If you own a unit at Ice Condos, you may not like this.
I tell people to stay clear of Ice condos for a reason.

Some realtors don’t give a shit or are just clueless. She should have done some research though. There’s so much out there in this condo. Another shitty lanterra project.niche54 wrote: ↑ TikTok has so many of these videos. Lol I knew it was bad. I had a coworker live here when it opened. She didn’t even last her one year lease lol. And that’s way before the shootings and parties. But i had no idea it was this bad.
I would like to say that a) her realtor is real scum to show her this place b) how could someone who has lived in Toronto since 2017 not know about this place and c) she moved in during the midst of the pandemic….she could have found so many better places then this. It just doesn’t add up.

As I said. Lanterra built. I’m not sure if it’s still the case but wouldn’t be surprised if their new buildings has the same soundproofing issues. It’s very poor. Cheap product all around.professormeth wrote: ↑ I've had some experience with Ice Condos and it's honestly the worst condo I've been in by FAR. Some key reasons:
- Sound isolation is horrendous. Not only from the doors, but the windows too. I thought the windows were open since there was so much outside noise, but no, they're just that poorly insulated
- hot water took forever to come. Literally takes 30+ seconds in the mornings and depending on hot water demand, the taps might not even get that hot
- hallways were full of garbage smell. Chutes were often broken and the garbage rooms were packed of garbage bags on the floor
- no visitor parking - they used to have it but took it away in 2019
- you have to switch elevators when going from the garage to the main condo floors
- elevators were often broken. 3 for the lower units and 3 for the higher units. The elevator waiting "lobby" is tiny and cramped. Imagine a small and narrow hallway with 6 elevators
- tons of randoms in the lobby due to this being and Airbnb building. Felt more like being inside a hotel than a private condo residence. Lots of partying going on and always loud
Stay far away from this condo. There are tons of way better options in the vicinity.

THIS is condo life.jmc111 wrote: ↑ I rented a Tridel condo unit (30+ floors) that was only 4 years old in North York for 1 year. It was a Leeds building.
.slamming of doors next door (called property management and security many times but no luck)
.smell of food
.only 2 elevators operational (at times)
.window latch broken/non operational due to defect
.number of fire department calls (one time couldn't get into condo for 2-3 hours)
.got stuck in the elevator with 10 other ppl on Boxing day for 45 minutes (had to crawl out in between floors)
.lugging groceries up the elevator always a pain in the axx
When you own a condo, you don't really own it. Property management does have a key to access (but must notify you before entering). I don't like it.
Never again.

Elevator stopping can happen anywhere

Exactly. I used to live in a condo for over 10 years and it was amazing however one time someone moved above me which likes to move chairs and drop things at 4:00 a.m. in the morning 2:00 a.m. waking me up.

Better find a detached house. The way homes with attached units are built....you will deal with noise.rfdrfd wrote: ↑ Yup it's bad but that's condo living. If your condo is better then that's simply luck
