Harbour Plaza Residences, Toronto Condo Reviews 

...I would like to use this chance to address all the issues and concerns other reviewers had. I have been living here for over a year now and prior to Harbour Plaza, I lived in two other brand new downtown condos, 88 Scott and 60 Colborne, so I have a pretty good comparison. The first issue, Canada Post. This is no longer an issue as CP has installed parcel lockers next to the mailroom for residents to pick up their packages. If the parcel lockers are full they will either deliver it up to your door or drop it off at a nearby shopper's drug mart for pick-up. During COVID, however, the concierge has been accepting them like parcels from any other carrier. The second issue regarding floors, I notice there is one resident who is particularly loud about floating/detaching floors and claiming others have the same issue. I can say that I and nine other residents that I know do not have this issue nor have we heard about it before. But do note that floors at or below the 58th floor uses laminate flooring while floors above 58 use engineered hardwood. The third issue regarding high floor noise, the builder has installed metal brackets at the centre of each balcony screen to counteract reverberation caused by strong winds. Moving elevator deposits is not an uncommon thing, all the previous condos I lived in also had them to prevent and pay for damages that occurred during move-in/out. The fourth issue, Airbnb is not allowed in this building, unlike the two neighbouring buildings (ICE & Maple Leaf Square) and any owners putting their unit(s) up for a short-term rental is violating the bylaw and purposely circumventing the system. The last issue I want to address is elevators. I wouldn't say it breaks down often, but when it does, it takes a long time for the custom parts to arrive, which is probably why some residents think that it frequently breaks down. Other times it could just be new residents moving in and they have the elevator booked for 3 hours. Each building has two elevator banks, one for high rise (44 - 73) and one for low rise (10 - 43), and each bank has three elevators. So that is a total of 6 elevators servicing ~70 floors. Trust me when I say this setup is much better than the other condos I have lived in. At the first building I lived in, there are only 4 elevators servicing 58 floors, and it doesn't distinguish between high-rise and low-rise. When one elevator is down, and there is ALWAYS at least one broken year-round, you will rather take the stairs. So I am already very grateful that there are 3 elevators that service my floor. Try booking a tour at the other buildings (or read their reviews on here) and you will know what I mean. The last note I wanted to mention is that there are two buildings within this complex. If something happened at one building doesn't mean it happened at the other (e.g. elevators), so do your due diligence...
