"Nice building"
Pros: Location is ridiculously convenient, IGA is right next door as is Yaletown, Robson Street, etc. Twin balconies on opposite sides of the apartment keep the units cool even during blistering heat waves. No need for AC here. Gym is expansive and always empty due to the small number of residents. The other residents tend to be older and pretty quiet. Units are huge Cons: Exceedingly noisy area, a fire station is directly below along with the building being sandwiched in between Robson and Smithe. Fixtures and fittings are way behind most other buildings in the area (e.g. the Mondrian). Hollow doors, no granite countertops or HW floors). No Novus fibre-optic! The rear quarter of the building is EIFs

We lived in this amazing Bing Thom building for 8 years and sold in 2006 (wished we didn't have to and really miss it). It was built 19 years ago so of course the original finishes are 'behind', and owners have been renovating as a result for several years now (we'd put in hardwood when the building was about 9 years old and granite counters, too, and we were hardly the only ones). The hallway carpets were replaced with squares that can be economically replaced as needed without replacing the entire floor; and, the gym and amenity area has been renovated. The doors to the units themselves are the nicest I've seen anywhere. They do now have Novus (2012). I was a resident when they had a significant, proactive engineering review done by a pre-eminent firm (RDH) and a multi-year maintenance plan was put in place and being implemented per plan. That included the alley-side EFIS which was deemed at the time to be in excellent shape. (Note: only a small overall percentage of even the alley-side is EFIS - there are whole concrete sections that are often mistaken for it). We loved that there were only three suites per floor. It felt exclusive and meant each unit had 180-degree exposures.
