8 Mercer St · Toronto
The Mercer
Condo — exempt from RentSafeTO inspections & signs
- Graywood build (2015) in the King/John entertainment core with a documented party-building reputation arc: harsh 2021-2023 Reddit accounts ('still party central'), a softening but split record by 2026 - one five-year resident calls it well-managed while others still cite noise
- Noise remains the theme: a 2024 resident reports hearing King St music on the 18th floor; the building's own strata.ca blurb notes 'thin walls... noise between units'; subleasing/short-term rentals are formally banned and enforced
- Practical notes from residents: water/heat/AC included in fees, generous guest parking, strong concierge - against periodic hot-water outages and gym-equipment maintenance complaints; the 84-storey Forma towers are under construction immediately north
- Pre-2018, so rent-controlled
