Beautiful heritage building around fabulous shopping area and galleries Close to the ocean and filled with amazing walking opportunities The building is impeccably clean Has great management and is perfect for the professional who finds themselves traveling a lot The building is filled with a lot of forward thinkers People are friendly courteous and open minded I have formed numerous friendships while living in the building and continue to do so We have families singles married couples both straight and gay dogs cats and every nationality you can imagine Everyone is welcome

I was so looking forward to moving into this unit The outdoor courtyard was very interested and the unit was nicely styled I am a big fan of quiet buildings and I though the so called rock solid construction a mixture of concrete and steel beams would be the best noise reducing combo For a building with concrete walls I was very disappointed to find that you can hear your neighbours talking their music and the banging of their cabinets There are no soft closing hinges on the cabinets and all you hear is banging all the time The layout of the building isn't great To get to the garbage room you go down multiple flights of narrow stairs when carrying bags of trash this is not easy The unit parking is way down on P 3 about 5 half stories of public parking down The bicycle room is on P 2 so to get your bike out you have to bike up 3 half stories When it rains a big puddle forms on the 3rd floor in Vancouver that means there is a constant puddle on the floor The interior courtyard is paved so not only visually disappointing but a major noise factor People coming in late at night make a huge amount of noise and when your bedroom faces the courtyard this is an issue Finally I have yet to meet a friendly person in this building No one makes eye contact let alone says hi or holds a door for you when you're carrying a heavy load There are loads of families tons of dogs some with owners that let them bark all the time but no one neighbourly
