If you’ve purchased a fancy gym
membership for 2015 and are already
fi nding it hard to stick to your new
regime, you may have wasted a lot of
cash. But what if your fi tness centre
was in your building – would you get
better value?
Amenities in today’s new condo mar-
ket have reached new heights, with
full-size fi tness centres, pools, rooftop
patios with barbecues, lounges with
chef’s kitchens, guest suites and other
common-use areas expanding your
home beyond its four walls. Developers
are selling more than just homes –
they’re selling a lifestyle.
But amenities don’t come for free –
they can add to your purchase price
and strata fees. So when is it a good
idea to purchase a home with lots of
extras and when are you better off
sticking with that local fi tness centre
membership?
Hani Lammam with Cressey
Development Group advises buyers to
purchase homes where there are as
many amenities as possible – provided
they can aff ord the asking price and the
associated strata fees.
“There is a maintenance cost associ-
ated with amenities,” he says, “but they
can also protect your resale value.”
Cressey is currently conducting pre-
sales on Beverley in White Rock, which
will include a two-storey club featur-
ing a fi tness centre, steam room and
pools. The development also includes a
lounge, guest suite, garden, patio and
playground.
“It’s diffi cult to say how much the
fi tness centre adds to the [purchase]
cost of each unit at Beverley,” says
Lammam, “but it’s a very small percent-
age because it is spread out among all
the owners. It’s likely less than fi ve per
cent. In terms of additional monthly
fees, it depends on what’s included.
‘Wet’ amenities, such as hot tubs and
pools, can add 15 per cent to your
strata fees.”
With the price of a high-end annu-
al gym membership running around
$1,000, taking that hit to your monthly
strata fees can be a good investment,
according to Katie Dunsworth-Reiach,
personal fi nance expert and co-founder
of Smart Cookies. Strata fees for larger
units run around $5,300 a year, with 15
per cent (about $800) paying for ame-
nities. That’s substantially less than a
private club. And with an estimated 60
per cent of annual gym memberships
purchased in January going unused by
mid-February, Dunsworth-Reiach notes
it is also important to consider long-
term value.
Cressey isn’t alone in off ering a wide
array of amenities to attract potential
buyers.
Shato Holdings and Talisman Homes’
Tsawwassen Springs will include a golf
course, wellness centre and clubhouse.
The developers aim to keep strata fees
low by using a pay-as-you-go system
for things like green fees and the fi t-
ness centre.
In downtown Vancouver, the 333-
unit Tate Downtown by the Bonds
Group of Companies
will off er residents a
concierge, a private
theatre, lounge, bil-
liards room, library,
yoga and pilates studio
and fi tness centre.
And the owners at Anthem
Properties’ Station Square in Burnaby
will enjoy almost an acre of elevated
private green space along with com-
munity garden plots, a Tai Chi area, a
fully-equipped gym and yoga studio,
steam room and infrared sauna, plus
a lounge with a gourmet kitchen and
shared electric cars.
Empty-nesters downsizing from
detached homes to condos can fi nd
amenities especially appealing – and
cost eff ective. With a guest suite in your
building, there’s no need to spend extra
on a unit with an additional bedroom.
Common areas such as lounges and
kitchens provide entertainment spaces
for larger events, something your new
living space may not allow for.
“Amenities add to the value of
your home and can save you money,”
says Dunsworth-Reiach. “Buyers need
to determine what these add to the
strata fees and compare that to their
bottom line.”

We had our home listed with another realtor for over one year, we were getting very frustrated to say the least, a good friend of ours that just sold their house through Dave recommended that we contact him as he sold their property in 2 weeks for over the asking price.
Dave was able to sell our home in just over a month for very close to our asking price, we were ex-tremely impressed with the marketing plan Dave created for our home, everything was top notch!

Real estate in Vancouver’s tony
Westside is hard to come by. One of
the most exciting and luxurious Boutique
Developments to be built in the heart
of this prestigious neighbourhood is
Kerrisdale Gardens.
In one of the best postal codes on
Vancouver’s Westside, Kerrisdale Gardens
is an exquisite collection of 27 Designer
Residences, featuring two bedroom ter-
raced suites and one bedroom, den and
fl ex space condominiums. Behind the
Kerrisdale Gardens are the award-win-
ning European-infl uenced designers from
Riesco & Lapres. “For years, Riesco &
Lapres has been beautifying the homes
of Kerrisdale residents in ways that speak
directly to the heart,” says Charan Sidhu
of Otezs Project Marketing. “They know
the subtleties of what makes a home fi t in
this stunning neighbourhood.”
In addition to its prime location, you
couldn’t ask for fi ner fi nishes: nine foot
ceilings (10 foot in the penthouses), engi-
neered hardwood fl ooring, luxurious wool
blend carpeting, custom millwork, expan-
sive windows to bring lots of natural light
in, European-inspired epicurean kitchens
and Zen-inspired bathrooms. The kitch-
ens feature custom designed cabinetry,
top-of-the-line stainless steel appliances,
including a Fhiaba fully integrated refrig-
erator, marble countertops with ¾ edge
fi nish and under-the-cabinet puck light-
ing.
“While many people are currently
downsizing from their large single family
homes to more convenient one-level liv-
ing, the suites here have been designed
with that in mind,” Sidhu says. “We often
hear from downsizers that they don’t want
to compromise their lifestyle, especially
when guests are coming. Inviting people
for dinner, family and friends, many con-
dos lack a proper dining area. This feature
has been incorporated into many of the
homes without needing to entertain the
highest priced or largest unit.” One of
its most unique and sought-after features
are the gardens on the second fl oor. This
quiet and enchanting private oasis off ers
incredible outdoor space for the residenc-
es that face into this courtyard, of which
there are only two left. Truly, this is one of
the best outdoor havens you will fi nd in a
condominium building. The discriminat-
ing people who have already purchased a
home in Kerrisdale Gardens have boasted
about the access to some of the province’s
top schools, both public and private, the
walkability of the neighourhood and the
penthouses with private garages in the
underground.
Each homeowner can feel safe knowing
the four-storey building off ers two levels
of secure gated underground parking,
plenty of secured storage lockers and
ample bike storage. Convenience contin-
ues with two elevators for residents to
access their homes. As one of the oldest
and most distinguished neighbourhoods
in Vancouver you will fi nd plenty of ame-
nities including transit, top rated schools
and recreational opportunities, all within
easy walking or driving distance. Then
there’s high-fashion to patisseries, gour-
met cheeses to European décor, including
such popular spots as Secret Garden for
afternoon tea and neighbourhood favou-
rite, the Red Onion Neighbourhood Grill.
These elegant, single-family home
inspired residences must be seen to be
fully appreciated. The sales centre, locat-
ed at 2128 West 40th Ave., Vancouver, is
open by private appointment only. With
only 14 available, these condominiums
won’t last. Your brand new home will be
move-in ready in Spring 2015.
