I was looking for reviews for other condos in Vancouver since I m moving to another city Then I was curious about the condo I m renting right now so I searched about TV towers and I felt uncomfortable about some of the reviews so I m writing about my opinion about the building I ve been renting a unit at TV tower for about a year and I didn't see much of a problem with the security or with the neighbors There haven't been many parties There once was a huge party one floor above though and when I called the concierge desk and talked about it the staffs mediated the issue in a nice manner and all was well resolved The building maintenance has been good too Things including the water pressure temperature waste disposal maintenance mail services and the elevators there are 3 elevators were fine

Below is my review of TV Towers I decided to post here because some earlier negative comments are in my opinion way overblown I have lived at this building since February 2011 and am very happy with the maintenance concierge services cleanliness and elevators If anything I find that the gym can get a little crowded The location is perfect and considering where it is it's amazingly quiet I hope above helps cheers

I am reading some of the older reviews and can't help thinking that they have been posted by a disgruntled tenant and or concierge staff that was let go I have proudly owned in TV Tower 1 since 2009 Prior to that I have owned in other Yaletown and Downtown buildings including the Seastar The Domus The Alvar and the West One and I must say TV Towers compares just as favorably All downtown buildings have good and bad residents but it is reassuring to know that this buildings management is very firm at enforcing the rules and by laws whether you are an owner or a tenant Examples If there are noisy neighbours you call the concierge to come verify the noise and s he will issue a warning a second offence will get you a fine The parkade gate has a traffic light system so that everyone waits for the gate to close and not let anyone else in This is monitored by camera's not waiting for the gate to close will land you a fine Since this system was implemented I have not heard of any car break ins Elevators Especially in newer buildings in the first few years there is a high turn over of residents and like most other buildings TV Towers has busy move in out days mostly at month end but all moves must be between 10 am and 4 pm minimizing the wait for other residents I never had to wait longer than a few minutes In summary I am very happy to be at TV Towers and have no plans of moving

I actually don't agree with the many of the reviews here since the condo works really nice for me Many people have mentioned concierge problems but I have never experienced any hostile or misconducted behavior from the concierges Many of them I have met were okay Not too close not too far they know how to keep their distance There are female concierges as well so it was even better I don't find my neighbors particularly loud or rude or dangerous Location is obviously great The building's in the central part of Vancouver and the library is right beside the building Transportation is also nice since there are buses connected to everywhere to works in downtown schools including UBC and SFU shopping malls post office etc with zero or one transfer mostly Personally I enjoy the unit I live in since I see the mountains and the sea as well as the city view not sure about other units though I live in the 2nd TV tower building on Robson So far I find the condo very satisfactory

Our daughter started her undergrad studies at UBC and we rented a 2 bedroom in tv towers II for her When we first looked at the building we were very pleased with the location and how new everything seemed and the rent of 2200 seemed justified for the space and location Two weeks into her stay my daughter started complaining about the noise in the building that came from parties on the upper and lower floors At night she could not rest in her bedroom as her neighbor prefered to smoke cigarettes and other substances on his balcony next to her bedroom window As other people already described the concierge service is very unprofessional and my daughter usually waited for the female concierge to be on duty feeling very uncomfortable with the way the male concierges in general and especially the tall male concierge treated her After my husband tried to resolve the situation with the concierge they accused my daughter of keeping an illegal cat in her unit that would be jumping up and down in the bathtub yes they really said that and got a noise complaint from the neighbors Luckily we have medical proof that my daughter is highly allergic to cats which helped us sort out this issue with her landlord very quickly but it was still a very unpleasant experience

My spouse and I have lived at TV Towers for quite some time When the strata decided to go with Master Hospitality the quality of concierge service went downhill We too have been unable to get some of our mail as some of my parcels only have K instead of Kelly As of today we have 4 parcels that we are not allowed to get
