New Columnist Michael Geller: Why Don t They Build Small

Houses Anymore?

Since its inception in 1985, the Real Estate Foundation of BC (REFBC) has dispersed

over $69 million in grants to non-profi t and charitable organizations, post-secondary institutions, First Nation groups, and other entities that demonstrate innovation and leadership in the built environ-ment, sustainable food systems and freshwater management. Yet most people have never heard of it.

REW.ca chatted with Jack Wong, the foundation’s CEO, about how REFBC works to create a more sustainable future for all British Columbians.

Q: You provided 50 grants total-Q: You provided 50 grants total-ling well over $4 million in 2014 ling well over $4 million in 2014 alone, yet you do no fundraising. alone, yet you do no fundraising. Where does the money come from?Where does the money come from?

A:A: When a property is sold any-where in BC – whether it’s a condo, house, mall, or a piece of industrial land – the deposit is held in the Realtor’s brokerage trust account until closing. At any given point in time, that could add up to hun-dreds of millions of dollars just sitting in a bank.

People often think Realtors receive the interest on those funds, but that was never the case. Prior to 1985, fi nancial institutions sim-ply kept it – free money for them. Since REFBC was created, that interest comes to the foundation as our only source of income.

Q: You typically receive 150-plus Q: You typically receive 150-plus grant applications per year. How grant applications per year. How does REFBC decide which to fund?does REFBC decide which to fund?

A:A: Projects must show leader-

ship in land use stewardship and

the ability to change the way peo-

ple live. They must have longev-

ity, and they must be replicable

– meaning a model developed in

Vancouver could be used in Prince

George or Vancouver Island. There

has to be a clear need for the solu-

tion so we’re not funding research

with no long-term purpose.

Our adjudication process is

extremely proactive. We don’t

just write a cheque if there are

enough boxes checked off . We go

on the road and talk to the people

involved in every project we are

considering. It’s the only way to

gain a deep understanding of all

the issues.

Q: What are some recent exam-Q: What are some recent exam-

ples of projects you’ve funded?ples of projects you’ve funded?

A: A: In 2013, we gave a $45,000

grant to Atira Women’s Resource

Society. Their vision was to build

a three-storey residence for mar-

ginalized women in Vancouver’s

Downtown Eastside out of discard-

ed shipping containers. Ultimately,

Atria House won numerous awards

and there are plans for a second,

larger residence. But more impor-

tantly, when I talked to the women

who live there, many were in tears.

One told me she would have been

dead without this opportunity.

Another is our fi ve-year com-

mitment to fund an adjunct pro-

fessorship at UBC’s Indigenous

Community Planning Program. The

grant allows graduate students

to visit First Nations

communities and expe-

rience the cultural dif-

ferences that must be

taken into account when

planning them. For non-

aboriginal students, it’s

an eye opener.

Q: What is REFBC’s Q: What is REFBC’s

involvement with the involvement with the

Sole Foods Farms beside Sole Foods Farms beside

Concord Pacifi c’s down-Concord Pacifi c’s down-

town presentation centre? town presentation centre?

A:A: This is an exciting,

truly win-win scenario.

While the developer is

waiting to build on what’s

currently a parking lot, the

City gives them a break on

property tax if they allow

Sole Foods to use it for

urban agriculture. It is a

business enterprise that

incorporates commercial

farming practices, provides

employment and a sense of

self-worth to local Downtown

Eastside residents, and not

only supplies high-end res-

taurants like Hawkesworth

but also donates produce to

local meal programs.

When Yaletown began it was just a few residential towers. Imagine if Urban Fare and Starbucks were there from the start. River District Town Centre will launch as a complete neighbourhood, with retail, restaurant, residences, parks and playgrounds. Now is your chance to become part of this new neighbourhood—built from the ground up on the last section of Vancouver’s waterfront.

Kerrisdale has long been one of Vancouver’s most sought-after neighbourhoods to live, work and play in. This tree-lined, quaint enclave has a rich history dating back to 1905.

Considered the crème de la crème of neighbourhoods, this is where Boulevard Private Residences found its home.

“Kerrisdale is noted as an upscale enclave of Westside Vancouver,” says Lily Korstanje

managing director, Magnum Projects. “There is Ivy league cache here because of it’s close proximity to some of Vancouver’s highest rated public and private schools, including Magee, Point Grey, St. George’s, York House, Vancouver College and Little Flower Academy.”

Boulevard in Kerrisdale is a boutique-style, four storey building showcasing an exqui-site collection of 38 Designer Residences, featuring junior, one, two and three bedroom condo-miniums.

“We are 70 per cent sold and we are releasing the remaining 30 per cent of our homes,” adds Korstanje. “There is still a good mix of all suite types available.

Our junior one bedroom is open style studio with built-in Murphy bed, 150 square foot patio, a parking stall and storage space all for $367,900. For that price, a young couple starting out can actually live in Kerrisdale.”

For discerning buyers who are looking for luxury condo living, Boulevard features old world craftsmanship and signature fi n-ishes such as: Oak engineered hardwood fl ooring throughout living space, nine foot ceilings (10’ in the ground level condos), plush wool-blend carpeting in bedrooms and Zen-inspired bath-rooms with frameless glass show-ers.

“Our patios range from 150 to 400 square feet of extra living space, making it a perfect exten-sion of your home … where do you get that downtown?,” asks Korstanje.

The kitchens are guaranteed to wow even a celebrated chef. Everything you dream of is here: choice of soft-close cabinetry in white high gloss, white oak or natural oak, Caesarstone coun-tertops with a 1½” square edge fi nish, ceramic tile backsplash, Franke single bowl undermount

stainless steel sink with a Hansgrohe polished chrome fau-cet, pullout spray, and garbura-tor and an Energy Star Fisher & Paykel stainless steel appliance package.

The private bedrooms are an oasis of luxury with its plush car-peting, large walk-in closets and marble-tiled master ensuite.

As one of the most distin-guished neighbourhoods in Vancouver, you will fi nd plenty of amenities including transit and recreational opportunities, all within easy walking or driv-ing distance. Boutique shops and cafes, easy access to UBC and transit are just a few of the rea-sons why you want to own at Boulevard.

These gorgeous homes come to you from the highly respected Redekop Group of Companies, a builder with more than 25 years of quality workmanship.

“In pre-sale you want a builder you can trust,” says Korstanje, adding they built the upscale Crescent West townhomes in UBC and Kitswest in Kitsilano.

“Redekop is renowned as a builder with integrity. Their motto is: ‘We build it; we guarantee it.’”
