Thanks Matrix!

Anyone knows the noise levels between condo units with drywall partitions? I mean can you hear people on the other side watch TV, cook, or even argue? Reason I asked is, from Matrix' photo, Cityplace is using drywall partitions:

^ Good observation. I've always either lived in a detached home or apartment buildings built in the 70's and 80's when they were built like bunkers. I can have music blasting in my apartment at 3am and nobody will complain. I can also hear nothing from my neighbours apartment, but when I take out the trash, I pass by their door and hear their blaring music.

It's something I'm going to have to keep in mind since I'm actively looking to buy a condo or loft now and would hate to be worried about my neighbours hearing my music, TV habits, conversation and yes... sex (my gf is loud, what can I say?).

Just look for bldgs that use concrete in-between the units. I live in one, and my neighbours and myself live in peace and harmony.
 
All the other cityplace buildings have concrete separating suites... I don't see why this one would be any different.

Mr. Kaplan is mostly correct although he could've mentioned HOW exactly we could go about looking up concrete partitioning for condos

I live at Cityplace. Drywalls do divide many suites, but this is common in many downtown condos. I've found the sound insulation quite good and despite my criticism of the construction quality, I like how the architects laid out suites and floorplans against similar rooms.

For example, bedrooms are up against another suite's bedrooms, and not against a living room where a TV might be placed, thereby adding unwanted noise. I don't hear my neighbours snoring, singing in the shower, or making babies.

Before making the post earlier, I checked the floor plan at cityplace.ca website and counted the number of windows from the corner (i.e. 10), That wall seems to divide unit 5 from unit 3.

Unfortunately for unit 5, bedroom #2 is right beside unit 3's living room. I hope cityplace add more soundproofing in those drywalls.

I noticed on the website for Parade that the floorplans go from 1-31 for the tower, then 37+ for grand parade. Where did 32-36 go?:)
