Don't do it

 
(1.7 out of 5 stars)
by Sunshine1996 Apr 22, 2021
...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...

DO NOT RENT OR BUY HERE

 
(1.7 out of 5 stars)
by MY Nov 12, 2020
...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...

Stay away from this building

 
(1.0 out of 5 stars)

...Apart from the location, the building is crap. All 3 elevators never work. One of them has been out of service since 2 months. Its usually 2 or 1 in service. Today there are no elevators working at all due to a flooding in the building. Something has to go wrong with building all the time. I feel the building is poorly constructed with cheap equipments. Elevators out of service all the time, appliances break, flooding in the building (11th floor is a disaster after the flooding), Fire alarms at midnight to scare people while sleeping, no visitor parking, no hot water, long wait times for elevators, people getting struck in elevators and the list goes on. What surprises me if there is an issue - I feel they go for a short fix and the issue surfaces again. Recommend to stay away from renting or buying if you want to save yourself the trouble...

The worst building in Toronto

 
(1.0 out of 5 stars)
by ms.to.renter Jan 22, 2019
...Pretty much ticks all the boxes for what you DON'T want in a home. Floorplans are tiny, walls are thin, no guest parking, location is extremely loud, ridden with AirBNB short-term renters, and pipes are constantly bursting in the building. The majority of your days will be spent taking the stairs as the building is usually down to one elevator. It's worse in the winter months when there's a queue for the elevator extending out the front door...

S*** hole

 
(1.0 out of 5 stars)

...This condo is the worst place one can imaging. Always there is only one or no elevator working. In the morning you have to spend 15 min for the elevator, how comfortable? There is issue with heating in winter and cooling in summer. In winter every other day there is no hot water. Management sucks. Parking is crappy, ppl park in the back alley you can't get in, especially in summer when clubs are running after 11 you are screwed. Locker got stolen management did not take any responsibility. Every year pipes burst. It's a mess here, it's a wrecking ship man. They know ppl would rent and demand is high that is why they do not care...
