Celebration Condo Phase 2 (Warden & Finch)

2011-06-24T18:48:00.000-07:00

Lago Condo by Monarch (Lakeshore and Parklawn)

2011-06-16T18:08:00.000-07:00

Designed by Graziani + Corazza Architects, Lago is the commencement of the next Monarch location south of their multi-phase Waterview community. The 49 storey tower rises centrally on the site, extended at ground level by a 3 storey podium.

The podium is composed of masonry units, precast concrete, and glass materials that house a mix of residential and recreational components. The podium uses these materials to delineate a built form edge to the future public road and to also define pedestrian access points. The second floor houses a mix of amenity uses including a party room and guest suites.

The west portion of the podium will be accessed via a future laneway. It is here where both residents and visitors are greeted by an open motor court to facilitate pedestrian drop off and access to the main lobby. Access to the underground is also from this area along with building servicing. The service area is located to the south of the ramp as to allow all service activities to occur without being viewed or interrupted by the resident vehicles.

One Bedroom + Den from Low 300s

Contact me for price list and floor plans.

The main amenity spaces of the development are located to the west in an individual commercial building that fronts Lake Shore Boulevard. This building is 4 storeys in height and houses commercial uses at grade. A fitness area with full changerooms, swimming pool, and running track with yoga space are located above. The amenities can be accessed from the condominium either at grade, or via an enclosed walkway link in the p1 underground level, allowing residents to avoid venturing outdoors in the winter months should they choose. This amenity building will be shared between Lago and a future building to the east.

Architectural details verbatim, from Monarch's press release:

The cladding materials used for this phase of Waterview are similar to the previous phases in order to maintain a visual and aesthetic link within the community. The Lago tower is composed of a sleek simple square tower form which rises without any steps or breaks. The signature feature of the building is the composition of the balcony slabs and glass handrails on the Tower facade. The balconies borrow their geometry from the tower mass and are offset in groups as to generate a dynamic and intriguing building facade. The balconies contrast the rectilinear shape of the Tower and this layer of detail is amplified through the cast of shadow and light. The balconies also introduce a sense of horizontal movement around the Tower, which further accentuate its square shape and its verticality. Finally, the continuous wrap around balconies maximize on panoramic views of Lake Ontario while introducing a distinct and signature geometric form to the Etobicoke waterfront skyline. It is this dialogue between the architecture and the site that adds a dynamic layer to the Lago development.

Cinema Tower (King & Spadina)

2011-05-28T16:30:00.000-07:00

Cinema Tower is a dramatic 43-storey tower featuring a striking six storey podium and unique curved roofline.

The exterior entrance of the Lobby is framed by a stunning sculptural metaphor – “Strata”. Created by internationally renowned artist Peter Powning, “Strata” will act as a canopy over the entrance and will fuse an eclectic grouping of artefacts cast in bronze and illuminated aquifer veins made of reflecting slumped glass.

Real Estate Topic: Guide to Buying Your Home – Part 2

2011-04-23T18:55:00.000-07:00

Decide What You Want to Buy.

First, decide where you want to live.

Urban – The big city. Sure the prices are generally higher, but you can walk to a restaurant, maybe even to work. You’ll also have the widest range of housing options.

Suburban -Newer schools, newer shopping centers, bigger yards, bigger homes, no wonder so many people love the suburbs. But if you work in the city, be prepared for lots of rush hour traffic. It’s a packaged deal.

Smaller Cities and Towns – There are many wonderful self-contained communities, and compared to the big city, you can save a bundle.

Rural -If you like the idea of owning land, how about a few acres all to yourself? Seclusion is not for everybody, but for some, it’s heaven.

Next, decide what type of home you want.

By now, you probably have a good idea of what type of home is right for you. To familiarize you with the terminology, here’s a quick overview:

Single-family detached

As the name implies, the home is not attached to the home next door. Styles range from a single-story suburban bungalow, to a three-story Victorian.

Semi-detached or linked

Two houses that share a common wall. Typically less money than a fully detached home.

Duplex or Triplex

A two-storey or three-storey home, with each floor belonging to a separate family. Separate entrances are most common.

Town house

Also known as terrace or row housing. Several homes with a common style joined in a row. They usually share walls on both sides. May come with a monthly maintenance fee.

Condo

An upscale version of an apartment. Usually located in high-rise buildings with access to common elements. Maintenance fees usually apply. Condos also make a great first home purchase because they’re often thousands of dollars less than a detached home.

How Condos are owned

You’ll own 100% of your unit, and a share of the common areas. Common areas include the necessary plumbing, electrical systems, hallways and elevators. They may also include lots of fun stuff like a private gym or party room.

Condo fees

Membership has its privileges, and it costs. On top of your mortgage and property taxes, condo owners also pay a monthly fee to operate and maintain the common areas. Be sure to look into condo fees, and how well they’re managed, before signing anything.

New or Resale?

Resale. Previously loved.

Nothing can match the charm and character of an older home. As a bonus, the previous owner may have made improvements and upgrades and you get them with the house, usually for less than the cost of putting them in yourself. However, some may have a little too much ‘character ’ like a leaky roof…know what you’re getting yourself into. You should always work with a knowledgeable REALTOR®, and as we cover in Step 10 never buy a resale home without a Home Inspection.

Ahh…that new house smell.

You will be the very first person to live in your new home. In fact, your new home may be so new, that it’s not even built yet. You have the luxury of customizing your home to your décor tastes. But when you move in, be prepared for constant touch-ups by your builder; dust, mud and unpaved roads if your area is still developing; and shifting and settling of your home (cracks and popping nails) within the first year.

Before you commit to anything, carefully examine the property, the blueprints and visit other homes built by the same building company. Check to see you like the finishes they offer and the craftsmanship and quality of their work. Have your REALTOR® and lawyer review everything before you sign. While your home is being built, stay on top of the process and remember, you have a legal right to make a full inspection of the house before you accept it as complete.

You know what you want, but remember to focus on needs.

Are you getting out of a two-bedroom apartment because it’s too small? Then your new home should have at least three bedrooms, and probably a second bathroom. REALTORS® call these must-have features “needs”. Features you’d like to have are called “wants”.

Your strategy should be to find a home within your price range that fulfills all or most of your “needs”, and as many of your “wants” as possible. Use the Dream Home Checklist to help you decide what you’re looking for in a home.

Find a Realtor® that is Right for You.

You know how much money you have, and you have a good idea of what you want. Now you need the help of a real pro, to make your search a success.

REALTORS®. Highly trained, and continually training.

In Canada, licensed REALTORS® are members of their local real estate board, a provincial association and The Canadian Real Estate Association. This system of membership ensures the highest level of service and that you are always treated with honesty and integrity. This is backed by the REALTOR® Code of Ethics. Take a look at ‘The REALTOR® Commitment’ to learn more.

The Three REALTOR® Relationships

The relationship between a real estate brokerage and a client is called “Agency” and there are three major kinds:

1. Seller (Vendor) Agency

The real estate brokerage and all its REALTORS® represent the seller exclusively and it’s their job to get the best offer on the home. They are legally obliged to tell the seller anything known about a buyer. For instance, if a seller’s REALTOR® knows a buyer will pay more for a property, they must tell the seller.

2. Buyer (Purchaser) Agency

The real estate brokerage and all its REALTORS® represent the buyer exclusively. They seek out homes that meet the buyer’s needs and help assess the merits and defects of potential homes. They keep the buyer’s information confidential and never disclose information like the maximum amount their buyer is willing to pay. You may be asked by your REALTOR® to sign a buyer agency agreement. In fact, in some provinces,

REALTORS® are required to ask you for your own protection. This agreement ensures that the REALTOR® and the brokerage can look after your best interests.

3. Dual Agency

Sometimes, a brokerage may have an agency relationship with the buyer and the seller. Both the seller and the buyer must give their informed consent, and the REALTOR® must always provide full and timely disclosure of all pertinent information to both parties.

SELL AND BUY WITH THE SAME REALTOR®?

Absolutely! Especially if you’re remaining in the same community. Your REALTOR® is already an expert on your needs, so it can save you a lot of time and energy.

Selecting a REALTOR®

There are lots of ways to find a REALTOR®. As you drive through prospective neighborhoods, jot down the names and numbers of REALTORS® on the ‘For Sale’ signs. Open Houses are a great way to meet face-to-face. Maybe friends or family members have worked with a REALTOR® they love. Interview two or three and pick the one you like best.

How REALTORS® help buyers like you.

A REALTOR® will review your list of wants and needs to help you determine your price range.

Answer questions about the markets you’re interested in and help you compare homes and neighborhoods.

Use the local Multiple Listing Service (MLS).

The MLS is the single most powerful tool for buying and selling a home. Your REALTOR® will give you access to exclusive features of the MLS system that the public is not privy to.

Preview properties to ensure you’re only shown homes that meet your needs and budget.

Make appointments and walk you through potential homes, answering all your questions.

Give up-to-the-minute information on financing and explain your mortgage options.

Negotiate with the seller, smooth out any potential conflicts and draw up a legally binding contract.

Stick with your REALTOR®

One dream, one team. The REALTOR® you select will become an expert on your specific needs and tastes.

Scattering your time and energy amongst multiple REALTORS® will work against your goal of finding your best home. And because most REALTORS® have equal access to the same property listings, there’s no real advantage to having multiple REALTORS®.

Great Gulf Homes has revealed the most highly anticipated plans for the 1 Bloor Street East Toronto real estate site. Called Number One Bloor, Great Gulf Homes follows the cancelled 1 Bloor Street Toronto condo project originally designed and planned by Bazis International at this incredible project site. The new sculpted architectural design for the shorter Number One Bloor Toronto condo is impressive, and this skyscraper is ready for construction at the corner of Bloor and Yonge Streets. The public unveiling of the architecture for the Great Gulf Homes Toronto Number One Bloor condo high-rise tower was revealed in late March 2010 and this sculpted 65 storey luxury condo tower will be slightly shorter than the original plans for the 80 storey condominium high-rise planned by Bazis International (to become the highest residential high-rise tower in Canada at the time). The significant addition of the luxury Toronto Number One Bloor condo tower will represent three years of design, proposals and funding, and this mixed use development will combine a total of 690 suites along with 100,000 square feet of retail space along the main level and podium. The wavy design is sculpted in a way to make it feel more organic, but the tower still has a thinner seven storey base with a shopping centre and two level spa. The Hariri Pontarini Architect group designed the new Number One Bloor Toronto condo tower at 1 Bloor Street East, so that it doesn’t dominate the skyline, but perhaps adds to the unique modern edge of the Yonge-Bloor corridor. The 65 storey high-rise tower is set to launch presales this Spring 2010, and Great Gulf Homes has promised to make these pre-construction Toronto condos at Number One Bloor tower to be affordable for first time homebuyers and downsizers alike. Now with the unveiling of the renderings and architectural design of Number One Bloor Toronto homebuyers have a better sense of the design, exterior façade and striking architecture of this landmark tower.

Real Estate Topic: Guide to Buying Your Home

Step 1 : Make Sure You’re Ready to Buy
If you’re thinking of buying a home, this 12-step plan will help to guide you in the right direction. But before we jump right in, you have to make sure three things are ready: you, your bank account, and the real estate market.

Are you ready? Be sure.
Owning the roof over your head will bring you great pride, but with that pride comes accountability and sacrifice. There’s the obvious financial responsibility, but your home will also require constant care and upkeep. That’s what real pride of ownership is all about.

Is your bank account ready? Check it twice.

Your first home will be the biggest financial obligation you’ve ever faced. You should already be an experienced saver, and good at managing debt like student loans or credit cards. Ideally, you’ve also saved up some money for a nice down payment. Talk to your financial institution about the Home Buyers Plan too. Our next step will give you a crystal clear picture about how much you can afford.

Is now a good time to buy? Here’s the hottest market tip you’ll ever get.

Markets go up, markets go down and even the smartest experts can’t accurately predict when a market will peak or bottom out. The good news is, if you’re buying a home as a long-term investment (and for long-term enjoyment), you’re protected from short-term changes in the market. Over time, real estate has almost always increased in value.

All you have to do is pick a home that meets the needs of you and your family. Then you’ll enjoy living in your investment as it grows in value. A home is one of the best financial decisions you can make, so make sure you think things through.

Step 2: Figure Out How Much You Can Afford

Before you start looking for your dream home, let’s find out how big you can dream. Knowing your true budget is the first and most important step in buying a home. Why?

A home is a big purchase.

It’s probably the most expensive thing you’ll ever buy, and there are lots of expenses you might not even know about. Everybody’s total costs are different, but it’s almost guaranteed you won’t have that much money saved up. Hopefully you have enough for a nice down payment. Here’s the reality in detail:

Cost of buying a home = One time costs (down payment, legal fees, inspection fees, taxes)
Monthly costs (mortgage, utilities, maintenance, insurance, property taxes)

How much will a bank lend you?

Well that depends on how much you can afford each month. This is determined using two lending principals.

The first lending principle is that your monthly housing cost should not exceed 32% of your gross monthly family income. This principle is known as the Gross Debt Service (GDS) ratio calculation.

The second lending principle used, the Total Debt Service (TDS ) ratio calculation, is that your monthly housing cost and payments on all of your other debts (including loans, credit card and lease payments) should not exceed 40% of your gross monthly income.

Real Estate News:

Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 4,337 transactions through the TorontoMLS® system in January 2011. This result was 13 per cent lower than the record result reported in January 2010.

"While off the record pace experienced a year ago, the GTA resale market has started the year on a solid footing. Home buyers in Toronto and surrounding areas continue to benefit from a diversity of housing types for sale at many different price points," said TREB President Bill Johnston.

The average selling price for January 2011 sales was $427,037, representing an increase of over four per cent compared to the average of $409,058 reported in January 2010.

"The average selling price is expected to grow at a moderate pace in 2011. Growth rates in the three to five per cent range will be sustainable from an affordability perspective," said Jason Mercer, TREB's Senior Manager of Market Analysis.

MEDIAN PRICE

In January, the median price was $360,000, from the $350,000 recorded during January of 2010.

Real Estate Newsletter

2010-11-06T16:29:00.000-07:00

Real Estate News:

Greater Toronto REALTORS® reported 6,681 sales through the Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) in October 2010. This represented a 21 per cent decrease compared to the 8,476 sales recorded in October 2009. Through the first ten months of the year, sales amounted to 75,582 – up one per cent compared to the January through October period in 2009.

"The annual change in sales and average selling prices has been quite uniform across the GTA and by property type as the market has balanced out from record levels of sales in the second half of 2009 and first few months of 2010," said Toronto Real Estate Board (TREB) President Bill Johnston.

"The composition of GTA home sales does differ depending on location. Condominium apartments accounted for 42 per cent of total sales in the City of Toronto and almost 60 per cent of sales in TREB's central districts," Johnston continued. "In regions surrounding the City of Toronto, in contrast, low rise home types accounted for almost 90 per cent of transactions."

The average price for October transactions was $443,729 – up five per cent compared to the average of $423,559 reported in October 2009. The average selling price through the first nine months of the year was $430,802.

"The average selling price in the GTA has continued to grow relative to 2009 because home ownership has remained affordable," said Jason Mercer, the Toronto Real Estate Board's Senior Manager of Market Analysis. "A household earning the average income in the GTA can comfortably afford the mortgage payments associated with the purchase of an average priced home."

"The outlook for mortgage rates and income growth over the next year is favorable. The average home selling price could increase moderately next year and remain affordable for the average GTA household," continued Mercer.
