OK, these are not my words, but certainly a strong feeling from one resident of 1150 E 29  in North Vancouver.

A user has given us an interesting perspective in Concord Pacific’s Spectrum Towers in Vancouver, and it is not a pretty site.  Garbage, the finishings are incredibly cheap, including undersize fridges……. Check out the full review here.

Wow, we here in British Columbia thought we had seen it all with leaky condos, this video of the window problems with a Florida Condo will sure open your eyes. Can’t believe what goes on out there. check it out here
