Why Buy a Condo?

According to the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), the condominium market is the fastest growing sector of the residential real estate market. In some parts of the country, one out of three new homes built is a condominium. The reasons for this are largely demographic. Young professionals are becoming more business savvy when it comes to spending their hard-earned dollars on rent. Many prefer to purchase a condominium where they can enjoy the freedom and benefits of apartment-style living while building equity instead of watching their money go down the drain every month. Baby boomers are becoming empty nesters and are looking to downsize their housing requirements. Many condominiums have enhanced security features over those found in single family dwellings. Condominiums can be complete communities within one complex offering a wide range of social, entertainment and recreational activities. Condominium living gives you the freedom to travel and not worry about security and maintenance. From sweeping to shovelling, and gardening to painting, you'll never have to worry about keeping your property in perfect condition - for yourself or your guests.

Soundproof Environmentally Friendly Construction

Sunshine Terrace was constructed using structural insulated panels (SIPs) which provide excellent soundproofing and energy saving qualities. SIPs create a tighter building envelope than conventional insulation and according to the Structural Insulated Panel Association (SIPA), SIPs keep costs down season after season, year after year, for as long as you own your home.

But there is more to SIPs than energy savings. The laminated "sandwich" construction of SIPs has provided buildings with great wind and seismic resistance, snow loading and soundproofing characteristics. By eliminating a large portion of conventional wood framing, SIPs can use "approximately 35 percent less raw lumber in home construction, generating less manufacturing and construction waste," according to the SIPA. SIP's can help lower energy bills and decrease noise by as much as two-thirds compared to ordinary frame walls with conventional insulation. Building with SIPs also reduces the use of lumber and provides an extremely energy efficient product. The result is a 25 to 50 percent energy savings over traditional stud-wall or steel-frame dwellings (www.greenbuildingsolutions.org).
