I have owned and lived in 3 buildings in the City Centre area and recently moved from this one to pursue work in the Fraser Valley This building was pretty well cared for by the current care taker Since he lives there it was easy to get issues addressed As my ratings show it was average overall but I would hint that the potential in the area is increasing By this I mean the LRT lines Forsyth park development across the street including sports fields dog park And the Porte HQ building projects down the street should liven the street I can't speak about the strata council since I had very few interactions The University district is booming compared to this corner of City Centre but according to City plans development is due to increase here in the near future I own a unit Fuse opposite corner of City Centre being a complex of townhouses built in 2009 My value there increased 20 last year but my assessment here was equal to 2015 no change

Unit too hot and poorly built must have windows opened People party every night making sleep impossible with windows open Garbage dumpster dragged across concrete at 6 am on Mondays and Fridays guaranteed to wake you up Strata council doesn't care about renters will find a way to fine most people Avoid at all costs Strong belief that any positive reviews are shills My family and I were not problem tenants as previous reviewers have stated There was not a time that we had any complaints against us

I am just writing to say thank you to the strata and the resident manager for doing a great job The condo has come a long way from where it was The resident manager is doing a great job making sure that people are following the rules of the building which is needed when you have so many people living in such close quarters Anyone who says the building is a nightmare and were bullied is an idiot I lived at the building for 2 5 years and never had one problem because I followed the bylaws and respected my neighbors No matter what in any condo or apartment your going to have some issues but this building has very minimal I would recommend this building to renters or investors as it continues to be a great location that the city is constantly working on

I have read the previous posts and do not understand what the peoples problem are that posted such negative reviews I have lived in this building for just over 2 years now and have seen the strata form and work hard to get the building where it is today The council did not have much to begin with taking over a bran new building with hardly any security in place They worked hard to get the nice security system that we have in place today and it has been very effective I have seen a lot of tenants come and go but I am glad the strata is staying on top of the renters that are causing problems in this building You will always have issues when rentals come into play but it's how the situations are dealt with that matter It is a very safe feeling building now and the resident manager is doing a great job enforcing the bylaws I am very happy with this building and am glad that we have such a proactive strata council as I would not want to be in there shoes I recommend this building for anyone Do not let a couple negative comments keep you from looking at this place

The location has it's problems which are shared by all the developments in the area Since the negative reviews have been posted the buiding has revamped it's security dramatically which made a big difference in the year that I lived there There are bad apples in every building including this one with some drug dealers etc who have since been removed I couldn't help but write this review since seeing some overly negative posts by people who obviously have a personal axe to grind Overall the people and neighbors that I met were fine Amenities were lacking so not sure if that has changed

This is a great place to live The manager keeps the bad tenants in control He kicks out druggies and late night partiers It is very safe for me and my family Thanks to all the people that work hard to make it safe And the cleaners are always working hard to keep it looking nice We love it here So if the evil strata made your life difficult you were probably doing something bad Keep up the good work guys whoever you are
