Focus on Development

 If you are looking for a great place to live and work Kitchener-Waterloo may be just the place for you.  It is a community that can offer plenty plus it is only a stones throw from the amenities of city life in Toronto.  Kitchener boasts some of the country’s top-ranked colleges and universities.  It is still close enough to the Pearson airport which is very convenient for travel.  Plus there is also a huge focus on business growth and development within the highly educated workforce.

Brampton Is Feeling The Crunch

By Rob Parker at 12:05 pm on March 17, 2008 | No comments

Not long ago the city of Brampton had no constraints on the development of condos and houses within the city limits.  This has consequently lead to an overloaded infrastructure, overextended schools and local municipalities that are struggling to keep up with the demand.  City officials now have a cap on housing and condo development and there is some ease.  Despite the masses and the lack of sufficient public transit, Brampton is still a highly sought after condo market due to its affordability compared to its neighbouring cities like Mississauga.

 The critics have been going on and on about the topic for months, even years.  How long can Canada’s real estate market continue to escalate?  This past month, it celebrates its tenth anniversary, that is the best records in a decade of continual growth.  Historically home buyers have never had it so good for so long.  According to research, the average price of a home in Toronto in 2007 was roughly $211,000.  Now in 2008, the average consumer can expect to pay on average $376 000 within the city of Toronto.

Big Boxes Coming Your Way

By Rob Parker at 7:21 am on March 14, 2008 | No comments

Toronto is implementing a new garbage plan and will be delivering blue boxes to the residents throughout the city.  First residents of Riverdale were mailed a card and asked to select a size of blue box they required.  Three different sized options are available.  These new sizes are being made available to help encourage recycling not only for the environment but also since Toronto has plans to ask residents to pay a fee for any solid waste they have above the allocated amount.
