Emerald Park

I just moved out from here with my girlfriend and lived here for a year. Pros are: nice area, great amenities (small pool, gym, rental units, underground access to the 1 subway line, modern units & look of the building), a stone's throw away from the 401, security is great in my opinion, elevators were OK despite some reviews I've seen here- I never had problems with elevators here compared to serious outages that I've experienced in the past renting elsewhere. HOWEVER, CONS: There is a serious issue with the fire alarm system in this building. Sometime in December of 2017 I was driving back from Montreal late at night, my girlfriend and I were up for hours on a weeknight because the fire alarm wouldn't stop until 6am. The fire department had to come back several times that night and couldn't fix the issue. They had to call the installing contractor to come in at 6am. Pretty sure no one in the building slept that night. The property management company sent out an email the next day apologizing but that was it. This wasn't an isolated incident as the fire alarm would go off at least twice a week the whole year we were living there due to kids playing or people smoking in units or issues with the system, whatever. Another big con: Some of the staff is quite rude & very unhelpful I agree. Specifically the cleaning staff, there was one guy with braces that was just brutal. It was about 50/50. The lady working day shift that became new manager in 2018 was always helpful though as well as the previous manager. Last con: The way they organize the packages that arrive is ridiculous. It would take sometimes ten minutes or more for them to find a package that was delivered or they would just tell you they didn't have it. I would have to re-order items sometimes claiming them as lost in the mail. Very frustrating.

Very careful. All units 9 Bogert floors 25 to 42, structures and instruments were damaged of April 2021 flooding... Always trouble

I lived in this building for one year and a half. Nice facilities as the gym and the pool. Direct access to subway. These are the only good things about this building. Management is the worst possible, including the concierges that are rude and not well prepared, with the exception of the superintendent that seems to carry all the load. Management office is useless and barely knows what's going on in the building. No visitor parking. Lot of empty units and people moving in and out all the time. OMG and don't get me started on the fire alarm. It sounds almost every day. One night it sounded three times. This is probably one of the reasons why the maintenance fees are so high (have to pay the fire department for every false alarm). Lots of teenagers living the building, very noisy.

This amazing green codon is right next to the codon I live at. It has the shape of the bamboo shoot which is very different from most of the codons here in Toronto. I never lived there before so I can't common on that, but I love unique design of this building. Recently there have been a lot of retails store opened underneath this building which is quite interesting, need to check them out sometimes

I used to live here about a year. Nice building with great amenities. My suite was facing south directly facing CN tower and it was such a great view. Although it is close to HWY 401 and Yonge Street, it wasn't that bad. Pretty quite area. Nice concierge as I was always love to have conversation with them with cup of coffee from Tim next door. it was great memories

Building security is rude and completely useless. Does not give a welcoming feeling. Sold my condo here due to this.

I have been living in the building 9 Bogert for 6 months until today. Hope my review can contribute. 5 Stars for the location and all the convenience it brings. TTC, Tim horton, grocery, restaurants, massage, everything you need daily is in the building. You can live without a winter jacket. It's amazing in the Canada winter. However, the biggest Con!!! is the management company. The cleaning job is not done properly. Some of the concierge staff is rude and not helpful at all, even to the owners! Can you imagine that? As I know the owners are paying high maintenance fee every month, but the management company is doing a very basic job. Not sure why the building is still hiring this management company after all these things happen! The Board should do something!!! I am pretty sure there are many good management companies out there willing to expand their business. Why stick with this one?!

5 Stars for the great location: Food Basic and LCBO inside the building; direct access to TTC. -4 stars for building quality. A flooding happened in 2021 affecting 300 units in 9 Bogert and another leaking today (Jan 15, 2022) affecting many units in 5th-14th floors in 11 Bogert. For a 7 year old building that has issues with both towers, this is definitely a sign of low quality. Accessibility is also an issue: there’s no auto door in residential parking to enter the building. Regarding the fire alarm issues others mentioned, I think it’s because some random people smoking in P1 and P2 which are commercial parking but it still trigger the fire alarm for residential.
