Who TELUS Garden suits, and who should look elsewhere
A good fit for
People who want the most central address possible: SkyTrain, groceries, Robson Street shopping and the arenas all within a few blocks, in a building with a pool and air conditioning.
Look elsewhere if you are
You want a quiet, low-turnover building. Reddit threads describe problems in the building's early years, so ask for strata minutes and check how leak and heating issues were resolved.
Before you buy in any strata building, ask for the Form B information certificate, two years of strata council minutes and the depreciation report; together they show the strata’s finances, special levies and upcoming repairs. Use the condo fee calculator to check monthly costs and the property transfer tax calculator for closing.
