Late last month, while most people were coming down from the high of the holidays, for TRETTI homeowners, the excitement was just beginning as they tuned in on January 30^th for the TRETTI Homeowner Information Session.

Over 200 soon-to-be residents attended the virtual event, hosted by Natascha Pieper, Collecdev’s Vice-President of Sales & Marketing, and Julian McNabb, Vice-President of Melbourne Property Management, the award-winning firm poised to bring their 100+ years of combined experience to provide quality service and exceptional performance at TRETTI.

During the 2-hour online webinar, TRETTI residents listened with rapt attention as they learned about their future home, the move-in process, and the teams in place to support the community – passionate people like Collecdev’s Customer Care Manager, Nadine Kiriakis, and her dedicated team responsible for upholding our mission to build complete communities with uncompromising standards of quality and strong homeowner relationships; and Shanta Sapkota, TRETTI’s official Property Manager. With PDIs (Pre-Delivery Inspection) to begin soon at the Scandinavian-inspired community, the Homeowner Information Session marked a key milestone on the road to move-in day.

Natascha kicked things off with a discussion of Collecdev and our portfolio of award-winning communities, before focusing in on TRETTI and the incredible lifestyle – complete with crisp contemporary architecture, intelligent design, and spectacular neighbourhood and building amenities – that await residents. She then walked viewers through the various aspects of customer care including PDIs, interim occupancy, key collection, utility setup, and the Tarion warranty. Finally, Julian spoke to the purview of property management, covering topics like occupancy fees, elevator booking, parking and lockers, condo rules, garbage and recycling, insurance and registration, the Board of Directors, and of course, the main event – move-in day.

Around the 1-hour mark, the session transitioned from a presentation into an open discussion where Natascha and Julian fielded questions from attendees, demonstrating Collecdev’s signature collaborative approach to the human-centred experience. It was a clear reflection of the shared values between Collecdev and Melbourne Property Management and illustrated precisely why we’ve chosen them to take the helm at TRETTI. As a company whose mission is to “create a sense of community,” Melbourne fits perfectly with Collecdev’s guiding ethos, and will play a key role in helping to realize our vision of TRETTI as a vibrant, thriving, inspiring, engaging and complete community for the 21^st century and beyond.

Excitement is building for occupancy at TRETTI. PDIs are taking place, the finished building is coming to life, and move-in day is just around the corner for this Scandinavian-inspired, multi-layered community in the heart of Wilson Heights. And while you’re packing boxes and picking out furniture, you may also be wondering exactly what to expect. Here is all the information you need to prepare.

I’ve got my occupancy date, now what?

Let’s start with some basic terminology. Your occupancy date marks the day that you receive your keys, and the day your Tarion warranty period begins. Your move-in date is the day you physically move into your new home. The reason they’re not the same is a matter of logistics – your closing and key handover will likely take place in the afternoon, but move-in day is best tackled with an early start (and an elevator booking).

Of course, once your keys are in hand, the suite is yours, so if you want to visit your new home and drop off a few small boxes of personal items. But for your official move-in – the day your furniture arrives and the day you get elbow-deep in boxes and big items – you’ll need to book the elevator.

How do I book the elevator?

The ongoing management of TRETTI is in the expert hands of Melbourne Property Management, a Toronto-based firm with over 100 years of combined industry experience. The Property Manager assigned to TRETTI is Shanta Sapkota, please call Shanta directly at 416.546.2126 x174. Shanta will help you gather all the necessary forms and information that you need. You’ll be able to book the elevator starting the day after occupancy.

What will I need?

To book the elevator you’ll need:

• A security deposit cheque
• A completed Resident Information Form
• Proof of insurance
• A copy of your completed PowerStream utility enrollment form
• If your unit is leased, you’ll also need a copy of the lease

Don’t forget that an elevator booking is necessary any time you have a large delivery that requires the use of the loading bay and the elevators.

What can I expect on move-in day?

Together, Collecdev and Melbourne Property Management have handled tens of thousands of move-ins, and we’ve developed the best practices that will help ensure a smooth and seamless experience getting into your new home.

• Upon arrival, check in with the concierge, they’ll be available for any questions throughout the day.
• Make sure your moving truck and any other vehicles are in the loading bay and not blocking the roadways or any fire routes (this is why we book elevator times, to ensure there’s sufficient space for everyone moving that day).
• Start the heavy lifting.
• When you’re finished, remember to break down any large boxes and take them to the garbage / recycling room.
• Kick back and relax in your new home.

What will the building be like when I move in?

During interim occupancy, some parts of the building may still be under construction. That means there may be protective coverings in the elevator cabs and some noise when the crews are on site. You can also expect some ongoing construction of the exterior and the amenity spaces, which won’t be accessible until after construction is complete. As well, paint, wallpaper and carpets in common areas may not yet be finished – they’ll be installed after the bulk of move-ins have taken place so they remain protected from any damage.

Rest assured that everyone (residents, workers and trade partners) is working towards the same goal – to ensure a quick and successful completion of the building – so please be patient and if you have any questions, contact a member of our Customer Care team, we’re always here to help.

TRETTI is set to deliver a thriving community with contemporary architecture, elegant interiors, and a strong connection to nature. It’s the best of all worlds, and it’s ready to welcome you home.

The new year is bringing exciting new updates at TRETTI where PDIs (Pre-Delivery Inspections) have officially begun.

What is a PDI?​

The Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) marks a huge milestone in the home ownership process – it’s your first chance to see your finished new home in real life and the final step before move-in day. All new homes enrolled with Tarion – and therefore protected by the Tarion warranty – must undergo a PDI.

Our trusted third-party PDI company, Fortune PDI, will reach out to schedule your appointment, typically 1-2 weeks before your occupancy date. At the appointment, not only will you get to see the upgrades you selected and review the quality of the finished work, but you’ll also learn about your new home and all its operating systems (plumbing, heating, ventilation, electrical, etc.), so that you’ll be familiar with how everything works by the time you move in.

How do I prepare for my PDI?​

In preparation for your PDI, there are some helpful documents to review, including the Tarion PDI Checklist and the special feature, Getting Read​y for the Pre-Delivery Inspection, both of which will help provide an overview of the process.

Who can attend my PDI?

PDIs are conducted in person and onsite. During your appointment it’s important that you’re free to focus on the inspection of your new home, reviewing any maintenance and operational instructions, and noting if anything is missing, damaged or incomplete. For that reason, we strongly recommend that only the purchasers named on the Agreement of Purchase and Sale (APS) should attend.

If you’re unable to attend, you can assign a designate to attend on your behalf. Simply complete the Designate Form and submit it to our Customer Care team prior to your PDI. You can also request that a member of the development team complete the inspection on your behalf. In that case, a copy of the PDI will be sent to you along with a video of your suite inspection. For safety reasons, no minors or pets are allowed on site.​

What should I bring to the PDI?​

While your Collecdev Customer Care representative will provide all of the necessary paperwork on the day of the PDI, some people find it helpful to bring a copy of the Agreement of Purchase and Sale and a list of upgrades for reference. Since the site is still under construction, be sure to dress appropriately with close-toed footwear (and no heels for your safety). And if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team at customercare@collecdev.com. We’re always here to help.

Committed to quality and community.

The PDI is just one more step in our constant quest to deliver a superior homeowner experience with meticulous attention to detail. It’s an important step to ensure that the reality of your new home at TRETTI delivers on what was promised – a vibrant, human-centred, multi-layered, complete community with uncompromising standards of quality. We’re committed to being with you every step of the way, working hard to realize a collective vision for a brighter future and to elevate your experience of everyday life.
