Front desk is extraordinarily bad It's not really a concierge just security and not even good one at that It took them 3 weeks to set me and my partner up with a buzzer code and that included 4 times of me having to come down and explain that the last 3 times didn't work and would they please do it properly this time and actually check to see if it works once they've set it up The fourth time I had to yell that I wasn't going to fill out the same damn form multiple times because oh I don't know who has it here why don't you fill out another piece of paper that I ll let sit around for weeks and take no responsibility for Property Management does not communicate adequately Water shutoffs not communicated via portal but they told me they put up a sign in the lobby ON THE MORNING OF Well that sure helps Garbage chute is off a lot an

Moved in a month ago and this building is a NIGHTMARE There's some sort of broken duct fan in the ceiling so there is a horrible intermittent scraping screeching sound that can be ignored but apparently isn't a big enough issue to fix Garbage chute is out of service almost every night appliances are shoddy plumbing, tap fixture broken This is clearly a building where the developer cut costs everywhere they could Everything was done as cheaply as possible Panels of glass used to fall off the balconies and they all had to be replaced years ago google it it's clearly representative of the overall construction quality DO NOT RENT OR BUY HERE If you are unfortunate enough to have bought one of these units I feel so sorry for you

Just wanted to add how interesting it is to see so many positive reviews saying things have changed and we can't change the past and old reviews should be taken down This is clearly management realtors or owners who don't like the fact that the value of their unit is sliding every day because of ex residents like me who are leaving telling their real estate agents how horrible of a place this is and reviewing it honestly on websites like these to warn people away There are so many great places in the city where the management don't have complaints against them by the better business bureau there have never been lawsuits related to faulty construction I m assuming that's why the quality of the building has gone sharply downhill and have better ratings on them in public forums like this one

I would recommend this building to no one Unless you like Garbage chute broken every day A smell of garbage on half your floor permeating from the chute Three elevators for 45 floors at least one of them non operational Do you enjoy waiting up to 20 minutes for an elevator during the morning rush to work Poorly trained and surly security guards RBG only two on staff at any given time They spit on the floor pick their teeth while talking to you aren't around for hours at a time and when you ask them anything their default answer is it's your problem take it up with management What's not to love Building management that doesn't respond to phone calls and emails from residents A steam room that's been closed for four months and will remain closed indefinitely according to the signage the last time I was in building Jan A gym with seven pieces of cardio equipment about one down at any given time and some held together with yellow electrical tape no joke and floors that seem perpetually caked in dirt No access to water in your unit about once per week 9 5 for plumbing Poorly trained security and contractors accessing your unit about once per month without your prior knowledge to fix heating cooling system Paying more than 300 per month in condo fees for the poor security broken steam room tiny gym with broken dirty equipment Not for me but maybe there's someone out there who's into this stuff

I've lived in a 38 Grenville for several years Unfortunately this building is in fast decline They switched security guards several months ago and the new company is incredibly hostile They'll really go out of their way not to help you and their general level of helpfulness is abysmal The building manager is also quite a handful Her demeanour is at best condescending and at worse incredibly rude A particularly rude building manager would be okay if not for her complete inability to keep the building intact Elevators break down in the mornings when you're trying to get to work windows never get cleaner heck your balcony might even fall off your unit and into the street Google it At the end of the day there are so many options in this city to live Choose a place with better management and security that makes you feel safe not threatened

I planned to purchase a condo in downtown Toronto and started looking and viewing with my broker since the beginning of May My targeted area was the Bay College intersection and 763 Bay was my most desired location I've visited 763 Bay for several times and had a great impression of the building However there were very few available units on sale and competitive offers made the condo prices much higher than they really worth Who doesn't love 763 Bay So I decided to explore the Bay College area a little bit and give other condos a chance Note Due to word limit my comment is divided into 5 Parts Please see the next post for more information
