I ve lived in this building for 4 5 years Unfortunately it has poor interior craftsmanship like many of the other downtown buildings built between 2005 2008 They were in a rush to finish the complex to make a quick buck A few notes The elevators break down once every 6 months Variable water temperature 2 yrs ago we had lukewarm water for 3 weeks straight Currently you must run the tap on cold for 5 mins not to burn yourself Water pressure is also currently variable Building shifts in the winter some front door deadbolts and patio doors shift in winter making them hard to close lock Poor appliance oven breaks down on cleaning cycle Parts must be replaced known issues with this model Security warnings to not let strangers in the building however a homeless man is allowed to visit the recycling room every other day Furnished suites rented by the day numerous transients in the building Currently our mail room is shut down due to a break in Canada post is directing all our mail to the main branch down town until the mailboxes have been repaired Overall this building is in a great location Now that the construction is completed on Richard's street behind the building we can all sleep in past 7 am Frank is a great building manager and tries his best but there is only so much that you can do with poor craftsmanship in the building Long story short I m glad to just be renting and not own in this building

Does anyone monitor these boards Is it possible to have old posts removed Change happens Problems more than two years ago should be history

As a young professional I love the location of the Bentley Close to work close to entertainment and surprisingly quiet compared to some neighbouring steets Since everything is within a short 15 minute walk I only drive on weekends My current view is nice too North East facing and dont need to ever worry about that ever changing given the low rise commercial buildings accross the street I plan to continue renting here as my job needs me to keep mobile I d recommend my friends to own rent here too

I ve been an owner from Day 1 and have been extremely pleased with my purchase till this day I have a young family and the building has been a pefect place to raise a young family Here are the best features of the building 1 Location This building is located in a very desirable location 10 minutes from most downtown attractions GM Place Pacific Center Sea Wall Yaletown We work downtown so we only drive on weekends 2 Price The building is above average yet you are not paying a premium due to unnessary amenities or high cost of conceirge 3 Adequate of long Term owners tenants makes the buildign feel safe and a place to really call home A lots of us have taken time to also get to know each other creating a sense of community amoungst many of us 4 Good Live in Resident Manager Frank genuinely cares for well being of the building and its residents Note The review on Nov 2009 is

I have lived in the Bentley for 3 years and I have had the lousy pleasure to have hammering above me everyday Other tenants in building have complained to building manager Frank but get told that Nothing can be done I am waken at 9 am everyday with loud hammers above head and this proceeds to follow ALL day until about 10 pm at NIGHT Sometimes even waking me up in the precious 4 hours I have without hammering at about 3 am or 4 All the building from floors 4 10 are affected by this It is a real shame when you can not even get proper rest in the building you live in And to the people that are using their apartment as their workplace STOP already U have affected peoples lives terribly Do NOT move Or buy in this building it is the worst looked after building in Vancouver

Bentley seemed pretty average for the area Typical Polygon building Which means the quality is pretty good But for the area I don't know what makes this building stand out from the others If somebody has anything they can tell me about the Bentley please let me know
