Theatre District Residence

Condo — exempt from RentSafeTO inspections & signs
No City rating
This building has no RentSafeTO score — and never will under current rules.

The City's evaluation program covers purpose-built rental buildings only. Condos are exempt, so no inspection score and no colour-coded sign exist for this address. Resident reviews are the only record. Why condos have no signs →

Our read — from public records & cited coverage
  • Plaza's two-tower Entertainment District complex (registered 2024), sharing its block with a 350-room hotel; often confused with Central Condos next door at 38 Widmer (a Concord build) - they are different buildings by different developers
  • 2024 lease-up growing pains were documented (non-working amenities and trash chute at occupancy, long elevator waits during move-ins); no leak, soundproofing, or party complaints located since
  • Location is the consideration: a nightclub operates ~40m away on Peter St and the 2-3am club pocket surrounds the block; first occupied after November 2018, so the rent-increase guideline does not apply
