But yeah, I had a co-worker who lived there during the parkade issue and the parkade looked like one of those disaster movies where it looked like a collapsed concrete cave-in in many areas. I wonder if the tenants had to pay for it out of assessments. I'm guessing there were probably lawsuits filed, etc. as well.
I don't recall what the outcome was. Either way, sucked for the Tenants. The units there have always been pretty nice. Loved the view, many were newly renovated, etc. My issues were no in-suite laundry, clanky elevator and the common areas were dark and parkade seemed like it wasn't really cleaned on a regular basis (pretty dusty) and I wasn't a huge fan of the area at night. Other than that, it was pretty good overall.

Lots of other things to consider of course when buying but this simple newsletter is a very good sign.
I agree. It's well managed for sure. I don't deny that, but no issue is better than any issue. With that management, I presume there would be little risk for future big issues.
