. Living in the community
helped me a lot. I researched online and visited local
landmarks. I learned that the local community appreciated
the historic background of the area. Robert Home Smith
was a fi nancier and visionary who wanted to create “A
Bit of England Far from England”. He was behind the
restoration of the Old Mill, and the bridge next to it, as
well as the style of houses in The Kingsway and Humber
Valley Village. The west wall portrays a collage of Dundas
St. W, Bloor St. and Royal York with important landmarks
such as The Kingsway Theatre, Montgomery’s Inn, James
Gardens park and even Humbertown Plaza … The diversity
in the mural was very well received by the community.
One older lady said she originally came from a small town
in B.C. but she moved to Toronto because she wanted
to see diversity and she was happy to see it refl ected in
the mural.

NCG: How long did it take you to complete
the murals?
Jajus: The work started on June 1 and was completed
before Labour Day weekend. I had three assistants;
Emanuel Ciobanica, De Anne Lamirande and Sara Sader.
NCG: What do you hope the public will
take away when they see your artwork?
Jajus: My objective for this project was “for the
community to see themselves in the mural”. I had many
great experiences with the public while painting the
mural. This is my favourite one: On the east wall, there
is a fi sherman by the Old Mill bridge. Two days after
sketching him, I received an email from a total stranger
who asked me to send him a photo reference. I asked him
what was his concern. He responded that last year he was
fi shing by that bridge and he remembered that someone
took pictures of him. He believed it must have been me
and that I used a photo of him, since the image in the
mural looked just like him. I said I was sorry to disappoint
him, but the model was actually my husband... But I
thanked him for providing evidence that my objective had
been reached!

THERE’S AN OLD RULE IN BUSINESS: WHAT IS NOT IN WRITING
was never said.
Although some agreements may need just a handshake, others
that involve a multitude of variables require a contract so that all the
parties understand what is expected of them. This is particularly true
when you hire professional movers. You’re obviously the “who,” but
we also need to know exactly “what,” “where” and “when” in order
to transport your items to your new place. Within those general
categories, there can be many details, and fi nding out about them on
moving day is counterproductive. Think ahead.
The fi rst thing to do is fi nd a reputable mover. You can check
online with the Better Business Bureau or the Canadian Association
of Movers, and of course, fi nd out who friends and family members
have used. Select a company that has a tried-and-true track record.
Then ask questions, and remember that the movers should be asking
you a lot of questions as well to determine exactly what the move
will entail.
When we meet customers to arrange their move, we need to
know about everything they expect to take so we can prepare as
accurate an estimate as possible.
In many ways, estimating is a science. Computers help, but the
results are only as good as the information we input. Telling us on
moving day that you forgot you want to take the shed in the backyard
can hold things up for hours. It will also add to your costs.
And speaking of costs, we need to know well ahead of time if you
want us to provide the service of packing. Deciding this two days
before the move likely won’t work. In addition, if we have quoted
only on moving and not on packing, a new contract will have to be
drawn up with a higher price. If you do the packing yourself, read the
contract as to whether or how much your items are covered, should
damages occur.
We also have to know whether you have anything other than Point
A to Point B in mind for moving day. If you forgot to tell us that your
dining room set has to be dropped o� somewhere else fi rst, it’s like
the meter running in a taxicab. You will pay more for unexpected
side trips. Plus, unless we know in advance, we may pack the dining
set in an awkward place for unloading partway to your destination.
Again, this will cost you time and money—two things that are
precious commodities on moving day.
It is our responsibility as professional movers to ask the right
questions, but until we develop ESP, we need to rely on you to
Read & Understandyour contract for a successful move
MORE ADVICE ONLINEypnexthome.ca/news/advice
explain what you need from us. A contract
protects you as much as the movers, but only if
you read it, understand it and abide by it.
At Two Men and a Truck Canada, we follow
The Grandma Rule: we treat everyone the
way we would want our grandmothers to be
treated….with dignity, courtesy, respect, honesty
and trust. We all want everything to go smoothly
on moving day — and when we communicate
and work together, it does!

Empire Communities named 2015 Ontario home builder of the year
EMPIRE COMMUNITIES HAS BEEN
awarded the 2015 Ontario Home
Builder of the Year award by the
Ontario Home Builders’ Association
(OHBA) at the 2015 Awards of
Distinction. In addition to the top
honours, the GTA-based builder and
developer’s Eau Du Soleil waterfront
community was awarded Best
Website (builder or renovator) and
Best High or Mid-Rise Project Sales
Brochure (four-plus stories).
“We’re honoured to have been
named the Ontario Home Builder of
the Year by the OHBA,” says Daniel
Guizzetti, co-founder, CEO and
president at Empire Communities.
“This speaks to our commitment of
building inspiring new homes and
neighbourhoods of enduring value.
We have built our reputation on our
core values of caring, optimism and
trust, which can also be seen with
our corporate responsibility initiatives
and exceptional customer-service
experience.”
As one of the top builders of
master-planned communities in the
province, Empire has built more than
10,000 single-family and highrise
homes across Southwestern Ontario
and the GTA over the past 20 years.
The company has received nearly 100
domestic and international awards for
design, marketing and sales excellence.
Empire is also the largest ENERGY
STAR homebuilder in Southwestern
Ontario and one of the only to
offer ENERGY STAR certification as
a standard for all its single family
homes. This commitment to building
energy efficient homes has resulted
in Empire being awarded the Green
Builder of the Year Award from both
the HHHBA and BILD.
Empire employees are active
volunteers throughout the province
and have participated in several
fundraising initiatives, including
Habitat for Humanity; $250,000
sponsorship to Brantford’s Wayne
Gretzky Sports Centre; $33,000
to David Hornell Jr. School for an
outdoor classroom and $40,000
to the Brantford Home Builders’
Association (BHBA) Annual Luncheon.
Empire’s successful Eau Du Soleil
community – also recognized at the
2015 Awards of Distinction – is one
of Toronto’s most iconic waterfront
condominiums. Construction has
already begun on Eau Du Soleil
and has solidified Empire’s strong
commitment to the Humber Bay
Shores community. As one of
Canada’s tallest waterfront condos,
Eau Du Soleil will be comprised
of two luxury towers rising
approximately 700 feet into the sky
connected by a series of cascading
terraces that lead to an extraordinary
40,000 sq. ft. of exquisite amenities.

Advice | CONDO ADVICE
Insurance basicsWhat you need to know
HOW MUCH ATTENTION DO YOU
really pay to the insurance policy
that will protect your property
and contents?
“Most home owners put more
time and effort into researching the
big-screen TV than the policy that
protects what is likely their most
valuable asset and every single
thing in it, from their furniture and
electronics to their dishes and
clothing,” says Pete Karageorgos,
director, Consumer & Industry
Relations, Ontario, Insurance Bureau
of Canada, the national industry
association whose private home, auto
and business insurers represent 90
per cent of Canada’s property and
casualty insurance market.
Before you start looking at
insurance providers, you need to
decide whether you’ll use a broker
(works with multiple insurers), an
agent (represents a single insurer), or
a direct writer (supports one insurer
online or by phone).
“It’s about how you like to shop,”
says Karageorgos. “Do you want to
comparison shop multiple insurers or
have your broker do the work for you?
Will you value the relationship you’ll
develop with a broker? Will having a
history with the broker or agent save
you time?”
Ask family, friends and neighbours if
they’re happy with their insurers, and
research consumer reports, but always
take responsibility and do your own
due diligence.
Most consumers are price-oriented,
but as with most products and services,
you get what you pay for, so once
you’ve got the quotes, be absolutely
sure you’re comparing apples to
apples. To fully understand why one
policy costs $85 or $523.18 less than
another one, you will need to pay
attention to all of the details and fine
print pertaining to coverage, limits,
exclusions and more.
“Ultimately, the homeowner has to
assess the cost against the possible risk,”
says Karageorgos. “It’s highly personal
and everybody is different. Mercedes,
GM, etc… they all make vehicles that
will get you from point A to point B –
consumers decide what meets their
unique needs, preferences and budgets
– insurance is much the same.”
A few key points to consider:
1. Guaranteed replacement cost (what
it would cost to rebuild your home,
taking into account current material
and labour costs, or to replace contents
at today’s prices) or actual cash value
(what you originally paid less the
year-to-year depreciation because
everything from a sofa to flooring
and shingles will decrease in value
over time). Of course, guaranteed
replacement cost is infinitely preferable,
but it costs more.

2. Named perils (which lists the perils
covered, typically fi re, weather, theft)
or an all-risk policy (which lists only
the perils not covered such as war or
nuclear hazards). All-risk is best but
again, the cost is higher.
3. How much is enough? Most
insurers use a formula or industry
calculator, generally tied to square
footage, to determine the cost
to replace a structure, detached
structures (e.g. garage, shed)
and contents. If your home has a
particularly unique envelope (roof,
exterior cladding), an unusual number
of 4K fl at screen TVs or high-end
leather, goose-down stuff ed sofas,
original artwork or jewellery, discuss
it with your representative and be
prepared to pay a higher premium
for more coverage. Be sure the
coverage on the detached structure is
appropriate. Even if your furniture and
contents are low-end to mid-range,
you might be surprised at just how
much it would cost to replace every
single item you own if you crunch the
numbers: sofas, chairs, end tables,
dining tables, mattresses, beds,
duvets, sheets, towels, small and large
appliances, dishes, pots, pans, cutlery
and much more. “Some policies will
cover contents, including jewellery or
art to a certain amount, but beyond
that you may need to involve a
professional appraiser, who will value
and may even photograph the items,”
says Karageorgos. “If you make a
claim, you need to prove ownership
and value.” Insuring for less than the
guaranteed replacement cost may
save you money over the years,
but is it worth the risk of fi nancial ruin
if your home and everything in it
is destroyed?
4. Deductible — $500? $1,000?
More? “A thousand dollars might
not seem like a lot on a $30,000
repair, but for some families, that
might be a lot all at once, so it might
be worth the extra you’d pay annually
to drop the deductible to $500,”
says Karageorgos.
5. Policy exit strategies. If your
circumstances change, for example,
you decide to rent your primary

residence for four months while
travelling or on a work contract,
you can generally change insurance
providers at any time. “If you pay the
full amount rather than installments,
you won’t get 100 per cent of it
back due to administrative charges,
but the bulk of it, which is known as
the short rate, will be reimbursed,”
says Karageorgos.
6. Reassess your policy and provider
annually. If the price to renew has
increased, fi nd out why. Replacement
costs likely rise year over year
as labour and material are more
expensive. If you’ve made changes to
your home or contents, inform your
provider to ensure your coverage
remains adequate.

“We’ve always incorporated

want to take pride in their personal

Assembled by Grace Zeppilli at GZ

with interior designer Alessandro
Munge, the collection includes 19
hand-selected and thoughtfully
arranged sculptures, large-format
photographs, prints, paintings and
mixed-media workings.
To set the tone for the entire
collection, Zeppilli selected a vibrant

two ornate wooden sculptures by

Advice | FUNDAMENTALLY SPEAKING
IMAGINE A HOUSE OF CARDS – OR A
game of Jenga – where one wrong
move could cause everything to
come crashing down. This is the fear
some have when it comes to foreign
investors in Canadian real estate.
The concern is that foreign buyers–
those who live elsewhere but buy
properties in Canada and rent them
out – are driving up home prices,
particularly in hot markets such as
Vancouver and Toronto. This o� shore
demand is leading to an artifi cial,
unsustainable market, some believe,
which could cause a crash if for any
reason these owners pulled out or
sold their homes en masse.
“People are concerned that foreign
buyers are coming in and buying too
many properties and driving the prices
up,” Ben Myers, senior vice-president,
market research and analytics at
Fortress Real Developments, told
New Condo Guide. “That is the
big concern.”
Canada Mortgage and Housing
Corp. is taking steps to address this
“data gap,” by scheduling meetings
with industry stakeholders and
other measures.
Some of these foreign buyers are
paying cash – given that Canadian
properties are a relative bargain
compared to prices back home
for Chinese buyers, for example.
This means they’re not borrowing
from Canadian banks or requiring
insurance from CMHC, further
contributing to the dearth of data.
Without such transparency, it could
fall on real estate agents and lawyers
to report such transactions.
The problem with this scenario,
points out Don R. Campbell, well
known real estate investor and
author, is that “data without action
or policy is just knowledge.” There is
nothing currently in place preventing
foreigners from purchasing Canadian
real estate.
“I’m a stats guy,” adds Myers.
“I’d love to see the information,
but I think we have a pretty good
idea that residential real estate
sales activity to non-domestic
buyers is pretty isolated to Toronto
and Vancouver. Should Canadian
taxpayers in every other metro
area be on the hook for the cost
of collecting this info?
“If we fi nd out foreign buyers own
1.2 per cent of Canadian residential
dwellings – 3.5 per cent in Toronto
units and 6.1 per cent in Vancouver –
then what? How much will it cost to
take the next steps?
“Even if you had the proper data
and the world’s best econometricians,
you could never know what a home
would have sold for if a foreign
purchaser didn’t buy it,” says Myers.
Campbell says any such data would
be “incredibly inaccurate, given the
many ways in which the ultimate
purchaser can hide who is buying.”
He also points out that The
Personal Information Protection and
Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA)
could limit any disclosure. PIPEDA
sets out ground rules for how private
sector organizations may collect, use
or disclose personal information in
the course of commercial activities.

King Blue by Greenland begins construction
INTERNATIONAL SHANGHAI-

Greenland Group (Canada) has
begun construction on its King West
development, King Blue by Greenland.
This exciting, mixed-use development
embodies the vibrancy and energy

The completed project will include
amenities that reflect the vibrant and
sophisticated lifestyle for which King
Street West is known. Modern units

Westinghouse building is currently
being prepped to ensure it is secure
and safe during construction.
Greenland Group (Canada) president,
Henry Cao says: “Canada has proven to
be a strong real estate market for many
years now and we envision a future
here that allows us to contribute to this
economic prosperity. Not only are we
pleased to launch real estate projects in
Canada, but also to create jobs such as
the opening of a new downtown hotel.
Canada has been very welcoming and
we are pleased to bring our expertise to
this market.”
Primus Toronto will be fully
owned and operated by Greenland
Group (Canada) and will employ
approximately 120 permanent staff.
The Theatre Museum Canada will
aim to become a new centrepiece for
Toronto’s Theatre District, attracting
theatre and culture enthusiasts. Its
mission is to share and preserve
Canada’s rich theatre legacy.
Sales of King Blue by Greenland have

sold. The project will bring 910 new
residential units ranging from $299,000
to $1 million to the downtown address.
The sales office is located at 175
Bloor street East, Suite 300, north
tower. Hours are Monday to Friday

MIRRORS IN INTERIOR DESIGN are an important, functional
item that virtually all of us have, and yet we sometimes
manage to overlook the many ways (outside the morning
get-ready routine) they can beautify and visually enlarge
our spaces, often in ways you might not expect. Forget the
flimsy closet doors you may have had in the past, and keep
your mind—and your space—open to mirror finishes with
these eight-plus ideas.
Mirror WallTo do a full wall of mirror the modern way—and avoid any
1970s flashbacks—use oversized mirror tiles (24”x24”) with
a bevelled edge, making the wall itself decorative while
doubling the apparent size of the space. To take the look
up another notch, choose a smokey grey glass to add an
air of moody sophistication.
Use it: to open a tight foyer or hall,
behind the bed (as a striking layer to
a headboard), or to back the TV.
Mirrored NicheRather than a full wall, applying
mirror to a niche (or a partial wall
between awkward bulkheads) can still
have a powerful deepening effect.
Hang art or display an interesting
objet in the space to make it a feature,
while giving the eye the sense that a
whole other room exists on the
other side.
Use it: on an awkwardly broken-up
wall to create a feature.

Inset MirrorWhen retiling a bathroom, double the
eff ect and save money simultaneously
by replacing a large, fl oor-to-ceiling
(or vanity-to-ceiling) area of tile with
inset mirror (rather than applying a
framed mirror over the tile itself). The
look is still perfectly polished without
the bulky frame, and the cost of the
mirror is off set by the material savings
on tile. Just adding a mirror? Go wall-
to-wall for the biggest impact—the
small splurge is worth it.

Check out Yanic’s accessory line, Yanic Simard Selected, by visiting online at ysselected.com
Use it: on any bathroom, big or small,
to get a huge look.
Layered MirrorLove the style of a traditional frame
for your vanity mirror? Try layering a
small ornate mirror (or empty frame)
over the glass surface. A professional
can drill a hole in the existing mirror,
or you can suspend a small frame
from the ceiling on invisible wires
or a decorative chain for an art
gallery appeal.
Use it: over each sink to defi ne
individual stations and add
personality.
Mirrored BacksplashMirrored backsplashes are back in a
big way, and are especially eff ective
in condo kitchens, giving you a sense
of a larger space as you work at a
compact counter. A quality glass will
be easy to wipe clean as well, for a
look that’s both durable and practical.
Use it: as the main backsplash over
the counter, or as a backing to the
major appliances (like the fridge or
oven) as I did in my own kitchen!
Mirrored FurnitureSometimes fi tting in all the essential
furniture (especially storage) can
Other DIY Ideas:
» Use three or four inexpensive full-length mirrors and hang them horizontally over a desk or foyer console for a big look at a fraction of the price of an oversized fl oor mirror.
» Use an elegant mirror as a stylish version of a dry-erase board in your o� ce area or kitchen, making it feel more like home and less like work.
» Anchor a seating area with a decorative mirror over the sofa instead of artwork, and get a sense of depth and a focal point at the same time.
leave a room feeling a little boxed in.
Furniture in a mirror fi nish appears
visually lighter to the point of virtually
disappearing. Try a mirror-faced
nightstand or buff et, or a wardrobe
in a polished metal fi nish for a similar
eff ect in a more industrial look.
Use it: in the bedroom to add drama
without adding a loud colour to keep
you awake at night.
Antiqued MirrorTo add an extra sense of history and
stately sophistication to a sleek new
condo, introduce some antiqued
mirror glass using one of the tips
below. For the DIY expert, a faux
aging eff ect can be applied to mirror
or tiles using glass paints, vinegar, a
splatter brush or sprayer, and a little
eff ort, creating just the right hint
of character and a truly unique
home detail.
Use it: in a powder room or foyer
to add textural richness and a subtle
story.

RANDOMLY TUCKING things away in spots that are
convenient at the moment just won’t do. If things don’t
have designated homes, they never get put away properly,
making them all but impossible to fi nd the next time
they’re needed. Find the right spot for everything that
comes into your home, share the organizational tactics
with your family and stop being a human directory for
everyone and everything in your home.
Organizing your home
Designate a basket or drawer as your household’s “lost
and found” area. Deposit any stray items like bobby pins,
sunglasses, earrings, etc. It’ll soon become the fi rst place
family members look for missing objects.
What did i do with that manual?
Have you added new appliances and electronics to your
home recently? Staple the receipt and warranty to the
instruction manual and tape it to the bottom of the item
so it’s easy to fi nd if you need to refer to it. For portable
items like cell phones and MP3 players, store the manuals
in an accordion fi le by category.
Where’s the remote?
Use Velcro to attach the remote to the side of the
television set when not in use and never waste time
searching for it again. Or, consider purchasing an
electronic remote fi nder that makes a loud, distinctive
sound to help you fi nd it (this also works for keys).
Where are my keys?
Choose a “home” for your keys and get into the habit
of always keeping them in that spot. Hang them on a
designated hook or toss them in a bowl. Leave a copy of
your keys with a trusted neighbour.
Everything needs a home
Whenever you bring a new item into your home,
immediately fi nd a permanent place for it to live. To help
you determine the best spot for it, ask yourself what else
is like it, and where (and how often) will you use it. Store
similar things together, and store items near their place

of use. Items used daily should be placed in the most
accessible areas (within arm’s reach), whereas seldom-
used items can be stored in out-of-the-way spaces.
Keep a label maker handy to label drawers, shelves and
containers so you don’t have to rely on your memory
when you need to fi nd something quickly.
Organizing your life
Time spent relaxing is not time wasted. Give yourself
permission to enjoy several agenda-free days. Leave your
e-mail and cell phone behind and delight in some of life’s
simple pleasures without interruption. This is especially
crucial if you are self-employed and your boss is a tyrant!

B.streets Condo wins at Toronto Urban Design Awards
LINDVEST‘S RECENTLY COMPLETED
B.streets Condo project has
won another prestigious award
for architecture.
B.streets Condo was recently
recognized at the Toronto Urban
Design Awards (TUDA) in the category
of Private Buildings in Context –
Midrise. Lindvest commissioned Hariri
Pontarini Architects and Cecconi
Simone Interior Design to envision
a building that complemented the
neighbourhood while remaining
architecturally inventive and design
savvy. The Award of Merit at the
Toronto Urban Design Awards
ceremony presented by Jennifer
Keesmaat, chief planner and
executive director at the City of
Toronto, highlights just how well this
goal was realized.
“We are proud that this
distinguished jury, on behalf of
the City of Toronto, awarded our
team effort to design and deliver
this well-loved building that
pushes the envelope of design and
engineering,” says Michoel Klugmann,
vice-president at Lindvest. “We
asked David Pontarini to fashion a
building that had personality and
embraced its surroundings, yet kept a
contemporary look. It’s gratifying
to have been recognized by the
OHBA, BILD and now by TUDA for
how well it shows as a prototype of
great design.”
The TUDA jury praised B.streets
Condo for its charm. “This project
applies the city’s mid-rise guidelines in
a sculptural manner, breaking up the
building’s mass with a series of cut-
outs and with a division in materials
between the dark lower half and the
white upper half,” the TUDA jury said.
“The series of townhouses facing a
rear laneway, too, sets an example for
how to add activity to such spaces.
The jury appreciates the quality and
imagination of the architecture.”
This award joins other B.streets
Condo acknowledgements including:
Project of the Year (highrise) from
BILD 2012; Project of the Year (high-
or midrise) from OHBA 2012; and a
Silver Award for Community of the
Year (Urban) at the NAHB Nationals.

Say hello to Roncesvalles’ trendiest new address: 35 Wabash
ALONG A QUAINT TREE-LINED
residential street, adjacent to a lush
community park in the heart of
one of Toronto’s most sought-after
neighbourhoods, comes a brand
new boutique community by Zinc
Developments that offers unparalleled
small-town living in the big city.
Located in the hip west-end
Roncesvalles Village, the aptly named
35 Wabash is an exclusive four-storey
residence that offers buyers exceptional
location, stunning architecture and
innovative suite designs.
“We saw a rare opportunity to
create a unique residence that
not only enhanced the modern
townhome living experience, but
seamlessly fit into this vibrant area
that offers residents everything
they need – from top-rated public
schools, charming restaurants
and cafes to many beloved parks,”
says Ken Zuckerman, president of
Zinc Developments.
Inspired by the industrial charm of
the area’s history, combined with a
contemporary sensibility, 35 Wabash
will feature 57 two-storey towns and
flats complete with backyard retreats
and rooftop terraces designed by the
award-winning team at RAW Design.
The building boasts signature
architecture that distinguishes
itself from other towns by
offering no below-grade units,
convenient elevator service, modern
condominium amenities and one-of-
a-kind outdoor living spaces. Ground
floor towns will include private
backyard retreats, while sky towns
will include rooftop terraces, both
designed to seamlessly integrate the
outdoors into every suite.
On offer are suites in a variety
of one- two- and three-bedroom
layouts, many with the option of
a den. Purposefully designed to
enhance open-concept living,
corridors and barriers were removed,
while window heights were
increased and glass was incorporated
throughout to allow the maximum
amount of natural light to filter
through the space.
Ranging in size from 650 to a
spacious 1,500 sq. ft., suites at 35
Wabash will be meticulously outfitted
by Toronto’s DesignAgency to
complement the effortlessly cool vibe
of the surrounding neighbourhood.
Incorporating rustic elements like black
framed windows and concrete finished
flooring gives the space a cool historic
edge, while sleek accents of wood and
chrome add an air of modernism.
Kitchens will feature custom-
designed cabinetry, quartz
countertops and islands, designer
glass tile backsplash, an integrated
panel ready fridge and dishwasher,
and exposed shelving that contributes
to the open-concept living space.
Bathrooms will include frameless
glass showers with porcelain tiles,
a sleek vanity with custom mirror
and cabinets along with a ceramic
countertop and integrated sink
finished off by polished chrome
fixtures throughout.
“While we put a lot of thought
into the suite aesthetics. We also
wanted to address a buyer’s need for
functionality in the space as well,”
adds Zuckerman. “Each and every
suite at 35 Wabash has been designed
to maximize the space by introducing
flexible, functional elements.”
From vanity storage, medicine
cabinets and shower niches, to
optional upgrades such as a built-in
desk under the staircase and a built-in
kitchen pantry, every inch of space
can be accounted for and utilized.
Amenities at 35 Wabash will also
include a yoga studio that will open
onto an outdoor Zen garden –
the perfect place to relax after an
afternoon exploring the action on
Roncesvalles Avenue or in nearby
High Park or Sorauren Park.
Affordably priced from the $600s
to over $1 million, 35 Wabash is the
perfect place to call home for families
and young professionals looking
to plant their roots in this exciting,
historic neighbourhood.

Roncesvalles’ next great address,

THE TORONTO BEACHES IS AN UBER
popular east end neighbourhood
(o� cially known as The Beach but
long-time residents refer to it as The
Beaches). The area is celebrated for
its swimmable sandy beaches, quaint
specialty shops, great restaurants and
chillaxed atmosphere.
Lifestyle
If you’ve always wanted to live by a
beach in a community surrounded
by modern amenities, look no further
than this east end ‘hood – it could be
your dream neighbourhood scenario.
The Toronto Beaches has a lot to o� er
every demographic, from families and
couples to young urbanites and
empty-nesters. With the beach, cool
shops, great restaurants, cafes and
practical services, this community has
it going on.
Vibe
Think beach town meets city
living. People are drawn to this
neighbourhood because of its laid-
back vibe, family-friendly atmosphere
and walkable amenities. You can ditch
your car for a surfboard and walk to
everything you need!
Meet the Neighbours
Residents are very protective of this
community’s small-town feel, and
many know each other and get
involved. On any given weekend,
you can fi nd the community getting
together for a charity event or street
party of some kind.
In the Area
It’s a coveted area to live, which
ultimately drives up house prices. The
average detached home is more than
$874,922. But, being such a desirable
area, buying real estate here is a very
smart investment.
Planes, Trains & Automobiles
This neighbourhood has everything you
need within walking distance. Streetcars
are a favoured mode of transit, with
the Queen Street 501 providing easy
downtown access. The area is also
well-connected via six bus routes.
The Good, the Bad & the Rest
The main hub along Queen Street East
is always hopping, as a haven for great
shops, restaurants and cafes. The social
centre of Toronto Beaches is Kew
Gardens, which hosts the annual Jazz
Festival and has an amazing kids’ play
park. Several kilometres of boardwalk
allow you to walk the sandy beaches.
Real Estate
The community comes alive in the
summer, and you’ll feel like you’re
holidaying in your own neighbourhood.
But since this area is so popular in
the warmer months, you will have to
contend with throngs of tourists along
the streets and vying for your favourite
patio spot along Queen.

DUNDAS SQUARE GARDENS marked
its status as the fastest-selling
condominium project in Toronto with
a groundbreaking event at its future
location at the corner of Jarvis St. and
Dundas St. E.
Steve Gupta, chairman and
CEO of Easton’s Group and COO
Reetu Gupta, developers of the
condominium project, hosted
dignitaries and leaders of Toronto’s
real estate industry at the event to
launch the two-tower development.
In a testament to its new
neighbours and this new emerging
downtown neighbourhood, Easton’s
Group is donating $1,000 to Ryerson
University for each unit sold at
Dundas Square Gardens, and has
committed to personally top up that
generous donation to $1 million.
The success of Dundas
Square Gardens is based on
its location at the northeast corner
of Dundas and Jarvis, and on its
design, unique to any central city
condominium. Perhaps the most
stunning architectural feature of
the development is the more than
16,000 sq. ft. — a third of an acre
— of five impressive, expansive and
landscaped rooftop gardens and
terraces, all located on different levels
of the project.
The project itself consists of a
47-storey tower on the western
edge of the site, complemented by
a boutique-styled 17-storey tower,
each with its own separate entrances,
but interconnected within the site
through public spaces and generous
amenities. Those amenities include
water features, BBQ areas, lounge
and entertainment areas, outdoor
secluded seating sanctuaries and
paths to walk pets.

Dundas Square Gardens celebrates with groundbreaking
Celebrating the official groundbreaking of Dundas Square Gardens are The Honourable Dipika Damerla, MPP, Mississauga East – Cooksville, and Associate Minister of Health and Long-Term Care; The Gupta Group/Easton’s Group chairman and CEO Steve Gupta and COO Reetu Gupta; Michael Thompson, chair of Toronto’s Economic Development and Cultural Committee, chair of Invest Toronto, a board member of Build Toronto and city councillor representing Ward 37, Scarborough Centre, and Baker Real Estate Incorporated CEO and president, Barbara Lawlor.

Dundas Square Gardens will be located on the site of a current

in December of this year, with full construction of the project to

Times Group introduces
Uptown Markham condominium community
RISING MAJESTICALLY ABOVE THE
Rouge River Valley, Uptown Markham
is one of Markham’s most prestigious
master-planned condominium
communities. Times Group Corp.
is proud to introduce the newest
phase to the successful Uptown
Markham community — Riverside. A
pair of elegant eight- and 28-storey
residences, Riverside offers residents
a carefree condominium lifestyle
featuring the ultimate in modern luxury.
With its sleek and contemporary
exterior of brick and stone finish, large
luminous windows and beautiful roof
gardens, Riverside will be situated
alongside the community’s expansive
park; the new residence will also act as
a “bridge” connecting the Rouge River
to Highway 7 – a beautifully landscaped
venue for local festivals and municipal
events, outdoor markets, exhibits and
public art.
Ten per cent of the suites at Riverside
are designed with accessibility features
such as barrier-free washrooms to
accommodate people with disabilities
who may be using a wheelchair,
electric scooter or walker.
Offering a vast array of social and
recreational amenities, Riverside is the
first building on Highway 7 to feature
an outdoor swimming pool perched
on the rooftop of the building’s 10th
floor. The expansive pool will feature
a spacious sun deck and landscaped
terrace with BBQs, an indoor
Lounge with a bar and TV screens
and guest suites. Inside, residents
will find a well-equipped fitness
centre, ping pong, billiards and card
rooms, a library/Wi-Fi lounge, and
a spectacular party room complete
with dining area and bar, servery, and
access to a quiet outdoor patio facing
the Rouge River.
Following the principles of
sustainability, environmental
preservation and smart growth, Uptown
Markham is built to the highest energy-
efficient LEED Gold standards. Nearly
50 of the 88-acre site will remain
naturally preserved, featuring natural
and landscaped parkland, bike trails
and the beautiful Rouge River. Through
planned enhancements, residents will
also enjoy the expansion of existing
trails and bike routes.
Other energy conservation
measures include compartmentalized
suites, integrated fan coil units,
BTU meters, hot and cold water meters,
LED lighting, sustainable building
materials, and 21 charging stations
for electric cars.
Times Group’s Uptown Market has
rapidly become the retail destination
in the Markham-Richmond Hill area.
Situated right in the heart of Uptown
Markham in Markham Centre, the
Market features a European-style plaza
that harmoniously blends residential
with retail. Surrounding Riverside is a
wealth of other amenities, including
a myriad of shops and restaurants,
many parks, and top-ranked schools
as well as the new York University
campus located in the heart of the
Markham Centre. York University is
projected to complete about the same
time as Riverside in 2019 and will be a
15-minute walk from Riverside.
Well-connected in every way,
Riverside is in close proximity to the
picturesque Main Street of Unionville
- with direct access to all major traffic
arteries and public transit stations. VIVA,
TTC and GO Trains are all conveniently
close by, with a BRT system coming
soon across Highway 7.
For more than a quarter of a
century, Times Group Corporation has
been constructing premium-quality
residential and commercial properties
throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
With a focus on exceptional quality,
enduring value and green living,
Times Group pioneered sustainable
development standards – a reflection
of the company’s environmental
conscience and commitment.

latest phase of the fabulous Uptown
Markham community, register today at

SQ2: A WORLD CLASS COMMUNITY

LIVE EN ROUTE
When you need to get around or out-of-town, Queen West offers connection at all corners. From subway stops to the streetcar, travelling afar or a few blocks has never been so convenient.
WEST OF EXPECTATION
It’s along Queen Street West where the fashion-forward can find a pair of vintage Levis, the latest look in espadrille sandals and the perfect lamp for an office den.
