Thompson Residences

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
  • King West rental frequently asked about on Reddit; threads discuss nightlife noise on the King West strip and unit finishes (Freed Developments, 2010s)
  • A detailed 2021 resident review reports sound travelling through air ducts between units, hallway airflow carrying cooking and smoke smells, and a building fire alarm tied to the ground-floor restaurants; the same review praises cleaning and security staff and cheap building fibre internet
  • Multiple commenters describe it as suited to a nightlife-first crowd: 'if you are older and hate the party life, stay away'
