The WORST Condo Building In Surrey BC
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 бер 2022
- The Infinity Tower, started in 2005 and finished by Concord Pacific in 2007 is a towering 36 storey building in the heart of Surrey’s City Center that for years was what I would consider the WORST condo building in all of Surrey…until now.
In this video, Surrey Real Estate specialist Steve Karrasch of Macdonald Realty discusses why his opinion of the Infinity Tower in Surrey has changed to become one of his favourite buildings for potential investors or first time buyers looking to get into a condo in Surrey.

Great content as always! My first property that I ever purchased was park place 2 back in 2014 and just sold it after living 5 years there and renting out for 2 years. I absolutely agree that the area has really turned around even compared to 2014. It's not just new buildings. The people living there has changed so much too! Busy young professionals, university students ect. I wouldn't have sold it if I did not urgently needed the money as I can see there will be more development in the area!
Oh wow!
Thanks for all the information. Again , appreciate it.
My pleasure!
Thanks Steve! I've noticed quite a few units come up for sale there recently and as a mortgage broker, it was an easy building to get financing for. Glad they've revamped the area. Keep the informative videos coming bud!
Thank you!
Thank you for making this video.
Thank you for watching this video.
Love that wooded area called Holland Park. I go there weekly for a walk and there is always police or bylaw officers monitoring the area to keep it family friendly.
It's a nice park!
Nice video!
What's your idea on prime tower?
How would you rate the towers in Surrey? A quick rundown?
Thanks!
They each need to be looked at individually, hopefully your agent can help you identify the best ones for your needs.
One thing to take care of that this building gets so hot during summers that people have to leave and book hotels. Buy here only if you can handle the heat. Apart from that the parking of the actual building is crappy. Apart from that sometimes you have to wait 10mins for elevator to show up. Apart from that great place to live
Yes, those things can be said for many of the high rises in the area. Personally I prefer low rise construction.
This building has definitely improved a lot in past few years. Concierge and strata members are really good and take good care of building. But a few things to consider are high strata fee of around $0.60 per sf (add to that a special levy which comes every few years). The insurance deductibles are extremely high at $250,000, which is 10 times more than normal. Most insurance companies don't even sell this high deductible product. The earthquake deductible is also on the higher end at 20% which doubles the total insurance cost.
Any Westbank or Onni development needs to be looked at carefully..
Every building needs to be looked at individually. I’ve seen new builders do great projects and good builders make terrible ones.
I live in park place. The walls are paper thin, the elevators are painfully slow and crowded at all hours of the day. But other than that, it’s not a bad place with great views and amenities nearby
High rise elevators are often an issue. Thanks for sharing!
Infinity tower is the worst? I thought the prize went to the Ultra? Ultra has structural issues, not built up to standards for potential seismic disasters.
Did you watch the video or just comment on the title?
@@SteveKarrasch Just comment on the title.
@@jupitereye4322 Thanks for watching… the thumbnail! 🤣
It's sad to see what happened to gateway... and whalley. I remember the whalley baseball park hayday when it was nothing but working class families and kids.
It was always the tougher part of town.
I just bought 1 condo around is it good ?
Bear creek park always will be my favorite Surrey park. The gardens are special.
Haven't been there in years!
how about One Central condo...is it bad too? I see some bad review in Google like bad heating, lazy concierge, noisy, etc.
I have heard about the heating issue.
I lived on the mainland for a while and I think I went to surrey a few times was ok didn't feel unsafe an most people were friendly and seemed to just leave me alone was ok ...❤❤❤❤❤❤
Have you or anyone heard any recent some bad reviews for Evolve condo?
I was going to look at a rental at the Infinity Tower
Look I really really need to find a building that has a high walkscore , nearby schools/shopping
Prefer indoor pool
Family friendly
I’d prefer ground level LOL
Ground floor in Whalley?
How about George Town one in Whalley going to complete in this summer ?
You don't like it?
No
i mean i like it but not complete yet do not know, just getting information
@@janischan3678 you never really know until it’s complete.
I wish they would make the new condos like the infinity tower I believe after seeing multiple buildings they have the best floor plan and space they don’t make it like that building anymore it’s prob the best building that allows rentals as well
Agreed, most new layouts are junk.
good reminder
I appreciate your approach of considering the current relevant information in order to base (and change) your opinions off of rather than holding on to an opinion that is outdated.
But what we all really want to see is a review on the infamous Suncreek Estates 😂
Every internet lead ever: “Hey I saw this affordable 3 bed townhouse on mls, can we see it this weekend? I think it’s called Suncreek”
😂😂😂😂 building was terrible until I got a listing in the building to sell.

I understand the point of this video is about rentals, proximity to skytrain and crime. But when you say "worst building" I want to mention shocking feature that should have the architect as well as Surrey's building inspectors questioned. Sorry I don't remember the name but it's one of the series of skyscrapers across from the King George Skytrain station. The bedroom windows extends all the way down to the floor and are awning windows!!! We visited a couple there with our 10-month old who was tiny enough to fall through the opening! Not just the safety of infants is an issue, but if you so much as accidentally drop a quarter or a hairbrush or anything else on the floor and it goes out the window and falls 30 floors, it can seriously injure someone on the ground.
Many high rises have windows like that. I wonder why?
What about the ultra tower?
At least let the video premier first. 🤣
I was wondering the same thing
As long as there's no earthquakes Ultra is fine 😂
What is the rental ratio of Infinity Tower? The Strata in my previous condo in Coquitlam lowered it from 62% to under 30% within six years and that helped reduce crime.
My broker also mentioned drug dealers living in certain condos near Coquitlam Center. I bought a unit nearby where a lot of police officers bought as primary residence.
Lastly, is there a rule how far your building should be from Skytrain Station to limit chance of petty theft. I heard it was at least three blocks away from a station in Vancouver
I did a video on Values and the train!
@@SteveKarrasch cud u pls share the link ?
This is top tier click bait.
Thanks!
Isn't it the opposite advice to the one you gave in the video "worst place to invest in Surrey". You are eventually recommending it.
The point of the video is that with new information I have changed my opinion. And I also put out a video months back about City Centre now being a better spot to invest. ua-cam.com/video/I62gS4Q_T9s/v-deo.html
Can the fate of a condo be changed?
Sure.
I have a Pit Bull
Great content but your titles are often super click bait.
Thank you. I am in the business of getting peoples attention.
Organized crime is all over the place on the island too it's garbage....
Click bait 👎🏼.
I am living in the area for 13 years. Watched the area transformed. You haven’t been there for 4 years. You asked us to watch till the end.
I thought you wanted to tell us something bad that I didn’t know…
It turned out all praises & recommendations. I’ve already known that!! Which shows how old dated info you are. Because I always wanted to live in that building, especially park place, but it was too late, I had purchased something else.
I don’t believe you are the real hello kitty.
