a16 trpune april 17 1985 announce complex addition by christine koserski unionville the unionville home society has announced the addition of a 120- suite luxury senior citizens building to the union villa and heritage village complex wyndham gardens being touted as a new concept in independent living will be funded in a unique leaseforlife program which is new to ontario although popular in the united states prospective buyers will put up the total cost of a unit at the outset part of the amount will later be returned based on the length of occupancy its almost like buying a condo you buy your suite but you dont buy the ownership its like prepaid rent explained john mackay chairman of the unionville home society we couldnt get any government fund ing at all and we tried every route possi ble he said at a press conference we had to find alternative funding the units from 680 to 1300 square feet will cost from 60000 to 125000 the one and twobedroom suites have balconies or patios a foyer food store snack bar craft rooms and offices will be on the main floor the onestorey cottages in the heritage village have proved popular but the price of land in unionville has made any such further construction virtually impossible the threestorey wyndham gardens will be built on land purchased by the town of markham and held for the unionville home society specifically for seniors accommodation ironically there is an advantage to the alternative funding the building will not be limited by the standards of a funding government agency and is consequently above standards set by the canada hous ing and mortgage commission chmc there is a need for this type of luxury seniors accommodation says mr mackay there are seniors out there who want to sell their home and move into a condomi nium or apartment and want something a little nicer he said this is better be cause it is a seniors complex and there are support services another advantage is that the owner will be safeguarded against inflation mr mackay pointed out although mainte nance costs may go up slightly the prepaid rent payments will stay the same hope holmsted chairman of the longe- range planning committeesaid the mem bers travelled to seniors homes in metro politan toronto and southern ontario look ing at ways to provide alternative seniors accommodation there are 500 people on the waiting
