The Building:

This landmark tower at the entry to downtown on Seymour and Drake offers a unique addition to the Vancouver skyline while maintaining its ground level heritage roots. Refreshing, bold and distinctive.

The sharp modern exterior architecture has been designed to maximize the ocean and southern views from almost every suite. This stunning contemporary design makes Élan Vancouver standout from other Yaletown towers.

A modern contemporary entrance and lobby give the Elan fresh looks that treat residents and visitors with a taste of luxury and class while be completely functional.

The finish of Elan suites can be compared to other-high end downtown condominiums found in Coal Harbour or in waterfront locations.

Spectacular views at Elan Vancouver are a true feature of this building. The building was designed with a focus on having as many suites facing stretches of Vancouver’s waterfront as possible. Maximum window space and balconies make suites bright and inviting.

Building amenities include recreation center, cardio room, yoga studio, sauna and steam room, 3 elevators, visitor parking, games and meeting room.

This modern designed tower is located in the heart of Vancouver’s downtown and part of the Yaletown district known for up-scale living spaces, great restaurants, and trendy shops.

The Neighborhood:

Yaletown is Vancouver’s trendy and upscale renovated warehouse district. This fresh urban neighbourhood is just an easy walk from the centre of downtown Vancouver or a quick ferry ride from Granville Island.

Yaletown’s converted heritage buildings are home to some of city’s top fashion and design shops, as well as cutting edge restaurants and bars. Old loading docks act as giant sidewalks and create a unique setting for wandering, shopping, or lounging at one of the many outdoor patios.

The Yaletown population has grown considerably in the last decade, and consists primarily of young professionals in their late 20s to late 30s. Although there are significantly fewer children in Yaletown than Metro Vancouver as a whole, many young families choose to stay in the area until the time comes to purchase a larger home.

Artists and sales and service people also populate the neighbourhood.

While Yaletown became renowned for multimedia offices during the dot com boom, it now houses a broader array of businesses and its population reflects this.

Mainland, Hamilton and Homer Streets are replete with hair and nail salons, boutique clothing and gift stores, lifestyle and home furnishing stores, restaurants, and lounges.

Check out Blo Blow Dry Bar or Bombay Brows for some pampering, Bobo's Philosophy Hair salon for cool haircuts and styles or Atomic Model for a selection of original clothing.

Fine Finds also features clothing and accessories by local and international designers, and a selection of gifts that rivals that of Beauty Mark down the street.

For vintage finds, stop by Retro Rock Vintage Clothing on Davie and Seymour, arguably one of the best vintage stores within the downtown area.

Urban Fare, Choices Market and Nester’s Market serve the community with a large variety of grocery options, from gourmet to organic to locally grown products.

With an aging population, investors should look to seniors’ residences for solid investments, especially as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) reports a drop in the national vacancy rate to 9.7 per cent for 2014.

“While the total number of spaces for seniors increased in 2014, this was slightly outpaced by an increase in the total number of residents,” says Bruno Duhamel, manager of housing and economic analysis for the CMHC. “This led to a slight decrease in the overall vacancy rate in 2014.”

The number of rooms available for rent in seniors’ residences increased by 5.2 per cent to 219,052 units in 2014, while the number of residents increased by 6.2 per cent to 218,650. As a result, the vacancy rate fell to 9.7 per cent in 2014, from 10.3 percent in 2013.

Newfoundland and Labrador, and Ontario recorded the highest vacancy rates for standard spaces where residents do not require more than 1.5 hours of care, at 22.6 per cent and 13.9 per cent, respectively. The lowest vacancy rates were recorded in Manitoba (4.6 per cent) and in Quebec (7.5 per cent).

Investors will also be happy to know that rent for standard spaces also increased across the country, rising 2.4 per cent to $2,043 per month. Average rent is the lowest in Quebec and Manitoba -  $1,497 per month and $1,815 per month, respectively – and highest in Prince Edward Island and Ontario, at $2,782 and $2, 776 per month, respectively.

Vacancy rates in heavy care spaces – which offer expanded services for residents with dementia, Alzheimer’s, mobility issues and other health problems – were relatively flat, with declines in British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec offset by rises in Ontario and Saskatchewan.

Confidence flying high in Canada

 

It’s a day of celebration in Canada and especially in the real estate market, according to a new report.

After a long winter and tumultuous few years, confidence amongst buyers and sellers in real estate is at a five year-high.

Optimism about real estate surged has surged in the last month, with buyers finally awakening after a long and slow winter.

The Bloomberg Nanos Canadian Confidence Index climbed to 59.2 for the week ended June 27, from 58.5 in the prior period. The percentage of respondents who believe home values in their neighborhood will increase in the next six months rose to 44.1, the highest since the fourth quarter of 2009.

Optimism about personal finances and the economy also increased, according to the survey-based index.

“Looking at the key drivers of consumer sentiment over the past six years, it is clear that positive views of real estate is a key factor in Canadian consumer confidence,” said Nik Nanos, chairman of Ottawa-based polling firm Nanos Research Group.

Job security, however, for some is still uneasy. The proportion who say they feel at least somewhat secure about their jobs dropped to 68.8 percent, the lowest since May 30, from 69.2 percent.
