"Glad I sold"

My unit was unbelievably hot which resulted in condensation issues. I had to replace the entire bottom of the wall by the window due to mold. The mold came back so I quickly fixed and sold. Buy/rent one of the townhouses with A/C otherwise keep away

Comment on this Review: unregistered user on April 28 2014: I was reading an article on Calgary's cbc website that said the tenants were having problems with their windows. The only windows that are truly efeective are not window walls but what are called curtain walls. Curtain walls have a thermal break in the metal so the cold does not penetrate to the inside. It is also the most expensive of glazing. I know, I worked in the trade for 30+ years. Most window walls last less than 10 years when you will need to replace most seals. I would never buy a condo with window walls. The only other alternative than curtain wall to keep away from water ingress is to make sure the window doesn't go past one floor. These are called punch windows and you can see they don't go more than one floor, but have concrete between the windows on each floor. Being a former tradesman that worked on these buildings when they were originally being built in Vancouver, the developers gave us glaziers an ultimatum when we balked at installing these windows becasue we knew they were garbage and that ultimatum was do it or be fired! Enough said. I would never buy a high-rise condo without curtain wall. Write a comment about this review Enter image text:

"Nice Condo and location
but Hot"

I have to agree with Ted. The condo I visited was extremely hot. Really too bad because almost everything else about the condo is so nice. Fantastic location right next to False Creek.

"Sucks!"

Sucks! Terrible design makes for smoking hot and uninhabital south facing units. Great staff though!
