About Dundas Square Gardens

The development replaced the Hilton Garden Inn at the northeast corner of Dundas and Jarvis. Its tower rises 50 storeys and is joined to a lower volume by a podium with ground-floor retail, and residents began taking occupancy in the first half of 2020 according to the building's Google description.

The ratings split sharply. Of 122 Google reviews, 70 are one star and 33 are five stars. Security (22 mentions) and elevators (21) are the dominant themes, followed by HVAC problems (9) and the gym and pool, which are mentioned both positively and negatively.

Condo-review aggregator buildingcheck.ca summarises the same picture, citing elevator outages, heat and hot-water failures and security problems, and a Strata.ca reviewer calls it a modern building with a great location but occasional HVAC and utility issues.

Units are 1,012 in the building's Google description and 968 on a listing site. Storeys are 50 (UrbanToronto, Google); an earlier 2014 plan described 47 and 17 storeys. The developer is Gupta Group and Easton's Group per UrbanToronto and Precondo, not Tridel.

Who Dundas Square Gardens suits, and who should look elsewhere

A good fit for

Renters and buyers who want a central, amenity-rich tower near campus and transit and who accept a building with a mixed track record.

Look elsewhere if you are

Anyone for whom reliable elevators, building security or consistent heating and cooling are non-negotiable, or who dislikes the Dundas and Jarvis street environment.

Before you buy in any condo, ask for the status certificate and read the reserve fund study; it shows the corporation’s finances, special assessments and upcoming repairs. Use the condo fee calculator to check monthly costs and the land transfer tax calculator for closing.
