225 Carlton

Nice building, some great staff. It has had its issues and they do try to fix them. But, if you live on the side facing the square, the office lights make your apartment feel like daytime at night. They should’ve installed black-out curtains instead of see through blinds. You’re also going to hear construction from the new True North building going up from 5AM to 10PM (PCL construction knows they’re breaking city bylaws, they just don’t care).

If you have any trouble sleeping through light and noise, or get distracted when working from home, this is not the place for you. I have sound cancelling headphones and they don’t block out the noise. I’ve also tried silicone ear plugs, they don’t work. My husband really likes this place because he sleeps through anything and doesn’t work from home. It definitely has perks (like hargrave st market and being able to walk to jets games inside), I just can’t enjoy them because I’m exhausted.

Moved here in Aug 2019 and so glad I did! With all amenities within walking distance and access through the skywalks in the winter, living here has created an ideal place for me to enjoy all that downtown has to offer.

All the staff at 225 are beyond helpful and it's nice to know that when issues arise, their number 1 priority are their residents.

225 is a great place to live downtown. It has great amenities (gym, rooftop common space, delivery lockers) and is closed to fantastic downtown attractions. As Winnipeg opens up more events are being held in the building, such as Jets watch party, affording a community atmosphere in the building.

I have been living at 225 Carlton since March 2020. I picked this place because it is so close to my work and I didn't have to deal with commuting. The best place about 225 is the people who work at 225 Carlton. Lena and Leesa from the leasing office are very personable and friendly. The concierge Andrew and Wajiha are very professional, easy to communicate with and are very helpful. Also the service people are amazing, friendly and professional, Sam, Ed and Mark are great.

I do like the location, not because its so close to work but its close to the Canada Life Centre, and various restaurants in the area. I get my groceries and items delivered to me downtown and I don't own a vehicle. There is a convenient locker to store our deliveries on the main floor.

Even though in the past year there has been disruptions to the tenants such as flooding, heating/ventilation problems, noises from constructions, Leasing Management have gone out of their way to help the tenants. However, the noise level from each suites leaks over to other suites and the noise level has to be kept to a minimum.

Some of the security personnel on site are friendly and keep the area safe for the tenants. I would like to see more events (There are some events now) and would like to see a tenant committee with a representative from the leasing office to organize tenant events. However, I have enjoyed living in 225 Carlton and I will continue to stay here. The building is pet friendly for people who loves pets.

This is a great building, prime location, excellent Gym and the staff are especially helpful and welcoming. Highly recommended.
