Pros & Cons

Verve Pros and Cons

From the building facts on this page. We don't publish owner reviews; ask us what recent buyers and the condo documents say.

Pros

  • About 510 m from City Hall CTrain station, roughly a 6-minute walk.
  • East Village has a Walk Score of 79, so daily errands can be done on foot.
  • Newer building (completed 2018), so major components are still early in their life.
  • Reported features include penthouses and street-level live/work units, two rooftop terraces: one on the sixth-floor podium and one on the roof, fitness studio, hot tub and a party room with kitchen.

Cons & what to check

  • Newer buildings have a shorter track record of fees and reserve fund planning to judge.
  • A 2018–19 building: check the reserve fund is building as recommended now that the developer's first-year budget is behind it.
