The intent behind the redesign of

our magazines and website was

simple to make fi nding your

next home easier. In fact, youll see

more yellow street boxes and racks

popping up across Canada over

the next 16 months with our new

YPNextHome branding.

As the largest real estate publishing

company in Canada, our goal is to

deliver real estate information in a

new way via compelling news and

insights using data, photos and

expert advice that is informative and

inspirational. If you see something

you like within these pages, theres

even more to explore online.

We encourage you to visit us at

ypnexthome.ca to experience more.

Were the same great group of real

estate experts and weve been hard at

work creating exciting new products

to help you fi nd your next home.

Were planning for a bright future and

looking forward to unearthing whats

next in the world of real estate.

Buying a home is an exciting

experience. Years of saving, months

of planning, weeks of searching

and days of executing a purchase

usually lead to countless hours

of anticipation for newcomers to

the process. For many, however,

it can also mean trepidation.

Relax, though, youre not

alone. Indeed, more and

more homebuyers realize

the importance of preparing for their

new home purchase.

While homeownership a ordability

is holding its own and interest rates

remain low, increasing government-

imposed fees and other factors are

contributing to rising prices in the

new home category. With mortgage

rates to eventually increase, additional

preparation to make smart, wise

homebuying choices is essential.

cover story

Ready, set, Pronto! Ready-built homes are ready when you are

LOSANI HOMES IS SETTING THE

stage for new home buying with

its Pronto Homes on Demand

Program. This ambitious endeavour

has been well received by current

Pronto purchasers, who reap the

overwhelming benefi ts of new

home construction, as well as the

convenience of resale.

With a Losani Pronto Home, you

get to see it, feel it and touch it before

you purchase. A large appeal is that

the price and closing are guaranteed,

which takes the guesswork out

of moving. Purchasers receive an

excellent built-in builder discount, with

many upgrades included in the home

at cost, plus, depending on the stage

of construction, purchasers are able to

personalize their fi nishes. These brand

new, high quality homes are available in 30, 60, 90 or 120 days. Now is

the time to make your move Pronto!

Pronto on Demand is a game-changer in new home purchasing,

says Fred Losani, chief executive o cer of Losani Homes. With

homes nearing completion at purchase, there is no longer any wait

for building permits or the other obstructions or delays buyers of new

homes sometimes experience. The closing date and the price are both

guaranteed, which are always the main concerns when purchasing a

newly constructed home. Losani Homes Pronto on Demand allows

them to touch, feel, experience and walk-through their actual homes

before making their fi nal home-buying decision.

Losani is currently off ering singles, semis, and towns in nine

wonderful communities in seven desirable locations Ancaster,

Beamsville, Binbrook, Collingwood, Hamilton, Kitchener and Stoney

Creek. To highlight Losanis Pronto Homes, the veteran builder has

created a Pronto Portfolio of Homes, which showcases all the homes

available in the Pronto on Demand program. The Portfolio highlights

each home by providing the oor plan, value included price, luxury

features, closing date and much more. Pick-up your copy from any

Losani sales o ce today!

14 YPNEXTHOME.CA

These brand new, high quality homes are available in 30, 60, 90 or 120 days.

Pronto on Demand is the latest

innovative program being offered by

Losani Homes, one of the most trusted

and respected developers in the real

estate industry, which prides itself on

its thinking like a customer approach

to new home purchasing over the

past 40 years. For a limited time only,

Losani would like to offer Pronto home

purchasers an exclusive offer: Purchase

a Pronto Home before Sept. 30 that

has a closing date by Feb. 29, 2016

and receive a Stainless Steel Appliance

Package and a $3,000 Pre-Paid Visa

Gift Card.

Losani Homes is also excited to introduce seven exciting

communities in five sought-after locations set to release this

fall and early 2016. With sophisticated singles on forested lots

in Ancaster, modern towns right by the green edge of the

Hamilton escarpment, singles and towns in the heart of the

Beamsville Bench and by the Grand River in Paris, and much

more, there is something for everyone at one of Losanis

upcoming communities.

Property Profile | CLAYSAM HOMES

QUALITY. INTEGRITY. TRUST. Just

as nationally known and respected

contractor Mike Holmes stands for

these qualities, so does Claysam

Homes which has now been

appointed a Holmes-approved builder

by Holmes himself.

Says Holmes, Ive been a

contractor for over 30 years and I

know what can go wrong when a

home isnt built right. Thats why Ive

teamed up with industry-leading

builders builders who understand

why I build to my standards. Together,

we are going above industry standards

and building homes that dont just

look good, they are good these are

homes built for your future.

Those at Claysam Homes were

excited to be part of this new

partnership. Says Sam Scicluna, CEO

and founder of Claysam Homes, We

have always been confident in the

product and service we provide our

customers, but it was reassuring to

know that someone like Mike Holmes

who stands for quality materials

and craftsmanship wanted to stand

behind our product. We were chosen

by Mike out of the many other

builders in our area as a company he

wanted to support; one who does it

right the first time.

The Holmes Approved

Homes Program will soon be a

standard feature of Claysam-

built conventional homes in

Neighbourhoods of Devonshire

Woodstock, Plattsville Estates and

Elmira Country Club Estates.

Our homes will undergo a series

of Holmes inspections providing our

homeowners with transparent proof

that their home has been built to

be safer, stronger and more durable

thanks to superior construction

practices and a strict adherence to

proper code. They can have peace

of mind knowing their future home

has been built to last and is a smart

investment, says Scicluna.

Homebuyers can expect better

inspections using the latest

technology, the best construction

techniques and practices, and a

better, safer and more durable

home. Each home receives three

inspections through the building

process along with a summary

binder, thermal imaging scan and

joins the ranks as a Mike Holmes-approved builder

Claysam Homes

22 YPNEXTHOME.CA

photo documentation. There are

also four- and six-stage inspection

packages available. All inspections

are completed by an approved Mike

Holmes inspector during key stages

of construction.

Claysam shares the Holmes

belief that things you dont see in a

home are more important than the

things you do, and addressing these

critical details today protects your

investment, saving you time, trouble

and money tomorrow. Holmes

Approved Homes are built to be

healthier homes that protect your

family by creating cleaner and safer

indoor living environments

built with safer products o ering

better mould and moisture-

resistance, fi re resistance and

higher indoor air quality.

Says Holmes, The Holmes

Approved Homes Program is

about integrating the right building

products with the right technology,

using the right building practices

to build you a home that goes

beyond residential standards, from

construction to fi nal inspection.

With almost 30 years of home

building in the tri-city area and more

than 100 proven residential designs,

Claysam Homes o ers the latest

design innovations and open-concept

plans in a variety of elevations.

Claysam encourages insight from

the purchaser in order to craft a

home that is a true re ection of each

familys lifestyle while always boasting

superior workmanship.

Claysams history and the Holmes

Approved Homes Program have

one clear result: increased peace of

mind for homebuyers at all stages of

creation of their new home.

Property Profile | REIDS HERITAGE HOMES

AN ENERGY-PRODUCING HOME?

Seems incredible. Not if youre Reids

Heritage Homes.

It was a few years ago when the

American Association of Architects set

a goal that by 2030, all homes could

be built to produce as much energy

as they consume. Inspired, Ministry of

Natural Resources Canada (NRCan)

partnered with Owens Corning to test

that objective. Not only did they want

to create Net Zero houses, but gear

them to the mainstream public and

the lowrise production builder, using

products that are readily available to

the average builder while maintaining

affordability for the homebuyer.

Reids Heritage Homes is one of

five Canadian home builders selected

to partner in the project and share

$1.9 million in funding from Natural

Resources Canada to construct 25

Net Zero homes Canada-wide, using

off-the-shelf equipment and materials

to build homes that produce at least

as much energy as they consume.

Reids Heritage Homes was one

of the builders chosen for its track

record of building energy-efficient

homes, along with the companys

expertise, drive and motivation to

build leading-edge homes. For almost

20 years, Reids Heritage Homes has

equipped thousands of homes in its

communities across southern

Ontario with Energy Star features

and certifi cation.

Reids Heritage Homes has

now completed its fi rst Net Zero

Discovery Home in Guelph, one of

fi ve underway, and is opening it for

all to see. Not unremarkable on the

outside, it blends in with neighbouring

homes in the agship Westminster

Woods community. If it werent for

the fanfare, you might not realize the

cutting edge technology invested and

the monumental step being taken.

Reids Heritage Homes has had

an overwhelming response to these

homes from the general public. We

have people lined up saying, How

can I get one of these? says Blake

Seeberger, the companys senior vice-

president of residential. He expects

they will take the lessons learned in

building these homes and apply them

to future developments. You need

some kind of a test before you go out

and build a community of 300 homes.

Youve got to be able to understand

how best to build the home and make

it aff ordable to the end user.

Industry eyes are on Reids Heritage

Homes and the other builders as

they illustrate the feasibility that may

also drive prices down on some of

the technologies due to increased

demand. The Discovery Home will

showcase off -the-shelf energy-

saving features, including high-

effi ciency, triple-pane windows, an

air barrier system and thicker walls

with added insulation, solar panels

to generate electricity, a cold climate

air source heat pump instead of a

furnace, and a hybrid heat pump

water heater. Owens Corning has

provided the CodeBord air barrier

system while Jeld-Wen Windows

and Doors, Bluewater Energy,

Mitsubishi Electric Sales Canada Inc.

and Rheem have supplied other off -

the-shelf technologies.

Homes have existed off the grid

for a while, but at considerable

expense and as part of a custom

home which is out of the reach of

most homebuyers. It was important,

however, that this initiative diff er from

past Net Zero homes, which have

been custom-built, one-of-a-kind

designs. This project is geared to the

mainstream public and the lowrise

production builder, using products

that are readily available to the

average builder, says Seeberger.

Reids Heritage Homes invites

the public to visit their Net Zero

Discovery Home located at 197

Goodwin Dr. in Guelph. The grand

opening is Saturday, Sept. 19,

2015. Tours can be scheduled by

appointment. Visit livenetzero.com

for more details.

Construction begins on

Fusion Homes Metalworks

A NEW CRANE WILL SOON BE

dotting downtown Guelphs skyline as

Fusion Homes broke ground recently

on its Metalworks development. A

year after The Metalworks brand

launch, construction has begun on

the fi rst 133 units in a development

that will include more than 600

condominium units and townhomes

when all fi ve phases are complete.

The Metalworks fi rst phase is

70 per cent sold and construction

is expected to be complete in

early 2017. When the fi rst phase is

complete, the Citys tax revenue on

the property will increase 36 times

over its current level.

This is not just for the residents of

The Metalworks, not just for people

in the downtown and the Ward; we

are creating something for the entire

city of Guelph, says Fusion Homes

Chief Executive O cer, Lee Piccoli.

What started as a single vision has

been transformed into something

spectacular through the help of all

our partners, the City of Guelph, and

the Neighbourhood Association. The

Metalworks would not be what it is

today without the hard work and

insights of many di erent people.

I am thrilled to be part of this

milestone for downtown Guelph,

says Mayor Cam Guthrie, who

participated in the groundbreaking.

The Metalworks development

gives new life to an underused

riverfront property in the heart of our

downtown, and it will bring hundreds

of people to live, work, and play here.

The Metalworks is located on the

site of the former W.C. Wood plant,

which operated there from 1956 until

2010. The sites industrial heritage

dates back to the 1830s, when the

land was home to a distillery that was

part of Allans Mill. It later was the

site of a series of hardware and metal

products manufacturers.

Fusion Homes collaborated

with the Ward Residents Association

throughout the planning process,

holding regular meetings

to ensure designs were

compatible with the character

of the historic neighbourhood.

This moment is the culmination

of years of policy work, planning,

and collaborative e orts around

downtown revitalization, brownfi eld

redevelopment, heritage, and

neighbourhood engagement,

says Mayor Guthrie. This is the

moment the work pays o , as

we see underused land being

transformed into something that

will have a major positive impact

on our whole community.

This large and complex

development is a signifi cant

outcome of the Citys economic

development strategy and

Downtown Guelph Community

Improvement Plan, which includes

policies, tools and tax- increment

based incentives to promote

downtown renewal.

Property Profile | MATTAMY HOMES

THE OUTLOOK IS BEAUTIFUL FOR

CRANBERRY HILL IN WATERDOWN

Some time ago, Mattamy discovered

the appeal of Cranberry Hill and will

soon return to provide an evolution

of its family-friendly offerings.

Waterdown is an ideal focal point for

all the Golden Horseshoe has to offer.

Near enough to the city of Toronto,

Waterdown still offers the unspoiled

charms of natural living. Moreover,

its strategically connected to all the

regions highways Hwys. 403, 6,

407 and 401.

Mattamy is well known for

creating wonderfully master-planned

communities, and Cranberry Hill is

no exception. Inspired by and

respecting the local landscape

features such as greenspaces,

parks, playgrounds, walking and

bicycling trails also complement the

neighbourhood. A small-town charm

is evident and manifested through

friendly features such as generous

front porches that harken back to

an era when neighbours and passers-

by would wave and catch up on

local happenings.

In Cranberry Hill, youre bound

to discover an inspiring mix of

townhomes plus 30- and 36-ft.

detached homes that all offer an

urban flavour. Though you may

choose to live just outside the city,

you neednt sacrifice any of the

creature comforts a modern home

can provide. Reassuringly, Mattamy

has not forgotten natural appeal in

the fundamental design approaches.

Take note of the oversized windows

Mattamys designers choose to use.

Not only do they allow an abundance

of natural light into your home, they

also allow you to gaze out upon the

benefits of living naturally right here in

the heart of Southern Ontario.

WILDFLOWERS WILL BE A MOST

ATTRACTIVE CHOICE IN KITCHENER

As it has since its inception in 2013,

Wildflowers will soon continue its

successful growth. A lush forest

bordering the community reveals

from where this delightful, master-

planned community inherited its

name. Now that the colours are about

to change, you may take it as a signal

to discover all that this family-friendly

community has to offer year-round.

Master-planning means the green

areas, parks, playgrounds, plus walking

and bicycling trails were considered

as a whole to complement the

landscape and to comfortably link

neighbours to one another.

Many homes in Wildflowers will

feature an inviting front porch,

an often-overlooked element of

modern homes. This simple aspect

gives a home a platform from which

neighbours can greet one another and

designed with large windows to allow

more cheerful, natural light to stream

into your life. You can soon choose

from a healthy selection of aff ordable

townhomes and detached homes in

a variety of interior and exterior styles

for any-sized family.

Many Mattamy design cues are

inspired by the small, historical

towns that populate the Ontario

landscape. The variety of exteriors

allows each street to look unique,

so the entire neighbourhood feels

fresh. Homes are as individual as the

families they welcome. In fact, there

are no identical homes situated next

to one another. Since opening day,

Wildfl owers has been well received

for the style and intelligence of its

home- and neighbourhood-planning.

Streets and features are still created

to allow best use and eff ortless ease

of passage. The home interiors, too,

will be thoughtfully designed to

off er optimal usability and greater

possibilities for furniture placement.

Four professionally appointed model

homes allow a delicious sampling of

how sublime life here can be. See why

so many of your future neighbours

have already picked Wildfl owers.

missed out on owning a spectacular

midrise residence at LINK Condos +

Lofts in Burlington are in luck but

theyll need to hurry.

Shovels are in the ground and

Condos + Lofts, the second phase

in the Burlington project created

by visionary, in-demand builders

Tariq and Saud Adi of Adi

community members and hopeful

residents gathered at the site, located

on Dundas Street at Sutton, to enjoy

live music, mouth-watering food

truck eats and games for the kids (and

grownups, too).

The highlight of the evening,

though, was witnessing principals and

brothers Tariq and Saud join together,

custom gold shovels in hand, to break

ground on the project.

The brothers are elated to continue

the tradition theyve started at LINK.

With our unique articulated design,

we believe and residents have

confirmed that weve established

a whole architectural movement

with this community, says Tariq. Its

young, its hip, its connected. Its

exactly what Burlington needs.

The name LINK refers to the idea

that all the residences and residents

are connected, by bridges and

by a central courtyard featuring a

tranquil garden with lounging areas.

community is arranged in a U-shape

City Focus | BURLINGTON

TEN YEARS OR SO AGO, IF YOU WERE

asked to describe Burlington, you

might have thought of it as just west

of Oakville, lots of land space, a bit

of a bedroom community between

Toronto and Hamilton, with some big

box retail outlets.

Burlington still shows those

characteristics, but is increasingly

earning a reputation as a city

on the rise, with a progressive

local government and economic

development o ce helping to build

a self-su cient economy. Burlington

shines in business as well as culture,

recreation and leisure.

And like Oakville, Burlingtons

proximity to Hamilton, the GTA and

the U.S. is central to its prosperity.

The city has a clear vision of its

future. Core economic strengths

focus on advanced manufacturing,

software development, fi nancial

services, biotechnology,

environmental and logistics

enterprises. Increasing diversity

is one of the keys to future growth,

as this would build resilience

and sustainability to expand

further beyond its traditional

industrial markets.

For example, the city is

expanding its partnerships with

nearby post-secondary institutions,

including McMaster University and

Mohawk College, in emerging

fi elds of technology, research and

skills training.

In addition, Mayor Rick Goldring

says the Burlington Economic

Development Corp. is one of the

citys top priorities. City Council has

endorsed aggressive growth targets

and has formally asked BEDC to take

a more direct and active role in the

short- and long-term development

and marketing of Burlington.

Already well positioned with

extensive access to regional, national

and international transportation

networks, the city is also the

benefi ciary of recent investments in

infrastructure to improve highways

and mass transit, to facilitate business

growth and community development.

Currently in Burlington, a disparity

exists between local jobs and the

skill-set of residents, says BEDC.

Residents have to commute outside

the city to fi nd work, particularly in

professional services. As a result,

approximately 55 per cent of

Burlington residents commute to jobs

in Oakville, Mississauga and Toronto.

In the manufacturing industry, the

Neighbourhood Profi le

Downtown BurlingtonDowntown Burlington hosts the majority of the citys festival including Canadas largest rib fest and the Sound of Music festival, voted one of the top 100 festivals in Ontario. Many well-known celebrities grew up in and around the neighbourhood, including Jim Carrey and Ryan Gosling.

The VibeThis a uent neighborhood has still managed to maintain a pretty down-to-earth vibe. The area screams vitality and there is a strong sense of solidarity among the residents. A lot of this can be attributed to free activities and events held on a regular basis.

Meet the NeighboursThe majority of downtown Burlington residents fall within the 25 to 44 age bracket. The area also appeals to young couples and families who are attracted to the low crime rate, which is approximately half of downtown Toronto, as well as the family-friendly amenities.

In the AreaThere are a ton of restaurants, pubs, ice-cream shops and cafes along the main streets of the area. Brant Street is a shopaholics paradise, and Brant Pier, a popular spot for residents and visitors, extends 137 metres over Lake Ontario.

Planes, Trains & AutomobilesResidents have direct access to the QEW and Hwy. 403. There is a Burlington GO station located at Fairview St. and Brant St., which will get you to Torontos Union Station in an hour.

The Good, the Bad & the RestAlthough there are great benefi ts to living in downtown Burlington, keep in mind the main highways to get out of the city (the 403 and QEW) are considered to be two of the busiest in the GTA.

Dollars & SenseThere is high demand for downtown Burlington, as a waterfront community. The area is not the most a ordable, however.

Real EstateProximity to the lake makes downtown Burlington a desired location, which comes at a cost. Real estate is not as pricey as properties along the Toronto Waterfront, however.

opposite occurs, as Burlington

imports labour from outside the city.

All of this is important news for

prospective new-home buyers

looking to buy in and around

Burlington. These plans mean more

local job opportunities, which leads

to employment and average wage

growth key determining factors to

support new housing and increasing

real estate values.

Developers catering to this demand

include: Branthaven Homes, with

two-storey boutique condos at Jazz;

Molinaro Group, with Paradign condos

in midtown Burlington; and Adi

Development Group is building LINK

and LINK2 Condos + Lofts in the city.

Residents can enjoy a variety

of cultural and local attractions in

Burlington, from the famous Royal

Botanical Gardens to the Burlington

Art Centre, home to the worlds

largest collection of contemporary

Canadian ceramics.

Parkland is abundant in Burlington,

with 75 parks occupying 800 acres

within the city Key among them is

the Spencer Smith Park, a highlight in

downtown old Burlington which has

undergone signifi cant redevelopment

over the years to become one of the

citys central recreational centres

along the waterfront.

For those looking for amateur

sports and recreation in their

community, Burlington has a vast

array of excellent programs and youth

leagues, as well as the Burlington

Cougars junior hockey team.
