  • (Page 1 of 2) J.D. Power and Associates Reports: New-Homeowner Satisfaction in the Greater Toronto Area Declines Considerably Br
    J.D. Power and Associates Reports: New-Homeowner Satisfaction in the Greater Toronto Area Declines Considerably Brookfield Homes Ranks Highest in Satisfying New Homeowners TORONTO: 11 August 2009 — Overall satisfaction with new-home builders declines significantly in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) for the first time since the study’s inception in 2005, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2009 Canadian New-Home Builder Customer Satisfaction StudySM released today. Overall satisfaction has decreased to 674 points (on a 1,000-point scale) in 2009, down 36 points from 710 in 2008. This overall decline is driven primarily by decreased homeowner satisfaction in the home readiness and service/warranty staff factors. “Given the challenging market conditions, some builders have had to make some very tough decisions regarding their staffing models, and service levels may have suffered as a result,” said Marc Thibault, real estate practice leader at the Canadian office of J.D. Power and Associates. “Some of the service levels that homeowners may have been promised or have come to expect from earlier experiences with the builder are not being realized.” The study measures customer satisfaction of homeowners throughout the new-home purchase and early ownership experience in four markets: the Greater Toronto Area, Calgary, Edmonton, and Ottawa. Customer satisfaction is measured across eight factors (in order of importance): home readiness; service/warranty staff; home quality; physical design; price/value; sales staff; design centre; and construction/site team. This marks the fifth year that the study has been conducted in the Greater Toronto Area. Brookfield Homes ranks highest in satisfying new homeowners in the GTA market, with an overall satisfaction score of 861.

  • (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016
    Bolton Residential Expansion Study (BRES) and Successful Integration of Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) May 24, 2016 The purpose of this memorandum is to review the professional literature pertaining to the potential develop- ment of a Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) in the Bolton Residential Expansion Study area, in response to the Region of Peel’s recent release of the Discussion Paper. The Discussion Paper includes the establishment of evaluation themes and criteria, which are based on provincial and regional polices, stakeholder and public comments. It should be noted that while the Discussion Paper and the Region’s development of criteria does not specifi- cally advocate for TOD, it is the intent of this memorandum to illustrate that TOD-centric planning will not only adequately address such criteria, but will also complement and enhance the Region’s planning principles, key points and/or themes found in stakeholder and public comments. In the following are research findings related to TOD generally, and specifically, theMetrolinx Mobility Hub Guidelines For The Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (September 2011) objectives. Additionally, following a review and assessment of the “Response to Comments Submitted on the Bolton Residential Expansion Study ROPA” submission prepared by SGL Planning & Design Inc. (March 15, 2016), this memorandum evaluates some of the key arguments and assumptions made in this submission relative to the TOD research findings. Planning for Transit-Oriented Developments TOD policy and programs can result in catalytic development that creates walkable, livable neighborhoods around transit providing economic, livability and equitable benefits. The body of research on TODs in the United States has shown that TODs are more likely to succeed when project planning takes place in conjunction with transit system expansion.

    Lakeshore East Corridor Guildwood GO Station Construction JUNE 2016 Metrolinx, an agency of the Province of Ontario, is working to transform the way the region moves by building a seamless, convenient and integrated transit network across the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA). Over the next ten years, Metrolinx is transforming the existing GO rail system to deliver a whole new rapid transit experience to your community. With more frequent train service you’ll have more options to get you where you need to go. THE LOCAL PROJECT – PEDESTRIAN TUNNEL SLIDE Metrolinx is working to make major upgrades to Guildwood GO Station to make it easier and more convenient to access the station. This work supports future 15 minute, two-way all-day electrified service that is fast, frequent, and reliable for residents of the Guildwood community. Thank you for your patience during the overnight drilling work. The next major step in construction is sliding the new pedestrian tunnels under the rail corridor. This work will occur over two weekends in July: Friday, July 8 at 8:00 p.m. to Monday, July 11 at 5:00 a.m. and Friday July 22 at 8:00 p.m. to Monday, July 25 at 5:00 p.m. The new pedestrian tunnels will be wider, longer, have improved lighting, and elevators which will enhance access and safety.
