I live in this building and I’m happy to say that they finally replaced the management company. It is night and day compared to the old comapny. They new company is a thousand times easier to work with, and respond to emails instantly. I also love the fact that it’s right behind Capital Brewery. In the summer I can sit on my balcony every night and listen to live music. It’s great.

I lived there for 6 years and regretted buying the condo in Valencia Lofts. There are a couple of positives but many negatives. POSITIVES 1. Nice downtown location. 2. The industrial loft style appeals to me. NEGATIVES 1. My biggest complaint is the management company. The condo manager does not do his job and is a pain to deal with. As a result, the building has been deteriorating in many ways(bad window mechanisms in most units, peeling exterior paint, leaking brick walls, weak roof structure, etc.). Also, the manager is rude and does not return calls/emails. 2. Leasing is prohibited by the condo rules. Condo owners often have to sell low due to the high holding cost. I did not realize this would be an issue when I bought the place. 3. Only 30 feet from railroad. Passing freight trains(3 – 4 times a day) are extremely loud and shake the whole building. It took me years to get used to the noise and shaking at night. 4. Too close to Capital Brewery. Music is played in the beer garden on weekends from 3 to 10 pm and is loud inside the building. 5. Bare brick walls mean poor insulation. Monthly utility bills run as high as $ 400 for a 2 bedroom unit.
