Condo Corporation
Carnaby Condos is governed by a registered Ontario condo corporation under the Condominium Act, 1998. Unit owners are members of the condo corporation and pay monthly maintenance fees to cover building insurance, common area maintenance, reserve fund contributions, and shared utilities.
Current maintenance fees run approximately $0.61/sqft/month. For a typical 600 sqft one-bedroom unit, this represents approximately $366/month. Buyers should always request a current status certificate to verify maintenance fee amounts, reserve fund balance, any pending special assessments, and any existing by-laws that restrict use (rental restrictions, pet policies, smoking policies).
The condo corporation at Carnaby Condos is responsible for building HVAC, elevator maintenance, roof, windows, common corridors, and parking structure. Individual unit owners are responsible for their own interior finishes, appliances, and in-suite plumbing and electrical. For major building decisions, owners attend the Annual General Meeting (AGM) to vote on budgets, board elections, and special resolutions.

Pro Tips
- 1. As one of the newest buildings in Liberty Village, Carnaby's reserve fund is in its early accumulation phase — lower short-term special assessment risk.
- 2. The outdoor terrace garden is a genuine differentiator; request an amenity floor or garden-adjacent unit for the most benefit.
- 3. Co-working space in Carnaby is newer and better equipped than those in older buildings — worth factoring in if you work from home.
- 4. Brock Ave is marginally quieter than the King/Dufferin intersection itself; north-facing units on Brock have good noise profiles for the area.
