We bought a Condo! I share some of the things I've learned that make a good building and condo unit, from the perspective of someone who works in Architecture, so that you can be a more informed buyer.

What do you look for when buying a condo or renting an apartment?

@MarcellaB3ll4 Месяц назад

SO true, when I was a project manager, I had to deal with a fancy building with an all glass curtain wall that had water coming in. The gaskets were specially designed protrusion so when they failed 10 years after construction there was no way to replace them... we just had to caulk them, which is no better than a bandaid, and they will keep doing that forever.

My goodness, this fellow really knows his stuff. I love that he's able to articulate architectural/mechanical concepts in a manner which is accessible to everyone. Interesting, informative and, yes, entertaining. Well done!

Great video. I am perfectly happy in my old (1975) single-story, flat-foam-roofed, small-windowed condo complex with zero amenities and nothing above me but circling buzzards and the blazing Arizona sun. No weight rooms to be vandalized. No pool to maintain. No gate for anyone to crash through. It's very interesting to see how different cities approach different issues, and possibly how codes change over time. I read somewhere that a bedroom can only be called a bedroom if there is a second means of egress (e.g., a window that is large enough and close enough to the floor to allow a quick escape). Without such windows, the room would be labelled as a den in listings. Not sure where that particular standard applied, though. Here's something prospective condo buyers might want to reconsider considering: buying in buildings with rooftop swimming pools.

The urban heat island effect caused by many glass buildings also a factor, the wind tunnels created at street level. The same problems exist in England too with developers favouring profit over quality. Living in a basement can be great but it has its own pros and cons. We have a lot i. common Anthony, great video. Toronto needs to do better with affordable housing too 👍🏼

@AnthonyGugliotta 2 года назад

Great points! Designs are getting better over time. ie) requirements for green roofs, or canopies to reduce wind. I Could make a whole video just on that! :)

@Broadwaybuff-pi1qg Год назад

Good video. Would be helpful if you could explain what those "some problems" you found were, to give people a more specific idea of what needed to be fixed.

@UragilWorld 2 года назад

I agree to your point about avoiding the building with all glass exteriors. but then, it is just so hard to find a condo in Toronto that doesn't have all glass exteriors other than really old condos.

@AnthonyGugliotta 2 года назад

Really old AND some of the newer condos coming to market that are built under the new building/energy code!

Bang on with regards to the floor to ceiling windows, they're just trouble😬

@siuming3310 2 года назад

Could you share the 3 buildings in your final list? :)

How big was the unit you ended up with? In square footage…..

Back-Up Generators should be mandatory for High-Rise Buildings... but include the Water Pump??? 10 days May 2022... no water, no power = Derecho. Otherwise the older Condos... dont have the Glass Balcony... see thru... it's a Concrete Bunker (if they even have a balcony). Newer are probably a lot more Energy Efficient = Insulated. Having indoor pool is great... but brand New pool still breaks down time after time after time... it's hi-larious or just sad. Curiously even new appliances can have a high failure rate... it's just bananas. Anyhow Zero Disclosure offered about BACK-UP generators, if you're an old timer living in a Condo.
