| 8:10 Interview with Q Residential re: housing for Syrian Refugees
Chris Hawley, Vice President of Operations at Q Residential joins us by phone from their Toronto head office. John Lago is the company president. Toronto, ON (Dec. 9, 2015) – Q Residential is pleased to announce that it will be making available 150 newly renovated apartment suites in Ottawa to arriving Syrian refugee families, over the next several months. Q Residential owns and manages over 7,000 rental units in the Greater Toronto Area and the National Capital Region. The two and three bedroom suites being made available range in size from 1,050 square feet to 1,150 square feet, and are in two high-rise towers adjacent to each other. Each suite will have a new refrigerator and a new stove. In addition, to help the newly arrived immigrants furnish their homes, Q Residential is providing each family with a $3,000 gift certificate for use at The Brick. “Where will we live is a question foremost on the minds of these new immigrants and we are pleased that our company has been able to provide an address for these families,” said John Lago, President of Q Residential. “It is fortunate that our renovation schedule is allowing us to make these units available during this time.” “We look forward to working with all the public and private agencies and sponsoring groups, as we welcome our new tenants,” Lago added. In addition to the apartments and the $3,000 gift certificate, Q Residential is also making available the common space rooms in each building. This will allow the new tenants to have meetings with social services staff, sponsors and other supporters, as well as just gather as a community. The property, located at 1240-1244 Donald Street in Ottawa, is conveniently situated near public transportation, schools, parks and shopping. "The rent for refugees at Donald Street will be $1,095 for a two-bedroom and $1,195 for a three-bedroom apartment, utilities included. That’s a savings of about $50 a month on rent, and another $30 to $40 a month on utilities, which are normally paid by the tenant, said Lago." "The company is working with the Catholic Centre for Immigrants, which runs a reception house for government-sponsored refugees, Maison Sophia, and helps to find them a place to live. As Syrian refugees arrive in town over the next three months, they’ll be offered units in the complex." "Lago said the company, which bought the properties about five months ago and is in the midst of renovations, saw it as a "perfect opportunity" to step up. By offering suites in the two buildings adjacent to each other, the newcomers would have a "sense of community," he said." "Ottawa rental vacancy rate highest of urban centres in Ontario OTTAWA — Ottawa apartments on both sides of the provincial border are sitting empty, according to rental vacancy rates released Thursday by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC). On the Ontario side, 3.7 per cent of apartments are without occupants, and four per cent in Gatineau. That represents a 1.6-percentage point increase for Ottawa and a nearly doubled rate for Gatineau, when comparing April of this and last year. Ottawa’s trouble finding occupants is reflected in the Ontario and Quebec provincial averages which, despite being lower than the city’s rate, have been increasing as well. They sit at 2.6 and 3.1 per cent, respectively. The rental apartment numbers don’t tell the whole story, says Canadian Federation of Apartment Associations president John Dickie. The CMHC report doesn’t include rented condos, houses, duplexes or other spaces in buildings smaller than three units. This so-called ‘secondary rental market’ can account for up to half of urban centres’ rental options. It tends to be higher in vacancies and lower in rent, too. The rates aren’t a matter of supply — that number is virtually unchanged — but demand, reports the housing corporation. CMHC points to high unemployment among under-25-year-olds as a cause of the rise in vacancies. Almost 75 per cent of them still live in the family home, according to recent census data. Decreasing net migration to Ontario is also to blame, explains CMHC. Immigrant arrivals, who tend to be renters, have slowed and Ontario residents are leaving the province for jobs in resource-rich areas. Weakening first-time home buyer demand and increasing employment opportunity for people aged 25-34 helps keep the vacancy rates from climbing far past its 1.5 to three per cent ‘normal’ zone. Still, Ottawa is tied with Hamilton for the highest urban centre vacancy rates in Ontario, while Gatineau comes second in Quebec. One-bedroom apartments are the easiest to come by in both provinces. Average rent prices have changed little since last year. That said, Gatineau has the highest urban centre average rent in Quebec at $746 per month. Ottawa has an average price tag of just over $1,000 per month. Dickie says the vacancy rate will likely signal to landlords to ease off on their rent increases." http://www.ottawapropertygroup.ca/homepage/78-property-management/98-ottawa-rental-vacancy-rate-highest-of-urban-centres-in-ontario Sunday, Dec. 13, 2015 |
