Firehouse is decent, but not worth the premium. Belly Busters is still my favourite sub in Toronto.

Firehouse is also a classic "chain" and is far from a unique offering.
 
I’m looking to rent an apartment at 18 Maitland and have 2 questions:

1. Has the issue with alarms going off frequently at night been resolved?
2. Is the gym and other amenities currently in use?

Is there anything else I should be aware of?

Thank you!

1. I been living this building for almosf 3 year. First one year was bad but last one year, i haven't really had issue with fire alarms. But yes few times someone triggered alarm at night but nothing excessive.
2. Gym, party room, BBQ are now accessible. Swimming pool not yet.

Personal opinion on this building
pros. location is great. I have unobstructed view. Layout is decent. No wasted space on my unit. Plenty of free visitor parking.

Cons.not so fan of manangement. Staffs are rude. Swimming pool still under construction.
 
Still under construction? That's bonkers. Have you received any official notice(s) from Lanterra? If they've closed the building and turned everything over to the condo corp, unfortunately there's not really any mechanism to get them to complete this scope.
 
Apologies for reviving this thread for no reason, but I am a former long-time resident of Toronto who just came back from a trip to the city, and I was thoroughly surprised when I walked by Yonge and Maitland and saw how this building turned out during my most recent visit. As a former resident of Church and Wellesley I was skeptical of how yet another sanitized condo would interact with the unique fabric of Yonge Street and the fun, grimy seediness of this stretch in previous years. However, colour me shocked when I counted eight (!) businesses on the ground floor of this building as of a couple weeks ago! They will never replace Kleen Air Shoes where I got my first pair of drag queen knee-high boots, but I was so happy to see that we didn't end up with a Scotiabank and a Rexall and there was actually *some* effort put into ensuring a degree of (as close as you can nowadays get to) micro-retail on this stretch of Yonge Street. Good for them!
