And yikes what an ugly building to live in haha. I wish they never painted the grey.
I wouldn't care about the outside. What will be great is not hearing any thudding coming from heavy walkers from the next floor up.
Also, having 3 elevators for 91 units is really great. When I lived in Hamilton we lived in a 7 storey building with 1 elevator - something like 14 units per floor. There was waiting. Usually we took the stairs down. We were on the 6th floor.
When the father in law lived at The York in Kitchener, that place only had the 1 elevator, and he was on the 6th floor as well. Moving day, we were walking up all the flights (and these are larger flights than typical).
While the building won't win any beauty contests - you know you're safe - it has great bones. I love repurposed buildings, as there is a lot more thought on how to convert to a living suite. You almost always end up with much better units.
Well, no comparison to The York. I've been through lots of different apartments in my younger days, never seen anything as good as The York.
