🏢 **Before you buy the condo, look beyond the unit.**
This building was built in 1994 and has a long history of building-envelope and leaky-condo concerns.
Over the years, issues have involved areas such as the exterior envelope, cladding and siding, windows and doors, balconies, roofing, plumbing, mechanical systems, and common areas.
And there’s an important lesson here:
**A beautiful unit doesn’t necessarily mean a healthy building.**
Before buying an older condo, it’s critical to review the strata documents, depreciation reports, engineering reports, meeting minutes, insurance information, repair history, and special levies.
In this particular building, some owners have reportedly paid **more than $300,000 in special levies** over the years.
That’s why the lowest-priced unit isn’t always the best deal.
You’re not just buying a condo—you’re buying into the **building and its history.**
🔍 **Do your due diligence before you make an offer.**
If you’re thinking about buying a condo, I can help you understand what to look for and what questions to ask.
**Don’t just buy the unit. Check the building.**
