About Waterclub

Waterclub holds Waterclub I at 8 York Street, Waterclub II at 208 Queens Quay West and a west tower at 218 Queens Quay West. Archiseek lists 1,081 residential units over 37 floors in two towers and 27 floors in the third, while individual listings give 431 suites for Waterclub I and 459 for Waterclub II.

The Google listing says the complex is a private residential community of three separate towers where short-term rentals are prohibited, which contrasts with neighbouring ICE Condos.

Reviews mention the view of the lake (6 mentions plus 2 for views of the lake), the concierge (8), the location (4) and fire alarms and winter issues (2 each).

Unit counts are 1,081 (Archiseek, whole complex), 431 (Waterclub I) and 459 (Waterclub II) on listings. The build year is 2004 on condos.ca and 2005 in Archiseek's title. Waterclub is in the Harbourfront, not Etobicoke; Ocean Club in Mimico is a different complex.

Waterclub reviews: the Google rating

Google reviews are the largest public sample of resident opinion for most condo buildings. The breakdown matters more than the average: a building with as many one-star as five-star reviews is a very different place from one with a steady spread of fours.

Who Waterclub suits, and who should look elsewhere

A good fit for

Owners and long-term renters who want a Harbourfront address and lake views in a building that prohibits short-term rentals.

Look elsewhere if you are

Anyone who wants to run a short-term rental, or who prefers a newer building than one from the mid-2000s.

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.
