Mozo Condo, Toronto Condo Reviews 

I've been a fan of this condo for a long time. The design/scale of the building is superb and I've always liked the King East area. Before I bought my place at Market Wharf, I looked at a number of 1 bedroom suites in this building but couldn't find anything liked.

My 3 biggest complaints were:

1) The building had long double loaded corridors 2) The suite layouts felt awkward 3) Many of the units were two-storey, but only had a small foyer on the lower floor and stairs leading upstairs. This is an old design trick developed by Le Corbusier (Swiss-born French architect) to reduce the number of corridors needed throughout the building (look up "skip stop" corridors). It's a brilliant design idea, but I didn't want a unit like that.

Though, I'm sure all the units aren't like that, so I'm still going to give the building a 4. I'd recommend it to a friend.

I have been living at the Mozo pretty much since the beginning and even bought another unit in the same building after a few years. The location is outstanding, as it's walking distance to the financial district, the distillery, st. Lawrence market, Cabbagetown, the waterfront, etc. I live in a "walk-up" model which I found strange at first, but now I love it as it offers a degree of isolation from the hallway noise. It also affords an opportunity for the creative to introduce some unique decorating elements you won't find in standard units. The balconies are a great size - very easy to put a whole patio set out there and entertain. The building staff is generally very helpful. The only minor quibble is that the parking garage is shared with the building next door and sometimes you have jockey for positioning when getting in/out with your car.

The building's management office often does not return calls. The powerwash notices were not delivered to many residents and when the powerwash occurred many residents were forced to pay a $50 fee despite the administrative error.
