| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Mark 101Sage Hill, Calgary206 units | 8.2/ 10 | 7.5/ 10 | 7.5/ 10 |
The only building-specific aggregate located is 5/5, but the listing does not state a review count, so it cannot establish a strong evidence base; the score is therefore kept within one point of the 6.5 fallback level for sub-10-review evidence. Four displayed written reviews were all positive and recurring praise concerned interiors, customer service and convenience, with no reported complaint theme to reduce the result. Current completion status is supported separately by Livabl, which labels the project “COMPLETED 2022”; that is not a review rating. | |||
The published reviews and contemporary reporting are positive about the physical product: one reviewer cited “high quality of interiors,” while another praised “high end finishes.” A buyer specifically said the layers of drywall and ceiling meant, “I don’t hear my neighbours”; these are buyer reports from the 2018–2020 sales period, not an independent current inspection, and no published defect or systems review was located. | The written feedback is uniformly favorable but largely concerns the purchase and initial product experience rather than long-term condo management. Reviewers described staff as “wonderful” and customer service as “excellent”; a buyer also said she wanted to feel “perfectly safe,” citing cameras and controlled access, while another praised the nearby groceries, gyms, restaurants and walking paths. | ||
| The TownsMidtown, Airdrie49 units | 7.5/ 10 | 7.5/ 10 | 7.6/ 10 |
The 4.3/5 aggregate from 31 reviews sets the level and converts to 7.9/10. The score is tempered by reported post-possession flooding and water intrusion, with a smaller offset for repeated praise of staff responsiveness and the community setting. Earlier coverage projected mid-to-late 2025 completion, while the developer’s current page says the project is sold out; the review narratives are mostly older, so current conditions remain somewhat uncertain. | |||
The review page includes one severe water-intrusion report: “Within 3 weeks of taking possession of my new home, it flooded!!!!” and attributes the incident to “poor exterior installation,” with flooring and baseboards reportedly damaged. Another reviewer said, “It's leaking the washer coming through window... no response,” while a separate review praised the home’s heating as “very effective and efficient.” | Several displayed reviews praised the sales experience: one said the representative was “always available anytime we had questions,” and another said she “took special care in answering questions promptly.” The negative reviews describe poor follow-up, including “no response,” and one said a representative was “very rude and unprofessional” after a reported flood; independent coverage also describes nearby retail, playgrounds, walking spaces and a dog park. |
