By BuzzBuzzHome’s Resident Economics Guru There’s no doubt that the Canadian housing market is hot. Some industry experts say it’s overheating, but then again, we’ve been hearing that for a while. In any case, the Feds are on it. Jim Flaherty announced this morning that the Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) will now be supervised by the Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions (OSFI).
We popped out to Yorkville yesterday to get a look at The Perry‘s presentation centre. It was only a couple days ago that we first buzzed about the project so we were super keen on seeing the scale model and vignettes ourselves. The Mansouri Living development is located on the northern cusp of Yorkville on Pears Avenue. Luxury is the name of the game when it comes to Yorkville developments and The Perry is certainly no exception.
Get your deposits ready, because Easton by Allaire Properties is having a Super Saturday one day blow-out event on May 12. It’s your chance to save over $20,000 off the list price for one day only, but keep in mind the project is already 75 per cent sold out. The early bird definitely gets the condo in this case. The West Coquitlam project is located 5 minutes from the future Burquitlam Station on the highly-anticipated Evergreen line of the Skytrain. … Read More

We’re always keeping our eyes and ears finely tuned to the world of new developments, and every now and then stumble upon something pretty cool and out of the ordinary. The latest project to catch our eye is the unique Watermark at Bearspaw by Macdonald Development Corp. So what makes this project so different? Located super close to Calgary by the Bow River and Bearspaw Reservoir, Watermark features 108 easy to manage homesites ranging from 1/4 acre to 1 acre.
Trapp and Holbrook by The Salient Group has plenty of reason to celebrate this week, as a grant received in 2004 to rebuild the currently crumbling building façade has been extended. The city originally approved $50,000 for a façade improvement, and $210,000 for seismic upgrades through grant programs. The project originally intended to preserve the entire building, resulting in a mix of retail and residential spaces. Although the building couldn’t be conserved as originally planned due to structural conditions, the … Read More
At last week’s awe-inspiring Trump Toronto ribbon cutting ceremony we managed to have a quick chat with Dan Menchions of II BY IV Design Associates. Mr. Menchions is one of the masterminds behind the design vision at the uber-swanky Trump Toronto so of course we were very curious to hear what he thought about the finished product. II BY IV started their design work in 2007 and have since created an aesthetic that embodies the height of luxury. We could … Read More
