Key takeaways

  • Reserve fund per unit sits 14.9% above the cohort median ($4,514 vs $3,927) — a financial strength.
  • The corporation is funding 90% of its own reserve study's recommended contribution — slightly under its own plan, in line with the cohort median.
  • Units leased (73%) is well above the cohort median (60%) and scores lowest of all 14 factors — a governance/composition watch item.
  • An active legal proceeding is on file ($548K disclosed amount), flagged for review — the amount is not an estimate of expected liability.
  • Insured replacement value per unit sits 11% below the cohort median, a possible under-insurance signal worth confirming.
  • No special assessment is on file — only 1 of 78 eligible peers carry one, so this building is in the healthy majority.

What is driving this building's score?

The strongest and weakest factor results for this specific building, in analyst-summary form.

Strengths

Special assessment
Clean · score 100 · cohort: 1/78 peers have SA · med. $120K
Observed in cohort: 1 of 78 eligible peer buildings have a special assessment (1.3% observed prevalence — descriptive, not a probability for this building). Median detected assessment among flagged peers: $120,000 (regex-parsed from one amount on file, unverified).
Short-term rental risk
Not permitted · score 100 · cohort:
Transience risk restricted by bylaw.
Common expense burden / unit
$544/mo (+7% vs med.) · score 93 · cohort: $510/mo
Fees above cohort median while reserves run under the building's own plan. Fee level alone is not graded — quadrant with reserve funding decides.

See the building in context.

Condex does not evaluate a building in isolation. It compares it against relevant condominium peers.

Peers are ranked within the cohort by similarity (unit count and age, with penalties for form/geography differences) for display order only — every building in the scoring cohort is an equal member of the comparison; similarity does not weight the score itself. Peers are matched within ±24 months of this snapshot.

Reserve fund per unit
$4,514 per unit
Above peer median

+14.9% vs the cohort median. Scored on the distance from the median (anchor curve), not on rank among peers. Higher is favourable.

Annual contribution per unit

Reserve funding and financial position.

Absolute reserve position and funding relative to the corporation's own plan are two different questions — a building can be well funded in absolute terms while still contributing below what its own reserve study recommends, or vice versa.

Funding vs own planSlightly under plan
90% of the recommended contribution (audited financials)

Contributing 90% of the amount its own reserve study recommends. Cohort median: 90% of plan — a difference of 0 percentage points. Secondary context: 41 of 52 eligible peers are under plan (79%). This is an absolute factor — interpreted against the building's own study, not its cohort.

Available data: 52 of 80 cohort buildings
Reserve-driven fee pressureLow pressure
3.01% of current common-expense assessments

The scheduled reserve-fund contribution step adds approximately 3.0% of current common-expense assessments next year. Measures fee pressure from scheduled reserve-fund increases only — not a forecast of the corporation's total maintenance-fee increase.

Future funding increasesOn file
2.0% median planned annual increase in reserve contributions

Planned annual increases to reserve-fund contributions in the current reserve funding plan — not projected maintenance-fee increases. Limited basis: NOFF schedule and budget only, per-year fee levels are not on file.

Operating costs.

Per-unit operating expense and monthly fees, each shown against the cohort's peer range and median.

Monthly fees per unit
$574 per unit monthly
Review required

Fees above cohort median while reserves run under the building's own plan. Fee level alone is not graded — quadrant with reserve funding decides.

Operating expense per unit
$5,690 per unit annually
Above peer median

+12.7% vs the cohort median. Scored on % above the median (anchor curve); at or below median scores 100 — low opex is never a bonus.

Insurance and deductible exposure.

General deductible within standard band · Replacement cost on file

Insured replacement value / unit
$314,169 replacement cost per unit
Below cohort median

Insured value per unit sits 11% below the cohort median — a possible under-insurance signal, scored on a materially stricter downside curve. No combined insurance grade exists; components are shown side by side.

Available data: 74 of 80 cohort buildings
General property deductible
$25,000
Standard · At cohort median

Lower deductible is safer; the absolute band and same-category median are primary — rank is secondary.

Available data: 74 of 80 cohort buildings

Categories are never compared against each other; a lower safe deductible never reads worse for percentile-tie reasons. Insurance detail is context only and is not scored into the Index score.

Structural and shared-facility exposure.

Structural exposure reflects age (0–10 years) and vertical complexity (21 storeys) — inherent characteristics, not how well they're managed. Height/storey data is treated as absolute when a cohort comparison isn't available, rather than inferred.

Structural exposureModerate inherent exposure
88.0 structural exposure score

Reflects inherent exposure associated with building age and vertical complexity (10 years old, 21 storeys). Financial and operational factors separately measure how well that exposure is being managed.

Shared facilities exposureMinor shared exposure — ancillary items
1 shared-facility agreement on file

Shared facilities can provide efficiencies, but material shared obligations introduce dependency on joint governance, spending decisions and shared infrastructure. Cohort context: 38 of 60 assessable peers carry material shared obligations (operating or critical) — descriptive only.

Data quality and verification.

Where a factor's data is unavailable for a given building, that factor's weight is renormalized across the remaining available factors rather than scored as zero, so the total always sums to 100% of available weight.
