never buy here building should be condemned
What a terrible and untrue thing to say. I have lived here 15 years, and, yep, problems, like ALL other buildings but taken care of and there is a consul that is Proactive. Every issue that comes along has been taken care of in a timely manner! (That's FIFTEEN years!)
Building has major parkade, water ingress & envelope problems. 2010 Engineer's report still not addressed. Prepare for big special assessment fee. 2012 notes by owner.
Hi Can anyone verify if this has been fixed? " major parkade, water ingress & envelope problems. 2010 Engineer's report still not addressed. Prepare for big special assessment fee. 2012 notes by owner. "
That engineer just reported on behalf of his own company project, not for owners at all, don't believe him
Is there any new assessment coming? needed?
This building is a joke, do not buy here. The caretaker is a lazy POS and the current strata council are idiots.
There was a unit with bed bugs on the 14th floor and silver fish are a regular sight.
Assessment for the elevators within 5 years
There are bed bugs on the 15th floor
Bed bugs on the 14 and 15th floors, the elevators need to be replaced within 5 years and will cost over $1,000,000
The parkade has been fixed. The current strata counsel is very pro-active.
The person who wrote a negative about the caretaker and the 14th floor is probably the person that got the boot because they were legally not allowed to live here. They moved 2 blocks away and go to open houses to trash talk the building. TG they are gone.
Big big assessments coming - depreciation report shows elevator - 5 k per suite now, plus $3.4 million at least to fix stucco envelope - last time they just painted over the problem so it needs to be done very soon. Lots of listings comig up...see sales activity
Whoa you're right 2 sales in last 2 months and 6 current listings! Please walk don't run to the nearest exit
Genworth won't insure so min 20% down and why won't they insure? hmmmmmmm
Assessments!!!
Since March 2016 there have been 9 places up for sale in this building, and it's only June. Buy into a newer building. Several assessments coming up.
Council not proactive with elevators. Keep delaying the fix which will cost more in the end. Building is falling apart and Council is doing nothing
Oh Dave shut the hell up. If you don't like being the caretaker there then get the hell out instead of writing negative comments on here about council.
Sure hope you pay the new caretaker the same amount as me, $54,000/yr. That building is pathetic and so are you Ginger and Ed.
$54,000/year for a caretaker? That's outrageous. Since when did blue collar people earn so much money?
the building is down the hill. very noisy.you can hear all the traffic everyday..the building is very old if you want to buy, a condo not this one, its big head-ache, always assestment..my advise is buy a newer building. & after a few year sale it.. living in a old condo is a head-ache. good luck to you all if you want to buy this building.....
Still messing around with the exterior walls!! I first heard about it in 2003-2004! the labour and materials must have gone up so much they can't afford to do the work anymore. Glad I left that place! It would have bankrupted me and sorry for anyone living there now!
Lookimg thru the comments and realtor bringing in the assessments this build maybe nearing the life span of a high rise condo. Sounds like the counsel and residence is no different from what's going on both provincial and federal governments, lots of bickering!
god bless you all
run don't walk from this building.
Ginger and Ed are gone, where did they go.
just looked at a unit here.My advice would be to buy elsewhere.Please read minutes. good luck to who chooses to remain here.
I see 1507 is for sale, unit belongs to Ed and Virginia. Had bed bug issue and the carpet in front of unit 1507 stinks link urine, be advised, do not purchase in this building.
Cowards don't leave their names, but freely use other peoples names. Be an adult and contact one of the realtors who are selling in that building, Maybe they can update you on your accusations. Use your time more wisely rather than a personal vendetta.
Update, that building is a joke, the envelope needs repair at an expense of over $2M, I lived in this building for 15 years and sold and took a loss. My name is Pili Hernandez and I lived in 1407.
Huh? What's with the negative comments. This is a decent bldg. If you want a newer building be prepared to pay more, especially the with the cost of real estate. I'm so glad to live in a concrete hirise and not a wood frame building. If there was a fire in a wood frame, it would burn so quickly. Also glad that it's so close to Columbia skytrain if I need it. So glad I don't need to cross a bridge to go to Vancouver.
