Vu Condos, Toronto Condo Reviews 

I visited a friend in this building and got the complete tour.

I know what Vince is referring to when he says bulkier building - this is a sprawling complex with long corridors. It almost feels like a city unto itself.

I enjoyed the internal courtyard. It creates a cozy and intimate space away from (the busy) Jarvis St. The rooftop amenity space is probably the highlight of the building. It has great panoramic views of the city, communal BBQs, and even a bocce ball area (that feature, alone, probably deserves one star).

The finishes in the common areas are fairly standard. The corridors though are a bit drab. The wallpaper and dropped t-bar ceiling (popcorn ceiling in some areas) makes it feel like a basic midtier hotel. I noticed the motion sensors that Vince was talking about, but I think it's a great way to save money/energy.

Overall, 3 stars.

...I've lived here ever since the building occupied and wanted to share my view on this building also. For a large condo complex, I have to say that the building is extremely well run. And for a building to not have maintenance fees increase for the first 2 years, with bare minimal increases over subsequent years, attests to the focus by the condo board's commitment on running the complex properly (the building actually generates revenue yearly and this money is put back into it to improve it). The building is clean, quiet with an amazing concierge staff. It's also perfectly situated for downtown living. The gym is also really great - I canceled my gym membership in preference to working out in the building since it is fully equipped and cleaned daily. Although Brook points out that the elevator lobbies in the parking areas might be dated looking because of tiling (and I agree), it is just an elevator lobby in a parking garage. And some of the suite finishes could be better, but I bet you could say that about any condo you walk in. And developers tend to skimp out on finishes even in more expensive developments...
