//EDITOR’S NOTE

When was the last time you cycled in a velodrome? Or swam lengths in an Olympic-sized pool? Or watched your kids bomb around an

internationally sanctioned BMX track? For many of us, the answers are likely “never.”But, thanks to the Pan Am Games, you will soon have

the opportunity to at least explore such activities.To be sure, we all complained about tra£ c, road closures

and HOV nonsense, but there are some tangible reasons to be thankful Toronto and surrounding areas hosted the Games.

Maybe not now, but in weeks, months and years down the road. From Welland to Milton and, of course, to primary host Toronto, countless

improvements took place, from modernizing existing facilities to building new ones to upgrading infrastructure. We could argue that it shouldn’t take hosting such an event to spur this development, but much of this investment would not have been made otherwise. Simple pleasures such as walking or cycling to a park or the lake, to just hung out, read, have a picnic, take a nap or play with your kids... Public spaces are essential – they are part of the very fabric that brings people together, to actually build communities.

Pan Am facilities, soon to be turned over for public use, will be a lasting legacy for generations to come.

Thank you, Pan Am GamesLegacy facilities are central to community building

Buying a brand-new home o§ ers an opportunity to get what you really want. It can be a dream come true and an investment for the future, but don’t forget, it’s also

a legal transaction. © e term “get it in writing” has never been more important, since it outlines everything your new home will have in it, on it and around it.

Otherwise known as the Agreement of Purchase and Sale, the contract spells out the terms between you and your builder. Without it, if there is a misunderstanding or disagreement, it’s impossible to prove what was originally promised.

Since buying a new home is much more complicated than a resale transaction, there is no set Agreement of Purchase and Sale or standard contract. In some provinces, builders may have standard contracts prepared by the local home builders’ association or their new-home warranty program. Builders often prepare their own agreements, so these can vary from one company to another and from province to province.

Before you sign a contract, review it carefully with the builder representative, and ask questions to make sure you fully understand what’s in it. Your next step is to then take it to a real estate lawyer and have it reviewed. Once it is signed, it becomes a legal document, so seeking the services of an experienced lawyer is an important step toward ensuring that your dream home becomes a reality.

‘Get it in writing’This term is especially important when buying a home

Carriage Gate Homes presents…

LEGACY in

ANCASTER

W ith its prestigious Ancaster location, this limited community of only 42 custom inspired homes from Carriage Gate Homes is quickly

becoming one of the finest collections of elite residences offered in Ancaster.

Legacy offers discerning homeowners an upscale private community set in a mature area, amidst an abundance of amenities. In fact, this is such a private and secluded enclave that many locals don’t even realize the site is there, clearly making it one of Ancaster’s best-kept secrets.

After a successful preconstruction launch this winter, Legacy is now fully under construction. Two model homes are underway and our first set of purchasers are now realizing their dream homes are becoming a reality.

The setting is ideal, the neighborhood is desirable and the home designs are lavish, inside and out. Legacy offers only the finest luxurious standard features such as 10-ft. ceilings, granite counters, all brick, stone and stucco exteriors, oak stairs, gas fireplace with custom stone mantle, finely appointed kitchens with extended uppers, crown moulding, soft close doors, wood interiors, islands and pantries… just to name a few.

Gorgeous home designs range from a 2,300-sq.-ft. bungalow to a 4,200-sq.-ft. two-storey, and everything in between. Just as impressive as the unique home styles are the generous and rare lot sizes, with frontages ranging from 50, 55, 60 and 66 ft. wide.

Whether you are a growing family realizing your dreams, or an active empty nester ready to comfortably downsize, this sought after neighborhood has been designed to create the desired lifestyle you deserve.

//MORTGAGE ADVICE

» by ALYSSA RICHARD

ALYSSA RICHARD is the Founder and

CEO of RateHub.ca, a mortgage rate comparison site that aims to empower Canadians to make smart

financial decisions.

What will the Bank of Canada’s rate cut MEAN FOR THE ECONOMY, HOUSING AND YOU?

On July 15, the Bank of Canada (BoC) announced it would cut the target for the overnight lending rate to 0.50 per cent from 0.75 per cent. This was just the second such rate cut since 2010, with the BoC most recently reducing the rate from one per cent to 0.75 per cent margin in January.

January’s rate cut came as a surprise to many, but this most recent move had been anticipated in the weeks leading up to the announcement. Lower oil prices have led the Canadian economy into a slump, prompting debates over whether we are in a recession. That argument has mostly come down to the definition of the word – a recession is technically defined as two consecutive quarters of negative GDP growth. The BoC was careful not to use the R word in its announcement, but acknowledged the economy is underperforming and an interest rate cut was necessary to “help return the economy to full capacity and inflation sustainably to target.”

The rate cut has mixed effects, however. Last month, BoC Governor Stephen Poloz compared January’s rate cut to “life-saving surgery,” noting that the positive benefits outweighed any side effects such as increased levels of consumer debt. Since mortgage rates are closely tied to the BoC’s overnight rate, the housing market will also be affected. In Toronto and Vancouver where prices have been skyrocketing, rate cuts are only making the situation worse, putting ownership further out of reach for first-time homebuyers.

Prior to the announcement, it was unclear whether a rate cut would, in fact,

be another cup of coffee for an already overstimulated housing market. But in the hours following the announcement, it became clear that homebuyers were eager to take advantage of lower mortgage rates. Traffic to ratehub.ca surged 300 per cent as Canadians searched for better mortgage deals in the hours following the announcement. Mortgage brokerage Butler Mortgage lowered its five-year variable mortgage rate by 0.10 per cent almost immediately, to 1.88 from 1.99 per cent. The drop translates to $1,320 savings in mortgage payments over a five-year term.

TD was the first of the major banks to lower their prime rate, cutting it by 0.10 per cent the day as the BoC announce-ment. Within a day, many banks had lowered their prime rate by 0.15 to 2.70 per cent.

Some remain unconvinced the cut will do enough for the average Canadian to save any money, or stimulate the economy. Others worry the impact on the Toronto and Vancouver housing markets would increase disparity between those hot markets and the rest of the country, where real estate has been relatively stable.

So what does BoC’s latest announcement mean for you? If you have a variable rate mortgage, you can expect to save a few dollars a month when your interest rate drops. Interest rates on other variable rate loans (such as lines of credit) are also likely to drop, freeing up some cash. If you’re shopping for a house, your overall affordability will likely increase due to lower mortgage rates, but you may find that higher house prices quickly negate any advantage you might have had.

We’ll have the summer to find out what effect the cut has on the housing market and the economy as a whole. The next rate announcement is Sept. 9.

Southwestern Ontario New Home MarketLooking to buy a new home in Southwestern Ontario? Here’s a look at what’s trending in key

SWO markets, with average new home prices for select housing types (inventory homes, as of June 30, 2015).

As of the second quarter of 2015, the aver-age detached new home price in some of Southwestern Ontario’s key markets ranged

from $352,898 (30- to 39-ft. lot) in Niagara Falls to more than $1.1 million (60- to 69-ft. lot) in Hamilton. New condo prices had an average low of $205,295 in Centre Wellington and an average

high of $426,738 in Hamilton. New townhomes are a popular offering at an attractive price, with an average of about $279,900 in Grimbsy to $458,276 in Waterloo. Currently, there is about a six month supply of townhomes across all of Southwestern Ontario’s key markets.

LOSANI HOMES’ ‘PRONTO ON DEMAND’

eliminates guesswork by offering a guaranteed closing date and price

The most exciting part of purchasing a new home is finding just the “right” place for you and your family. The

most frustrating part is the uncertainty of pricing and the what-seems-like forever wait to move in. Losani Homes recognized this and has introduced its new and innovative Pronto on Demand program, which eliminates frustration and allows you to enjoy the process of new-home buying, with move-in dates as soon as just 30 days.

“We began to think and observe how people go about the process in purchasing major lifestyle items, and we noticed they want to touch, feel and experience the product before making the buying decision,” says Fred Losani, chief executive officer of Losani Homes. “People test-drive cars, they touch,

feel and experience smartphones or televisions, they lie on matrasses or sit on furniture. So why shouldn’t they be able to fully experience, in person and in real life, the biggest investment they will ever make? Losani Homes Pronto on Demand program allows them to do exactly that – to touch, feel, experience and walk-through their actual homes before making their final homebuying decision.”

The Pronto on Demand program applies to approximately a third of its fine quality single-family, townhomes and semis in its outstanding new home communities located in Ancaster, Beamsville, Binbrook, Collingwood, Hamilton, Kitchener and Stoney Creek.

Homes included in the Pronto program are about 30 per cent constructed, or in some cases 100 per cent complete, allowing prospective purchasers to walk the home prior to purchasing and imagine their individual customization of finishes. Depending upon the status of construction of the homes they select, they can then move into the homes in 30, 60 or 90 days.

“Pronto on Demand is a game-changer in new home purchasing,” says Losani. “With homes nearing completion at purchase, there is no longer any wait for building permits or the other obstructions or delays buyers of new


LOSANI HOMES | Multi-Site

Recognized for innovative design, quality of finishes and superior customer service, Losani Homes has never wavered from its original traditional values of creative home building and ultimate customer satisfaction.

homes sometimes experience. The closing date and the price are both guaranteed, which are always the main concerns when purchasing a newly constructed home. Pronto on Demand allows you to focus on the more enjoyable aspects of choosing interior finishes and custom designing your new home. Simply put, it eliminates the main uncertainties in new home purchasing.”

To highlight this new and stress-free approach to new home purchasing, Losani Homes is producing the Pronto Portfolio of Homes, which will showcase all the available homes in the Pronto on Demand program available in the seven Losani Homes communities. This portfolio will be distributed through real estate brokerages, agents, lawyers, mortgage brokers and Losani Homes offices, with updates on available homes as required on a regular basis.

Pronto on Demand is the latest new and innovative program being offered by Losani Homes, one of the most trusted and respected developers in the real estate industry, who pride themselves in their “thinking like a customer” approach to new home purchasing.

Proud of their family owned and operated heritage over the past 40 years, Losani Homes has earned more awards over the last decade than any other builder in the many areas in which it operates. Recognized for innovative design, quality of finishes and superior customer service, Losani Homes has never wavered from its original traditional values of creative home building and ultimate customer satisfaction.

Burlington is home to Spencer Smith Park, complete with its planned $51-million improvement, the Waterfront Trail, an abundance of unique restaurants, the Burlington Performing Arts Centre, the Bruce Trail, Joseph Brant Museum, the new and improved Joseph Brant Hospital and The Art Gallery of Burlington. The city is the host of Canada’s largest free music festival, the Sound of Music Festival, as well as Canada’s Largest RibFest, Burlington Beerfest, Taste of Burlington, Movies under the Stars, Saturdays in the Street and Fit in the Core.

Waterfront living is now within reach…REGISTER TODAY FOR BRANTHAVEN’S LAKE HOUSE Towns and Condos in Grimsby

Get ready for Lake House living! Branthaven Homes’ latest community has all the hallmarks of a great

summer getaway – unrivalled waterfront location, long stretches of beach and promenade, authentic coastal architecture and resort-style interiors that provide easy, breezy living – everyday.

Now is your chance to Live the Life you have always wanted with Lake House, a transformative, new master-planned community of towns and midrise boutique condos on the edge of Lake Ontario in Grimsby.

“What sets Lake House apart from other so-called waterfront developments is its actual location – 17.5 acres of prime waterfront real estate with direct waterfront access, protected beaches, fantastic amenities and panoramic lake views,” says Steve Stipsits, president of Branthaven Homes. “The site’s unusually wide strip of land and expansive lake frontage is

unprecedented. There is no other development in the region that provides the opportunity for truly attainable lakefront homeownership. Lake House is it!”

The towns and condos, parks and pathways, beach and boardwalks at Lake House are designed with proximity to the lake in mind – as are the linkages to the ever-expanding Waterfront Trail System. “Year round, Lake House residents will be able to lead a healthy and satisfying lifestyle by strolling, biking, jogging or walking their dog on the trails, practicing yoga on the beach or simply enjoying the beautiful sunrises and sunsets that this rare location offers,“ says Kristen Bellamy, marketing and brand manager of the Burlington-based home builder.

Townhomes will have authentic nautical notes and a contemporary beach flare. New England beach style is evident in the traditional high quality materials like premium siding and maintenance-free, cedar-profile shakes. The Waterfront townhomes are a perfect blend of classic Cape Cod styling – angled peaks and flared columns, stone and shakes, with modern accents like contemporary glass paneled balconies and large windows for a distinctive custom crafted look.

At Lake House, there will a range of two-storey and three-storey towns to choose from. The 21-ft. wide, two-storey towns will have full waterfront walk outs – some less than 50 metres from the beach, others a mere 35 metres from the water! The always popular three-storey 18-ft. town collections will also be available at Lake House; some plans including rooftop terraces. There are also flexible 20-ft. rear lane towns with in-demand double car garages.

Townhome plans will range from 1,550 upward of 2,400 sq. ft. Lake House

will also have a limited collection of flats. Whatever type of townhome you choose, all will feature Branthaven’s signature Fresh Thinking features, which are high design features at no extra cost, and outdoor living spaces with walkouts or balconies for casual lounging and dining.

If its carefree condo living you are looking for, Lake House will offer boutique condo residences at the heart of the residential waterfront community. Designed with a West Coast Contemporary style, each of the two midrise condos will be wrapped in rich brick and large terraces and offer amenities that rival five-star resort living. Residents and their guests will enjoy an outdoor pool and patio, garden area, fitness and yoga room, party and games room – even a pet spa for a much needed clean up after a day at the beach.

Lake House condo suites are truly open-concept living spaces designed to capture as much of the panoramic views as possible. Floor-to-ceiling windows and balcony sliders will not only provide fresh air and lots of natural light but will be the perfect place to sit and admire the breathtaking lake views that this community offers. Glass balcony railings are a modern touch and also add to the uninterrupted vistas. With one- and two-bedroom options available, Lake House Condo suites will range from 465 to 1,185 sq. ft., each featuring Branthaven’s designer kitchens and spa baths.

Whether you are looking for a beachside townhome or cool, poolside condo, Lake House is the resort lifestyle you are looking for. Lake House Condos and Towns will be available from the $180’s to the $700’s.

Branthaven Homes will be holding a VIP preview event for Lake House registrants only. Early Registration ensures priority access to floorplan releases, preview pricing and special promotions. Register now for Inspired Lake House Living at lakehouselife.ca

Mod’rn Condos in Burlington ARE EVERYTHING CONTEMPORARY CONDO LIVING SHOULD BE

Condo living calls to mind sleek, contemporary spaces and The Mod’rn, a new Burlington condo that is now completed, is just that. Adi Development Group has created a project that is as modern as its name – a new landmark for Burlington.

“You can tell from the second you walk up to The Mod’rn that it is something entirely unique. An architectural legacy for Burlington,” says Tariq Adi, CEO of Adi Development Group. “It only gets better inside. Each suite is nothing short of amazing.”

Now fully built and occupied, only three suites remain at this exclusive boutique address, making right now the absolute last chance to secure an unmatched lifestyle in Burlington’s midtown. A rare highlight in the condo market, purchasers can move in immediately.

For a limited time only, Adi is offering a new incentive, making it a better time than ever to buy at The Mod’rn. Purchasers can move in immediately and get a one-per-cent

cash-back bonus and enjoy free condo fees for one year, and the opportunity to purchase with only a five per cent deposit.

With the stunning model suite now completed, condo hunters can experience first-hand the exceptional quality of Adi’s signature IntelliSpace layouts.

“We wanted interior spaces to be reflective of the residents who live here: chic and sophisticated,” says Saud Adi, COO of Adi Development Group. “These suites are exceptional. Nothing compares.”

Impeccably designed with designer finishes, ceilings reach up nine and 10 ft., emphasizing spacious, open-concept living spaces. Kitchens are appointed with gorgeous granite countertops, contemporary cabinetry and stainless steel Energy Star appliances.

Suites remaining include the Vivant, a 750-sq.-ft., one-bedroom plus den layout from $329,990, and the Questro, a 906-sq.-ft., two-bedroom plus den layout from $393,990, which includes an underground parking space.

Designed for entertaining, amenity highlights begin with a rooftop terrace that is perfect for entertaining or relaxing and enjoying views of Lake Ontario. From sunrise to sunset, residents can enjoy an expansive deck, lounge space with fireplace as well as barbecue dining alcoves. Arriving home, an inviting lobby welcomes residents and guests.

The Mod’rn is ideally located at 1284 Guelph Line. Offering unparalleled convenience, residents are mere minutes from both the QEW, 407, public transit, Burlington’s downtown waterfront, restaurants, shopping and much more.

A sales representative is on site for tours of the building’s suites from Monday to Wednesday from 2 to 7 p.m., Thursdays and Fridays by appointment, and weekends and holidays from noon to 5 p.m.

T hriving rural areas, the Niagara Escarpment, Lake Ontario shores, proximity to Ontario’s

wine region, hundreds of acres of parks and expanding highway access... All of this defines “home” for the 63,000 residents of Stoney Creek.

To say this is a picturesque town resplendent with lifestyle opportunities is an understatement. With lakeside locations, marinas and the Fifty Point Marina and Conservation Area, Stoney Creek boasts an excellent combination of natural surroundings and modern but comfortable development. Feel like a nice, quiet walk in the woods? There’s the Bruce Trail that winds along the Niagara Escarpment. In the spring,

STONEY CREEK HAS IT ALL

Natural surroundings and modern development and growth...

//CITY FOCUS

there’s the Hawk Watch, taking place at the Beamer Conservation Area. Numerous golf courses are only minutes away, as are facilities for hockey, soccer, tennis, softball, racquetball, swimming and curling.

Longtime residents as well as recent homebuyers are drawn to the picturesque settings, served by more than 100 businesses, new-home development and improving access to Hamilton and St. Catharines, and all other points around the Golden Horseshoe.

Indeed, Stoney Creek and neighbouring Grimsby are among the fastest-growing parts of the Hamilton region. In recent years, new condominiums have been built along the lakefront beyond the reach of the industrial Hamilton Harbour. Builders – including Empire Communities, New Horizon Homes, Rosehaven Homes, Branthaven Homes, Homes by DeSantis and Losani Homes – have attracted local residents as well as those relocating from the Greater Toronto Area, thanks to greater affordability and quick access to the


western GTA via the Burlington Skyway. Detached housing growth remains strong in developments above the mountain.

Still, greenspace is abundant, with more than 40 parks totalling 382 acres of land, 23 baseball diamonds, 19 soccer fields and 27 playgrounds.

Stoney Creek extends from the shores of Lake Ontario to above the majestic Niagara Escarpment with the QEW right at their doorstep. It is located within 30 minutes of downtown Hamilton and St. Catharines, less than a one-hour drive from Toronto and the U.S. border. Businesses and residents enjoy the ideal mix of a small town, community lifestyle, while maintaining easy access to several major urban centres.

In addition to small-town atmosphere, the town is part of the Gateway to Niagara, offering much more than meets the eye. It is one of the many towns and villages that comprise the Niagara region, an area of 1,800 sq. km. that forms a peninsula of land between Lake Ontario and Lake Erie with a total population of about 432,000.

With many on the move to new-home communities in Stoney Creek, the secret is out. The town offers quiet getaways from city living and an ideal location for commuters heading to

Hamilton and Toronto or Niagara. Builders are responding accordingly, with a wide selection of new-home options, including luxury, detached and townhome living.

Like the rest of the Niagara region, Stoney Creek enjoys a thriving agricultural industry. The area along the QEW, and above and below the Escarpment, is dotted with livestock farms, orchards, vineyards and greenhouses. The greenhouse industry of Niagara boasts in excess of 18 million sq. ft. of space. Some 200 greenhouses and 75 food processing plants employ more than 6,000 with thousands more employed in related industries. Horticulture is supported by extensive training programs through Niagara College’s Horticultural Centre, The Niagara Parks Commission School of Horticulture and The Horticultural Research Institute of Ontario (University of Guelph), all of which base programs in the Niagara Region.

Niagara’s grape industry produces more than 48,000 tonnes per year. New wineries are an example of the region’s ongoing expansion in overall agricultural and food processing. Increased popularity of grape and wine

products has created a separate identity and a designated Wine Route that has been posted from Stoney Creek to Niagara Falls, connecting 30 of the area’s 70 wineries offering tours and tasting. Hundreds of thousands of visitors tour this scenic route annually. The wine industry employs more than 5,000 people in wineries, retail, and as suppliers and growers.

West Lincoln Memorial Hospital is located in Grimsby and serves 60,000 citizens in town and adjoining municipalities and is also the largest public employer. Larger hospitals with expanded services and facilities are located in nearby St. Catharines and Hamilton.

From its roots as a service centre to thriving agricultural industry, Stoney Creek has become a preferred locale to live and do business in Niagara.

A FIRST LOOK: THE RESIDENCES OF ROYAL CONNAUGHT’S

exclusive Penthouse Collection

Luxury living has arrived in downtown Hamilton with the exclusive Penthouse Collection at the Residences of Royal Connaught.

In the midst of Hamilton’s booming real estate market, the Penthouse Collection is a first: private and secluded skyline residences immersed in a thriving downtown core.

“We wanted to create a luxury home deserving of the historic Royal Connaught address. The Penthouse Collection is a first for Hamilton, offering exceptional design and privacy with an unbeatable urban lifestyle,” says Rudi Spallacci, president of the Spallacci Group.

Stepping inside the immaculate suites, oversized windows extend up, soaring 16-ft.-high ceilings, highlighting phenomenal views. Looking south, a green canopy blankets the lush escarpment while to the north, the city’s bright lights lead to the waterfront.

At penthouse level, expansive two-storey suites are designed for the social lifestyles of urban dwellers. Gourmet kitchens feature state-of-the-art stainless steel appliances, with extended designer cabinetry and stylish granite countertops. Cleverly anchored around a convenient island, guests can enjoy cocktails and conversation while busy chefs prepare the main course.

Master bedrooms are bright and serene, with an oversized walk-in closet and ensuite with a lavish soaker tub and a rain shower that invites relaxation. Upstairs, an additional bedroom is perfect for overnight guests.

“With the Penthouse Collection, we wanted to introduce a refined home that compliments the metropolitan lifestyle that this location affords. These are some of the most exquisite homes in the city,” says Ted Valeri, president of Valery Homes.

Stepping outside, new foodie destinations and quaint cafes are just steps away from the Connaught’s front door in any direction. Looking for a culture fix? Friday evenings at James Street North’s Art Crawl are a perfect way to wrap up with week with friends downtown, while Saturday mornings start with a stroll on the city’s scenic Bayfront Park and a trip to the farmers’ market. For quick escapes from the city, two GO stations are within a five-minute walk in either direction of the residence.

Returning home, the Royal Connaught’s restored art deco lobby is a welcome respite from the city. Unwind by the fireplace on the mezzanine, or catch up with neighbours at the espresso bar, before returning to the penthouse’s quite calm.

The Penthouse Collection of The Residences of Royal Connaught will offer new condominium suites housed in the historic west wing of the building.

With a selection of elegant designs ranging from 555 to 1,473 sq. ft., purchasers can customize their penthouse and sub-penthouse suites with looks ranging from classic to a more contemporary aesthetic. Condominium suites start from $446,990. The restored lobby houses the presentation centre and model suite at the corner of King and John in Hamilton. Phase 1 occupancy is expected for 2016.

Branthaven’s Pure Town living TO ARRIVE IN MILTON THIS SUMMER!

The anticipation has been building for months, and hundreds of prospective new-home buyers have registered for the arrival of Branthaven Homes’ latest community – Pure. The Burlington-based builder will unveil its two-storey freehold townhomes in Milton this summer to a brand new audience of savvy homebuyers looking for attainable luxury.

“We are very excited to announce our arrival in Milton,“ says Steve Stipsits, president of Branthaven. “We are a well-established name in Burlington and Oakville with a loyal following of repeat and move up buyers. With Pure Towns, we are able to offer our signature style and Fresh Thinking to a new audience of homebuyers who will aspire to Live the Life in Milton.”

It’s a pure fact that Milton is the place to be. The recent federal census named Milton Canada’s fastest-growing community and the second youngest community in the GTA. “Milton is the number one choice for young professionals and families who want small-town allure and wide open spaces. They are also looking for quality new home construction, contemporary finishes and family-friendly amenities at an affordable price point,” says Stipsits. “They will find it all at Pure Towns.”

Located off Bronte Street South, tucked into its own landscaped enclave, the town collection will be pure sophistication. “The exteriors are classic Branthaven – authentic styles with high quality stone and brick on the outside and contemporary open plans on the inside,” says Stipsits. “And, at 20-ft. wide, they are wider and more spacious than what is typically offered in Milton. They will be the perfect balance of chic city style in a charming country setting.”

Branthaven Homes has earned its reputation for well-planned interiors that are more modern and have more design conscious features. Living spaces are pure brilliance with lots of glass and airy nine-ft. ceilings. Floorplans feature exceptional

flow and functionality. “People comment on how easy they are to decorate and what a pleasure they are to live and entertain in,” adds Stipsits.

Branthaven’s design leadership at Pure will be evident with its signature Fresh Thinking, added features at no extra cost. Fresh Thinking features not only add pure value, they are designed to improve your quality of life everyday.

Whether you are a busy professional or multi-tasking family, you will appreciate the perfect ingredients of convenience and cutting edge design. Pure’s kitchens will be easy to use with everything efficiently in its place. Fresh Thinking features, like deep drawers with pots and pan dividers, dream pantries, smart tech plugs, cutlery roller drawers, pull-out bins, extended uppers, tablet mounts, on-trend tile backsplashes and the coveted chef ’s island are included at no extra cost.

Fresh Thinking bathrooms are pure bliss with modern square tubs, glass shower doors, designer tiles, shower caddies and hotel-inspired vanities with integrated shelves.

Pure Town Living will offer six, two-storey town floorplans, ranging from 1,765 to 2,030 sq. ft.

For active, family-friendly living, Milton is a pure and natural choice to call home. Situated between Sixteen Mile Creek and the Protected Escarpment, surrounded by parks and natural green, Milton is a superb location to cycle, hike, walk and explore. There are four conservation areas, as well as an abundance of parks, trails and paths right at your doorstep. You can golf at numerous public and private courses; Ski at Glen Eden; take in a concert at the sparkling new Milton Centre of the Arts; check out the new flagship branch of Milton’s public library; or search for designer discounts at Toronto Premium Outlets.

Register at puretowns.com for an exclusive invitation to our VIP registrant-only event this month.

Indeed, many Ontario mid-sized metropolitan economies are expected to benefit from a weaker Canadian dollar and an improving U.S. economy – which is supporting strong manufacturing activity.

SWO economies among the strongest in the province this year

Usually, the pendulum swings back the other way. Not too long ago, manufacturing and process industries in Ontario were hardly the strength of the economy. Cities and towns entrenched in their past and unable to diversify their local economies often fell victim to the vagaries of their industries.

� ankfully, most knew they had to diversify into new businesses, while their successful, historical industries remained the foundation of the local economy.

Good news, then, that the economies of these smaller cities and towns in Southwestern Ontario are expected to be among the leaders in the province this year.

And that, in turn, is good news for their housing markets.

Indeed, many Ontario mid-sized metropolitan economies are expected to bene� t from a weaker Canadian dollar and an improving U.S. economy – which is supporting strong manufacturing activity.

� is, according to � e Conference Board of Canada’s Metropolitan Outlook: Summer 2015.

KITCHENER-CAMBRIDGE-WATERLOO:

� e area boasts the strongest economic outlook among the 15 cities covered in the report this year, with real GDP forecast to increase by 3.4 per cent, the Conference Board says. Light-rail transit system expansion will boost construction activity this year and next, while ongoing strength in the local manufacturing industry and a track record of innovation is helping to weather plant closures and company downsizings. Job conditions remain decent, with employment up 1.5 per cent in 2014 and expected to increase 2.4 per cent this year.

LONDON: � e economy here shook o� several years of lethargy in 2014, growing by 1.8 per cent. � is year, real GDP is forecast to advance by 2.1 per cent, its fastest increase since 2005, thanks to stronger manufacturing and construction output. � e value of London building permits rose strongly over the winter, particularly for non-residential construction. � e Conference Board expects construction output to rise by 2.9 per cent in 2015. With the improving economy, employment is expected to increase by 2.1 per cent in 2015, adding close to 5,000 jobs to the area.

ST. CATHARINES-NIAGARA: An improving services sector will help lift the economy by 1.8 per cent this year. In particular, a weaker Canadian dollar should result in more cross-border trips by Americans, boosting the region’s key tourism industry. Combined with solid employment and income gains, this is expected to jump retail sales by 2.9 per cent this year, and in turn will lift wholesale and retail trade output by 2.7 per cent.
