DEC 5, 2015 - JAN 2, 2016 | NEW CONDO GUIDE 3 2 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Smaller households, smaller homes

The view in review

Canadian households are shrinking

according to Statistics Canada data.

Seven decades ago, the average

household consisted of 4.3 people; by

2011, the average size had dropped

to 2.5 people per household, albeit,

there’s plenty more of us to house.

While the majority of Canadian

homes over the last century were

built to support larger families

comprised of two parents with

children, nowadays one or two

people make up the majority of

households, which is why apartment

and condominium living — in urban

areas in particular — have become

increasingly popular.

The impact of smaller families on

the Canadian housing market has

been signifi cant, spurring a dramatic

change in the types of homes and

apartments being constructed.

The introduction of urban

townhomes, bachelor apartments,

studio lofts and condominiums of

all shapes and sizes is e� ectively

servicing smaller families and singles

who need homes and nearby

amenities. While larger homes are still

a need for some, the next time you

see another crane in the air keep this

new demographic dynamic in mind.

Skyscrapers, highrises and mansions

in the sky, condos are taller — and

views keep getting better.

Sweeping panoramic views of the

cityscape, greenspace and lakefront,

all have their appeal, and the higher

up you go, the better and less

obstructed they become.

Those great views are a privilege

you pay for, in most buildings they’re

part of the pricing strategy. Higher

fl oors and di� erent exposures cost

more.

But are you guaranteed that view?

Can the developer confi rm nothing

will ever be built that may a� ect your

sight lines to the waterfront? It’s

defi nitely a question to ask. If there

are multiple phases, the developer

may know, and if the property borders

protected land there may be more

assurance, but make sure you know

what you get before you buy to avoid

disappointment down the road.

Advice | BILD REPORT

By Bryan Tuckey

Bryan Tuckey is President and CEO of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) and is a land-use planner who has worked for municipal, regional and provincial governments. He can be found on

Twitter (twitter.com/bildgta), Facebook (facebook.com/bildgta) and BILD’s o� cial online blog (bildblogs.ca).

Building homes that people can a� ord

“AFFORDABLE HOUSING” and

“housing a ordability” are not the

same thing but addressing one can

impact the other.

Simply put, a ordable housing

is housing for people in need. This

can include seniors, young families,

low and moderate income workers,

people with special needs and the

homeless. There are many kinds of

a ordable housing and it can include

low-cost market housing as well as

subsidized rental housing.

Housing a ordability is the degree

to which housing is attainable to

anyone, at any income level.

We all recognize that the GTA is in

need of a ordable housing and that

there are challenges in building more

of it. One of the biggest challenges

stems from a lack of federal and

provincial government funding

and incentives. Over the last few

decades, delivering a ordable

housing has largely shifted to

municipalities and social agencies,

who have limited resources and

turn to private developers.

At the same time, we know that it

is becoming harder for many people

in the GTA to fi nd homes at prices

they can a ord. Currently the average

price of a new single-detached

home is more than $800,000 and the

average price of a new condo is at

least $400,000.

The GTA needs both more

a ordable housing and homes that

people of all income levels can a ord

to purchase. We need to ensure that

we increase the amount of a ordable

housing without impacting the

a ordability of housing for everyone.

Policies and programs that

make housing more expensive for

everyone should be avoided. There

are unintended consequences when

municipalities mandate the inclusion

of a set number of a ordable housing

units within a market building or

project. It’s not cheaper to build

them. The cost to create a ordable

homes is spread across the other

units and is ultimately paid by the

other homebuyers.

So how can we make it happen

without a ecting the ability for

people to still buy homes?

Municipalities can leverage the land

that they own and include the cost

of delivering a ordable housing units

in the asking price. Adding the cost

of providing a ordable housing units

after the land is purchased can make

the project unfeasible.

Other ways include municipalities

working with the development

industry to save time and money,

especially when a project that

includes a ordable housing units is

going through the planning process.

Cities can also encourage

the construction of a ordable

housing by updating their zoning

by-laws and determining from the

outset where this type of housing is

needed. They can o er incentives

to support the business case for an

a ordable housing project or units

within a development.

Incentives could be fi nancial

such as phasing, deferring or

waiving development charges, but

others could be reducing parking

requirements or the parkland

dedication required.

Most importantly, the need for

a ordable housing cannot outweigh

the need to keep all homes in the GTA

a ordable for people to purchase.

INVESTING IN A pre-construction

condo is not without risk. You are

e� ectively buying a contract with the

hope that one day this contract will

become a piece of real estate that is

worth more than the price you are

paying for it today. A lot can happen

in those three to fi ve years while your

condo is being built. Here are two tips

to help ensure your investment is a

successful one.

1. Always buy below market value

Your goal should always be to buy

something that will increase in value,

and the best way to do that is to

buy something that is priced below

the current market value of a similar

resale property. For example, if a

one-bedroom across the street in

a brand new completed building

sells at $300,000, and you can buy

a similar one-bedroom in a pre-

construction condo at $285,000,

then you are well insulated from any

market fl uctuations over the next few

years and you are positioned to have

a property that is worth more when

completed than when you bought it

before the shovels hit the ground.

2. Always buy cash-fl ow positive

Investing in real estate is not a

get-rich-quick scheme, but it is

how most of the world’s wealthiest

people have earned their fortunes.

The best real estate investors always

buy for the long term. I always

encourage my clients to take the

long-view approach when buying

pre-construction and to plan on

renting their unit out for at least

one year (preferably more) after

the completion of the building.

Flipping before project completion

(assignment) is a highly risky strategy

and should be considered only as a

back-up plan.

With this in mind, you should

only buy a pre-construction condo

that will provide you with positive

or break-even cash fl ow with the

standard 20- to 25-per-cent down

payment. If at the current valuation

and given current market rates for

rents, you cannot reasonably expect

to cover all your expenses, then

stay away!

If you do your homework before

buying by following these two tips,

you will be in great shape for years

to come.

BUYING A NEW HOME is one of

the most exciting steps you can

take in your life. It’s also one of the

biggest fi nancial investments you

will ever make, so choosing wisely is

important.

There’s so much to consider, from

location right down to your kitchen

counters, and of course, there are

many condominiums on the market

o� ering phenomenal choices.

A great way to narrow down

your search is to make a list – or in

the case of savvy computer users,

a spreadsheet – that includes the

items you really have to have, and

those that would be nice, but are

negotiable. Then, compare apples

to apples to get the most for your

condominium dollar!

Start with the big picture. Where

do you want to live? Under your

“location” column, note how far

buildings are from your work,

your family and the places you go

regularly, such as sports venues, club

meeting halls, places of worship, etc.

Keep in mind that the distance from

point A to point B on a map is only

part of the picture. It’s a good idea to

actually do the drive to these spots

and fi nd out how much time it takes

with road twists and turns, tra� c and

the like. If the condo is close to public

transportation, you will save a lot of

money on gas mileage and wear and

tear on your vehicle – and maybe you

don’t need to own a car at all.

Keep an open mind, too. Buying in

an established area is great, but it can

also be wise to consider purchasing

in an up-and-coming area where

real estate values are likely to rise as

the neighbourhood becomes more

established – it’s a great way to gain

equity.

You’ll also want to consider the

exterior of the condominiums

you look at. Are they part of a

master-planned community that

encompasses parks, landscaping,

courtyards and retail venues? Or are

you looking for something on the

lake? Does the exterior architecture

appeal to you? Figure out a rating

system and jot notes on your list

accordingly. If you have a taste for

the modern, you will probably be

happiest coming home to a sleek

condo with clean lines.

Don’t forget about the amenities.

Today’s common areas are

uncommonly beautiful, and you

should think of them as an extension

of your living space. Your list could

include a pool, fi tness room, party

room, games room, guest suite,

theatre room, rooftop garden, virtual

golf and any other amenity you come

across. Having these spaces in the

building enables you to entertain a

crowd, barbecue or play pool with

friends, hold a Grey Cup party for

the gang and host overnight visitors,

regardless of how compact your

suite may be. Remember that even if

you think you may not use a specifi c

amenity, these can all add to the

resale value of your suite if and when

you move in the future.

Next on your list should be

features and fi nishes, and here’s

where you need to watch comparing

apples and oranges. Your brochure

package should have a Schedule A

of appointments. Study it carefully.

For example, most condos o� er

hardwood in the main living area,

granite kitchen countertops and

stainless steel appliances with the

purchase price. Those that don’t may

carry a lower price tag, but if these

items are on your must-have list, then

you’ll have to pay to upgrade.

Nowadays you’ll fi nd incentives

galore. Again, look at the big picture.

Receiving free upgrades with your

purchase may be just the thing that

tips the scales toward one condo

over another.

Remember, every piece of real

estate you buy is an investment,

whether you live in it or not. When

you shop, compare fairly, and the best

way to do that is to make a list, and

check it twice. You’re sure to end up

with something nice!

FOR THE AVERAGE homebuyer,

there are some legal terms that

require translation. The Government

of Ontario keeps records of every

piece of property in the province.

These records are called the “title

documents.” The document on fi le,

that says who owns the property, is

called the “transfer,” or “deed.” All

of these documents are fi led with

the government – a process that is

called “registering” the document.

When a bank lends money and gets

a record of this loan on title, the

document is called the “mortgage” or

a “charge.” When the charge is paid

o� , a new document is fi led with the

government o� ce and it is called a

“discharge.” If only part of the charge

is paid o� , a document called a

“partial discharge” can be fi led. There

are many other documents, but these

are a good starting point.

Usually when a developer/builder

starts a new project, he will go to a

bank or other fi nancial institution and

just like you, arrange for a mortgage

or charge. The di� erence, however, is

that this can be a huge charge. As an

example, the builder/developer may

have a $50- or $60-million “blanket”

charge applied to enable him/her to

create and build the project. The next

thing that happens is that the house

or condominium is built and sold, and

it is time for closing.

In the Agreement of Purchase and

Sale will be a clause that will relate

to the discharge of that part of the

blanket charge which a� ects the

property you are buying. The builders’

lawyers (the good ones, in any case)

add the clause that the purchaser

will accept the promise (undertaking)

of the builder’s lawyer to register

the partial discharge in a reasonable

period of time, but will give on closing

two important things:

a| a letter (“discharge statement”)

from the bank or other fi nancial

institution (“mortgagee” or

“charge”) setting out how much

money has to be paid to the

chargee to obtain the partial

discharge; and

b| a direction from the builder to the

purchaser, telling the purchaser to

pay the amount of money needed

to obtain the partial discharge

directly to the chargee.

The clauses I will not accept stop

with the purchaser being forced to

accept the builder’s or the builder’s

lawyer’s undertaking to register a

partial discharge, without the other

information.

Now, I do not believe the builder

or the builder’s lawyers who do not

include this information would give

the promise without meaning it,

but what about things out of their

control? For example, if:

» the builder goes bankrupt

» the builder has a dispute with

the bank

» some other party seizes the money

from the builder

» the builder has an internal

shareholders dispute and assets

are frozen

» the lawyer goes to Argentina with

the money

» the builder goes to Tahiti with

the money

If we had followed a) and b), none

of that would matter. My complaint

is that it does not cost the builder

anything to give this piece of mind

and security to the purchaser. It is just

usually the fault of some lawyer trying

to prove how good he or she can be.

So be careful.

Watch for these tricky clauses and

consult a lawyer, because only

a lawyer can provide legal advice

and care enough to catch these kinds

of things.

A rare combination of exceptional features 5 reasons why The LakeShore is the ideal choice for condo buyers

THERE’S NO LACK of choices for

condos in Toronto, but it’s rare to

find one that truly satisfies the needs

of all condo buyers. The LakeShore

is the exception and here are five

reasons why:

1. Stunning lake views

The LakeShore is located at Lake

Shore Boulevard and Bathurst Street

in the Downtown Toronto waterfront

neighbourhood. To the south is Lake

Ontario, providing stunning lake views

for residents. The TTC station is a

minute walk from The LakeShore.

Parks, schools, community centre,

library, banks and restaurants are

all just steps away. A convenient

location and a prime property that

many buyers want.

2. Heritage meets modern architecture

Unique architecture is always a

big attraction. The LakeShore’s

historic meets modern

architecture will be an icon in

Downtown Toronto, and will be a

property that buyers will be proud

to own.

3. Flagship supermarket

The 50,000-sq.-ft. Loblaws

store contains a full array of goodies

that make grocery shopping an

enjoyment. The LakeShore also has

88,000 sq. ft. of high-quality retail

and an 11,000-sq.-ft. restaurant right

downstairs, providing the ultimate

convenience for residents.

4. Amazing amenities

The LakeShore is possibly the only

condo that off ers a sky garden

and tea room. There is also a sky

barbeque and dining area, resort-style

spa, steam room, state-of-the-art

fi tness centre, yoga studio, yoga/tai

chi deck, children’s playground, pet

play area and spa. Residents will also

enjoy mini golf, games room, private

theatre, study room, party room

and more. It’s like living in a fi ve-star

resort.

5. Luxury fi nishes

Included are Carrera marble tiled

walls and fl oors, quartz countertops,

laminate cabinetry with soft-close

hardware, drawer organizers,

integrated Bosch appliances, roller-

shade window coverings and more.

These fi nishes are not only functional

but also aesthetically pleasing.

FULL DISCLOSURE: there aren’t really

37 startling facts about Toronto real

estate. But there is one very, very

startling number when it comes to

homebuying in Canada’s largest

housing market – 37.

That number is now the average

age for fi rst-time homebuyers in

Toronto.

Yes, you read that right. Thirty-

seven.

Canada Mortgage and Housing

Corp. dropped this little tidbit at its

Housing Outlook Conference in

Toronto recently.

And while it might be an

exaggeration to say the audience

gasped when hearing this new

fact, there was defi nitely an audible

reaction from the crowd of builders,

realtors, lenders and others in the

industry.

“I know, it’s a shock, right?” Dana

Senagama, principal market analyst

for the GTA at CMHC, told New

Home Guide.

She clarifi es that that fi gure applies

to the Toronto CMA, which does not

include Burlington or Oshawa.

“It’s a fairly mature age, but I don’t

think it should come as any great

surprise… mid-30s, by the time you’ve

gone to college, paid o� your debts

and gotten married and thinking

about settling, down… But, yeah, it’s

getting up there.”

Just how much it’s “getting up

there” is even more startling when

you compare it to the national

number – which, according to

various sources, comes in closer to

37 startling facts about Toronto real estate


29. One estimate suggests two-thirds

of fi rst-time buyers in Canada are

younger than 35, and almost half are

between 25 and 34.

What’s responsible for the disparity?

The tremendous price growth in

Toronto real estate.

According to the latest House

Price Survey from Royal LePage, the

average price of a home in Toronto

in the third quarter of 2015 was

$639,970, up 11.2 per cent from

$575,640 in the third quarter of 2014.

(In comparison, and to Senagama’s

point regarding Oshawa, the average

price in that market for the same

period was $364,366, up 9.7 per cent

from $332,151.)

Prices for new homes are even less

welcoming for fi rst-timers in Toronto.

The average price of new

townhomes, semi-detached and

detached homes in the GTA climbed

to a record-setting $811,579,

according to RealNet Canada Inc.

Highrises are clearly more in the

range for fi rst-time buyers. The price

in this housing type in September

2015 was $441,156, o� only slightly

from September 2014 when the

average price was $450,014.

“Just because the prices are high

in Toronto, doesn’t mean that choice

doesn’t exist,” says Senagama. “It

just means that you may have to

compromise in your location and the

type of house you want to purchase.

“If you’re thinking of downtown

Toronto, given the current house

prices, especially in lowrise, even

a town (home), prices may be out

of reach for the typical fi rst-time

buyer. But condos are out there, the

price point is signifi cantly lower than

lowrise. You do have choice.”

First-time buyers intent on buying

a lowrise home may want to look

outside the city, she says.

“Look in Peel region, in areas like

Milton and Halton, or in the Durham

region, particularly Whitby and

Oshawa and those areas.”

WHEN LIBERTY DEVELOPMENT — one of the GTA’s leading

developers of award-winning, mixed-use condominium

communities in the 905 and 416 — launches a new

community, the hype and headlines are extraordinary.

“Launching a new site in this red hot real estate market

demands that the developer fi nd ways to make the

project stand out,” says Marco Filice, senior vice president

and general counsel at Liberty Development. “Liberty is

focused on driving early awareness and sales for every

community we introduce. But as it is with developers

across the city, once our sites reach sales levels of 90

or 95 per cent, our construction phase fi nishes and our

purchasers start occupying the building, our marketing

machine begins to slow, and we shift our marketing focus

to the next project.”

While Liberty, like so many other developers, has

pursued this approach — successfully — for years, Filice

and his team have realized that this pre-construction

focus on sales and marketing is limited as it fails to address

the large segment of today’s condo buyers attracted to

‘move-in ready’ residences.

“Often, after occupancies, developers are left with

a handful of unsold suites,” says Marco Filice. “These

suites available o� er the same benefi ts of residences sold

during the pre-construction period, including full Tarion

protections, but without the hype of a launch campaign.”

“While the opportunities created by move-in ready (or

‘inventory suites’) may be the industry’s best kept secret,

we think it’s time the secret got out,” adds Filice.

With an unparalleled selection of move-in ready product

at its award-winning communities, including World on

Yonge, Royal Gardens, and Terrace on Danforth, Liberty

is committed to raising awareness of these opportunities,

and recently introduced a web-based platform

called The GTA’s Greatest Condo Home Show (www.

condohomeshow.ca).

A content rich, multi-media website for new homebuyers

and sales agents alike, The GTA’s Greatest Condo Home

Show allows potential buyers to virtually visit a range of

Liberty developed condos; all ready for occupancy.

The user-friendly site acts as a virtual sales centre, giving

visitors an intimate glimpse into their future home. With

actual photos and video clips, The GTA’s Greatest Condo

Home Show o� ers potential buyers all the information

they need, including suite sizes, layouts, prices and

incentive or promotional information, combined with real-

time capabilities to book an appointment with a trained

sales professional.

Trending

“We knew there was a signifi cant and untapped

consumer market for move-in ready suites,” adds Filice,

“and the success of The GTA’s Greatest Condo Home

Show has proved that our sense of the market was

correct.”

With an overwhelming response to the site’s launch,

Liberty’s unique web-based initiative has connected

unsold suites with buyers determined to enjoy the benefi ts

of new condominium residences in fi nished communities.

Unlike resales, new suite sales directly from the

developer allow the purchaser to enjoy a brand new suite,

access the distinctive incentives only a developer can

provide, benefi t from the full protections of the Tarion

Warranty program, and move into their new homes within

days of purchase.

“Purchasers seeking immediate occupancies shouldn’t

be forced to settle for pre-owned suites on the MLS

network, just because developers haven’t promoted their

move-in ready suites actively enough,” says Marco Filice.

“That’s why we launched The GTA’s Greatest Condo Home

Show. To bring some attention to the value, convenience,

opportunity and immediate gratifi cation of buying in a

fi nished, award-winning Liberty community.”

ready suites at World on Yonge, Royal Gardens, or Terrace

Why didn’t the Toronto condo market crash in 2015?By Ben Myers

040-041 Stat Chat with Ben Myers highrise Nov 23 2015_MC_SB.indd 2 12/1/15 2:09 PM


2015 WAS SUPPOSED to be the year.

2015 was going to be the year that

all those speculative, greedy, and

misguided condominium investors

from 2011 were going to lose a lot

of money. That was the prediction

coming from many people that

commented on the Canadian and

Toronto housing markets over the

past fi ve years – just wait until all

those units come on to the market

they said.

The background goes like this:

in 2011, there were approximately

28,000 new condominium apartment

sales in the Greater Toronto Area

(GTA), this lead to a spike in the

number of highrise units that started

construction in 2012. Condos under

construction increased 47 per cent in

2012 to just under 50,000 units! Over

the past 12 months (November 2014

to October 2015), construction was

completed on approximately 31,000

units in the GTA, more than twice the

total over the preceding 12 months

(per CMHC).

Amazingly, this onslaught of supply

hasn’t overwhelmed the GTA market.

Although rental rate increases are very

modest for private condo landlords,

they continue to grow. The 7.3-per-

cent annual increase in resale condo

prices was the highest third-quarter

total in four years according to

Urbanation Inc.

So what happened? Where did all

these people come from to fi ll all

these condo suites? There are a lot of

noteworthy trends occurring not only

in Toronto, but globally. According

to Nielsen’s Generational Lifestyle

Survey, just 26 per cent of Millennials

want to live in the suburbs, just 17

per cent said getting married was

important, and just 13 per cent said

having children was a goal of theirs.

So a desire to be downtown, an

increasing number of single-person

households, and couples choosing

not to have children – all these

factors bode well for developers of

highrise condominium towers in

Toronto. Another statistic from the

Nielsen survey indicated that just 22

per cent of millennials have made

homeownership a top priority, which

is another positive sign for condo

investors looking for tenants.

According to a report by Ryerson

University’s Urban Research and

Land Development department, the

City of Toronto added about 26,000

millennials annually between 2011

and 2014, an increase of 5,000 people

per year based on the fi ve years that

preceded them. By comparison,

Toronto witnessed a decline of 4,800

baby boomers per year during that

same time period.

In addition, the a� ordability

situation in Toronto has only

worsened, with lowrise new home

prices increasing 17 per cent annually

and lowrise resale house prices

moving up by 12 per cent year-over-

year. This factor has continued to

drive prospective homeowners and

renters into newly completed highrise

condos, instead of suburban semis

and rowhouses.

The number of GTA condo

apartments under construction has

declined 20 per cent from the end of

2014, and there are few people calling

for an oversupply of condo units

in Toronto on a go-forward basis.

However, it still makes sense to

hire a good realtor, do your research,

and get a better understanding of

the market in the neighbourhood

you want to buy into. Happy condo

hunting.

Why didn’t the Toronto condo market crash in 2015?By Ben Myers

040-041 Stat Chat with Ben Myers highrise Nov 23 2015_MC_SB.indd 2 12/1/15 2:09 PM


2015 WAS SUPPOSED to be the year.

2015 was going to be the year that

all those speculative, greedy, and

misguided condominium investors

from 2011 were going to lose a lot

of money. That was the prediction

coming from many people that

commented on the Canadian and

Toronto housing markets over the

“ Today’s Cabbagetown is all of that and then some, nestled in the heart of downtown Toronto.”

Neighbourhood Profi le

CabbagetownA small town in the heart of a big city

By Kara Kuryllowicz

URBAN, ELEGANT, hard-scrabble,

upscale, sophisticated and working-

class. Today’s Cabbagetown is all of

that and then some, nestled in the

heart of downtown Toronto.

Lifestyle

Cabbagetown is for those who

embrace city living and its inherent

advantages, such as the extraordinary

range of cultural and gastronomic

opportunities just steps from home.

With the rest of the downtown

core within easy reach, this ‘hood

celebrates a pocket where culture

and the arts live, breathe and dance.

Vibe

“A small town in the heart of a big

city.” Funky, artsy, Victorian prim

and proper with a dose of real

urban grit. You can make your life in

Cabbagetown whatever you want it

to be. Perfect for a strolling ramble

with lots of lingering stops in parks,

co� ee shops, boutiques and galleries.

Meet the neighbours

Cabbagetown is home to small

households. There are far more

singles than couples and more

couples than families. More

people live in apartments than

townhomes, semis and single-

detached homes, due primarily to the

fact there are more of them

and they’re more a� ordable.

In the area

Minutes to TTC subway lines and

bus routes, as well as the Don Valley

Parkway, the Gardiner Expressway and

Union Station as well as the Toronto

Island Airport and Pearson International.

Planes, trains & automobiles

Depending on your perspective and

the choices you make, Cabbagetown

is anywhere from highly a� ordable to

suitable only for the a� uent.

Real estate

If you like an intimate, urban

neighbourhood and you’re happy

exploring, Cabbagetown is perfect.

But keep in mind that Toronto’s

ongoing construction, repairs and

maintenance can make getting

beyond the city limits irksome to

road-rage inducing.

THE BEST WAY TO APPRECIATE the built-in design and

construction quality you can enjoy as a suite owner at Fifth

on the Park is to tour the model section of the Emerald

City presentation centre. The fi fth residential condominium

in the master-planned North York community, Fifth on

the Park is walking distance to many facilities like the Don

Mills subway station. Appointed and furnished by Dan

Menchions, a founding partner of II By IV Design, the model

appeals to the spectrum of purchasers at the newest tower,

from fi rst-time buyers to downsizing purchasers.

“The model shows the quality and execution of Fifth on

the Park’s suite fi nishes,” Menchions says. “For example,

we used the wide, long plank laminate fl ooring that comes

standard. The lighter colour presents a high contrast in

the grain. It’s di� erent and gives a warm textural feel.” He

explains that the choice of furnishings also illustrates how

buyers can personalize their suites with both new items and

well-loved pieces. “Most of the furniture is mid-modern

with a slightly Asian fl air in its simplicity and styling.”

Overall, the model is a comfortable haven. “To inspire

potential purchasers, we created a feature wall in the living

room that wraps around into the bedroom and culminates

Trending

Fifth on the Park design qualityshowcased in stunning model

in a horizontal shelf,” he says. “The kitchen has a quartz

countertop and fl at-paneled contemporary cabinets

in a blonde wood colour with a linear-tile porcelain

backsplash. The optional movable island, o� ered as an

upgrade in select units, is on casters and incorporates an

extension that can fold down or up, depending on how

many will be dining.”

In the master bedroom, the added suggestion wall

sconces provide light rather than table lamps to allow for

more surface area, and the wood wall surround cradles

a headboard with an asymmetrical upholstered pattern.

“We followed through in the master ensuite,” Menchions

explains, “with a linear porcelain wall tile in both matte and

gloss fi nishes. When you walk in, you see a slight colour

change, and it’s a subtle yet stunning visual e� ect.”

Among the other standards are approximate nine-ft.

ceilings, certain stainless steel kitchen appliances and

integrated dishwasher, and in the bathroom, a shower stall

with glass door, porcelain tile fl ooring and a soaker tub for

certain units. The palette in the model represents one of

four pre-selected packages purchasers can choose from.

With architecture by WZMH Architects, Fifth on the

Park will rise to approximately 24 storeys in height from a

currently proposed three-storey podium that will house

retail venues on the ground fl oor. The II By IV Design team

also appointed the condo’s amenity spaces including the

modern lobby, with concierge service and a WiFi lounge.

Amenities, shared with The Colours of Emerald City,

extend to an indoor pool, hot tub, change rooms and

saunas, a yoga room and fi tness room, a karaoke/theatre

room and arcade/games centre. Residents can also access

a lounge and dining room with a fully-equipped kitchen

and an outdoor area, plus a barbecue terrace.

Emerald City will be home to the new Parkway Forest

Community Centre and a public art installation by

Canadian novelist and visual artist Douglas Coupland.

Suites are available in one-bedroom, one-bedroom plus

fl ex space, two-bedroom, two-bedroom plus media, and

sizes range from approximately 486 to 818 sq. ft. Prices

begin from the mid-$200s.

The Emerald City presentation centre is located on

Sheppard Ave., just east of Don Mills Rd. For hours

Inspiration | DESIGNER ADVICE

By Yanic Simard

UNDER-FOOT

FOCUS

CHOOSING BEAUTIFUL NEW WOOD flooring can

dramatically change the mood of your home’s interior —

brightening, deepening, modernizing or warming up your

decor and more! However, after you’ve decided between

material compositions and tantalizing tones, there is

another huge decision to make — one that can make or

break the impact of your important investment: the layout.

Here’s my guide to choosing the right installation pattern

to suit your space, so that regardless of what material you

choose, you make the most of it!

Yanic Simard is New Condo Guide’s design editor, principal designer of award-winning Toronto Interior Design Group (tidg.ca), and regular guest expert on City’s Cityline. Check out tidg.ca.

StraightThe most common layout for fl ooring

planks, a straight pattern is typically

the easiest to do — especially in

standard rectangular or nearly

rectangular spaces. In this format,

installation usually begins aligned

to the longest straight wall, with the

planks (or tiles) laid in parallel rows

running from one end of the room to

the other.

In a straight lay, long lines are

created that can help a room appear

longer. The linear format of the

boards acts like stripes, visually

lengthening that axis of the space.

This layout also typically involves

the fewest cuts (since many boards

will be installed with no cuts at all),

resulting in low material waste

and fewer hours of work — perfect

for DIYers or those sticking to a

strict budget.

Because a straight scheme is

so classic, it will never go out of

style. However, some other options

can create a lot more drama, or

extend the illusion of a vast space

even further.

Try this: If a space is actually too long

or narrow, such as a tight hallway

or kitchen, laying the boards or

tiles perpendicular to the long axis

will help widen the look instead of

lengthening it even further, bringing

proportion to the space.

DiagonalA variation on a straight layout, a

diagonal layout either follows one

angled wall (if your unit has a less

typical shape) or simply runs from

corner to corner of the largest room,

refusing to be tied down to any wall

at all!

A diagonal layout takes the

lengthening power of a straight lay

and maximizes it, creating the longest

line possible to highlight the full size

of an open plan. Diagonal lines also

naturally create a dynamic energy,

helping the eye move about the

space for a livelier atmosphere.

Because a diagonal layout meets all

or most walls at an angle, more cuts

will need to be made, and the room

for error will be higher, lengthening

the construction time (and making

work tricky for DIY installers).

This look works well in more

complex fl oor plans with no one

“best” wall to start from, and elegantly

connects adjacent spaces.

Try this: Rather than running the

diagonal line directly from corner to

corner, use a simple 45-degree angle

to keep all the cuts consistent.

HerringboneA herringbone pattern is both a

traditional staple and a returned

trend, making it a popular choice

for creating that high-end look. It’s

important though to understand the

diff erences between true herringbone

and its cousin, the “chevron” pattern.

The primary diff erence between

the two variations comes down to

cutting: a herringbone layout places

boards at right angles to each other,

creating repeated zig-zag patterns

that recall the weave of a classic

suiting material. Chevron layouts

create the same zig-zag, but with the

boards cut to meet at a 45-degree

angle, for a more clean and

contemporary eff ect.

Both of these patterns create a bold

statement and a powerful feeling of

motion. The preference for chevron’s

crisp perfection or herringbone’s

more subtle charm comes down to

personal taste.

This installation naturally

requires more time and patience

to achieve than the previous two

options. However, the extra cost

can be balanced by choosing a less

expensive material and letting the

layout deliver the drama.

Try this: Consider a herringbone

treatment for just a key area, such as

an entry vestibule or bathroom tile, to

create a moment of interest without

committing to the look everywhere.

ComplexWhile it’s often considered safe to

stick to the popular standbys, unique

designs can have their place in your

contemporary condo if you keep an

open mind. Here are a few more ideas

to get your creative fl ooring juices

fl owing:

» In a square room, try a square

layout: let the wood start from the

edges and work into the centre

in concentric layers (meeting at a

45-degree angle in the corners.)

Just make sure the installer

plans ahead to achieve a perfect

centrepoint! This look is ideal for a

dining area with a central table.

» An inset tile treatment can make a

perfect visual break in an entryway

or kitchen, and will stand up

to mucky winter boots or the

occasional dropped pot.

» Patterns will read as more

intentional when applied at a larger

scale, so if you’re planning a playful

parquet, consider using a larger

plank to keep the look less busy

and more confi dent.

» If your unit is L-shaped (especially

if the bend is a more unusual

angle), you can change the fl ooring

direction at the intersection — just

don’t change it more than once if

you can help it, so the look stays

mostly consistent.

THE EAST UNITED CONDOS’ groundbreaking

ceremony marked the beginning of a

new chapter for Toronto’s east end. The

unconventional project spearheaded by

SigNature Communities, Berkshire Axis

Development and Andiel Homes is now o� cially

100 per cent sold out.

With the east end undergoing a renaissance,

East United stands out as one of the area’s most

exciting new residential developments that

defi nes the neighbourhood with its bold, non-

conformist attitude and design-driven aesthetic.

“The remarkable success of this project is a

testament to what we have known all along:

the east side is the best side of Toronto,”

said Leslie Marlowe, president of Berkshire

Axis Development. “This neighbourhood has

a distinct sense of community and, most

importantly, it’s a place we’re proud to call

home.”

After a chain of unique marketing initiatives,

including a #EastUvsWest Instagram

competition and a private concert with Toronto

band Young Empires, the East United team

topped o� its groundbreaking in a rather

“groundbreaking” way, collaborating with

Toronto-born artist Dave Johnston to create

a 3D painted sinkhole in the ground. Deputy

Mayor Pam McConnell also joined the East

United Team to celebrate the milestone.

“This is all about city building and building

it together with the private sector, who put

their money on the line and all their ideas,” said

Deputy Mayor McConnell. “The developers

worked with the community and the city and

as a result we have a united east that is just

remarkable.”

East United Condos will be erected at the

corner or Berkeley and King, stretching all the

way to Parliament. The 21-storey, 289-unit,

mixed-use complex integrates the beautifully

preserved Christie, Brown & Co. heritage red-

brick building.

Interiors by the Design Agency are tailored to

residents’ urban lifestyle, thoughtfully curated

in both design and purpose to provide an

escape from the hustle and bustle of the city

streets. The aesthetic pulls inspiration from

Trending

East United Condos celebrates being 100 per cent sold out with groundbreaking in the East End

the intermingling characters of the building’s vibrant locale. The St.

Lawrence Market, King East Design District, the historic cobblestone

streets of the Distillery District and Corktown’s eclectic identity are all

embedded into East United’s design.

The project is scheduled to be completed in fall 2018.

East United is located at 95 Berkeley St. The building will rise 21

storeys and consists of 289 units, o� ering one-, two-, three- and

four-bedroom layouts ranging from 350 sq. ft. to 1,400 sq. ft. For

more information, please visit eastunitedcondos.com.

Purchaser Profile

Local purchases her first new homeat Fuse Modern Condominiums + Authentic Lofts

KARTHIKA BALENDRAN grew up in

Toronto’s Davenport Village and is

looking forward to moving into her

very first home in the neighbourhood.

Neudorfer Corporation’s Fuse

condominium community is proving

highly successful with a range of

purchasers, including first-time

buyers such as Karthika. “I wasn’t

actively searching for a condo,” she

says, “but I saw the signs go up at

Lansdowne Avenue and Dupont

Street, and thought it was worth

a look. This whole area is up and

coming, and I was thrilled there

would be a new residential building.”

Karthika is a digital communications

planner in Toronto, and her

commute is only 20 minutes from

the community. “I really want to stay

in this neighbourhood,” she says.

“It’s convenient for me, and the

commercial stores at the base of the

condominium will add value if I ever

decide to rent or move out.” A Metro

and Shoppers Drug Mart are among

the retail venues on the ground floor

that will be shared by the residents

of the Fuse and Fuse 2 towers. She

says she is delighted with how the

surroundings have developed over

the past decade, with new restaurants

and retail establishments opening

up and families moving in. “The local

grocery store even has a gluten-

free and organic section, which I

appreciate.” Fuse is adjacent to the

trendy Junction Triangle, which is

becoming a sought-after residential

destination in the city as well. Corso

Italia, Bloordale, Bloorcourt, High

Park, Christie Pitts Park and Earlscourt

Park are all situated within blocks.

From first glance, Karthika liked

what she saw when she entered the

Presentation Centre. “The exterior

will be beautiful and will actually

include some of the brick façade of

the historic warehouse in the towers,”

she says. “The design marries the

metropolis type of architecture with

the old-school style warehouse. I love

the juxtaposition of bringing in both

design elements.” As for the more

than 5,500 sq. ft. of amenities that

will be available to residents, she is

thrilled, especially with the Wellness

Gym and Yoga Studio. “Being able

to exercise right in the building is

handy,” she says, “especially for days

when the weather is bad.” She also

looks forward to hosting occasional

get-togethers in the Activity Room

and Event Room that open onto an

outdoor terrace. A Lounge/Library

space and Theatre round out the

condominium’s common areas.

Karthika’s 502-sq.-ft., one-

bedroom suite is perfect for her

needs. “I was drawn to this floorplan

because it’s so open, with no wasted

space. I’m excited to decorate

my own place.” She adds that

the Neudorfer Corporation sales

representatives were incredibly

helpful. “This was my first home

purchase, and they were patient

with me. They walked me through

the contract and everything that’s

expected of me. I feel comfortable

with my decision, and I’m very happy.”

Construction is underway on the

modern 27-storey and 23-storey

point towers. Among the standard

suite appointments are laminate

flooring, rich ceramics and a granite

kitchen countertop. Available choices

range from one- and two-bedroom

Lofts from 595 to 698 sq. ft., and

one-, one plus den, two- and two-

plus den suites from 483 to 872 sq. ft.

Prices begin from the

mid-$240s.

Neudorfer Corporation has been

one of Toronto’s leading real estate

developers for more than 40 years.

This family-owned company is

known for delivering quality homes at

affordable prices, and has completed

numerous highly successful single-

and multiple-family residences.

The Fuse Condos sales centre is

located at 1401 Dupont St. (access off

Lansdowne Ave., south of Dupont).

Hours are Monday to Wednesday 1 to

6 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday 12 to 5

p.m.; Thursday and Friday closed. For

more information, call 416-534-4444

or visit FuseCondos.com.

Property Profile | MINTO GROUP

Highly anticipated Bside at Minto Westside preview launch draws excited crowds

THE ATMOSPHERE WAS electric in downtown

Toronto on a recent Saturday as people flocked

to the exclusive preview launch of Bside at

Minto Westside.

Located at the coveted corner of Front and

Bathurst, this highly-anticipated second phase

launched with an exciting offer to purchasers:

buy a parking space equipped with an electric

vehicle (EV) charging station along with your

condo and Minto will throw in Canada’s top-

selling, fully-electric car, the Nissan LEAF for

free. The program ties in perfectly with Minto’s

commitment to sustainability.

“We were thrilled to offer this new incentive

program to Bside at Minto Westside purchasers,”

said Amanda Wilson Watkins, vice president,

marketing and sales for Minto Group. “Now is

the best time to check out Bside, as this is just

one of several incredible incentives

available to registrants to mark our

preview launch. In addition to the

amazing Nissan LEAF incentive,

credits on closing.”

Starting from the low $200s, the

design-forward 20-storey tower

offers a whole new side of city living.

The new floorplan designs include

soaring ceilings, open concept

layouts and sleek gourmet, integrated

kitchens with breathtaking views

overlooking the waterfront and Fort

York. Some of the floorplans have flex

options for customizability offering

residents a chance to inject their own

personal style.

the second floor, the sophisticated

YTZ lounge opens onto landscaped

courtyards that invite residents to

relax, lounge and entertain al fresco.

The new landmark pays homage to

one of Toronto’s original warehouse

districts with a contemporary

reinterpretation of the architectural

style of the neighbourhood’s heritage

buildings.

Bside at Minto Westside’s

convenient location is surrounded

by Toronto’s celebrated downtown

amenities. Weekends can be spent

wandering the historic King West

entertainment district, sampling

the neighbourhood’s high-end

boutiques, charming cafes and five-

star restaurants.

THE SMELL OF WOOD smoke from an

outdoor fi re pit drew in crowds to the

exclusive unveiling of the presentation

centre for Curated Properties’ latest

breakthrough development, Cabin.

Located in trendy West Queen West,

the presentation centre for Cabin is

constructed entirely out of recyclable

cargo shipping containers. Temporary

sales centres are constantly being

erected and torn down – but Curated

Properties had a di� erent vision.

“Often, you see elaborate condo

sales centres pop up, only to be

demolished within months,” says

Adam Ochshorn, principal, Curated

Properties. “With Cabin, we wanted to

craft homes that are complementary

of West Queen West’s unique

personality; something local,

authentic and sustainable. The idea of

a recyclable presentation centre is a

natural fi t.”

Cabin’s presentation centre will

be completely disassembled and

the containers reused after the

project wraps.

Designed by award-winning RAW

Architects with Canadian-inspired

interiors by Mason Studio, the

presentation centre will showcase

the design behind Cabin’s dual-level

suites. The interior translates cabin

character to a modern environment,

showcasing natural materials like

wood and stone throughout to create

a relaxed, comfortable home without

sacrifi cing style.

“There’s a simplicity and a true

natural appeal to Cabin’s interiors,”

said Stanley Sun, partner, Mason

Studio. “We wanted to create a

humble, instinctive look, warm and

contemporary, removing unnecessary

Trending

polish. Cabin inspired us to stay true

to its Canadiana appeal, using natural

stoneware and eclectic cottage-

esque furniture in the model suite.”

Cabin is a distinct collection of

two-storey homes stacked on top

of each other within a six-storey

envelope. The boutique building will

house 25 homes, each showcasing

ample outdoor space in the form

of a yard, private rooftop garden or

terraces with expansive city views.

For more information, visit

cabintoronto.com.

Curated Properties unveils recyclable presentation centre for Cabin

Cabin by Curated Properties will

arrive as Toronto’s urban lodge,

set to arrive at 45 Dovercourt

Rd. Clad in wood and metal, the

residential address will be a distinct

compendium of 25 two-level

homes within an intimate six-storey

collective. One- to three-bedroom

suites will range from 749 to 1,444

sq. ft., unfolding over two storeys,

priced from the low 500s to over

one million. The project is pre-

construction.

FROM ITS SAIL-INSPIRED 18-storey exterior by Keith

Lo� er McAlpine Architects to its chic interiors by Gordana

Car Interior Design, Sail Condominiums is a work of

art. Gordana’s daughter, Dora, appointed the amenities

to carry through the breath of fresh air created by the

residence’s unique architectural design. All of the common

areas are uncommonly open, light and airy, beginning

with the lobby with its high ceilings, glass walls and plush

seating areas.

“The lobby is so important in a condominium,” Dora

explains. “Residents pass through there every day, and it

makes a fi rst impression on guests. We took great care

planning out this space with stone and wood. Combined

with the views of the courtyard from large windows, this

has the e� ect of bringing the outdoors in. The concierge

desk is made from a clean slab of Calcutta marble, and the

hanging circular lights add a touch of visual drama to this

timeless lobby. The look is grounded by oversize porcelain

tile fl ooring. The overall palette of white and light grey will

stay fresh forever.”

The landscaped courtyard features a green wall along

one side, as well as a rectangular pergola that adds a

cosy feeling. “Like the interior amenities, this outdoor

space has minimal design and very clean lines,” Dora says.

“Everything, including the furnishings, relates to the Party

Room just o� the lobby. In that multi-function space,

which can handle groups from fi ve to 50, we added a bit

of grandeur. Mid-century modern-style furniture in taupes

and browns for warmth, combined with porcelain fl oor

tiles in light and dark greys with an o� set pattern and sleek

fl oor-to-ceiling cabinetry in the kitchen area, create the

feeling of a downtown lounge. The idea is that residents

will want to stay here rather than go out for the evening.”

She explains that timelessness is the driving force in the

fi tness centre as well, where the bright, open surroundings

and fl oor-to-ceiling windows refl ect the energy of the

building’s surroundings. “Light-coloured fl oors and

columns and ceiling detailing with architectural grill lights

add dimension and a sophisticated ambience.”

The suites themselves come with laminate fl ooring

throughout, which Dora says enhances their spacious

feeling. Integrated appliances covered in the same

paneling as the two-toned kitchen cabinetry creates a

seamless transition from the open-concept main living

area. “As long as the skeleton of the space has a timeless

design such as the suites at Sail Condominiums,” Dora

says, “owners can inject their own design style and it will

look beautiful. With the curved shape of this residence, the

suites have a lot of individual character.

Trending

Sail Condominiums is close to a wealth of amenities

Property Profile | Terranata Developments

Take the step; stop renting and start owning at

The Step Condo

IF YOU DON’T THINK you can afford to own a new

condo, you may want to rethink that notion. Terranata

Developments will soon launch The Step Condo, a new

condo project that can turn your dreams of owning a

home into a reality.

The Step is an affordable new condo option located at

Finch and Islington, just minutes away from everything —

steps from groceries, major retail, Humber College and

York University. It is also steps from the library, the gym

and Toronto’s last major river valley. With prices starting

at $144,990, you can say goodbye to renting and hello

to owning a home steps from the lush greenery of the

Humber River.

A modern, elegantly tiered five-storey condo, The

Step Condo features stepped terraces, standard and loft

suites overlooking the Humber River, accentuated by

architectural details that add a modern touch. The subtle

sophistication of the alternating light and dark brick façade

make this a stunning building. The Step feels intimate.

From its attractive contemporary design, to the modern

styling of the front lobby, The Step Condominium will feel

like home the moment residents walk through the front

door. With 111 beautifully designed suites with soaring

nine-ft. ceilings and fitted with designer features and

finishes, it’s obvious that Terranata has paid close attention

to detail and thoughtful space planning.

Amenities include a tastefully

decorated party room for entertaining

friends or a family get together; an

outdoor amenity area with patio for

entertaining and dining al fresco; a

comfortably decorated theatre room,

perfect for movie nights or to watch

the big game; and a fitness room

with all the right equipment to stay fit.

All just steps away.

The convenient location of The

Step Condo makes it easy to get

around, whether it’s by car, bus or

bicycle. Just minutes away from

highways 401, 400, 427 and 407,

residents can easily connect to the

region and beyond. Buses run along

Finch and Islington every five and 10

minutes, respectively, connecting

those without access to a car to the

community and the city.

In terms of being surrounded by

lush green space, The Step sits at

the edge of the West Humber River

Valley and is steps from the Humber

River Recreational Trail, Humber

Valley Bikeway, Rowntree Mills Park,

Gord and Irene Risk Park, Finch-

Islington Park, Albion Gardens Park,

West Humber Trail and the Humber

Arboretum.

Terranata Developments brings

together top Ontario builders with

more than 40 years of experience

offering planning, development and

construction services. With a portfolio

of projects that span the globe, the

Terranata team has been involved

in all aspects of construction and

has developed some of the best

health care, education, commercial,

hospitality and residential projects.

The name Terranata means “land

creator” and speaks to its capacity

to see and realize the potential of

land and neighbourhoods. Terranata

creates modern, forward-thinking real

estate developments that are exciting

and meet the unmet needs of the

community and marketplace.

The Step Condos at Islington

and Finch represents the first of

many innovative new Terranata

residential projects coming to the

GTA and beyond.

University Studios bringing condominium living to Oshawa for under $150,000

IMAGINE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR

condominium living anywhere

in the Greater Toronto Area for

under $150,000 – unheard of

residential value in one of the

hottest condominium markets in the

western world. That is what is being

presented by Podium Developments

and Building Capital’s new University

Studios condominiums in the heart of

Durham’s education hub, adjacent to

the campuses of Durham College and

the University of Ontario in Oshawa.

Once known solely as the home

to General Motors of Canada,

Oshawa is now a vibrant, burgeoning

community of more than 150,000

people. It is the third fastest growing

city in Ontario, and the 14th largest

metropolitan area in Canada, located

on the shores of Lake Ontario, just 30

minutes east of Toronto. Oshawa’s

population is diversifying, welcoming

international businesses, newcomers

and many foreign students each year.

Oshawa has rapidly grown into a

people-friendly environment, with

bustling shops, bistros, restaurants

and galleries within its downtown,

while providing an abundance of

parks, greenspaces, boardwalks and

bike paths along its lakeshore.

Oshawa is fast becoming an

education city, with the massive

expansion of the highly regarded

University of Ontario Institute of

Technology (UOIT), and the explosive

growth of Durham College.

Oshawa is also a centre of

excellence in healthcare and a

regional hub for health and wellness

education, training and service, with

many hospitals and the recently

established Lakeridge Health

Education and Research Network.

As one of Ontario’s most

interconnected cities, Oshawa has

an integrated transit network that

includes Highways 401 and 407,

Durham Transit, GO Transit, VIA Rail,

airport and harbour.

University Studios is a new

concept to condominium living in

Oshawa, ideal for students seeking

high quality residential space during

their education at Durham College

or UOIT. It is a prime real estate

investment opportunity. With three

years of rental assurance, University

Studios represents carefree and

hands-o� real estate property as an

income generating asset with positive

cash fl ow.

University Studios will o� er

innovatively designed, fully-furnished

“SmartStudios.” Each studio will feature

a custom furniture package including a

custom “TableBed,” which transforms

from a generous dining table into a

comfortable bed; kitchenette with high

quality appliances; and en-suite private

bathroom.

The project also features full

amenities, including a gym, party

room and outdoor barbecue

area, ideal for social living and

engagement. Each fl oor has a

common room, and there will be a

group study room, laundry room and

meeting rooms.

University Studios is being co-

developed by Building Capital and

Podium Developments, and is

managed by Varsity Properties, part of

the same team behind the successful

University Suites, which recently

launched on the campus of Queen’s

University in Kingston, Ontario.

University Studios and this rare

opportunity for condominium

THE PROFESSIONALS at Diam

buying your fi rst home can seem like

an unattainable dream. That’s why

the company created the “Easy Own

addition to suites that start from just

the mid-$200s in this phenomenal

location at Danforth Avenue and Oak

cent, fi ve-year, fi xed-rate mortgage

amortized over 25 years, you could

own from as low as only $499

biweekly for principal and interest!

(Some conditions apply; see a sales

representative for full details.) Just

imagine – an a� ordable way to enter

Toronto’s homeownership market.

The opportunity is incredible!

neighbourhood at your doorstep. You will also have a

boutique-inspired lobby that will set an inviting tone for

your guests, plus a multi-purpose room with a kitchen

storage and more right in the building. Adding to the value,

standard features and fi nishes including 9-ft. ceilings (10-

ft. in penthouses), laminate fl ooring, plus fi ve appliances

and quartz countertops in the kitchen.

Budgeting for holiday shoppingBy Gail Vaz-Oxlade

Advice | MONEY MATTERS

THE HOLIDAYS ARE just around the

corner, and only the most savvy of us

have everything under control. That’s

one of the problems with our very

busy lives… there’s just no time. But

if you want to have a happy holiday

that doesn’t leave you holding your

aching head when the bills roll in come

January, you have to start planning

early. The longer you wait, the more

likely you are to give in to stress, make

impulse purchases, blow your budget

or even buy a lame gift.

Look at your holiday spending as you

would any other big-ticket item. While

you’re splitting the cost among a variety

of expenses, the bottom line is still the

same — you’re spending a lot of money

in a short period of time.

In the best of all worlds, you would

have started saving for your holiday

spending in January. Yup, you would

have made it a budget item and set

aside $10, $50, $150 a month so when

the season rolled ’round, you’d be

ready. After all, it’s way easier to

set aside $100 a month than to come

up with $1,200 all at once.

This is how I do it, and come August

I start keeping my eyes open for “deals”

on things I know my friends and family

will love.

Failing that, start here, with Gail’s holiday spending plan

» Write down the amount you want

to spend in each category of

holiday expenses. Gifts are only

the beginning — don’t forget to

account for travel costs, postage

and shipping, decorating, greeting

cards, entertainment and photos.

» List the people you plan to shop for

under the gift category, then divide

up your budget accordingly. Limit

your budget to what you can a� ord

right now and avoid a fi nancial

hangover in the new year. If you

spend $500 on a credit card at

18 per cent interest, and pay the

minimum each month, it’ll take

you seven years – and cost $365

in interest – to pay it o� . Consider

setting a dollar limit on gifts or

drawing names among extended

family, roommates or co-workers.

A dash of planning and a dab of creativity can also help you keep your entertainment costs under control

» Invite guests to bring something

to share at a potluck dinner.

» Serve brunch, throw a fi nger-food

party or host a wine and cheese

tasting instead of a full-blown

turkey dinner.

» Co-host a party with a pal or

sibling, and share the cost.

» Make sure you set a dollar limit

for your soirée. And list the items,

ingredients and décor you’ll

need and how much each

will cost.

» Remember, that the best gifts

don’t have to cost money. If you’re

fi nancially challenged this year,

o� er up your time babysitting,

cooking meals, house cleaning,

massaging, sewing, knitting,

transporting, or whatever else

you’re good at. Clip a picture of the

service you’ll provide and be clear

on how often, as in “I’ll babysit one

weekend a month from February

to June.” Or better yet, make your

own coupon book.

There now, you don’t have to worry

about starting the new year with a
