The Brixton

Honest feedback after one year of living. living experience is not the greatest. the good stuff. If you don’t know Kevin you’re missing out he is the absolute best probably oracle of the brixton, Claudio is the second go to person and helped me with all my inquiries. Amenities are good except for overpromised finite pool. Now the bad stuff sharp 7am construction work will wake you up. It is horrifying for my new born baby to wake up to such loud noises. The lobby stinks bad in the afternoon walking through makes me nauseous. theres no access to the floor from stairs if one elevator doesn’t work you have to wait 10mins for the other just to get to your floor instead of taking stairs.

Edited in May 18th, 2023: the Brixton transitioned to A/C before the date that local regulation requires. Adjusting from 1 to 3 starts for the lack of clarity but being appreciative of the improvementInitial review:I am giving this condo one star. The building claims to be luxurious with state-of-the-art equipment, but the HVAC system is a nightmare. It's impossible to switch easily from heating to AC, despite their promises on the sales - leasing processIn a recent public email communication to the tenants, the administration stated that the heating and cooling systems cannot be run simultaneously. They asked us to understand that there will be an uncomfortable shoulder season in the Spring and Fall when cold and hot temperatures overlap.The administration also claimed to be monitoring long-term forecasts to confirm the best time for a switch-over, but they have not yet confirmed a specific date. This lack of clarity is frustrating. Transition should happen now, we may have some cold days in the next weeks but the hard winter is already gone

I've been living at The Brixton for more than a month now and I have to say it is absolutely the best place I've lived in so far!! Great location (every store you'd need is a few steps away) and probably the best (and quickest) management team aside, the buildings have a very unique/modern/classy vibe which I find very inspiring. Everybody here is so nice and friendly, it's almost incredible! My unit has an awesome skyline view, and really gives me the living-in-a-city feel I've always wanted!All thanks to Maria, my leasing consultant, who deserves a special shout-out. She is absolutely a marvel and one of the nicest and most effective people I've ever met! She went out of her way to understand and accommodate my needs as a renter and helped me find the perfect apartment!!All-in-all, I am extremely in love and awe with everything about The Brixton and I highly recommend it to anybody looking for a home! They have made my move to Canada an absolute delight!

The staff members are great.I would not recommend this building as the walls and doors are paper thin. You will hear every noise in the hallway/neighbouring units/balconies. There was also constant AC issues. Working from home in this building was very difficult.

When I first moved in here I loved it, the staff were great, everything was going smoothly, but that bubble was soon burst.There are tenants here that went two months without heating, the doors are locking us out of our units, the taps are falling off, the sinks are falling in because they were put in poorly, the construction is finally over, but they started wayyyy to early in the morning (breaking noise bylaws) and woke everyone up, the garage door keeps breaking, and overall the building is just built as cheaply as possible! Plus I lived here since before the amenities that I paid so much to have access to were finished and the PM had the audacity to try and raise my rent by $400-$500 and it took me weeks to actually get ahold of the PM and point all this out to her!Point is that the concierge and the other staff are fantastic and I love my neighbors, but managent is impossible to get ahold of and this place just isn’t worth it until they fix….. well everything.Edit: I’m using a pen name here because I genuinely believe that management would use this review against me or as leverage for somethingIn response to the Brixtons reply: I would, but Vanessa takes weeks to months to answer any emails if she even gets back to you at all

I moved in here right after it opened and the unit had a lot of issues, but having said that, the management, maintenance, and even company itself worked to make things right, getting the work done quickly and even providing a financial concession.Shoddy construction is just par the course for new buildings, unfortunately, but if you accept that reality, the folks running this place will provide a welcoming environment and the units and amenities themselves are large and relatively well priced, all things considered.

They claim that these are luxurious condos, but in reality they are unfinished condos in a literal construction site. We walk pass all these scaffolds whenever we go out, and the construction noise wakes us up every weekday morning at 7am. The community amenities they promise on their website (e.g., swimming pool, gym) are nowhere to be found. The elevators still do not work properly (e.g., we tried to go to the car park last Sunday afternoon and the elevators just don't go down). Our unit amenities, including the dishwasher and both bathrooms' fans, are also not working. We sent a maintenance request at least 4 weeks ago and they still haven't repaired anything. They claim to gift Netflix and Ritual coupons as move-in perks, but we have never received them. Just now when I was having a Zoom meeting, they did a fire alarm testing without giving any prior notice. This place is a disaster.

The building was built during Covid and has excelled through the crisis and built itself into a wonderful place to live . The staff are reasonably and helped me well and beyond their duties. This was my first apartment in my own name though I am Canadian. It’s hard for someone on disability with a service animal to find a home keeping one is a challenge also. This building and it’s staff have does everything and more to help me and I recommend this place to anyone looking for safety, compassionate service and luxury all things are found at THE BRIXTON.

I have lived here, going on two years now, and I am very pleased. Understandably with new construction there are occasional hiccups, but I have not been inconvenienced by any of them. What strikes me most is the friendliness of the staff. The head concierge, Kevin, is one of the nicest, most helpful people you could ever meet, and Paul is so warm and friendly whenever I pass by the reception desk. When I have had occasional problems with things like my thermostat, issues have been dealt with promptly and in a very friendly manner. Emma, in particular, goes out of her way to replace things or get them working again and does so with patience and good humor. Very happy with my decision to move here.
