1. Carlisle Group Celebrates 30 Years

2. Carlisle Group Celebrates 30 Years By Mary Savage Our philosophy is simple… that’s working to change things. Enter the Carlisle Group. Carlisle takes great pride in introducing the advantages of home ownership to those people who otherwise might not be able to afford it, and it all begins with Carlisle’s simple business philosophy: to get their costs as low as possible and then pass those savings onto their customers, while not compromising quality, thus their mantra “eye on quality, focus on value.” “We could sell our homes for more, but that is not our business model,” says Brian Stoddard, president, Carlisle Group. “We operate with the same principles as Walmart – best value, high volume – and we work very hard to achieve that goal with a dedicated staff who believes in what we are doing.” For most people, buying a home is the single, largest investment they will make, but not everyone has the ability to enjoy home ownership and for many, it is simply out of reach. On a very simplistic level, think of the home market as a pyramid: with the lowest price of a home represented by a line drawn across the middle of the pyramid, thereby giv- ing you two demographic groups – those who can afford a home (above the line) and those who cannot (below the line). The segment of people who qualify above the line grows increasingly smaller as the price of Calgary’s real estate continues to climb. But there is one company in Calgary “We operate with the same principles as Walmart – best value, high volume – and we work very hard to achieve that goal with a dedicated staff who believes in what we are doing.” ~ Brian Stoddard, president, Carlisle Group Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 3 Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 2

The segment of people who qualify above the line grows increasingly smaller as the price of Calgary’s real estate continues to climb. But there is one company in Calgary Randy Klapstein, CEO and Brian J. Stoddard, CA, President & COO. (Photo by Camie Leard) concentrating on a few strategic markets,” says Randy Klap- stein, CEO, Carlisle Group. “Developments across North America made for some interesting challenges and certainly that was the case when the U.S. market collapsed,” he adds. Klapstein is definitely not one to look back and dwell on the past, but if you press him he will tell you that he watched 80 per cent of the company’s balance sheet evaporate overnight when the U.S. market collapsed. “For a couple of years, there was a period when we were not having any fun,” says Stoddard. “We worked very hard to liquidate projects in a market that was spiralling down- Carlisle’s philosophy is not new, in fact when the com- pany was originally established this same objective was a guiding principle. The Carlisle Group evolved from Pointe of View, a brand the company operated under for many years. The transition from Pointe of View to Carlisle was to facili- tate the introduction of the current president, Stoddard, as a new shareholder, and to take the company in a different direction, which ironically, was a return to its original roots. “Over the years, the company has built in excess of 25,000 condominiums with projects in several locations in Canada and the United States, and we’ve learned that being spread out across several markets is not necessarily better than Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 3 Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 2

As the design process unfolded, they developed a number of typical buildings that offered about a dozen different suite layouts. what they paid for it. “It makes us happy to see homeowners who have doubled or tripled the equity in their home the day they move in,” says Stoddard. However the company limits the number of homes that it will allow each person to purchase at a sales launch to two. The company wants to see the benefits of their labour benefit people who are actually going to live in the home. “Many of Carlisle’s customers are first-time homebuyers and purchasing a condominium fits their lifestyle today. But in a few years, they can take the equity that has accrued in their Carlisle condo and use it to purchase a single-family home when their lifestyle needs change,” adds Stoddard. Carlisle also sees a lot of people wanting to downsize and enjoy the carefree lifestyle that condominium owner- ship offers. “For baby boomers who are downsizing, do the math!” says Klapstein. “A person can sell a single-family home for $500,000, buy a Carlisle condominium and still put $300,000 (tax free) in the bank to advance their planned retirement date or have the option to purchase a second condo in a warmer climate – depending on lifestyle needs.” ward. We had to honour our bank loans and that translated into two years of hard work: many late nights and long weeks.” In order to restore the company’s original objective of providing affordable housing, Carlisle started with a clean slate and focused on the Alberta market. They hired employ- ees who brought decades of development experience to the business, and they worked with numerous professional consultants, suppliers and strategic trades to design very efficient homes that maximize usable space. As the design process unfolded, they developed a num- ber of typical buildings that offered about a dozen different suite layouts. While the exterior of the buildings will vary, the interior design is consistent and this affords Carlisle a great opportunity to reduce their design cost on each build- ing. It also reduces the planning time and brings greater efficiencies to their building schedules – all of which results in cost savings that benefit their customers. Not surprisingly, a Carlisle home offers great value and new homeowners are very pleased when they see a neigh- bour flipping their home for $20,000 to 30,000 more than “It makes us happy to see homeowners who have doubled or tripled the equity in their home the day they move in,” says Stoddard.

5. Leveraging our buying power… This year, Carlisle will see well over 2,000 condominiums go into produc- tion – representing a significant share of the 2013-projected multi-family starts in Alberta. Currently, Carlisle has 14 projects in development across Alberta, including Calgary, Edmonton, Airdrie and Cochrane. They offer about a dozen models in each of their projects, ranging in size from approximately 550 to 1,025 square feet. Prices start from the $120,000s to just over $200,000 and underground heated parking is available. To illustrate how Carlisle leverages their buying power, consider just the kitchen component in each one of these 2,000 condominiums. Projected production orders with manufacturers will likely be in excess of 2,000 stan- dardized kitchens. As a developer and customer, consider the price difference: 200 kitchens versus 2,000 kitchens. As Klapstein would say, do the math … and these are savings that are then passed onto their customers. The company is constantly fine-tun- ing their processes and procedures to ensure they are as efficient as possible. The company invests heavily in tech- nology: from equipping their site staff with iPads to manage the construction process to creating proprietary software to manage their customer database. And they continually search for better products and better pricing to pass onto their customers. “We are relentless in our quest for every opportunity to improve the way we do everything,” says Stoddard. The company also has strategic rela- tionships with architects, structural Vantage Pointe, San Diego (Photo courtesy of Carlisle Group) Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 5 Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 4

Carlisle offers about a dozen different suite designs with something to fit most people’s taste. They also have a design centre where each customer selects their colours along with Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 6

8. When Carlisle releases one of their new projects, it’s a big deal – a very big deal. Normally the popular event is held as a one-day sales launch event and it’s not uncommon to see hundreds of people in attendance. Customers are also given the opportunity to customize appliances, flooring, lighting, cabi- nets and fixtures. But here’s the good news: if you choose not to change the standard speci- fications, you will still have a great looking home. “There’s a lot of work that goes into selecting the standard features of a Carlisle condominium to ensure we are providing great value, quality and presentation,” says Hamil- ton. “The average customer only spends about $5,000 when selecting upgrades – they simply don’t find it necessary to spend a lot of money customizing their purchase.” Always in demand… When Carlisle releases one of their new proj- ects, it’s a big deal – a very big deal. Normally the popular event is held as a one-day sales launch event and it’s not uncommon to see hundreds of people in attendance. During the release of a Calgary project, over 2,000 people attended and the project was sold out within a few hours. In Edmonton, one of their launch events could have easily been mistaken for a shot at getting esteemed rock concert tickets. “It’s crazy … we had people camped out overnight to get the best selection at the sales launch,” explains Kim Laskin, Edmonton sales manager. What’s their secret to generating such hype? Riverfront Pointe, Calgary (Photo courtesy of Carlisle Group) Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 8

10. (Photo courtesy of Carlisle Group) Carlisle tries to make it easier for these entry-level buyers by offering the opportunity to make their down payment in instalments over a few months. As Stoddard has observed, it’s really gratifying to see 30-something buyers, with a young child, looking to buy their first home. “They had been looking for an affordable home, but couldn’t find something to fit their budget,” he says. “To these folks, the opportunity for homeownership is a huge deal and that’s something that too many of us take for granted.” Quality and price aside, Carlisle intentionally withholds the details of the exact location until a couple of days prior to the event. Once the location has been announced, perspec- tive buyers go to great lengths to take part in a Carlisle sales event. At a launch event a few years ago, the event was by invitation only and people actually forged invitations to gain access. If you attend a Carlisle launch you will find people of all ages – from empty nesters to entry-level buyers. The first- time homebuyers are typically accompanied by their parents to provide advice and a bit of help with the down payment. Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 10

12. Some of our challenges… The company has had several meetings with senior plan- ning people at the City of Calgary and today, Carlisle is quick to point out they have seen improvements in the city’s approval process in recent weeks. Previously, Carlisle had frozen any new land acquisitions in Calgary, but Carlisle is once again looking to acquire additional land for develop- ment in Calgary – something that should make Calgarians very happy. “The construction business in Alberta is very significant to our economy,” says Stoddard. “There are several studies that suggest each construction dollar generates an addi- tional $3 to $5 of economic spinoff. If the studies are true, Carlisle will directly contribute over $1 billion to the Alberta economy over the next few months.” Carlisle estimates the costs incurred during the approvals process for Emerald Sky are well in excess of $1 million, but what makes it particularly disappointing was that Carlisle had pre-sold approximately two-thirds of the condomini- ums to very excited customers. When they lost the appeal, Carlisle had to relay this disappointing news to its custom- ers: the project could not proceed and the deposits were returned to their customers. Carlisle has not given up on Emerald Sky and they have gone back to the drawing board to redesign the project. As a result of Carlisle’s experience with Emerald Sky, they have changed the way they do business in Calgary. They are no longer pre-selling projects in Calgary, prior to the devel- In recent months, Carlisle’s business has grown faster in Edmonton than Calgary, and Stoddard attributes this to the different permitting and approval processes within each city. “It seems to be much easier to get development permits in Edmonton, and as a result we have reallocated capital that was originally intended for Calgary. We have rerouted that capital to Edmonton because we simply cannot leave the capital sitting idle while we are waiting for permits,” he remarks. “The development business is very risky and at times, a very disappointing one.” Carlisle recently experienced one of those great disap- pointments in a proposed project in Kincora, located in northwest Calgary. The project, known as Emerald Sky, included 337 condominiums and 29 townhomes. Carlisle worked with the city for over a year and a half trying to get the project approved, but it was to no avail. They lost an appeal at the Subdivision and Development Appeal Board for reasons not yet disclosed at the time of printing this article. “This was our greatest disappointment in the last three to four years,” notes Klapstein. “The approval process, on this particular project, was being followed by many in the development industry, and Emerald Sky provides a perfect example of the challenges in getting projects approved in the city of Calgary today.” CHURCH EATON INSURNCE LTD CEI Church Eaton Insurance Ltd.

14. particular site ‘unsuitable’ for a multi-family development because the city would like to see something else developed on the site or they may simply not like the look of the build- ing,” adds Mackey. In contrast, Edmonton has sites that are specifically zoned for multi-family developments. “When you buy the site, you know that the City of Edmonton will approve the devel- opment permit for a multi-family project. In comparison, this makes developing multi-family projects in Calgary sig- nificantly more risky than Edmonton, and that is normally reflected in the final cost to the homeowner,” comments Mackey. opment permit being approved. According to Stoddard, this significantly increases the development cycle and drives up the project costs – unnecessarily increasing prices to customers. Jim Mackey, vice-president of development for Carlisle, believes that the root of the problem is that multi-family developments are discretionary uses in Calgary. In other words, the city planners decide if a site is suitable for a par- ticular multi-family project. “We purchase a multi-family site from a land developer and submit a development application – hoping the City of Calgary approves the application. Since multi-family developments are a ‘discretionary use’ they can deem the Congratulations on 30 years! S2 is proud of the work we have done with the Carlisle Group. Carlisle Group.

But for now the company seems to be very comfortable building four-storey wood-frame condominiums and bringing affordable homes to Albertans. “Like all businesses, we will respond to the marketplace in the future,” adds Stoddard. “We are a big company and our capital is very mobile, but we see a great future in Alberta – both for Carlisle and Albertans alike.” gary’s oldest southeast inner-city neighbourhoods. Carlisle worked with the community and the City of Cal- gary to re-zone what was formerly a school site, and they believe this has provided a great opportunity to revitalize this historic Calgary community and that this project will be well received by Calgarians. “The Albert Park project provides an opportunity for our customers to own a home that’s a short transit ride to down- town – at very affordable prices,” say Stoddard. “We also recognize it will give the residents in Albert Park an oppor- tunity to acquire a home that might better fit their current lifestyle. We are branding the project ‘Albert Park Station’ and we are expecting it to be another home run.” Currently, Carlisle also has projects underway in Airdrie, Cochrane and several locations in both Calgary and Edmon- ton. “When it comes to the Calgary marketplace, our biggest frustration is that we cannot get development permits fast Our current projects… Carlisle has a number of projects currently underway and some of their most exciting projects will be released in the coming months.

16. Lake Windermere, B.C. (Photo courtesy of Carlisle Group) In December 2012, Carlisle met with their strategic trade partners to talk about future growth and plans for the year ahead – enabling their trade partners to more accurately forecast their 2013 business plans, prepare and plan for the deployment of their forces. In the past when Carlisle expanded its business into new markets, many of its trade partners followed them into these new markets, a testament to the loyalty that their trade partners have to Carlisle. But Carlisle’s strategic relationships reach beyond Alberta’s borders – spanning east to Quebec City where one of their primary lenders resides. They also cross the Atlantic where Lloyd’s of London underwrites all of their construction insurance needs, and over to China where some of their building materials are sourced directly. Although Carlisle’s head office is located in Calgary’s East Village, their partner- ships span all borders – giving rise to both a local and global business. enough to meet the demand,” asserts Klapstein. “This should concern Calgarians for two reasons: it is going to increase the cost of home ownership and it will affect those look- ing to immigrate to Calgary if affordable housing is not available. Both of these factors could potentially hinder our economy in the long run.” The people we work with… Over the decades, Carlisle has developed several strategic relationships that are very important and beneficial to the company’s success. They have seen many of their trade part- ners grow their businesses – alongside of Carlisle’s. “Many of these relationships started years ago when we hired trades to work on our projects and in many instances, they have become long-term friendships,” notes Klapstein. Addition- ally, Carlisle has developed very strong relationships with its consultants, lenders and trade partners. Carlisle Group | 30th Anniversary | 16
