| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| Daniels FirstHome Keelesdale 3Toronto100 units | 9.4/ 10 | —/ 10 | —/ 10 |
Tall Property publishes the largest building-specific aggregate located in this review, 4.8/5 from 68 votes; using the stated 1–10 market conversion between 4.5/5 = 8.5 and 5/5 = 10 gives 9.4. MyCondoPro also shows 5.00/5, but its three-vote base is below the ten-review anchor threshold and is therefore not used to set the level; no recurring complaints or praise were established from individual reviews. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | no notes returned no links returned | ||
| The Thornhill — first residenceThornhill, Vaughan | 8.0/ 10 | —/ 10 | 7.7/ 10 |
Google Reviews/Maps supplies the only qualifying building-specific aggregate located: 4.7/5 from 9 reviews. Its direct conversion would be above the small-sample limit, so the score is held within one point of 6.5 at 7.5, then moved modestly upward for repeated praise of the location; the available evidence does not support a structure score. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | The available resident feedback is positive about convenience: one reviewer called the condos “Beautiful” and highlighted walking distance to parks, Walmart, Promenade Mall, schools and local services. A separate review reported, “Too noisy at night young men drive cars in and out fast”; this is a single complaint, not a recurring theme, and no published review evidence was found about management response, security performance or common-area upkeep. | ||
| Artworks TowerRegent Park, Toronto | 7.5/ 10 | 6.6/ 10 CondoGenius 4/5 · 1 review · condogenius.io CondoGenius publishes 4/5 from 1 review. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 6.6. | 6.7/ 10 CondoGenius 4/5, 5/5, 4/5, 4/5, 4/5, 4/5, 4/5 · 1 review · condogenius.io Combined from 7 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.7. |
The largest published resident-rating base is a one-review tie; using Strata.ca's 5/5 anchor and the required under-10-review constraint gives 7.5 rather than the unconstrained 10. The available commentary is positive overall but too sparse and non-recurring to justify an additional adjustment; the 4.0/5 building-upkeep aspect supports a lower 7.0 structure sub-score. | |||
The only direct physical-condition criticism located was the CondoGenius resident comment, “Finshing touches still to be applied,” alongside its published 4.0/5 Building Upkeep sub-score. A separate building-focused article reports four modern high-speed elevators and says Artworks experiences “virtually no wait times,” describing the elevator flow as “constant and smooth”; this is current descriptive reporting rather than a resident-rating aggregate. | Resident feedback is strongly positive but very thin: a Strata.ca homeowner wrote, “Love living here, quality craftsmanship by Daniels, great amenities, friendly staff and perfect location.” Another resident review describes it as a “Good project” and lists clean amenities, good transit access and a good gym, while the only stated drawback was that finishing touches remained. | ||
| Daniels FirstHome Pickering TownsPickering96 units | 7.5/ 10 | —/ 10 | 7.5/ 10 |
99homes.ca publishes the only building-specific aggregate found: 5.00/5 from one vote. Because the review base is below ten, the result is kept within one point of the 6.5 fallback level rather than using the raw 10/10 conversion; no recurring complaint or praise theme was established from individual reviews. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | Published building material describes a family-oriented community with a kids' play area, visitor parking and garden plots. A current resale listing calls the community “well-maintained” and highlights its playground, greenhouse and community garden plots, but these are marketing/listing statements rather than independently verified resident reviews. | ||
| Daniels Keelesdale — Phase 2Toronto | 7.2/ 10 | —/ 10 | 7.2/ 10 |
The building-specific place listing supplies the only located aggregate rating: 4.1/5 from 25 reviews, which converts to 7.3 under the requested curve. The review text contains both repeated praise for staff and maintenance and older complaints about management, alarms and construction conditions; those themes produce only a small net downward adjustment. Structural design information was published, but no building-specific structural review rating was located, so structure remains null. | |||
The City of Toronto reports that Phase 2 achieved Toronto Green Standard Tier 2 and includes ERVs, low-flow plumbing, a high-performance envelope and energy savings of 14–20%; these are published design and performance claims, not resident review scores. A resident review nevertheless reported no shower access for a month and later “yellow water,” while also describing the site as a construction zone; this is limited, partly historical evidence rather than proof of a current building-wide defect. | The strongest current resident feedback is positive: one resident said staff were “really friendly,” and another said maintenance was handled “fast, professional, and stress-free.” Older and less favourable feedback reported “no property manager available on time,” early construction noise and frequent alarms, so the current position is positive overall but not uniform; the negative evidence is concentrated in 2022–2024 rather than the newest 2025 reviews. | ||
| Boulevard at The ThornhillThornhill, Vaughan255 units | 7.0/ 10 | —/ 10 | 6.2/ 10 VeryApt 7/10, 8/10, 6/10, 6/10, 8/10 · 1 review · veryapt.com Combined from 5 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.2. |
VeryApt is the only located resident-review platform with a numeric building rating: 7.0/10 from one renter review, which sets the anchor but is below the 10-review threshold. The 7.0 score is retained within one point of the prescribed 6.5 small-sample baseline; no recurring themes were documented and no structure score is supported. | |||
no notes returned no links returned | The only resident review record gives the building an overall 7.0/10 and describes it as a “Brand new apartment.” Its operational category scores were uneven: amenities and social were 8/10, while management and value were 6/10; no recurring resident complaint is documented. | ||
| Artsy Boutique CondominiumsToronto | 6.2/ 10 | 5.9/ 10 CondoGenius 3/5 · 1 review · condogenius.io CondoGenius publishes 3/5 from 1 review. Adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall, and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint (more strongly the fewer the reviews), that gives 5.9. | 6.3/ 10 CondoGenius 4/5, 3/5, 4/5, 4/5, 4/5, 2/5 · 1 review · condogenius.io Combined from 6 published figures on 1 platform, weighted by review count, adjusted for where resident ratings usually fall and weighted toward the 6.5 midpoint where reviews are few: 6.3. |
Google Reviews/Maps supplied the largest published review base found, but only five reviews, so its 3.8/5 anchor converts to 6.4 and remains subject to the under-10-review caution. The score is held slightly lower by the one serious reported security failure and associated package/front-desk problems; the structure and living figures remain provisional because the available evidence is sparse and the main detailed complaint dates to 2023. | |||
CondoGenius published a 3.0/5 building-upkeep sub-score for the building. The written review did not report a structural, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, leak or waterproofing failure; the main reported problem was security and front-desk coverage rather than physical systems. | The distinct resident review called the nearby community centre “great” and the area “very convenient,” while CondoGenius published 4.0/5 for variety of amenities, noise and convenience. The same review warned that “security here is not great,” citing no West Tower guard after 4 p.m., an empty front desk, unattended packages and difficulty obtaining visitor parking passes. | ||
| UnitiBrampton302 units | 3.9/ 10 | 4.0/ 10 | 3.1/ 10 |
The building-level Google aggregate of 3/5 from 28 reviews sets the anchor at 4/10 under the specified conversion curve. The written feedback adds recurring moderate concerns about management, security and parking, plus one serious heating/air-conditioning failure report, while the limited positive comments do not form a recurring praise theme. Evidence is current enough to include reviews dated June–December 2025, but no independent evidence here confirms whether those reported problems were resolved by October 12, 2026. | Not found in sources: Limited security coverage | ||
One resident reported that winter heating failure left the unit at 14 degrees for days and that a later air-conditioning outage raised temperatures to 28–31 degrees, with no clear management communication. Another review mentioned “fire alarm issues,” but the available material does not establish the extent or current status of those issues. | Daily-life feedback is mixed but mostly adverse: residents report “very bad management,” absent reception/security coverage, and maintenance taking several days to resolve. The strongest positive wording was that the building is “nice and well-maintained” and that the “front desk team as well as the superintendent is very helpful,” although those comments were paired with security, smoking, parking or fire-alarm concerns. |
