2023: A Year in Review at Canadian Retirement Developments

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Wed, 20 Dec 2023 07:13:06 GMT

It’s been a busy year here in Chilliwack, and there’s so much more to come in 2024. We can’t wait to tell you what we’ve got planned! As you settle in to enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, we wanted to take a look back at 2023 at Canadian Retirement Developments with you:

Skynest Phase 2

The second phase of our beautiful Skynest development at the corner of Watson and Vedder was completed, ready for residents to move in during the summer…and move in they did! We have many happy new homeowners now living their best lives in their brand new, stunning condos.

There’s still some inventory available (click the "Residencies" tab in our navigation bar above, and select Phase 2), and our fantastic show home is also for sale, so contact us now for more details on how you can join our happy and growing community!

Golf Tournament

Our annual Golf Tournament took place back in July at Cultus Lake Golf Club. It was a great opportunity for residents of Canadian Retirement Developments properties to come together and enjoy a great day of golf, prizes, and getting to know other homeowners, in the most fantastic setting possible.

It was an incredible day - the weather co-operated and it was sunny and warm all day.

We had a great turnout of residents from our properties in Chilliwack/Sardis: Skynest and Malloway Village, Englewood Courtyard and Englewood Village. With 45 people playing and almost 70 in attendance for the post-tourney dinner, the whole event showcased what a fantastic set of communities we are building with incredible people and amazing spirit. We couldn’t be more proud of our homeowners!

Thank you to Mark Perry and Andrew MacDonald for putting on the event again this year. Everything went perfectly, thanks to the organizational skills of our own Harry Doupe and Roger Jennings!

A HUGE thank you to our amazing sponsors who ensured no team went home empty-handed:

The Sweet Sweetcorn Season in Chilliwack

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Tue, 26 Sep 2023 00:19:55 GMT

As the leaves begin to change colour, and the breeze carries hints of the upcoming winter season, it’s the time of year when Chilliwack’s harvest seems solely focussed on one vegetable: CORN.

With corn stands and mazes, you can’t avoid corn in the valley at this time of year, and for good reason. Chilliwack’s lush agricultural land gives it the most perfect soil to grow the most delicious corn in the country. While the region boasts of a myriad harvest of fruits and vegetables year-round, its pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the sweet corn to herald the end of summer and the start of fall. There's a certain magic in the air when corn season is at its peak in Chilliwack. Locals and visitors alike throng the roadside stands, and grocery stores throughout the Lower Mainland stock towering boxes of corn for weeks, as people plan the last of their fair-weather barbecues.

But it’s clear that summer 2023 has gone now, and as we gear up to embrace fall, our culinary instincts lean towards cozy, comfort foods. We’ve put together a delicious recipe that fits the bill when it comes to making the most of Chilliwack’s arguably most famous crop. Be sure to try this yummy corn chowder before the season ends!

Sweetcorn Chowder with Smoked Paprika

Ingredients:

4 ears of fresh Chilliwack corn, husked and kernels removed
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
4 cups vegetable or chicken broth
1 cup heavy cream or milk
1 tsp smoked paprika
2 tbsp butter or olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh chives or parsley, for garnish

Instructions:

Preparation: Start by prepping your veggies. Using a sharp knife, stand each corn cob upright on a cutting board and slice down its length, removing the kernels. Set aside.
Sauté: In a large pot, melt the butter or heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced onions and sauté until translucent. Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Corn & Potatoes: Add the corn kernels and diced potatoes to the pot. Stir well, letting the flavors mingle for about 5 minutes.
Broth & Simmer: Pour in the broth, ensuring that the vegetables are submerged. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes are tender.
Blend: Once the potatoes are cooked, use an immersion blender to puree half the soup, giving it a creamy texture while still retaining some chunks. If you don't have an immersion blender, transfer half of the soup to a regular blender, blend until smooth, and then return it to the pot.
Season & Finish: Add the heavy cream or milk, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper to the pot. Stir well and let it simmer for another 5 minutes. If the soup is too thick, add a bit more broth or water to reach your desired consistency.
Serve & Garnish: Ladle the chowder into bowls and garnish with freshly chopped chives or parsley. A sprinkle of extra smoked paprika on top adds an extra punch!

The Eddy at the Bridge - a new place to visit!

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Thu, 15 Jun 2023 20:49:56 GMT

We like to tell you about new places you can visit close to Skynest, so we went to check out The Eddy at the Bridge, just a few minutes away.

This current commercial venture is a short drive or bike ride from Skynest, travelling south across the Vedder Bridge with a quick turn left as soon as you get onto Vedder Mountain Road. Go all the way past the back of the buildings on your left before you take another left turn to enter the parking lot in front of the Eddy. As you turn, you’ll find yourself nicely sandwiched between the stunning and fast flowing Chilliwack River and The Eddy at the Bridge (NOT - as I had assumed - named Eddie as-in Vedder - which made sense at the time!).

There are plenty of spots here for cars, as well as designated parking for motorbikes, and lots of stands for bikes, either pedal powered or e-bikes!

This location is best served with sunshine, as there’s plenty of outdoor seating. At the far end, Sidekick Brewing - the largest establishment right now - has a great patio which will be busy this summer, but there’s also a large indoor space too. While the food menu is a little limited, the offerings are tasty and there’s still plenty to choose from when it comes to drinks.

Back outside, there are several nicely crafted benches beside the other tenant stores, which provide a nice mix of treats, both food and outdoors-focussed: Banter the ice cream shop, with a daily menu of delicious, freshly-mixed delights (as well as a slick interior which is bathed in the sweetly intoxicating smell of newly-made waffle cones); Pacific Rivers Outfitting, which can provide more ambitious visitors with all they need for a days outdoors activities; Land - a cafe and yoga studio which offers healthy breakfast and lunch choices most days until 4pm; and Project Climbing Centre with an impressive indoor climbing wall which caters to all ages.

The Eddy at the Bridge isn’t a large commercial venture, but it’s been built in keeping with its surroundings which makes it an appealing destination. With its select list of eclectic tenants, the Eddy provides a great location to visit for breakfast, lunch or dinner, plus a spot of shopping or prepping for your next hike/climb - and all just a few minutes away from Skynest! Contact us today to book an appointment to visit your new home!

Getting on the e-bike bandwagon - and where to rent one:

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Thu, 11 May 2023 19:08:38 GMT

E-biking (with the E standing for “electric”) is fast becoming an increasingly popular form of transportation for those who want a little boost on their bike. Having some additional power so you can go faster, more easily go longer distances, and get some help with those hills is understandably a popular idea. As well as people purchasing e-bikes to keep at home, municipal governments in cities across the world are now bringing e-bikes into their per-hour rental bike options, with regular cycle rental and purchase stores doing the same.

This means you can try before you buy or just stick with renting and save yourself a larger initial cost and offset storage/security issues.

Here’s how they work: an electric bike has a motor powered by a detachable, rechargeable battery that helps keep the pedals going and means you have to exert less effort. You set the pace - you can get more or less battery assistance depending on your own preference, and you can make adjustments while you ride. This is especially beneficial for those who need help with the physical challenge of riding or for those with some mobility challenges.

E-bikes are a great way to stay active and fit whilst getting some support so you can explore more of the world around you. Enthusiasts often say they get to go much further than on their regular bikes, so there’s a whole new world to see out there! E-biking is a great solo activity, as a couple, with friends or a biking group, and when the family is visiting. Whether you want to ride around town, explore the countryside, or take a leisurely ride, you can do it all with an electric bike.

If you’re not looking to commit to purchasing an e-bike just yet, there are options for you to rent by the hour. Chilliwack has three great options for you to choose from:

Vedder Mountain Bike Co.

How to Turn Walking Into a Daily Habit PLUS some of the best walking trails in Chilliwack:

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Mon, 13 Mar 2023 18:35:26 GMT

Walking is one of the simplest and most beneficial forms of exercise. It can help you improve your overall health, boost essential fresh air and Vitamin D, and reduce stress. But for many, becoming a daily walker can be a challenge. Here are some ways in which you can incorporate walking into your everyday life:

1. Set a Goal: Setting daily steps or exercise goals for yourself can be a great way to stay motivated and on track with your walking routine. Choose a goal you can realistically achieve, such as walking for 30 minutes daily, five days a week, or hitting 10,000 steps a day (which is recommended by health professionals). Setting these limits on your phone or a smart watch or fitbit can encourage you to get it done!

2. Track Your Progress: while a watch or phone can set goals for you, using a specific fitness tracker or app to give you a nudge is a great way to ensure you stay on track. They will let you know if you’ve been sat down for too long or push you to move every hour to hit those daily goals. They will give you something to aim for, and many of them reward you for your progress so you stay on track.

3. Start Small: If you’re just starting out, it’s important to start small and work your way up to longer walks. Start with 10-15 minutes a day and gradually increase the duration or even the exertion as you become more comfortable.

4. Find a Walking Partner: Having someone to walk with can make it more enjoyable and help you stay motivated. Find a friend or family member who’s interested in walking with you. If you don’t have a dog, joining a friend on a regular dog walk will help you get out more and gives you a chance to catch up!

5. Wear the Right Gear: Invest in comfortable, supportive shoes, as well as clothing for all seasons - BC is unpredictable weather-wise, but that shouldn’t stop you from getting outside with the right gear.

6. Choose a Variety of Routes: Varying your walking routes can help keep your walks interesting and encourage you to explore new areas.

7. Set Aside Time: Schedule a specific time to devote to walking each day. This will help keep you motivated and make sure you don’t forget to walk.

8. Reward Yourself: Celebrate your successes and reward yourself for reaching your goals. This can be a great incentive to keep up with your walking routine.

As well as the health benefits, walking has been proven to impact your mental health positively. Here are some places to get out and enjoy the fresh air around Chilliwack:

5 Pet Care Providers to Help you Have a Worry-Free Weekend Getaway

There's no doubt that pets are blessings in our lives, but when it comes to planning a trip, arranging care for our furry family members can be a real headache.

From East to West - A Retirement Story Featuring Skynest Purchaser, Brent

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Thu, 30 Sep 2021 23:57:15 GMT

Buying a home that you expect to be your last major investment is a big deal. Retirement and aging are big factors when it comes to choosing the place where you want to be as you transition out of the 9-5, to a life you’ve envisioned your whole working life.

Important things come into play, including:

· What amenities will I need near me?

· Do I want a garden to maintain?

· What are my/our plans when it comes to traveling during retirement?

· How much room will we need for ourselves/visitors?

Another huge part of this, is WHERE do you want to be?

For many people, a retirement life on the west coast is a life goal that can finally be realized perhaps as they downsize and sell a larger family home. Recent stats from LinkedIn , show a big increase in people who moved from the east to the west coast during the pandemic, and that number is also high within the older age bracket, as retirees seek to live a life devoid of cripplingly cold winters, icy sidewalks, and oppressive summer heat (although BC had its own heat dome this past summer of course!).

One of those Ontario migrants heading our way soon, Brent, made the decision to purchase their retirement home at Skynest in Chilliwack, after living and working in Ontario for many years.

“My wife is originally from BC, and the goal was to move back when we retired, but we had a checklist for the home we retired to,” says Brent. “We have ambitious travel plans, and we wanted a place that we can just lock and leave.”

Lock and leave is a perfect way to describe the Skynest lifestyle. With Phase One almost complete, Phase Two currently under construction, and sales in both buildings underway, Brent and his wife decided that a brand-new build would give them the peace of mind they needed if they wanted to go on trips, visit family in Vancouver, or just to feel secure in their day-to-day life, thanks to the various features and security reassurances, the community, and the lifestyle that a Skynest condo guarantees.

“You’re not only getting a brand new apartment – so you know nothing is going to go wrong, unlike buying an older property – you know that people will look out for each other, and the neighbourhood and community spirit is only going to grow in that area.”

The area Brent is talking about along Watson and Vedder Roads, already includes a wealth of amenities such as myriad healthcare providers, a supermarket, pharmacies, a post office, banks and restaurants. But there are bigger plans for this up-and-coming neighbourhood, with community villages and gathering places aimed at a retiring population all scheduled to be built in the near future.

“Having so many things not just within walking distance like the shops and services, but also just a drive away, like the hotels, restaurants and big city life in Vancouver just an hour away, and the mountains, lakes and nature really just in your backyard, plus being so close to the border for visits when it’s safe to do so again, made Skynest the perfect location because it ticked every box,” says Brent.

“As well, we know about the developer because we were looking to buy a resale home they had built and we knew the quality of the home and the features – but we realized the timing wasn’t right on that home, so we looked at Skynest, and now we can’t wait to move in!”

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Wed, 28 Jul 2021 20:17:20 GMT

Whether you’re tired of the heat and sun, or you’re looking for more of it, there are so many opportunities to get out and about around Chilliwack this summer!

Here are a few fun activities for the nature lovers amongst us, food and drinks spots for the foodies, and more!

1.Manning Park

You might know this breathtaking place for its magical winter activities, but don’t underestimate its year-round appeal; Manning park turns into a wonderland during the summertime as well! From activities like horseback riding to stargazing, hiking, to all types of water sports, Manning Park is a local favourite. And you’re not just limited to one day of fun! Manning park has five camp grounds, so you can lengthen your stay and enjoy everything it has to offer.

2.Allison Lake

A lake encompassed by Douglas fir trees, and stocked with 15,000 Blackwater rainbow trout, Allison Lake is a dream come true for fishers of all levels.

Do you have a kayak, canoe or a paddle board? You’ll definitely want to bring those along to take a quick tour around the lake. There’s even potential for water skiing.

If camping isn’t your thing, there are a limit number of cabins available around the area, so book your spot before it’s too late! You can access the lake from both directions, so you can do a round trip and see something different on your way there and back!

3.Vancouver

Head to the city for a night or two, and you won’t even need your car once you get there. With movie theatres, museums, art galleries and so much more now open for business and all within walking distance of downtown hotels, you’re guaranteed a fun getaway to enjoy the art, culture, and culinary scene of Vancouver.

If it’s been a while since you’ve spent time in the city, there are lots of changes - hit up a few of the Breweries in East Vancouver, where many have patios to enjoy a beer in the sun. You can even get the seabus to North Vancouver and enjoy the new Shipyards district, all while taking in the view of downtown from the other side of the water.

4.Mount Baker

Once the border opens up to Canadians, be sure to check out the beautiful scenery Mount Baker has to offer.

While visiting the area, a must-do is to visit Artist Point, one of the most breathtaking views of the volcano. Located at the very end of Mount Baker Highway, watching over Mount Baker on the southwest side while on the other side gazing over the beautiful North Cascades Mountain Range and Mount Shuksan.

Just a couple of steps away from the parking lot, Nooksack Falls trail is accessible for people of all skill levels. Once you get there you will be amazed by the fast-moving body of water.

If you’re looking for a more challenging activity with a high reward value, Chain Lakes Loop should be your priority. It is considered a moderate hike, 10.5 km in length, with a 555 metre elevation. This trail has many different access points so you can choose where you want to start the hike. Don’t want to do the whole thing? No problem, you can take any route you’d like and walk back to your starting point.

Buying New and Taking Away the Stress: Why Skynest Makes it Easier on Home Buyers in Chilliwack, BC

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Mon, 19 Apr 2021 19:56:06 GMT

If you’re looking to purchase a home right now, it’s a jungle out there. Despite the global markets having had their most disruptive year in decades, the housing market has not only remained strong – it has boomed , and BC is no exception . Stories abound of wannabe homeowners in Canada being priced out of the market, and of homes that should be within range of reasonable offers, being sold for way above asking , meaning those making decent offers are left without a new roof over their heads, and often with their retirement goals beyond their reach .

With retirees looking to make a final real estate investment that allows them peace of mind and comfort when it comes to the savings they have plotted out, having to fork out over-and-above a reasonable amount for a home they actually want to live in, is not just undesirable – it can be heartbreaking.

One way to step off of the constant treadmill of making an offer, hoping for the best, then having those hopes dashed – is to buy new, and to get in early so you can have the best selection in a new development, and even potentially to have some input into the way your home is built and designed.

As well as knowing right away that you’ve secured a home with brand new amenities, minimal upkeep, and state-of-the-art appliances, you can take the stress out of an already stressful situation by not entering into a bidding war you will likely lose.

Here at Skynest, we offer luxury adult living at an affordable price. Located in the heart of Sardis, in BC’s Fraser Valley, Skynest is situated close by to everything you’ll need, including shops, services, and dining options like grocery stores, physicians, cafes, restaurants and breweries. When you’re at Skynest, you’re also minutes away from the beautiful outdoors, one of our favourite things about the Fraser Valley. Whether you’re looking for a simple and easy to complete walking trail or an intermediate hike, you’ll find multiple options close by.

Our luxury condos offer exceptional views, beautiful social spaces for friends and family, and a community like no other. At Skynest, you can retire in style with our sleek, open concept floor plans. Whether you’re looking to add a guest bedroom to your space, or an office or computer room, you’ll have the option since each floor plan we offer includes two bedrooms and one den space, leaving you with endless options for decorating and organizing.

Buying new might not give you the fixer-upper you may have intended to purchase, but more and more retirees are realizing that buying a new home not only gives you more time to spend enjoying the important things in life (rather than fixing old things around the house), but it can be a sound investment when it comes to taking the stress out of getting into an unnecessary and expensive fight you will likely lose.

As we see sales continue at Skynest, we now over 50% sold – but don’t worry, we still have an abundant selection of beautiful floor plans for you to choose from. Book your VIP luxury tour today to see the Skynest condos in person here , or give us a call to book a meeting with our sales team at 604-362-1505 or email us at tracey@skynest.ca .

While Condo Prices Rise Province-Wide, Skynest Pricing Holds Steady to Help YOU Afford Luxurious Living

anabod@myriadits.com (Ammar Nabod) — Tue, 02 Mar 2021 19:09:32 GMT

Over the course of 2020, the housing market across BC continued to fluctuate as the pandemic played a huge part in worldwide market instability. With an overall lower number of available units on offer, housing prices continued to increase due to high demand.

In January 2021, the B.C Real Estate Association (BCREA) Housing Forecast suggested that residential sales would increase by 15.6% across BC for 2021. In Chilliwack, this means a forecasted increase of 17.1% (4,100 unit sales) in 2021, compared to the 25.5% (3,501 unit sales) increase from 2019 to 2020. “The provincial housing market is set up for a very strong year in 2021” says Brendon Ogmundson, BCREA Chief Economist.

BUT, despite all of those predictions of large hikes in housing prices, here at Skynest, we are committed to holding our pricing – not increasing it – so that you can make decisions now, knowing what the future holds. With 50% of our units sold, there’s still a great variety of options available for you. Our 45+ adult-living luxury condos offer a wide range of floorplans to best suit your needs, and each unit includes high-end finishings, an abundance of light, and an open floorplan so you can furnish your condo space in a way that would work best for you and your lifestyle.

Transforming the corner of Watson and Vedder Road, Skynest is close to all the shops and services you need.
