//EDITORS NOTE
Weve experienced a deep freeze through much of February a period
we often associate with blahs, but also a month worth celebrating,
given that its the shortest of the year, and March and spring soon
follow. And while the deadline for 2014 Registered Retirement
Savings Plan contributions isnt until March 2, and April 30 for
filing your 2014 income tax return, perhaps we need to start
thinking of February in a different light altogether.
Indeed, heeding the advice of experts, perhaps tax time should
instead be a year-round task. From making regular RRSP
contributions to comparing RRSPs and tax-
free savings accounts to learning of the various credits
available, tax planning for some is as necessary as the inevitable
taxes themselves.
Preparing as best you can throughout the year might help
minimize the sting come deadline time and help you learn to embrace
the opportunities to save, not just fear what you have to pay.
Tax time embrace itPreparing for this unsavoury topic earlier
helps reduce the sting at deadline time
S hopping for a home online is a great way to narrow your
search, but theres nothing like visiting the sites, models and
sales o ces to get down to the nitty-gritty. Before you venture
out, here are some pointers:
First, be clear about what you want and expect in a new home and
in your builder.
Remember, the range of prices in the new-home market generally
re ects di erences in location, features and home styles. eres no
magic involved. If a builders pricing seems out of whack with
others in the area, ask for an explanation. Higher prices could
mean better quality materials, nishings, features and service. Make
sure that
the price you are paying will deliver the quality you
want.Second, understand exactly what is included with the home you
are buying
and what is optional. Ask the sales representative to show you
samples, and request a spec sheet that clearly lists what is
included, as well as any upgrade options.
ird, evaluate any promises that have been made during your
visit. Is the builder prepared to put them in writing? Hearsay
comments should not be included as part of your evaluation process.
Sit down with your sales representative, ask questions and discuss
your Agreement of Purchase and Sale in detail then take it to a
lawyer before its nalized.
Three simple steps to successConsider these pointers before
heading out on your search

BRANTHAVEN HOMES | Jazz
Open-concept spaces are wrapped in large windows, with wide
glass balconies that blur the distinction between the inside and
the spectacular outdoor setting.
Jazzs spacious two-bedroom plans soar from 820 to 1,325 sq. ft.
with the extension of expansive balconies. Some units have stunning
wraparound windows and Central Park-style terraces. The two-bedroom
and two-bedroom plus den units are perfect for people looking for a
carefree, turnkey lifestyle, says Doreen Coughlin, Branthavens
veteran sales agent. Only a handful of one-bedroom plus den layouts
remain, ranging from 657 to 770 sq. ft.
Jazz is a really unique offering, adds Stipsits. Its right in
tempo with the lifestyle preferences of todays knowledgeable condo
buyers. Jazz delivers leading edge modern design, smart layouts and
attainable luxury in perfect harmony.
Feedback has been extraordinary, especially in response to
Branthavens proprietary Fresh Thinking features that distinguish
Jazz from ordinary condominiums. Kitchens are loaded with smart
extras including enhanced storage, under-cabinet mounts for iPads
(perfect for browsing recipes or providing the soundtrack to
another great meal) and super pantries with a cutlery roller and
customizable peg organizer drawers. Bathrooms have been treated
with spa-style trimmings deep soaker tubs with square edges,
floating vanities, sleek shower shelves and cultured marble
counters.
Fresh Thinking is just one of the reasons Jazz is hitting the
high notes in Burlington.
Jazz offers building amenities that are certain to strike the
right chord with todays consumer. Featuring a social library/lounge
and a club-style bar, the gathering spaces at Jazz are the perfect
venue for meeting up with friends. Residents can work up a sweat in
the fitness/yoga studio. The feeling is intimate yet communal an
ensemble thats right in tune with modern life. Each amenity space
has been thoughtfully incorporated into Jazz based on the way
people live and their actual lifestyle preferences theres no wasted
space with features that go unused and condo fees are among the
lowest in the region as a result.
Jazz is located just minutes from Burlingtons liveliest
streetscape, where patios, restaurants and shopping venues abound.
If hiking and nature are more your groove; explore the exhibits and
events at the nearby Royal Botanical Gardens, or savour the beauty
of the Niagara Escarpments breathtaking views on a nature
trail.
Two-bedroom suites are attainably priced from the $300s.
One-bedroom plus den suites are from the $280s. The sales office is
located at 457 Plains Rd. E. in Burlington. Sales centre hours are
Monday through Thursday from 1 to 6 p.m., closed Fridays and open

//IN THE NEWS
New Horizon expands LAKEFRONT CONDO FOOTPRINT IN BURLINGTON
New Horizon Development Group has made another splash in the
Lake Ontario waterfront condo market by acquiring Bridgewater
Residences on the Lake, two luxurious condominium buildings and a
four-star hotel, initially launched under the Mady Development
Group banner.
New Horizon Development Groups aim is to have Bridgewater
Residences set the mark for luxury condominium properties in
Burlington. Throughout Southwestern Ontario, there is only a
limited supply of waterfront condominiums with unobstructed views
of Lake Ontario, says New Horizon president Jeff Paikin. To be able
to offer this level of world-class elegance on such a pristine
piece of land is a game changer for both our company and the city
of Burlington.
Paikins unwavering belief in the project was quite apparent, as
he and his wife were amongst the first to purchase at the
development, long before there was any indication that Mady
Development Group was looking to sell its stake in the signature
site. Simply being one of the initial purchasers was a source of
immense pride and excitement for my entire family. Those emotions
are now exponentially amplified as I find myself and our team at
New Horizon in the perfect position to ensure the realization of
Charles Madys inspired dream, says Paikin.
Burlington Mayor Rick Goldring shared Paikins fervor recently,
as New Horizons team met with existing Bridgewater purchasers to
officially announce their stewardship, at the Bridgewater
Presentation Centre. Its no secret that the city of Burlington has
been anxiously awaiting a landmark building to punctuate the
downtown skyline, says Goldring. The distinguished 22-storey tower
perfectly fits the bill.
Bridgewater Residences will feature two residential condominium
buildings, consisting of 120 condo units between the two towers,
retail space at the ground level, plus what will be the citys first
four-star, full-service hotel. The new Delta hotel will offer 152
guest rooms and suites, approximately 8,000 sq. ft. of conference
space, including a 3,000-sq.-ft. main ballroom and combination of
executive boardroom-style meeting rooms, a full-service restaurant
and lounge, an indoor pool and a state-of-the-art fitness centre.
All of the hotel amenities will be available to condo purchasers,
including room service and maid service to all of the suites.
The entire development will boast lavishly appointed interiors
courtesy of Canadas most celebrated interior designer, Brian
Gluckstein. Named Canadas Favourite Interior Designer, Gluckstein
has incorporated his high-style line of home furnishings and
finishes to ensure the inside of each
suite, as well as the luxurious amenity spaces, offer a calm
elegance indicative of the projects prestige and prominence.
Respected for its superior site selection and hands-on
management approach, New Horizon Development Groups project
portfolio already enjoys the distinction of being amongst the most
well-received in this regions history. The companys most recent
success in the condo arena includes record-breaking sales results
achieved in Burlington, Oakville, Stoney Creek and Hamilton. This
past year marked the companys 20th anniversary, a milestone that
Paikin attributes to the continued patronage of their extremely
loyal following of satisfied homeowners.
Twenty years ago we promised to build a unique real estate
business, focused on creating value through hard work, attention to
buyers needs, excellent craftsmanship and design, and belief in the
Southwestern Ontario market, Paikin says. Today, as we look at our
portfolio and our track record, we know we can celebrate our 20th
anniversary with immense joy at the fulfillment of our promise,
while looking ahead to a future that builds on this commitment.

Why not plan for springtime AT BW HOMES VICTORIA VILLAGE?
S now wont be around forever, so when it finally fades away, why
not plan to welcome spring from a new home at Victoria Village on
the banks of the Welland Canal in St. Catharines?
Living in the Garden City is as picturesque as it sounds,
especially adjacent to the canal where banks of wildflowers will
soon be in bloom to line its pathway. Along with tulips, daffodils
and crocuses, new homes at Victoria Village are also popping out of
the ground as construction continues and homes are prepared for
spring closings. Just ask the well-informed sales staff about how
soon you can embark on a fresh new lifestyle at Victoria
Village.
Youll want to be unpacked and settled in to enjoy all that the
Niagara Peninsula offers like the Folk Arts Festival and Blossom
Festival this spring. Soon farmers markets will be back in full
force providing plenty of fare for barbecue season. All of your
entertainment tastes can be met at Casino Niagara, Shaw Festival
and Brock Universitys Centre for the Arts, while wineries along The
Wine Route offer a great afternoon destination. This St. Catharines
location also offers a new slate of amenities that include the new
Meridian Centre downtown, the new Kiwanis Aquatic Centre on Carlton
Street and soon, the citys new performing arts centre.
Victoria Village is the citys other waterfront; an active
persons paradise for blading, running or hiking and, of course,
biking nearby trails are part of the Greater Niagara Cycle Route.
Walk the dog, walk the stroller or walk hand in hand with your
sweetheart.
This is a waterfront community like no other, located steps from
the Welland Canal Pathway. Thats right, not minutes, moments, or a
short drive but steps right across the street from this world
famous waterway. Watch a spectacular parade of ships from
international waters as they climb the staircase of locks from Lock
1 to 7.
Its a two-minute drive from the QEW so residents can reach
Buffalo in a heartbeat and Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake
even faster. There is lots of shopping to do at the newly opened
Niagara Outlet Mall. With it being five minutes away, residents are
literally around the corner and yet will be spared the hustle and
bustle of traffic congestion.
Presented by Bayview-Wellington Homes, Victoria Village presents
fine living within luxury homes in this Maritime-influenced
community. Not far from its flagship, golf course community of
Niagara-On-The-Green, Victoria Village pays homage to soldiers
awarded the Victoria Cross through its street names.

H amilton may be only less than an hours drive west along the
Queen Eliza-beth Way, but it has long lived in the shadows of its
big city neighbour Toronto. Long known as Steeltown, The Hammer and
other less-than-complementary
monikers, Hamilton has undergone a fundamental transformation
that has the city poised for long-term prosperity.
For homebuyers considering purchasing in the area, there are
good reasons to consider Hamilton. The city has been cited as among
Canadas most welcoming areas, particularly for first-time
buyers.
The Real Estate Investment Network, for example, has named
Hamilton as the top real estate investment town in all of Ontario
through to 2018. Continuing diversification of the citys economy,
coupled with increased accessibility provided by the transportation
improvements, provides a strong economic base, the group says. In a
few short years, Hamiltons economy will be unrecognizable compared
to past decades.
In recent years, Hamilton has seen significant expansion in
sectors such as health care and post-secondary education,
offsetting a historical reliance on steel manufacturing. Indeed,
Hamiltons economy today is much more diversified than the Hammer of
old.
Economic growth in Hamilton is strong. The Conference Board of
Canada, in its Metropolitan Outlook Winter 2014, cited the
Hamilton-Burlington economy as one of the fastest growing in
Ontario for 2014 forecast to grow 2.5 per cent.
Hamiltons gross domestic product (GDP) is being boosted by
renewed demand for steel and growth in several other manufacturing
industries.
Hamiltons housing market will experience steady demand in 2015,
as homebuyers moving to the city and increasing job creation
support strong existing homes sales,
HAMILTONGrowing economy, strong housing market, bright future by
WAYNE KARL
according to Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. (CMHC).
The housing market will benefit from more people moving into
than out of Hamilton, says Abdul Kargbo, CMHCs senior market
analyst for Hamilton and Brantford. These out-of-town buyers and a
tight resale market will continue to support house prices.
Growing housing demand is leading to residential intensification
through infill and redevelopment, with multi-unit housing rising to
56 per cent of starts in 2015 and 2016, up from 44 per cent in
2011.
Non-residential projects underway in the region include major
expansions in the health care sector, and millions of dollars spent
on infrastructure improvements. A new rapid transit system is also
being studied, which is expected to further benefit already
improving inter-city travel.

The city is working with Metrolinx, the provincial body
responsible for expanding transit in the GTA and Hamilton area, and
is awaiting a final recommendation for the project.
Other recent significant industrial news includes Canada Breads
new $100-million, 375,000-sq.-ft. bakery in the citys industrial
park in Glanbrook, replacing three smaller operations in Toronto.
The project is to create 300 permanent jobs, as well as 120
construction and 31 seasonal positions.
Columbian Chemical also recently announced a major expansion of
carbon black production at its plant in Hamilton.
Beyond these industrial expansions, Hamilton is also seeing a
marked increase in other types of businesses moving into the
downtown area. Much of the employment growth, in fact, is taking
place in creative services, education, professional-scientific and
health care.
CMHC says job prospects are expected to continue to improve, and
Hamilton will likely fare better than other Ontario markets due to
its increasingly diverse base of industries, which keep the labour
market more balanced.
Thanks to billions of dollars in infrastructure improvements
around and within the city, as well as expanded GO Train services,
the new Hamilton is becoming more accessible as well as desirable.
Buyers can acquire more affordable property here and commute to
Toronto, or other neighbouring communities such as Burlington,
Oakville or Mississauga. An emerging condominium market provides
buyers with an even more affordable entry into Hamilton.
Developers see this potential and a number of new projects are
underway from all of Sonoma Homes, Losani Homes, Empire
Communities, Multi-Area Developments, New Horizon Homes, Spallacci
Homes and Country Green Homes, with many aimed at first-time buyers
and priced accordingly.
Hamilton also has plenty going for it in terms of culture and
entertainment. It is home to the Royal Botanical Gardens, a major
tourist attraction and significant local and regional
horticultural, education, conservation and scientific resource.
The city is also home to the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontarios
third largest public gallery.
For sports enthusiasts, theres the Hamilton Tiger Cats of the
Canadian Football League, and the Hamilton Bulldogs of the American
Hockey League and play out of Copps Coliseum. Copps, located
downtown, which also serves as a venue for concerts and other
events.
If living in the city is not exactly your favour, development is
also leading to growth in adjacent areas such as Ancaster, Dundas,
Flamborough, Glanbrook and Stoney Creek. Empire Communities, Homes
by DeSantis, Losani Homes, Branthaven Homes, Mattamy Homes,
Rosehaven Homes and other builders all have communities under way
in these towns.
