"Great for investors"

I own two units in this building and love everything about it. Very pro-active strata keeps the place well maintained, clean and safe. Only down side is the lack of a parking garage. Favour the North side as the South facing units are too hot in the summer, even with the central air-conditioning.

"(unbiased) review from a
current resident"

I've been living in a 1-bedroom unit at the Electra for over 7 months. What attracted me to looking into buying a unit here was the fact that the building looks very unique among the Downtown condo buildings - and it's a beautiful building, with heritage designation as a bonus. My unit is facing northeast & is on a low level - yet at all times it feels sufficiently bright. I love the big & tainted windows. Love the utterly central location (it's literally in the middle of Downtown!). The security is excellent - I am a single girl & thus far have felt completely at ease living alone there. On the flip side... we used to have a very lousy Property Management company (Facilitech) and the strata Executive last year did a terrible job, resulting in significant budget deficit. However, the newly elected Executive has rectified most of the long-pending problems and now everything is arguably back on track.

"Nice"

Friends from out of town stayed in a furnished condo here. The condo and building were more than adequate for their stay. Location is good, right in the middle of downtown. I would definitely consider buying in this condo as an investment as well as to live in. Just depends on price. How much cheaper is it than a condo by the water and Yaletown? That would decide it for me.
