Property Profile | CAMERON

IT’S A NEIGHBOURHOOD that never fails

to intrigue me. Located just minutes

from the bustling, sophisticated shops

of Lougheed Town Centre as well as the

easy connectivity of the SkyTrain and

soon to be complete Evergreen Line, the

northeast corner of Burnaby has a natural

charm that feels like a little piece of rural

tranquility in the heart of the city. The air

is fresh here thanks to old growth trees,

and there’s a sense that neighbours are

more than people who live next door —

they’re genuinely friends with each other.

So you can bet I’ve been keeping a close

eye on Cameron, Ledingham McAllister’s

newest lowrise community. Located

adjacent to the trails of Stoney Creek

Park and overlooking the creek itself, this

collection of townhomes and city flats is

set to launch on Saturday, September 19th

and is clearly already turning heads.

Quintessential Burnaby

“As a company, we’ve always had deep

roots in Burnaby,” explains Manuela

Mirecki, Ledingham McAllister’s senior

vice president of marketing and design.

“A lot of us, myself included, were born

and raised here, so we understand how

loyal people are to this neighbourhood.

Many have already told us they’ve just

been waiting for the chance to buy a

new home here, and they aren’t going to

let this opportunity pass them by.”

Welcome Home

“Cameron will offer three distinct home

types,” Manuela says. “In addition to

conventional condos, there will be

ground-oriented, single-level city

homes with direct entry from the

street as well as two-level, stacked

townhomes. The variety means

Cameron will become a very diverse,

to experience salmon spawning season

right in their backyard.”

Plus there’s Cameron’s outdoor spaces

— terraced gardens clustered around the

lush, central courtyard and, of course,

the private four-season balconies or

patios I’ve long associated with a LedMac

home. After all, here on the West Coast,

we love our outdoor living.

Cameron’s Presentation Centre hours

are from noon to 6 p.m. daily except

Fridays at 150A – 3355 North Road in

Burnaby. Prices start at $339,900. For

more information, visit ledmac.com/

cameron or call 778.379.2191.

multi-generational community — which

is good for everyone.”

Inside, kitchens are sophisticated and

open with plenty of storage for your

favourite culinary gadgets and gizmos

— think gourmet dinners for friends and

season celebrations with your entire

family. Massive windows ensure each

home will be filled with sunlight, and all

homes will boast dramatic, nine-foot

living room ceilings. I’m also delighted to

find some one-bedroom plans featuring

an oh-so-intelligent design feature I

seldom find — a cheater ensuite that

leaves more space for rooms where I

spend time during the day.

Oh, and here’s a cool extra. Some

bedrooms even have the window-

box seating I’ve always believed is the

perfect place to curl up with a latté and

a good book — of course, that’s when

I’m not kicking back in a chaise lounge

on the balcony.

Natural Setting

Manuela says she’s particularly

delighted by the way Cameron has

been designed so most homes have

views of either the creek or the trees.

“Stoney Creek is a fully functional

salmon bearing stream — meaning

people who live here may actually get


Property Profile | MADISON & DAWSON

GET READY BURNABY. Something exciting is coming

to the Brentwood neighbourhood. Here’s a hint: if

you’re in the market for a brand new condominium

home with all the contemporary features you

crave and an ambiance that’s more intimate than a

highrise, be sure to mark September 26th on your

calendar. Why? Because that’s when Madison &

Dawson will celebrate its grand opening.

This engaging collection of residences is brought

to you by Porte and offers a broad selection of

floorplans ranging from one- to three-bedroom. “It’s

virtually unheard of to find a three-bedroom condo

home in this area,” says Jeanette Chaput, Porte’s

director of marketing and sales. “Plus, this is the only

new lowrise in the Brentwood neighbourhood.”

Amenities to Dazzle

Jeanette adds that amenities are yet another reason

Madison & Dawson will stand out from the crowd.

“In addition to a guest suite, social lounge, gym and

central courtyard, Porte will build a huge park that

will be half private just for the owners here to enjoy.”

Of course, each suite will be a work of art as well.

“No matter what size home you buy, you’ll have full-

sized appliances including a gas range. It’s simple really

– we just believe full-sized appliances are

something everyone deserves.”

Porte also understands that here on

the West Coast outdoor living is part

of the lifestyle. “Balconies are all much

larger than typical — many will be up to

400 square feet,” she explains. “And they

all include a hookup for a gas barbeque

so you’ll never get caught without fuel

half way through cooking.” Brilliant.

Experience for Yourself--

The Madison & Dawson presentation

centre opens on September 26th and

will be located at 4349 Dawson Street

in Burnaby — half way between the

Brentwood and Gilmore SkyTrain stations

and just a short stroll to Brentwood Mall.

Priced from $298,900. Be sure to register

early so you’re on the list to get more

information as it’s released.

GREATER VANCOUVER is one of the

most beautiful places in the world.

To complement Mother Nature’s

contribution of mountains, ocean and

greenery, many municipalities have

adopted policies that require new home

developments to include public art

contributions.

In Vancouver in 1990, the Public Art

Program was designed to bring artist

contributions to the public realm. Today,

rezoning policies require developers to

either install public art pieces onsite at

their new developments or to provide a

monetary contribution to the program.

As stated by the City, the 5 main goals of

the program are:

We encourage you to take a public art

tour in your neighbourhood. To guide

you, the City of Vancouver provides an

online public art registry (in April 2015,

Burnaby announced that they would also

launch their own registry soon):

http://vancouver.ca/parks-recreation-

culture/explore-the-public-art-

registries.aspx

Here are our top 5 condominium community favorites:

1. The Persian Wall by Dale Chihuly

(2008) – at The Residences on Georgia

(downtown)

2. The Birds by Myfanwy MacLeod (2010)

– at The Village on False Creek (SEFC)

3. Substation Pavilion by Cedric Bomford

(2011) – at Meccanica (SEFC)

4. Golden Tree by Douglas Coupland

(2015/2016) – to be installed at MC2

(Marine & Cambie)

5. MAC is also very excited for the arrival

of Amacon’s contribution at Redbrick

in Burnaby. Redbrick’s installation

will feature a piece by award winning

artists, Metz & Chew:

HOUSE (red fox black cat) pays homage

to the history of Edmonds village, recalling

the historic gabled houses of the area.

On the “porch” sits a black cat — directly

across from her is a red fox, as if he just

strolled o¤ the greenway path. They

gaze at each other with curiosity. Within

the sculpture a tree rises through the

open frame, a tree growing through the

memory of a house. The artwork marks

that threshold between the domestic and

the wilds, and is about the places we live

in and the journeys that begin there.

BETTER HURRY IF YOU want to snag a

brand new condo at Verve in Surrey.

“The success of these three buildings

has been amazing,” says Jeanette

Chaput, Porte’s director of marketing

and sales. “We’re down to our last dozen

homes, and our presentation centre

is now located in the final building so

you can really experience the way this

community has come together.”

Even better, since all homes are move-

in ready, you can also figure out exactly

where you’re going to place your furniture,

decide which wall your favourite piece of

art will look best on, or simply pause on

the balcony to get some fresh air.

Exceptional Lifestyle

Kitchens are, naturally, full-sized

everything — fridge, stove, dishwasher,

quartz centre island and floor-to-ceiling

pantry wall… honest, even Verve’s junior

one-bedrooms have a full pantry. How

cool — and convenient — is that?

Keeping fit and entertained is a snap

with Verve’s sophisticated amenities.

Billiards room, gym, yoga studio, lounge

and onsite caretaker — everything you

want for easy living is right here. There’s

even a guest suite because you know

your friends and family are going to want

to come for a visit.

Ready to satisfy your craving for

an afternoon of retail therapy or an

evening dining out? Well, your toughest

decision may be where to start. “Local

shopping just keeps getting better

and better,” Jeanette says. “You’re just

a few blocks from City Centre mall,

SkyTrain is a six-minute walk, plus there

are eateries popping up all along King

George Boulevard.”

And don’t forget, Verve is also close

to schools, the new hospital, as well

as a diverse array of parks — including

two of my personal favourites: Holland

Park and Green Timbers. “You could

say it’s the best of all worlds,” Jeanette

says… which pretty much sums up life

at Verve.

Verve’s presentation centre and display

homes are open noon to 5 p.m. every

day except Friday (closed), located

at 13919 Fraser Highway in Surrey.

Junior one-bedroom, one-bedroom,

and one plus den plans available from

SURREY/LANGLEY

It is time to turn my triplex over to a property manager?

AS A LANDLORD, I’ve often asked myself

if I should hire a property manager.

Managing my triplex comes with a

lot of other questions, too. Is the top

unit leaking into the unit below? Has

someone seen a mouse? Or a bug?? Did

a tenant just give notice that he’s moving

out? Or that he’s getting a third dog??

Am I struggling to interpret a credit

report? Does my tenant want to sublet?

In my 10 years as a DIY landlord, I’ve had good success:

no empty units, no missed rent payments, no evictions, no

significant damage. Yet I know that I’ve made at least two

mistakes: not raising the rent by the annual allowable increase,

and renting one unit at less than market value. I will also admit

that the only reason I didn’t rent to the tenant from hell is

that I found a great tenant by fluke just two days before

declaring the unit officially empty.

Is it time to turn my triplex and tenants over to a property manager?

“We manage properties for owners who don’t have the time

or energy required to learn a brand new business and skill set,”

says Sharon Golberg, president, Dash Property Management,

which has been in business since 2002 and currently manages

about 500 units for landlords who live in Canada and abroad.

“When it goes smoothly, you think that managing your

investment property is the easiest job ever, but if you have a

demanding career, family life or travel a lot, you may not be

as available or as accessible as you need to be.”

Is being a DIY landlord that big a challenge? It can be.

What does turning your asset over to a property manager really

entail? More than you could ever imagine.

Owners’ experiences vary widely and while I’ve had a

relatively hassle-free run to date, I know one landlord whose

margins are slim on some properties while another consistently

shows a loss. Another investor rented a high-end unit to a

stripper with a substance-abuse problem, a crazy boyfriend

and two Rottweiler puppies. She missed five months of rent

payments and completely trashed the newly renovated unit,

while he took her to court. “She seemed so nice. How could

I have been so wrong?” the landlord asked, only to soon sell

that investment property, never to rent another unit.

Ask yourself, “Do you have the financial stability to risk

gross errors with what is arguably your most valuable asset?”

Golberg says.

Advice | INVESTMENT ADVICE

By Kara Kuryllowicz

40 YPNEXTHOME.CA

Rather than relying exclusively on

online search engines to fi nd property

management fi rms, Golberg and Don

Campbell, a Canadian real estate

investor, author and senior analyst at

the Real Estate Investment Network,

suggest you start by asking other

property owners, realtors, lawyers and

accountants for referrals.

Rules, regs and responsibilities

Province to province, regulations

governing a property manager varies, as

do licensing requirements. A property

management license can help ensure

relevant knowledge and skill set, and

may require training updates to keep the

license current. In addition, there should

be best practice codes, trust conditions

for deposits and cash fl ow, as well as

insurance in the event of any issues.

“Many people present themselves

as property managers, with very mixed

results in terms of quality and money

management, so most provinces now

regulate and license that industry,” says

Campbell. “Due diligence is key and it is

critical that investors investigate the fi rm’s

license and any breaches.”

Your property manager may let you

select the tasks you want him/her to

handle with fees that refl ect the scope of

their responsibility, typically a percentage

of the gross income. Both Golberg and Campbell also point

out that simply staying current on the constantly shifting rules,

regulations and management strategies pertaining to rental

properties is demanding.

Services may include advertising for new tenants, showing

the unit, assessing applications, screening tenants, leases,

handling all tenant complaints, collecting and depositing rent

payments, paying all related property bills, move-in and move-

out inspections, hiring and managing repair staff /contractors,

cleaning public areas, increasing

rents, fi ling taxes for non-residents, and providing the owner

with monthly reports to identify issues and trends.

“You are not abdicating responsibility. You

still manage the overall process, however you delegate key

tasks while remaining in control of

the bottom line and setting standards of practice,”

says Campbell.

number of respondents also showed the

NDP in the lead, though with a narrower

margin). Conventionally, the province

is divided between Conservatives and

New Democrats. It’s likely that Harper’s

Conservatives will be focusing some

energy on turning this around over the

next while in their campaign.

Conservatives promise home renovation tax credit

Prime Minister Stephen Harper

has promised to introduce a new,

permanent home renovation tax credit

if he’s re-elected this October. The

plan, which would cost the federal

government about $1.5 billion a year,

would likely be phased in over the

course of the 2016-17 fi scal year,

depending on economic conditions.

The Conservative’s pledge to make the

home renovation tax credit a permanent

The skinny on what’s happening in real estate in the lower mainland

Hot o� the web

fi xture could either make the current

hot housing market all the hotter…or

have no impact whatsoever, according

to experts.

Many are critical of Harper’s

announcement, because they believe

he is providing help to those who don’t

need it: people who already own their

own homes, rather than those who are

struggling to enter the housing market.

Vancouver, Surrey sourcing independent transit funding

With Metro Vancouver’s transit plebiscite

well behind us, Vancouver’s mayors

are still trying to decide who will be

responsible for funding the $7.5-billion

10-year plan that they had in mind for

the future of the region’s transportation.

As it stands, there is no alternative

method to fund the proposed transit

improvements, but some of Metro’s

mayors are considering separate,

independent transit funding for their

cities. Although the outcome of the

plebiscite dictates that the mayors

should not introduce other funding

sources prior to the next municipal

election in 2018, operating costs at

TransLink are on the rise. With labour

agreements due for renewal in 2016

and upgrades to the 30-year-old Expo

SkyTrain line and stations soon to be

necessary, this problem will only be

exacerbated.

Green Acres? Developers sell farm livin’

Community gardens have become

increasingly popular lately, and

developers are paying attention to the

trend. Developments such as Creekside

Mills at Cultus Lake in Chilliwack,

Southlands development in Delta and

High Point Estates in Langley are making

outdoor pursuits such as farming and

horseback riding more accessible to the

average homeowner. Likely, both Eddie

Albert and Eva Gabor of TV’s Green

Acres would be on board with this kind

of farm livin’.

YOUR INVESTMENT CONDO is only useful

to you if you can fi nd tenants to rent it

out and put cash back in your pocket.

Shopping for a condo from the perspective

of a landlord is di� erent than shopping as

a homebuyer. Yes, you have to like it. But

more importantly, renters have to want it.

With an eye toward what will draw the

most quality tenants, here are my top

fi ve most “rentable” qualities to look for:

1. Convenient location.

Renters today more than anything are

concerned about having a location that

is convenient to work, shopping and

pubic transit. Buy near these three, and

you will have a winner.

What renters really want5 things condo investors should look for

2. A ordable price.

Following location, the thing that renters

look at most closely is cost. The lower the

price, the more potential tenants you’ll

attract. Keep in mind that most renters

aren’t looking for spare rooms and fancy

fi nishes. Buy small and buy cheap.

3. Extensive amenities.

While some renters prefer a smaller

building with little or no amenities, most

would choose a building with plenty of

amenities over one without. Topping the

list? A good gym.

4. Flexible fl oor plan.

Floor plans that allow for di� erent uses

of the space – for example a den that

could double as a second bedroom or a

home o� ce – will open up your unit to a

larger pool of potential renters.

5. Window coverings.

This seems like a small thing, but

something that is very important

to tenants. Invest in a good set of

window coverings and your unit will

be more attractive to tenants and will

rent out faster.

BETTER QUALITY BETTER LOCATION BETTER VALUE

I GET A KICK OUT OF READING the

comments section on any article

written about the Canadian highrise

condominium market. A common

statement in many of these articles is

“Why would anyone want to live in a

glass box?” I am willing to wager a guess

that most of the folks making this remark

have never lived in a downtown condo.

Nearly 15 years ago I lived in a

basement apartment and was searching

for a professionally managed rental

apartment building in the suburbs. The

lack of available properties led me to

lease a suite in the middle of the city.

At fi rst I hated it; too much tra c, no

places to park, too busy. However, within

a few months, I started to really enjoy

the access to amenities, how quickly and

cheaply I could move around the city

via public transit, and I began to feed o�

the excitement and energy that a high-

density municipality exudes. A couple

of years later, I bought a loft condo and

have never looked back – maintenance-

free living in the big city is perfect for me.

For my latest Market Manuscript

report (a robust bi-annual analysis of


the Canadian housing market, due for

release this month), I conducted a survey

of Canadian residential developers and

builders, asking them: What is the biggest

factor infl uencing urban condominium

activity in Canada? Forty-four per cent of

respondents mentioned a� ordability and

36 per cent said proximity to amenities

like employment and entertainment.

There are probably a lot of people living

in “glass boxes” because it is the only

housing type they can a� ord, but I bet

a lot of them were like me, and enjoyed

the highrise experience more than they

thought they would. I agree with the

developers I surveyed; people are putting

a premium on their time, and they don’t

want to spend it stuck in tra c – they

want to be very close to amenities.

Additionally, they don’t want the huge

expense of a car, which is a must when

you are not close to anything.

Who wants to live in a glass box? An

increasing number of people according to

the CMHC data. In the Calgary CMA, over

27,000 condominium apartments have

been built since 2005, 63 per cent more

than the previous 10 years. In Vancouver,

84,000 condos completed since 2005,

62 per cent more than the 1995 to 2004

period. In the Toronto CMA, over 158,000

condo suites have been occupied since

the beginning of 2005, an increase of 170

per cent from the 10 years prior.

Anyone who spends their Friday night

in downtown Vancouver, Montreal or

Toronto, (especially single people), can

appreciate what it’s like to live ‘in the

action’. Buying an a� ordable, modern-

designed condo with quick access to

your job, your friends and all of the

downtown amenities are all the reasons

many young fi rst-time buyers need.

Di� erent strokes for di� erent folks, but

before you throw stones at the Canadian

condo boom, realize that hundreds of

thousands of domestic purchasers are

seeing the benefi ts of urban highrise

living. About time some people started

thinking outside the (glass) box. Happy

condo hunting.

Property Profile | PROXIMITY

HOT ON THE HEELS of a spectacular success

at Opsal, Bastion is poised for a mid-

September release of the long-anticipated

penthouse and terrace homes at Proximity in

Southeast False Creek.

“We’ve taken the very best of the features

people told us they loved most at Opsal, and

then made them even better,” says Alecia

Rossi, Marketing Manager. “These residences

are meticulously designed to maximize living

spaces and contemporary elegance. After all,

why would you compromise on luxury?”

Caesarstone countertops, spa-inspired

ensuites, and massive windows are just the

beginning of Proximity’s long list of attention-

grabbing finishing details. But it’s the terrace

homes’ outdoor spaces that are one of this

release’s most dramatic features. “Think

about how cool it would be to have 800 to

900 square feet of private patio or terrace to

expand your indoor spaces,” Alecia says.

“Plus, there’s a common rooftop deck

with fire pit that will be an amazing place to

socialize with other owners — perhaps with

a glass of wine at the end of the day. And on

the second level podium we’re going to add

an amenity room and outdoor area that will

include community garden plots.”

Close to What Counts

“The building’s name really does speak for itself,”

Alecia stresses. “You can bike or jog along the

Seawall to Granville Island in about 15 minutes,

you’re steps to the AquaBus to downtown

Vancouver, it’s a 20-minute ride via the Canada

Line to YVR, Legacy Liquor store is just around

the corner, and the new rec centre is amazing.”

Want to talk eating out? Well how’s this for

a start? Steel Toad Brew Pub is outside your

front door — literally. Mahoney&Sons, Terra

Breads, and Mario’s Gelato are just a few more

of the eateries in the ’hood. “And we all know

how Chinatown, which is about five minutes

away, is bringing some of the coolest new

restaurants to Vancouver.”

Proximity’s brand new, onsite presentation

center is now open noon to 5 p.m. daily except

Fridays at 1772 Ontario Street in Vancouver.

Prices start at $388,800 with one- and two-

bedroom plans available. For more information,

“So once the final homes are gone,

they’re gone for good.”

home in any world-class metropolis.

Kitchens feature Miele curved-glass

hood fan, Eggersman cabinetry, quartz

counters, and integrate fridge to

preserve the uncluttered, modernist

aesthetic that’s heaven for people who

consider culinary experimentation an

adventure to be savoured.

Then there’s the attention to details

you might not notice at first — metallic

waterproofing on all under-sink shelving,

full-sized Blomberg washer/dryer, and

soft-close everything. Best of all, you

can enjoy it all from every room or from

a spacious, covered balcony — which

is where you’d likely find me enjoying

sunsets and the company of good

friends all year round.

Live life well

And just in case all this isn’t enough,

Tate Downtown also takes amenities

to a new level. State-of-the-art fitness

studio, 24-hour concierge, billiards room,

multi-media theatre, and fully connected

conference/meeting room facilities are just

some of the extras homeowners will enjoy.

And for people who celebrate the

car-free lifestyle or simply prefer to keep

their options open, Tate Downtown offers

secure bicycle storage and a car share drop

point right in the building’s parkade.

Tate Downtown’s presentation centre

is open noon to 5 p.m. daily except

Fridays on the southeast corner of

Howe Street and Beach Avenue in

Vancouver. For more information visit

Homes at River District are just a nine-minute

drive away from new homes at Marine and

Cambie and they are $150,000+ less.

That’s enough savings to buy a brand new

Tesla or two Smart cars, have money left

over, and have a more comfortable commute.

NORTH SHORE/SQUAMISH/WHISTLER

DOWNTOWN HIGHRISE, masterplanned lowrise

community in the burbs, or midrise suites

somewhere in between — either geographically or

vertically — when it comes to savouring the condo

lifestyle, expectations and products are as varied as

the people who call them home.

This issue, New Condo Guide chats with

Charmaine Betcher, president of Quest

Marketing, about some of the di� erences

between the three condo fl avours and

how to fi nd your perfect height.

Q: In basic terms, what defi nes a low,

medium or highrise property?

A: While there’s no actual hard and fast defi nition,

usually anything four storeys or less is considered a

lowrise, fi ve to 12 storeys is a midrise, and once you

go over 12 storeys, it’s a highrise.

Q: Other than height, are there other

structural di� erences?

A: Lowrise developments are almost always

wood frame construction, highrise towers

are, by regulation, concrete. Recent changes

to the building code, however, have created

some overlap in the defi nition of what

constitutes a midrise since six-storey

wood frame construction is now legal

and gaining popularity.

Q: What are some of the main pros and

cons of wood frame versus concrete?

A: Wood frame is always less expensive to build

than concrete — usually about $100/square foot

less expensive — so they’re appealing to price

conscious, fi rst time buyers.

Concrete construction is still considered

to o� er better soundproofi ng and buyers can

anticipate less long-term maintenance costs.

Q: Since lower heights usually equates to fewer

units, what’s the impact on strata fees?

A: That’s a bit of a trade-o� . Highrise towers are able

to tap into economies of scale to provide high-cost

amenities like rooftop gardens and decks, pools,

lounges with catering kitchens, even multi-media

rooms. Because the expenses are shared by a large

number of owners, they aren’t prohibitively expensive

like they would be in a 20-unit three-storey.

But high- and midrise towers have additional

costs that may not be immediately obvious.

Elevators, for example, are a huge expense that

never goes away —having the three or four

elevators necessary to service a 30-storey tower

versus one for a three-storey building can easily

outweigh any potential savings.

Q: Are security issues another trade-o� ?

A: Yes. A 200-unit highrise is more likely to o� er

the peace of mind of a concierge or onsite manger

— possibly both — than a 20-unit lowrise. New

developments also usually incorporate high tech

security features like entry fobs rather than keys.

On the fl ip side, in a smaller property owners

typically get to know who their neighbours are.

There’s a greater sense of community meaning the

building can be ‘self securing’ — people are less

likely to let someone through the front door unless

they’re really sure that person live there.

Concrete highrises in urban centres like

downtown Vancouver also frequently have a higher

ratio of investor owners meaning people are moving

in and out more frequently. Keys and fobs change

hands more often, so there’s more opportunity for

illegal duplication or simply getting lost.

Q: What about amenities?

A: Providing bare bone amenities is one way

developers have kept costs and strata fees down

in smaller projects. For young professional or

fi rst time buyers, that can mean the di� erence

between renting and owning — especially in an

urban centre like downtown Vancouver where you

just step outside your front door and have access

to restaurants, rec centres, and a ton of other

amenities. Spending $500 a month on strata fees

simply doesn’t make sense.

For downsizers who might be considering a

location like Metrotown or South Surrey, cost

isn’t as much of an issue. They want — and more

importantly are both willing and able to pay for —

ABOVE

The Sapperton at Brewery District o ers outstanding access to SkyTrain, cycle routes, and a diverse array of restaurants and shopping.

Wave’s curved façades and expansive interiors are part of the allure of this Surrey tower by Rize Alliance.

OPPOSITE

Muse o ers a playful architecture and contemporary interiors.

amenities like a spa, clubhouse and lounge with

kitchen and terrace where they can entertain larger

groups of guests.

But whether it’s highrise, lowrise or midrise, a

good gym is one of today’s most popular amenities.

It’s no longer enough to have a couple of treadmills

in a small room. Buyers want state-of-the-art

equipment and they want it at home — they aren’t

willing to drive even three or four minutes to a gym.

Charmaine is the founder and president of

Quest Marketing. Information available at
