Darlington Arms Condominiums Building Information
Building summary
Ours is a poured-in-place concrete building reinforced with rebar steel, and has no post-tensioned (PT) cable reinforcement. It was built in 1970 as a rental building, and then was extensively renovated and converted to condominium ownership in 1998. We have 40 suites, comprised of 22 one-bedroom suites, 14 two-bedroom suites, and four larger two-level two-bedroom suites. Two of those larger suites have rooftop decks.
There is an unheated parkade with 24 titled-property parking stalls, which were each bought by their respective suite owners. The balance of 16 suites each has an assigned surface-parking stall above the parkade. There are 22 titled storage lockers in two basement areas. Their respective suite owners also paid the developer for these. The Condo Board has since built nine common-property storage lockers, and these have been leased for 99 years each to nine suite owners, with one-time lease revenue put into our reserve fund. Owners of titled indoor parking and titled lockers pay condo fees on those spaces, and titled parking stalls also pay property tax annually. A statement detailing all leased common property is appended to this booklet.
The condo-converting developer promoted our building under the name Hardwood Place, focusing on the parquet hardwood tiles that he laid as a highlight for all of the suites. New owners at the founding general meeting in September of 1998 voted to revert to the building’s original name, Darlington Arms, which has a connection to Darlington, England. Yes, several pubs in that city carry the same name.
