Peter Street Condos, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...These are the reasons why this building should be avoided, coming from a tenant that is happy to be moving somewhere else. 1. The building does look good and the units, but the materials are terrible qualities from toilet, doors, wall, and windows they keep breaking all the time. 2. Airbnb, you have plenty of party and sketchy people coming in and out all the time, one time the police break into the apartment next to me where the was an Airbnb, for the amount of police that was involved it looked like drug dealing or something like that. 3. Cockroaches in the trash shoot, every time I was going to shoot there was a cockroach 4. Only 3 elevators. This one time all three were broken, management is very bad, first, one elevator broke they never fix it, then the two others broke it was a mess. If you live on the 30 floors it is not a piece of cake to take the stairs. I felt like a prisoner in my own room. 5. Common areas? The gym was empty and always full, no lobby only a narrow hallway, and got even narrower when they installed some lockboxes. 6. They charge for everything, want to book the elevator? want to book a common area? you gotta pay two fees one refundable and one non-refundable...

...Well, I have finally moved out of this shithole. I was one of the first tenants in this building when it opened just over 6 years ago. I know this place inside and out and shit I've seen over the last 6 years... The only reason I gave it 1 1/2 stars is because my landlord was great. I'm not sure where to start but here we go 1) Management - Absolutely horrible and useless management (in 6 years, they've changed management 3 times and it just doesn't get better. The current management harassed me over a parking spot that wasn't even mine, regardless of how many times I told them that) 2) Concierge - apart from Ed (big, white guy working days), everyone else is utterly useless. They struggle to keep full-time staff so you get temp randos who are glued to their phones and don't even acknowledge you when you come in. I've seen staff passed out at the desk. 3) No visitors parking, nowhere to unload your car from shopping, etc. 4) Non-refundable fees for the elevator, party room, etc 5) My makeshift bedroom gym is better equipped than the condo one. Also, rando "personal trainers" from the building use the gym to train their EXTERNAL clients, taking little equipment that is there. 6) Airbnb, should I really say more? Sketchy people galore who don't care about respecting the property, physical distancing, masks, etc 7) ELEVATORS - every time it rains, the elevators don't work. Let that sink in (no pun intended). On one occasion, the elevators didn't work for almost 3 days. THREE DAYS. Forget about having to go up and down the most narrow staircase (two people cannot walk past each other), imagine if there was a medical emergency? 8) Condo board is made up of random people who don't live on the property and who get to decide how you live. Pros: 1) Location...

...Pros - Nice location - Friendly concierge and cleaning personnel Cons - Poor management - Terrible gym - Constant construction noises and loud vehicles - Fees for using the elevators - Large lineups to use the elevators - Noisy, rowdy neighbors - They don't accept packages over a certain size...

...I rented a unit here for four years and it was pretty good for the first year or two. The aesthetics of my unit are gorgeous with floor-to-ceiling glass windows, a huge balcony, open concept, and hidden appliances in the kitchen, which is what drew me to rent this unit. The location is also prime being steps away from an overpriced CityMarket, Shoppers, King and Spadina streetcars, and great dining, shopping, and entertainment. HOWEVER your day-to-day experience will be terrible. At least one elevator is broken all the time, the middle elevator gets stuck on a daily basis (terrifying), there are lots of AirBnB rowdy parties, the front desk people are friendly but generally loose about security and tenant concerns, there is no visitor parking, you have to pay for everything like booking the elevator or party room, and generally the quality is shabby. We had issues with the washing machine and fridge within 2 years, and noticed that window frames and finishings started to fall apart over time. You're much better off renting in a neighbouring property like 125 Peter St. for the same price...

... Convenient location with Starbucks and grocery store at the doorstep and other shopping, restaurants and public transportation in walking distance. Building is kept clean with spacious well layed out units compared to others I've seen. Amenities fit with my lifestyle and include a fitness studio, theater, billiards and most importantly a 24-hr concierge. As with any condo building, repairs or service has been ocassionally required. The key for me is that they have been addressed and resolved fairly quickly by property management...

...They have a three elevators and you almost never get the three working at the same time. Sometimes you have none working!! Constantly losing heating and hot water in January and February. They have a major issue with their boiler system. They also shut the AC early in September/ October while it can be 25 degree outside. Limited amenities for the price! The appliances are cheap and parts are not readily available and costly. Lightbulbs are not regular, expensive and not available...

...Where do I start. The sinks are shallow and water splashes everywhere. The appliances are complete junk and broke. The construction is is incredibly cheap and poor, especially in the kitchen. The water is never hot, the water pressure is even worse. The management is bad, what do they do all day? They can’t even bother to memorize the residents and buzz them in. The elevators are always broke. The gym is meh for a building this size. A few weights and cheap threadmills that always break. No visitor parking. Tons of airbnb in the lobby however our floor is pretty quiet and we’ve had no noise issues thus far. The one positive is the unit size we’ve got, it is great and the layout works perfectly for us...

...Renting here - it is a great building to live in. Location is walking distance to TTC, right near lots of activities. It is also right on top of a supermarket which is rare in downtown Toronto. Units have better furnishings than most others I've seen, better quality and useful details, like outlets in the islands, which make it great for cooks like me! The building has a good gym with lots of equipment. Only downvoted as it doesn't have a pool. Not a lot of noise for the location too...

...Don't pay too much attention to the negative reviews in here; most people are more motivated to review after a negative experience than after a positive experience. Pros: EXCELLENT location, Starbucks on the main floor, grocery shop less than 20ft away, great bunch of people, amenities are well maintained, good unit layouts, etc. Cons: As with virtually all other new buildings in DT Toronto, there are a few issues like elevator downtime, but if anything this building is better than average. Airbnb guests are generally better than the average condo dweller to be honest, and generally speaking, they tend to be quieter than a young/rowdy neighbor. Highly recommend!

...Good: Proximity to work/restaurants/cafe/shopping. New condo manager and board responses to issues quickly. Bad: Smaller lobby area. Can be noisy on weekend nights due to pub/club nearby Original owner/resident purchased from developer. Overall, I'm happy with my unit so far. On elevator comments: there was period of time (~2017) where the elevator service company was really bad (unresponsive to service call), but it had been improved drastically since the service company fired the previous area manager around mid 2017...

...This building is a disaster, one elevator is permanently down, and often times two of them are down. This makes the line-ups during rush hour span out the door and often have to wait 10 minutes just to board an elevator. This is due to the fact that the building was flooded shortly after it was build and the condo board refused to allocate proper funds to fix them permanently. The lobby is freezing in the winter and boiling in the summer as there is no air circulation. The security guard is rarely present and when he is, there is no control of who enters and exits the building. This building allows AirBnB rentals and during weekends and holidays, it is often packed with out-of-towners partying and leaving it a mess (breaking and scratching elevators, leaving beer bottles everywhere, peeing in the stairwell, making noise all night long). The amenities are practically non-existent, there is a gym with one machine, which is often broken, the treadmills and elliptical machines are not maintained so they are often out of commission too. The heater/air conditioner in the units do not fully turn on and off and management takes too long to switch from heat to cold, so often makes for a very uncomfortable experience during spring and fall...
