Property Profile | PARK&METRO TOWNHOMES
AFTER WOWING HOMEBUYERS with stylish, forward-
thinking condominium homes, Park&Metro is
about to release 24 highly anticipated townhome
residences. And like their predecessors, these
homes are going to shake up the way homebuyers
think about the Cambie Corridor.
Located just a few blocks from the burgeoning
amenities of Marine Gateway, there’s a totally
different feel to the neighbourhood where
Park&Metro is just beginning construction — a quiet,
residential enclave that’s truly one of Vancouver’s
hidden gems. “Very few people are aware what a
significant difference there is in ambiance when
you’re only a block off arterials like Cambie Street
or Marine Drive,” says Nic Paolella, Marcon’s
development manager. “Streets are lined with
flowering cherry trees, you’re steps to
parks, and because there’s very little
vehicle traffic, it’s safer for walking
or cycling.”
Sales manager Celia Chiu adds that
the Westside address resonates with
buyers who want prestige plus excellent
access to quality schools for their children
including Sir Winston Churchill Secondary
School, a public secondary school that’s
one of Vancouver’s two International
Baccalaureate schools, and one of
only three offering a French Immersion
program. Plus there’s easy transit access
to UBC, Langara College, and SFU’s
downtown Vancouver campus.

Neighbourhood with Character“People love the fact we’re bringing back the red brick
architecture that’s always been popular in this residential
neighbourhood,” Celia says, pointing to dramatic vertical
accents and gated individual entries. Even more intriguing
is the visual interplay created by horizontal metallic accents
and glass inserts in each front door. You could say it’s a
perfect blending of tradition and contemporary minimalism—
or you could just make it easy on yourself and say these
homes look great.
Inside too, Park&Metro’s townhomes are designed with the
exceptional attention to detail I’ve come to expect from this
experienced, local developer. Kitchens feature solid-slab, easy
to clean backsplashes. Cabinetry is a contemporary high-gloss
finish with integrated wall ovens, fridges, and dishwashers
as well as a personal favourite — two built-in USB/charging
stations for your iPhone, iPad, and laptop.
There’s storage too — lots of storage, including a full-height
pantry. Result? A clean, modernist look with plenty of space to
satisfy the most passionate home chef. Plus there’s the comfort
of air conditioning in every home.
“And of course, Park&Metro continues the Marcon tradition
of designing master bedrooms that feel truly grand — lots of
room for a king-sized bed plus night tables,” Celia says. Plus
there’s a luxurious ensuite featuring extra-deep soaker tub,
glass shower with both hand-held and rainfall shower heads,
as well as dual sinks, walk-in closet, and floor-to-ceiling tile
feature walls.
Oh and here’s another cool standard, one I haven’t seen
before. Every Park&Metro home includes a wall safe in
the master bedroom closet — meaning you’ve finally got
somewhere secure for your passport, jewelry and other
valuables. Brilliant.
Want yet another enticement? The property’s existing
boulevard will be transformed into a public park as part of the
enhancements the City of Vancouver is implementing as part
of the new Marpole community plan.
Park&Metro will be located at West 64th Avenue and
Columbia Street in Vancouver. Presentation centre open
noon to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 688 Southwest Marine.
Townhomes now selling: condominium homes ranging from
one- to three-bedrooms also available. For more information,
visit marcon.ca/parkandmetro or call 604.325.8111.
People love the fact we’re bringing back the red brick architecture that’s always been popular in this residential neighbourhood. –Celia Chiu

South CambieA neighbourhood on the rise
YOU PROBABLY REMEMBER that trying
to get around South Cambie during
the Canada Line construction was an
exercise in frustration. You might have
even shunned shopping or dining in
the neighbourhood. You can toss all
and any excuses to the wind once
you’ve ventured into this burgeoning
neighourhood that offers a plethora of
great dining, shopping and activities for
all ages.
South Cambie might be one of the
smallest of Vancouver’s neighbourhoods
but it’s got a lot of panache! This former
sleepy enclave burst onto the scene
as a cultural melting pot waiting to be
discovered. It’s home to a variety of
upscale, bohemian and chic boutiques,
bakeries, bars and restaurants.
You’ll also find lovingly restored
“Vancouver Specials” co-habiting with
million dollar contemporary homes. This
enclave will soon be home to condos,
townhomes and apartments as the city
has rezoned parts of South Cambie
allowing for high-density development.
Over 1,000 units are in the works up and
down Cambie from 16th to 41st Avenues
along the Canada Line.
Also worth discovering are the the
neighbourhood Crown Jewels: Queen
Elizabeth Park and Nat Bailey Stadium.
South Cambie is also renowned for its
top-notch hospitals, great educational
institutions, the posh Oakridge Shopping
Centre, and let’s not forget the great
ethnic eateries, funky watering holes and
distinctive boutique shops.
It’s all about location. A central city
neighbourhood attracts a certain type
of person: One who embraces cycling
or taking transit to work; someone who
likes to walk out to enjoy the restaurants
and shops — and that someone typically
has a healthy income. South Cambie
residents are now affluent upper mobile
young professionals and families, as well
as empty nesters with deep pockets.

Neighbourhood Profile | SOUTH CAMBIE
18 YPNEXTHOME.CA
With all the changes in this corridor,
living here isn’t cheap. An older, tear-
down will put you back $1.5 million
and a new home will cost upwards of
$2 million. However, once a number of
condo projects are built, it will make
living here more aff ordable!
For Bill, a 51-year-old married painting
contractor with two young daughters,
the proximity to both downtown
Vancouver and eclectic Main Street was
a real draw.
“We got insight living in Vancouver of
how great it is to live centrally. And this
is the fi rst neighbourhood outside of
downtown where we really felt at home,”
adds Bill.

BATHROOM SPACES are often small and
people tend to think they need to be
decorated like most other rooms – when
they just don’t! Bathrooms often speak
for themselves with beautiful tile work,
finishes and fixtures. Don’t cover that
beauty up with artificial flowers and fuzzy
rugs! I wanted to have fun with this, and
so many comical thoughts came to my
mind while writing. You’ll notice that this
time I decided to focus on the Don’ts
instead of the Dos – enjoy!
By Yanic Simard
DECORATING DON’TsIN THE BATHROOM
DON’T decorate your toilet
I cannot believe that seat, lid and bowl
covers are still on the market.
DON’T use coloured toilets or tubs
Remember when pink toilets were in?
Well, rest assured knowing that will
never come back.
DON’T even think about installing carpet
Carpet is not easy to clean, meaning it’s
not hygienic and that it’s just gross!
DON’T display your toilet paper
Just because it’s in a cute basket
doesn’t make this a cute idea.
DON’T keep your toilet cleaning
brush by the toilet
Everything has its place, and when
it comes to cleaning supplies it’s in
the closet.
DON’T make the focal point your
shower curtain

If you can switch out the curtain for a
clean sheet of glass, that would be my
fi rst option. If not, something white
with a subtle texture or pattern that
seems to disappear would be second.
DON’T mix and match your towels
This just looks messy.
DON’T try and match whites
It’s best to get your tub and toilet at the
same time from the same place and the
same manufacturer to be sure they each
are in the same shade of white. If one is
even a little off from the other, one will
look more yellowish (translating into
looking old and dirty).
DON’T position your toilet in the sight line
If you’re starting from scratch, never
have your toilet be the fi rst thing you see
when you walk in. Lay out the room so
you see anything else fi rst (such as the
vanity or shower).
DON’T have sconces as your main
source of lighting
Always try and have overhead lighting
such as pot lights, a fl ush-mount or
pendant because for getting ready
(applying make-up or shaving) this alone
will not do a good enough job.
DON’T exhibit your toothbrushes
Keep these in your vanity where they
belong – no one wants to see the pieces
of broccoli left over from dinner last night.
DON’T mix fi xture fi nishes
Keep the look consistent with one fi nish
– polished chrome being my favourite
and a classic.
After going through the full list of don’t’s,
maybe if you do them all – you’ll have
the perfect bathroom space!

Understanding mortgagedefault insurance.By Alisa Aragon
Advice | MIND OVER MORTGAGE
Alisa Aragon is a Mortgage Expert who develops short & long term strategies that are customized for each client. Her strategies include the best mortgage with the most favourable terms and rates
to suit your needs. DLC Mountain View. www.YMSG.ca or aaragon@dominionlending.ca
MORTGAGE DEFAULT INSURANCE IS
COMMONLY REFERRED TO AS MORTGAGE
INSURANCE. It is often mistaken for
homeowner/property insurance or
mortgage life insurance. Homeowner/
property insurance protects the
individual’s home and possessions in the
home against damages including loss,
theft, fi re or other unforeseen disasters.
Mortgage life insurance is designed to
repay any outstanding mortgage debt in
the event of homeowner death or long-
term disability.
The mortgage default insurance
increases the opportunities for
homeownership with a low down
payment, as saving for a 20 per cent down
payment can be di� cult in today’s housing
market. There are two types of mortgage
options; conventional mortgages, which
are loans with a minimum 20 per cent
down payment, and high-ratio mortgages,
which are loans with less than 20 per cent
down payment.
In Canada, mortgage insurance
is required by the Government of
Canada on all high-ratio mortgages.
The insurance protects the mortgage
lender only against a loss caused by
non-payment of the mortgage by the
borrower and it is not a protection
for the homeowner. However, the
mortgage insurance enables borrowers
to purchase a home with a minimum
down payment of fi ve per cent.
Mortgage default insurance is provided
by insurers such as Canada Mortgage
and Housing Corporation (CMHC),
Genworth Financial Canada and Canada
Guaranty. Each mortgage insurer has its own criteria for evaluating the
borrower and the property, and it decides whether or not a mortgage
can be insured. The lender and not the borrower selects the mortgage
insurer. It is possible that the mortgage application can be approved
by the lender but might not be approved by the insurer.
The mortgage default insurance premium is a one-time charge
and it is paid by the borrower to the lender. The premium can be paid
in a single lump sum at the time of closing or it can be added to the
mortgage amount and repaid over the amortization period (or the
life of the mortgage). The cost of default insurance is calculated by
multiplying the amount of the funds that are being borrowed by the
default insurance premium, which typically varies between 0.5 per
cent and 6.0 per cent. Premiums vary depending on the amortization
period of the mortgage, the loan to value ratio, the size of the down
payment and the product.
Example of a premium calculation for a home purchase:
Property value: $400,000
Down payment: 5% or $20,000
Mortgage basic Loan amount: $400,000 - $20,000 = $380,000
Amortization period: 25 years
Loan to value ratio: 95%
Premium amount: $380,000 x 3.60%
Default insurance cost: $13,680
Total mortgage amount: $393,680
* The cost of default insurance is subject to change if the purchase price or appraised value, the amount of down payment or the amortization changes. The fi nal premium and the cost of the mortgage default insurance will be disclosed in the mortgage commitment document from the lender.
It is important to note that for insured mortgage loans the
maximum purchase price or as-improved property value must be
below $1,000,000. The borrowers can port the mortgage loan
insurance from an existing home to a new home and may be able to
save money by reducing or eliminating the premium on the fi nancing
of the new home.
Since there are di� erent products available from individual lenders
and are subject to lender’s guidelines, it is important to talk to a
Mortgage Expert to analyze your situation, present several options and
help you decide which product works best for you.

BURNABY/NEW WESTMINSTER
JENNIFER MARDINI RECENTLY welcomed her fi rst baby – son
Carter – into her life and into her home. Here’s her experience.
New Home Guide: This is your fi rst child and your fi rst home.
What changes did you make to your home to welcome Carter?
Mardini: My husband Jairo and I bought our fi rst home in
March 2014. It has three bedrooms, so we knew eventually one
of the rooms would become the baby’s once we were ready.
Other than a bedroom for our new bundle of joy, we made
some space in one of our living rooms to fi t his playpen, which
also serves as a bassinet and change table.
NHG: Did you know you were having a boy, and how did you
plan, design and decorate the baby room accordingly?
Mardini: Yes, we knew we were having a boy – I couldn’t
not know the sex of my fi rst child. I’m a planner; I need to be
organized.
Carter’s room was our extra “closet” before he was born, so
we had to move everything out once we started working on his
room. When we fi rst moved in, we painted the entire house –
all the bedrooms were painted grey. So I knew I wanted to use
grey as the starting point, with lots of white. I also wanted to

add an accent chevron wall and then add
blue and green accents.
NHG: What is the theme of Carter’s
room — neutral or more boyish with
sports, cars and trucks?
Mardini: It’s very modern and
contemporary – lots of grey and white,
accented with navy and some light
blues and greens here and there. Lots
of patterns, too – I’m not the colourful,
safari jungle type.
NHG: Describe the little guy’s room —
space, layout and furnishings.
Mardini: Carter’s room is about 100 sq.
ft. and is furnished with a white bedroom
set, including a crib that converts into
a double bed, a six-drawer dresser
and a change table. It also has a full
closet, a navy and white area rug, grey
chevron curtains and a grey and white
glider chair for me.
NHG: Now that Carter’s with you,
anything you wish you had done
di� erently in preparing his room?
Mardini: Carter’s only a month and a
half old, so outside of eating, sleeping
and pooping, there’s not a whole lot
that he needs other than our attention.
We don’t use his room too much right
now because he sleeps in the master
with mommy.
NHG: What other adjustments did
you make in your home for Carter’s
comfort and safety?
Mardini: Nothing really. We did receive
a baby video monitor as a shower gift
– we use it when he’s napping. Once
he starts crawling around, we’ll
defi nitely have to reorganize and
remove
some things.
NHG: What advice would you have for
other fi rst-time parents when it comes
to preparing their home for baby?
Mardini: De-clutter! From the garage
to the basement, bathrooms and
bedrooms. We de-cluttered the entire
house of things we didn’t need or use
anymore. It’s amazing how quickly junk
adds up. And start early – even if it’s a
slow start. There’s always something
to do, so for me, the earlier the better.
Start with the basics and go from
there. Try to do something every day
so it doesn’t feel like you’re cramming
everything in at once.
NHG: How is he settling in?
Mardini: Quite nicely – I think it’s
mom and dad who have had to
do the settling in.
NHG: How is mom doing?
Mardini: I’m doing great overall! Tired,
but we all knew that. Adjusting, of
course, and getting used to a whole
new routine. I love being a mom –
Carter’s mom!

NEUTRALS ARE GIVEN a bad wrap sometimes – bland and boring,
stale and sterile. But when utilized successfully, neutrals can be
soothing, serene and sophisticated.
To keep a neutral palette dynamic and exciting, here are my top
design strategies:
1. GO GRAPHICIn my recently completed laundry room, I really wanted to achieve
something serene – but not boring – so I chose to utilize a
graphic treatment on my fl oor. In this space I wanted to remain
really practical with my budget, so I needed to use a material with

THE NEWhow to keep neutrals dynamic and exciting

minimal cuts and at a reasonable price point. I chose to use
simple 12-by-24-inch tile, from Creekside Tile Company, in
three neutral shades (black, medium grey and a light grey) and
lay the tiles in a herringbone pattern on my fl oor. This principle
could also be applied in a graphic area rug or wall art – think
repetitive shapes and contrasting shades for a graphic focal
point in your space.
2. USE PATTERNPattern is a really essential way to create visual interest when
using a neutral colour palette. For my backsplash, I wanted it
to read white, but still wanted it to be bold and have lots of
presence. To achieve this, I used a 4-by-16-inch matte white
tile and repeated the herringbone pattern I utilized on my
fl oor. To ensure the pattern stood out but didn’t compete with
my fl oors, I chose a light grey grout so the pattern was still
obvious, but not over powering. Consider incorporating pattern
in textiles like throw pillows or upholstery, and do not be afraid
to layer pattern. The key to keeping it looking polished and not
too chaotic is to ensure the scale of each pattern employed
is di� erent than its neighbour. Vary the use of large graphic
patterns, smaller organic patterns and tight repetitive patterns.
I argue that pattern is one of the most important design
principles – whether using neutrals or not. They always bring
life and style to a space.
3. ENSURE THERE IS CONTRASTUtilizing the design principle of contrast is another way to
ensure a neutral space doesn’t feel boring. In my laundry room,
I knew would have to break up the amount of cabinetry I have
with some kind of visual contrast, as all of my cabinets from
Cutler Modern Living are similar in tone to my fl oor tiles. I
chose to use white in my counters, my Whirlpool appliance set,
and backsplash to provide lots of visual contrast to the greys in
my cabinets and fl oors.
Another way think about this approach is my 70-25-5 per
cent colour rule, where 70 per cent of the space is done in one
colour (in my case grey), 25 per cent is in a secondary colour
(white counters and backsplash in my laundry room) and 5 per
cent of a surprise pop of colour (I chose yellow). This colour
formula is a tried-and-tested way to achieve a harmonious
look to the space. Using enough contrast in the space keeps it
from feeling visually boring.
4. GIVE IT A SMALL POP Adding a little bit of colour will absolutely ensure the space
doesn’t feel fl at. The wonderful thing about an all over neutral
palette is that you can add basically any colour to the space
and it will stand out. Repeat this pop of colour at least three
times in di� erent applications – in my case we used yellow in a
textile in this pillow from Bouclair, in the tulips and with some
of the Lemon Aide cleaning supplies I left out as their yellow
packaging was too pretty to hide. Think about incorporating
a soft textile, a piece of wall art and a shiny or refl ective
accessory in similar shades of a surprise colour to add another
visual layer to a neutral palette.
5. VARY YOUR TEXTURESWhen working with a neutral colour palette keep it fun
and interesting by ensuring you vary your textures. For
example, in a living room think about utilizing fl u� y pillows,
soft throws, textured woods and sleek ceramics. The mix of
textures, even if all in neutral tones, will provide enough variety
for the eye to keep the space from feeling fl at. In my laundry
room, I varied live edge woods, textured melamine, glossy
appliances and matte surfaces like my tiles and my black matte
Brizo faucet to ensure visual variety.

IT’S JUST 24 HOURS TILL CLAUDIA AND
JOEY MOVE INTO THEIR NEW HOME
at Guildford the Great in Surrey. And
after more than a year of looking, the
couple couldn’t be more excited.
“I’m defi nitely Type A, so I knew
exactly what I wanted,” Claudia says
with a twinkle in her eye. “A single-
family house wasn’t in our budget,
but we knew we didn’t want a condo
either. I registered us for every new
townhouse development in the area
and must have gone into 25 or 30
showhomes — after a while, they all
started looking the same.”
Then one day the couple spotted
a sign for Fleetwood Mac — another
Dawson+Sawyer development that
was almost complete — and all that
changed. “You can tell they’ve put
a lot of thought into the fl oor plans
and I love the coloured front doors,”
Claudia says.
There was just one glitch, the
project was virtually sold out. “Then
Bonnie, the sales manager told us
Guildford the Great was getting
ready to launch, and it was like all the
pieces of the puzzle fell into place,”
Claudia says.
On opening day, Joey and Claudia
immediately fell in love with one of
Guildford the Great’s four-bedroom
fl oorplans. “For now, we’ll use the
downstairs bedroom as a den, but it
will be easy to turn into a guest room
when we need to. It’s even got its
own ensuite so visitors have their own
space — I’ve never seen that before.”
The kitchen was yet another “wow”
factor. “I love baking, so having an
island that has no obstructions like
a sink is going to be fantastic.” She
grins. “We both have really big families,
and here we’ll have enough room for
all of us to be together when we’re
entertaining.
“We’ve been married for fi ve years
now, and this is our anniversary gift to
ourselves,” Claudia says. “We’re both
taking two weeks o� work while we
move which will make it like a vacation
as we start this new chapter of our
lives. Knowing we’ve made a smart
decision and that this is a place we
can live in for a long time feels — well
it feels great.”

WE HEARD MAJOR news about Vancouver’s evolving urban
landscape this week. In the last few months there’s been a
lot of hand-wringing and criticism directed at City Hall for
proposing to demolish the viaducts at Georgia Street and
Dunsmuir Street. Naturally, many people were worried about
tra� c congestion, their commute and the costs associated
with this huge project. Some were unhappy that they didn’t
feel there was enough public input into the decision.
Nevertheless, City Council voted 5-4 to go ahead with the
demolition.
This is a great decision for many reasons! Obviously, those
things are hideous concrete eyesores from a bygone era,
when misguided city planners felt it would be a fantastic
idea to throw a freeway right through the middle of the
city. Fortunately, communities on the East Side organized
a powerful and ultimately successful opposition to this
plan, but not before the viaducts and the Granville Street
Bridge were built with the freeway in mind. As a result, the
surrounding streets were never upgraded to allow the viaducts
to accommodate the amount of tra� c they were built for:
with a capacity to carry up to 1,800 vehicles an hour, they only
actually carry 750, which is less than 10 per cent of tra� c going
into the downtown core.
This leads to the second reason: the Prior/Venables roadway
leading o� the Georgia viaduct is an extremely dangerous
roadway for both bikes and pedestrian tra� c, and the proposal
for combining the Current Expo and Pacifi c Boulevards to
allow for almost the same amount of vehicle tra� c downtown
will be safer, and more e� cient than the current road
confi guration. The small percentage of tra� c that will have
to be re-routed can be accommodated by existing east-west
streets like Hastings and Broadway.
Thirdly, the demolition would add a further three acres of
park land to the existing park proposal that will add to the
creation of an exceptional urban waterfront park. The plans
for this park have been in the works with Concord Pacifi c for
many years, the fi nal proposal is contingent upon what the city
decided to do with the viaducts. Getting rid of the outmoded
and ugly viaducts is also a step forward in the City’s Greenest
City Initiative, as well as the 2040 Transportation Plan, both of
which aim to keep a steady rate of car and truck tra� c into the
downtown core, despite a growing population, via convenient
and e� cient transit, pedestrian and bike access to the city.
The last reason this is a good plan, is that getting rid of
the viaducts will make use of under-utilized land, and create
connectivity between the historical districts of the downtown
core, the Downtown East Side, Chinatown and False Creek.
As the False Creek Flats are continually developing into an
extension of downtown, this park, transit and public space
will connect all those important parts of the city, open up
view corridors, and contribute to Vancouver’s growth while
maintaining its status as one of the world’s most livable cities.
Goodbye viaducts!

AS IF PURCHASING A NEW home isn’t
intense enough, homebuyers (with the
exception of fi rst-timers) also have to
sell their current properties. The fact
is, few homes are ready to go on the
market as-is.
It’s not just a matter of tidiness –
though that’s certainly crucial. It’s about
helping potential buyers to connect
emotionally with your space. That means
making your home welcoming to as
many people as possible, often at the
cost of your own personal taste. This
isn’t easy, but a professional stager can
help. Your Realtor may even have one on
sta . If a stager isn’t in the cards, there
are steps you can take on your own.
First o , de-clutter. Chances are
you’ve got twice as much stu as you
need to show your home to its best
potential. In addition to removing
obvious messes, this includes things
such as extraneous furniture, children’s
toys, knick-knacks and family photos.
This can be emotionally di� cult, but
remember: the goal is to make it easy
for potential buyers to imagine their own
possessions in your space.
Next, fi x unfi nished projects. If buyers
see loose fl oor tiles and cracks in the
wall, they’ll wonder what other issues
are lurking under the surface. Don’t give
them cause to worry.
To make rooms appear larger, replace
pu y, over-sized furniture with sleeker
pieces. In the bedroom, you’re better
o showing a queen-sized bed and two
small bedside tables than a king with
no space to spare. To fi nd the right
pieces, you can beg, borrow and, if
necessary, lease.
Bright paint or outdated wallpaper?
Replace them with neutral wall colours
and add vibrancy with throw pillows and
vases. Splurge on fresh, sweetly scented
fl owers for an open house; they’ll pay
for themselves. Mirrors are a wonderful
tool for fi lling empty walls. And, whatever
the décor in your bathroom, thick white
towels will lend a hotel-like vibe.
For extra curb appeal, give your
front door a fresh coat of paint and
temporarily take your storm door o the
hinges. Invest in two urns; plant them
with pretty, seasonal fl owers. In winter,
cedar branches draped with ribbon are
just as beautiful.
I can guarantee that all this work will
have a huge payo , so keep your eyes
on the prize. After all, in your brand new
home, you can have things exactly the
way you want!

NOVEMBER 14TH is approaching
with much anticipation for Donna
Dalkie, sales manager for Zenterra
Development’s Hyde Park at 28th
Avenue and 156 Street in South Surrey.
That’s the Grand Opening of the
award-winning community and its three
furnished townhomes — including a
master-on-the-main floor plan and
a four-bedroom family home with
impressive backyard patio.
While Dalkie has successfully sold over
half of the 156 homes from a storefront
presentation centre in Grandview
Corners, she’s realistic that some
homebuyers just need to see the final
product in living colour before they buy.
“We’ve had a lot of local interest in our
master-on-the-main homes which offer
double car garages and 2,800 square
feet of living,” says Dalkie. “You can’t
always visualize from a floor plan so I’m
excited for people to walk through the
finished home and experience the layout
— the incredible vaulted ceiling, covered
deck and floor plan that enables a couple
to live on one level yet have the flexibility
of two more bedrooms upstairs and a full
recreation room downstairs.”
With Hyde Park’s original display suite
garnering accolades in this year’s Greater
Vancouver Home Builders’ Association
(GVHBA) Awards, one can only anticipate
an even more impressive sight when its
showhomes open this weekend.
Interior designer Mila Djuras has
created an enticing palette of finishes
to complement the homes’ European
aesthetic. Kitchens featuring quartz
countertops and full slab backsplash
are the showpiece with soft-close
cabinetry in a choice of classic shaker or
contemporary two-tone Italian flat panel,
and stainless steel appliances including
a natural-gas cooktop. Beyond glamour, practicality reigns with built-in recycling
centre, tankless hot water, built-in pantry and under cabinet task lighting.
Three acres of the 10-acre site designated to greenspace
A network of paths bring a sense of discovery to this park like community with its
100-year-old Douglas Fir trees and connects to nearby schools and the Shops at Morgan
Crossing — with over 130 stores, restaurants and services.
Bringing the community together is the 5,550 square-foot Lancaster Club with a host
of amenities including a home theatre, fully-equipped kitchen, lounge, fitness centre and
multipurpose sports court.
Hyde Park’s three-bedroom townhomes are priced from $489,900, four-bedroom
townhomes start at $569,990 and master-on-the-main plans from $735,990 (including GST).
Come tour the three new showhomes opening November 14th at #136 - 2853

Metro Vancouver’s Three-Legged Housing Market
Michael Ferreira at UDIFORGET THE HOUSING BUBBLE, the
naysayers, and prophecies of doom
and gloom. In his annual address to the
Urban Development Institute, Michael
Ferreira, managing principal in Urban
Analytics, was enthusiastic about the
first three quarters of 2015 in Metro
Vancouver’s real estate market — and
for good reason. By the end of the third
quarter (Q3) there had been more than
2,000 more sales than at same point
in 2014 — an impressive 20 per cent
increase over last year and almost two-
thirds higher than the entire year in 2013.
This year, Ferreira’s list of success stories
was longer than the list he provided
in 2014 and included The Ridge at
Bose Farms, Exchange, Verve, The
Independent, Black+Whites and RiverSky
among the highlights.
While he acknowledged there are
numerous factors driving the market,
Ferreira chose to focus on three that
impact the market most strongly: buyers,
land and municipalities.
First Leg: BuyersLocal consumers have been more
active in the past year, especially in the
growing townhouse market. Entry level
buyers, many with help from the “Bank
of Mom&Dad”, as well as empty nesters
looking for the elusive master-on-the-
main product are making their presence
known. There’s also been an increasing
demand for larger units, including
the high-end, luxury condo market
— like Cressey’s Beverley and Ridge
developments — that are aimed squarely
at empty nesters who are willing and
able to spend seven figures on a condo.
Not surprisingly, new immigrant and
offshore buyers, many from Mainland
China, continue to influence Metro
Vancouver’s market. Attracted by the
active, healthy lifestyle and quality
schooling, this demographic has been a
consistent driver in Metro Vancouver’s
market since 2009/2010, but has been
ramping their activity up even more
during the past year.
“Because the Chinese currency is tied
to the US dollar, their eff ective buying
power has increased by 30 per cent,”
Ferreira explained. “One realtor I spoke
to put it into perspective this way: for
the same price as a small condo inside
central three ring roads in Beijing, they
can buy three new condos in Metrotown
— condos that are fi nished and include
parking. Plus they can get a mortgage on
their investment unit — in China they’d
have to pay cash.
Second Leg: LandA ripple of laughter ran through the
room when Ferreira noted one developer
had described recent land sales as
“absolutely bonkers.”
In the increasingly competitive land
purchasing and assembly arena, some
new rules of engagement are emerging,
and Ferreira noted the days when local
developers have had the land market to
themselves are vanishing — especially
in the Inner Metro market. Here again,
the off shore buyer is contributing to this
change. Well-capitalized and increasingly
sophisticated, this demographic brings
patient money — often lots of it — and
is prepared to overpay relative to current
market values in order to establish
a foothold here.
Local developers will now need to
strap on the boxing gloves and get into
the ring with these new players. They
might choose to accept terms they
wouldn’t have considered in the past, or
look further from urban cores, or up the
focus on banking land that does come
available. Either way, Ferreira described
the upward pressure on pricing may well
be creating “the perfect storm” over land
sales in the near future.
Third Leg: MunicipalitiesOf the three legs, Ferreira noted it’s the
municipal end that’s toughest to get a
handle on.
From the industry’s perspective, lack
of fl exibility and blanket policies that
fail to anticipate a project’s unique
conditions or consider current market
conditions and land values are ongoing
sources of frustration. Bureaucratic red
tape and lack of political will when it
comes to the tough decisions about
appropriate forms of alternate housing to
address aff ordability also fi gured high in
frustration factor.
From the municipalities’ side, Ferreira
said he had a sense many staff ers he
spoke with were reserved, even cautious
about how they answered his questions.
“Most indicated the system is simply not
set up to make some of the changes
the industry would like to see made
quickly. However, there was a genuine
desire to work with the industry to
streamline processes, while respecting
public process and the desires of elected
offi cials.”
He also stressed that almost everyone
in the industry expressed appreciation
for the diffi culties city staff ers have in this
balancing act.
And for anyone worried about often
suggested housing bubble, Ferreira’s
research revealed this astonishing
statistic: of the 21,600 concrete
condominiums scheduled to complete
by the end of 2018, a whopping 87
per cent are already sold — suggesting
there’s no need to worry about over-
supply, despite the number of cranes
dotting the urban landscape.
Michael Ferreira is managing principal
of Urban Analytics in Vancouver. More

NEWS FLASH: if you’re looking for a
single-family home that’s spacious,
located in an established residential
neighbourhood, and puts a whole new
spin on the phrase “luxurious elegance,”
then you owe it to yourself to check
out Southbrooke in South Surrey.
Space for LivingLot sizes are nothing short of astonishing
— a minimum of 6,000 square feet and
some as large as 10,000 square feet.
“Families love the idea they can have a
real yard where the kids can play,” says
Susan Vollmer, marketing manager. “And
because these homes are fee simple,
buyers of all generations enjoy the
freedom of being able to live life
on their own terms. It’s no wonder we
have such a great mix of homeowners
from growing families to empty nesters
to downsizers.”
Even better, since all remaining homes
are still pre-construction, it’s a great
opportunity to put your personal stamp
on the place you choose to call home.
Think beyond the traditional choices of
light fixtures, countertops and flooring
— although you’ll certainly have those
as well. At Southbrooke you can decide
to add an outdoor kitchen or fire pit,
a media room, even a wine cellar. “So
really, you’re getting a custom home in a
well-established neighbourhood without
paying the sky-high custom home price
tag,” Susan says.
Experience ExcellenceAnd make no mistake, these homes
aren’t just beautiful, they’re built with
all the attention to detail that Genex
is known for.
Kitchens are poised to accommodate
a passion for serious cooking: massive
centre island with a raised eating bar at
one end, pot drawers everywhere, Jenn-
Air appliances, and space for the entire
family to hang out during the holiday
season or other celebrations.
Living rooms are inviting, with a
fireplace, big bright windows, plus lots
of seating space for when you want to
just relax. Luxuriously appointed ensuites
create private, adult sanctuaries. Add in
Southbrooke’s many, oh-so-intelligent
details like laundry rooms with linen
closet and full mudrooms, and you’ve
got the makings of more than a home—
it’s the makings of a lifestyle.
Southbrooke’s showhome and
presentation centre are open noon
to 5 p.m. daily except Fridays at 10th
Ave. and 165th St. in South Surrey.
