The conditions look ok on the side, but wait till you open the dry walls. You are either missing parts of a vapour barrier or you have mould growing inside and you do not even know you are getting sick. Maintenance: as far as cleanliness it is excellent because the workers take their sweet time cleaning and socializing and don't even care if an old lady in a wheel chair needs an elevator. Security is useless. In the summer prostitutes will try to to convince anybody entering or leaving the back door that they either forgot their keys or their clients said to meet them there. When there is fire alarm and it happens on the night shift, it tales them hours to figure out how to shut it off and turn on the elevators. Location is beautiful, but after a while you will want to move out when you experience how management runs this place. I do not recommend living in a condo simply because the government laws are in favour of the corporation and not individual owners. The companies who manage condos have a lot of money to hire lawyers so that individual unit owners do not a chance to argue successfully. There is also a loophole in the condo act that must be turn around to morally correct bias and to have stronger rights for owners. After all the unit owners are the building owners and management companies work for owners.

Management spend the condo money on useless things instead of fixing real problems. The president of the board got a brand new door just because he didn't like the colour of it. Management focus their time covering their asses. When try to speak to one of them because you have a problem they will try their hardest to avoid you. I personally have seen the two women who ran management hide and ran away from a concerned unit owner. When you have a concern and they ignore you a few times the next time you push your concern the board will send you a letter from their lawyer stating that you have to stop harassing them and that you are an "impossible " person. People get on the board to get favours for their own units. They do not care about other units. They are corrupted. They will never show their contact info. They avoid transparency and accountability. I thought the views here were fantastic. But after a while and you get to know how this place is ran the fantastic view will start to look secondary. I am glad I sold my unit and moved to a house. The grand harbour was and is a nightmare and life is too short to be living in a place that is so full of misery. Overall is rate this place very very very poor. It is looks good on the outside but this building is build very poorly and the owners suffer the most losing money and time.

I thought the building was well built but I sold for a massive loss as the board president is decidedly corrupt. The other board members don't seem to be informed as to what is going on. President wants to borrow more and more money from lending institutions nobody has ever heard of....obviously friends of his. I sold at a massive loss but I'm glad I'm out. Condo fees just keep going up and if that's not bad enough there are so many special assessments for ridiculous expenses....friends helping friends. Government really needs to look into the management of these buildings. Living at Grand Harbour turned me off ever owning a condo again.

The people who manage the condo here are useless. They are very quick to wag fingers at the unit owners but it takes them months to fix anything. There is so much contractors working here without any supervision. The workers take their sweet time because they get paid by the hour. There are so many units with water damages. The building envelop gets penetrated by rain and strong wind and result in water leaks inside the walls. The cleaners take hours, all day, to clean and polish the elevator cars. There are 3 elevators and it takes 5 minutes for an elevator to arrive because the cleaners put it on service. The people in management office communicate very very poorly with building staff so when something screws up they just blame each other and the office does not take any responsibility of any wrong doing.

funny, it looks like one person wrote all three of these reviews. I'd like to know what other grand harbour residents think. We were thinking of purchasing there, but went for another building nearby.
I too was a former owner at Grand Harbour and totally agree with the comments made. The president of the board is out to make money for himself and his friends and special assessments are through the roof. Buildings are in so much debt all because of the president.
