TLDR: Not rent controlled and management sucks, but there's some nice features if you don't care about those things.
Issues: As said in other reviews, this property is not rent controlled and existing tenant rents have increased by about 11%. Many people have been forced to move due to the unaffordable increase. There is no on-site superintendent, so you have to email to submit complaints or ask a question and they almost never respond. They'll also tell you to call their 24/7 phone line to
...submit complaints or ask questions, but this is a general line and they just forward your requests onto the same non-responsive people. If they do respond, it's usually dismissive or unhelpful. The "private" pool is rented out twice a week, including on Saturdays, to a swim school that allows non residents into the building. They have actively tried to squash the tenants association from exercising its rights in discussing fair rent increases and having basic improvements made. The guest parking system never works properly and they refuse to do anything about it. You have to use the elevator no matter what floor you live on because the stairs only allow you to exit outside, which is frustrating when you live on a lower level or there is a line up of people waiting. The dog area is full of some kind of weird mulch that stains dogs' paws. The pool and gym hours are very limited. I don't drive, but I've heard parking spaces are very expensive.
Pros: great location, right next to high park station. In suite laundry and dishwasher. Good sound proofing to outside and between units, although sound proofing between the unit and the hallway leaves a lot to be desired. Large kitchen space and well laid out units. Self controlled heating and ac, although you do pay utilities yourself. Building has a deal with Rogers to get pretty well priced internet (optional). Underground secure bike storage. BBQ area available in the summer. Maintenance team is friendly and generally pretty reliable. Playground on site if you have kids. Pet friendly. Dog washing room on the main floor.
