//EDITORS NOTE

Now that spring has sprung, get ready for the season that naturally follows construction.Indeed, there is an old joke that we have only two seasons in Ontario winter and construction. Now that the former is nally over, the latter may well begin in earnest.

Its not a new development that Hamilton and other cities in Southwestern Ontario like most in the province has prioritized building new roads and transit systems, and trying to gure out how to pay for it all.

ankfully, though, the provincial government is increasingly waking up to the need.

Case in point, the most recent provincial budget which included more transit and transportation infrastructure investments.

People need better transit options, says Ontario Home Builders Association President Vince Molinaro. e provinces massive transit investment should support the creation of transit-supported communities across Ontario. Building complete communities along those transit lines makes sense and will provide new housing and employment options and choice where people can live, work and play.

Its good to know our governments are fully on board.

Infrastructures big boostOntario needs better transit options, and the provincial government is increasingly on board

When only a new home will do, those in the market will be pleasantly surprised by the value and attention to detail a new home o ers. When you buy new, you dont inherit somebody elses

worn carpeting, personal taste in kitchen appliances or paint colour preferences. You get a fresh, clean space thats waiting for your personal imprint.

If youve always fantasized about buying a brand new home, here are a few tips that can help you make the process a pleasant one: Shop the mortgage market to see what you can a ord before you start your hunt;

Obtain a lawyer who is willing to review your o er and close the deal; Dont be persuaded by high pressure sales tactics while youre out shopping; Determine which options and upgrades you want as part of your o er and ensure your lender will nance whats required, if needed;

To save money, consider which upgrades you could purchase and install yourself after the sale closes. Some upgrades such as rough-ins and wiring inside the walls are easier to do before construction.

Factors such as the cost of the home, neighbourhood, lot size and special features play a big role in your nal decision. Determining which features your new house absolutely must have, and which features you could live without, should be among your rst steps in the homebuying process.

New home experienceMake wise choices and enjoy the process

O WOW

BRANTHAVENS OAKVILLAGE OPENS TO GREAT SUCCESS!Branthaven sales soar at Oakvilles fastest selling new home community

B ranthaven Homes recently celebrated the official launch of Oakvillage, another master-planned community of its award-winning lifestyle townhomes. Everyone who attended enjoyed Branthavens hospitality and was wowed by the array of two-and three-storey townhomes offered at Oakvillage, a destination, new home neighbourhood located at Trafalgar Road and Dundas Street East, in the heart of Oakvilles burgeoning new Uptown neighbourhood.

More than 150 smart and stylish towns were swiftly sold in the last weeks at the Preview and Grand Opening events. Eager new-home buyers from the west GTA were drawn to the overall vision of the community and to the many two- and three-storey innovative townhome designs at Branthavens Oakvillage.

My boyfriend and I purchased The Taplow model. We love the spacious layout of this back-to-back and the many added features that come with owning a Branthaven, says Marissa, a proud new owner of a Branthaven Oakvillage home. We are a two-vehicle couple and need more room than our current condo offers. We not only feel secure with the sound investment of a Branthaven, but well soon have a convenient garage and a driveway of our own.

It was great to see so many young professionals and young families who love the location, the community and the lifestyle benefits that Oakvillage offers. They really want to be part of it, says Steve Stipsits, president of Branthaven Homes. Our buyers were also design savvy and sophisticated. They appreciated the high style and built-in value that our Fresh Thinking bonus package provides. Theres no need for costly upgrades when everything they want in a brand new home is delivered all in. That really seems to resonate.

Kristen Bellamy, Branthavens marketing and brand manager, also reports that buyers did their homework online prior to the opening. They came in knowing they liked the traditional Oakville cachet of upgraded

brick elevations and loved the contemporary, open-concept floorplans. While visiting our stunning Presentation Centre during the Grand Opening, they could see and touch our showcase of signature features and finishes, which really helped them to differentiate what Branthaven offers over and above other home builders.

Visitors dare to compare Branthavens outstanding features and high-quality craftsmanship and soon discover that Branthavens Oakvillage Townhomes are unmatched in the market, adds Bellamy.

Smaller spaces, bigger vision

Living large is a mantra North Americans have been far too familiar with over the past few decades. Fortunately, most of us have come to realize that its not just our fast food portion sizes or our behemoth SUVs that could use some slimming down. Wastefulness and excessiveness are in steady decline, with growing numbers examining where in their lives they can cut back in order to save time, money and effort. This shift in perspective has been quite apparent in todays real estate market. As baby-boomers seek simplicity in smaller, uncluttered spaces, and young up-and-comers seek affordable living in minimalist condos and lofts, smaller spaces have become the dominant trend in new homes.

Not so long ago, the idea of a smaller home used to elicit images of being cramped and inconvenienced, with no place to entertain guests or even enjoy a bit of privacy. All that has changed over the past decade as architects and designers have devised and implemented proven techniques to maximize the functionality and flow of todays living spaces.

Housing is typically the largest expense most people will ever assume. Miscalculating just how much home you require can cost you thousands of dollars over the life of your mortgage. Try to imagine the myriad of benefits that go along with your smaller space and even smaller mortgage and all of a sudden the idea of less being more takes on a whole new meaning.

For starters, spending less on the actual home permits the homebuyers to redirect their money towards personalizing their living spaces with finer materials and superior craftsmanship, making it distinctively charming and livable. Also keep in mind that quality flooring, finishes, fixtures and furniture are all much more affordable when dealing with a smaller space.

Another major factor driving the smaller spaces trend is a rapid rise in eco-consciousness. The ideal of an enormous house

filled with specialized, rarely used rooms is purely a North American one. If you are sincere about contributing to a sustainable future and reducing your carbon footprint a

smaller home can make the biggest difference. No matter how many Green materials a large home has, its sheer size, unutilized space, and sometimes dysfunctional design make for a very inefficient living space.

Proper Green living almost always results in substantial long-term savings, which is why the positives of living in a smaller habitat continue giving for the entire lifetime of the house, as every room must be furnished, heated, cooled, and so forth.

The environmental positives of a smaller living space are even greater than the financial benefits that you reap. A smaller home means a smaller footprint on the earth, in every measurable way fewer trees cut down, less earth bulldozed, less petroleum burned, less steel mined essentially less usage of every resource. So a smaller living space is an eco home, and using Green materials, appliances and building methods can make it even Greener.

Canadian homebuyers are realizing that a home that expresses your values and thats a joy to live is not a function of square footage. Most of todays larger homes are designed to overwhelm rather than welcome. Homes with cavernous spaces just arent as intimate and comfortable as those that are properly scaled down to the homeowners life. Think of your house as a tailored suit, just big enough to fit you perfectly.

People who are able to make smaller living spaces work, often find themselves with a surplus of time and resources to direct towards other areas of their life such as family, health, career and leisure. Perhaps a smaller home can create a more balanced and enjoyable life for you one that will keep you connected to the things that truly matter.

BINBROOKAn island suburb of Hamilton

W hen it comes to real estate, community development and new home building, one of the best opportunities homebuyers can hope for is an area in transition a place with a strong natural location, good value and signi cant improvement underway through local and regional initiatives.

Time it right, and purchasing in such an area could be priceless.

Welcome to Binbrook, a small but fast-growing community of about 15,000 in the southeastern part of Hamilton. It may not be as well known at least not yet as some of its neighbouring communities such as Stoney Creek, Grimsby and Ancaster, but there is no question Binbrook is a town on the upswing.

As that old real estate adage goes, its all about location, location, location and Binbrook has all that going for it, and more.

Part of the Regional Municipality of Hamilton Wentworth, Binbrook was formerly known as Halls Corners, after Squire Hall, whose store housed the local post o ce. e name was later changed to Binbrook after a village in England.

Amalgamated as part of the City of Hamilton in 2001, Binbrook has since bene ted from the expansive development and economic improvement in the region. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been spent in recent years on infrastructure in and around Hamilton, facilitating easier access to and from the city and neighbouring communities like Binbrook, as well as to other major destinations. Close to the QEW, Binbrook residents and businesses bene t from proximity to St. Catharines, Niagara Falls, Hamilton, Brantford, Cambridge and of course east into Toronto.

Indeed, the recent opening of the Red Hill Expressway made it easier than ever to travel to Toronto or Windsor or Niagara Falls and anywhere in between. e highway runs through Hamilton, connecting the Lincoln M. Alexander Parkway to the QEW near Hamilton Harbour.

Just as this infrastructure facilitates growth and prosperity in the area, so too is it part of important local history. e $245-million expressway was built through the Red Hill

by WAYNE KARL


Valley by the City of Hamilton after a decades-long battle with opponents. It was rst proposed in the 1950s and was cancelled and resurrected several times over the years. Finally, it was built during the 2000s and opened in 2007.

Today, the highway is quite literally a lifeline for Binbrook, leading to commercial and industrial growth and expanding residential population who can now live and work locally, rather than face long commutes to neighboring cities for employment.

So, with such growth and development, Binbrook is primed for prosperity, with a perfect combination of old and new, where city meets country. e area has attracted new business such as big box stores, groceries, auto dealerships and other industry to cater to the growing community.

Indeed, considered something of an island suburb of Hamilton, separated by conservation and agricultural lands, Binbrook is now seeing hundreds of new homes being built in the area. Builders such as Branthaven Homes, Losani Homes and

Empire Communities have a variety of new-home o erings, from detached homes and bungalows, product that appeals to rst-time buyers, families and even empty nesters.

A ordability is the keyword in Binbrook, with average new-home prices much less than those seen in the GTA and even other areas in the region. Branthavens e Fairgrounds community, for example, o ers luxury singles from the high $300s, while Losani Homes has detached homes at various price points.

Besides location, history and value, buyers are also attracted to Binbrook due to the new amenities in the area. is growing community o ers new conveniences that busy families appreciate, from new stores, services and state-of-the-art schools, to a 19-acre park which includes a sports eld, running track, soccer pitch and wooded trail system where residents can jog, walk their dog, push the stroller or just meet up with friendly new neighbours.

Local farmers produce everything from fruits to vegetables, grains and livestock, and many stage Farmers Markets or pick your own opportunities, further building residents relationships with the community and its natural surroundings.

If golf is what youre after, there are plenty of top courses nearby, including the 18-hole Southbrook Golf and Country Club, located on Hwy. 56 in Binbrook.

ere is also the Binbrook Conservation Area, a 396-hectare (978 acre) tract of land owned and operated by the Niagara Peninsula Conservation Authority, with 174 hectares (430 acres) covered by the picturesque Lake Niapenco. e lake is surrounded by open meadows, hardwood forests and reforested areas, as well as a network of hiking trails.

And like many small towns in Ontario, Binbrook also boasts its own annual fair the Binbrook Fair which is approaching its 161st anniversary.

Binbrook is primed for prosperity, with a perfect combination of old and new, where city meets country

The second version is priced at $625,500, and offers a sunshine basement and a large, private deck overlooking mature trees and a peaceful greenbelt. Like the model, its features and finishes offer equal levels of luxury, after all, this is Beechwood. Additional features include interior doors with satin nickel levers, carpeting and under pad, ceramic tile flooring, engineered hardwood and light fixtures.

//COMMUNITY FOCUS

EASTFOREST PRESENTS DESTINATION in Kitcheners Doon community

A home should be a place to relax, to gather with family and friends, a place to seek solace and comfort and, in Kitchener, thanks to Eastforest Homes, your new home is also your everyday Destination.

Just minutes away from all city amenities, Destination Doon, by Eastforest Homes Ltd., offers the homes of your dreams in a setting where nature and city meet. Surrounded by natural habitat and protected aquatic systems, Destination at Doon has it all.

Doon is a highly sought-after neighborhood in Kitchener with its picturesque greenspace and parks. It is known for its walking trails and pathways as well as shopping, recreation, schools and services. Recreational activities are made easy with the nearby Activa Sportsplex and the Doon Valley Golf Course, plus Homer Watson Park and the Waterloo Region Museum. Protected marshland surrounds Destination and its sister community of Doon South. Highway access is more than convenient putting Destination Doon within minutes of Hwy. 401 and Hwys. 7 and 8 through to Waterloo and the lure of day tripping hot spots such as St. Jacobs, Elmira, Elora and Fergus.

The homes are as much a Destination as the community, offering detached two-storey homes with three and four bedrooms to the delightful Chelsey bungalow of 1,300 sq. ft.,

perfect for empty nesters. You can find lots from 30-, 36-, 40- and 45 ft. in width ranging from 1,525 to 3,347 sq. ft. Along with the current townhomes, Eastforest Homes plans a future release of semi-detached homes to complement the community and complete the Destination.

Three new model homes have opened to showcase Destination living. The popular Iris and Indigo models were designed for those who want room to grow and room to live. Both of these well-designed plans offer the flexibility of three- or four-bedroom options, while the Indigo can be transformed to a five-bedroom home, or enjoys an upper level lounge and additional family room over the garage. The Tilia Model is a grand home with a gracious 2,700 sq. ft. of living space and four bedrooms on a 40-ft. lot. As with these Signature Series homes on 40- and 45-ft. lots, this home includes standard features such as nine-ft. ceilings on the main floor, granite counters in the kitchen, hardwoods and ceramics.

Annual BILD Awards RECOGNIZE THE BEST IN THE GTAS BUILDING AND DEVELOPMENT INDUSTRY

More than 1,100 members of the Building Industry and Land Development Association (BILD) gathered to celebrate the industrys best on April 24.

The 35th annual BILD Awards recognize the GTAs best new-home communities, builders, developers and sales and marketing professionals in 36 unique categories. This years competition saw close to 1,000 submissions, which were evaluated by a panel of international judges.

Mattamy Homes took home the evenings biggest event Home Builder of the Year for the second year in a row. This is the sixth time that Mattamy has received this award.

The Home Builder of the Year award recognizes the builder who sets the standard for the rest of the industry by their leadership in improving the overall image of building and development in the GTA. Each nominee is required to submit a list of 75 recent home occupants who are asked to submit a customer satisfaction survey a key component in this categorys judging process.

The continued satisfaction of Mattamys home purchasers is a true testament to the quality of the communities they create across the GTA, says BILD president and CEO Bryan Tuckey.

The Green Builder of the Year, Highrise award was presented to Tridel for the sixth time in nine years. The company delivered almost 2,000 Green condominium homes in 2014, and currently has an additional 3,200 under construction. Tridels sites now divert 85 to 90 per cent of construction waste from landfills to recycling facilities.

On the lowrise side, the Green Builder of the Year title was awarded to Sean. The

builders commitment to sustainability starts with the marketing campaign, which featured only digital brochures and floor plans to minimize paper. Manuals for contractors and homeowners were also provided to help educate them on low-impact development infrastructure and how to maximize usage of the homes energy-efficiency through proper maintenance.

YC Condos, a condominium development in downtown Toronto by Canderel Residential Inc., was selected Highrise Project of the Year. Meanwhile Mattamy Homes won the Project of the Year award in the lowrise category for The Preserve in Oakville.

The Peoples Choice Award was presented to T he Academy by LeMine Investment Group and Devron Developments. The award saw industry professionals and the general public vote for their favourite entry among Project of the Year finalists from highrise and lowrise categories. More than 85,000 votes were recorded.

In a special presentation, Colin J. Parsons was honoured with the prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award. The award is the Associations highest honour, recognizing and celebrating excellence within the building and development industry. Parsons served as the Associations President 35 years ago, in 1978.
