A STRONGER FUTURE FOR ICE
Our Message To Owners
Our Message To Owners Let’s make a positive impact and shape the future of our Ice Towers by creating a better and reformed team that understands the challenges of our buildings with utmost dedication and integrity.
With diverse knowledge and experience, we stand united in addressing the buildings’ operations with utmost priority to restore the reputation and value in our community. With your cooperation and support, we will make a strong and successful contribution towards a peaceful residential environment and a sustainable investment.
Well-Maintained Buildings
Well-Maintained Buildings Maintenance is about ensuring a clean lobby, tidy hallways, clean windows and parking garage, well-kept common areas and amenities. It’s also about the infrastructure (i.e. HVAC, Plumbing, Elevators, Garbage Chutes etc.) upkeep and upgrades.
We will look to reduce waste, review contracts carefully, and improve cost control wherever real savings can be found while delivering services (i.e. appropriate number of cleaners per building, concierge accessibility) that residents need on a daily basis.
At any time, essential services must not be compromised. A full-time management company and an experienced team of superintendents who understand the building are absolutely necessary for Ice to function properly.
Raise Rental Rates
Raise Rental Rates ICE units should be able to rent at market prices and bring owners comparable income, but building-related issues are holding them back. We will focus on the issues that hurt rentability, including reputation, showing inconvenience, and avoidable operational problems. The goal is to make ICE easier to rent and more competitive with nearby buildings.
Did you know that currently, it costs real estate agents $8 to obtain a key each time to show your unit to prospective renters? This discourages agents from bringing potential tenants & buyers to ICE. We will eliminate this fee.
Raise Property Value $/sqft
Raise Property Value $/sqft ICE should be worth more per square foot than it is today. Our location and profile are strong, but value also depends on reputation, management, and owner confidence. We will push for improvements that help close the gap with comparable downtown buildings over time. One of our main goals is for Ice units to align or exceed market prices.
A clear example is 300 Front (short-term rentals are also permitted at this building), where units are selling for close to $950 per square foot. At Ice, units are selling closer to $830 per square foot, with 500 sqft units in the low $400,000 range.
Transparent Finances
Transparent Finances In keeping with our commitment to accountability, we will provide owners with regular, detailed audited financial reporting, including budget performance, reserve fund contributions, and expenditures, ensuring full visibility into how the corporation’s finances are managed and to do so in a timely manner to enable AGMs.
Increase Security
Increase Security Security at Ice needs to be more proactive, not just reactive. No more overnight fire alarms, homeless intruders, and chaotic lobbies.
We believe we should focus on:
- stronger access control to reduce unauthorized entry
- increased security presence during high-traffic periods, especially in the 12–14 connecting lobby
- proactively monitor all fire alarms to prevent them from being triggered by intruders
- better monitoring and follow-up on incidents like false alarms, work with law enforcement to hold trespassers accountable
- more consistent and fair enforcement of building rules
Modernize Elevators
Modernize Elevators All the elevators need to be completely modernized immediately, and it is our #1 priority.
The elevator situation has been the biggest frustration for many years. We will work with the entire board to start the contract negotiations right after the election. Seek out bids from as many reputable elevator companies as possible. Pick out the best contract and provide relief to everyone in the building.
In early April 2026, 2 of the 3 high-rise elevators at Ice broke down for two weeks. There have been times when all 3 elevators would go out of service at once, leaving everyone stranded, and causing extreme stress and anxiety, especially to our vulnerable residents.
United Leadership
United Leadership We will bridge differences and bring a more cooperative approach to the board. When people work together, decisions get made faster, and the buildings moves forward.
We have built and maintained good working relationships within the Ice community and the current board, and we believe that is key. We will work with all board members respectfully and keep the focus on solving problems, not creating them.
Enhanced Communication
Enhanced Communication We are committed to keeping owners informed through clear, consistent, and timely communication. This includes regular updates on building matters, prompt responses to owner inquiries, and advance notice of important dates, meetings, and decisions. We welcome an open dialogue with owners to reach out at any time to share concerns or discuss issues. We will communicate openly and directly with honesty.
Responsible Airbnb Hosting
Responsible Airbnb Hosting The safety and comfort of our residents should be the priority. The buildings should never feel like a “ghost hotel”. Under our leadership, our buildings will be well-run and safe where everyone can feel at home.
Nick has been an Airbnb host at Ice for the past 7 years, with zero parties, zero incidents, and 100% compliance with all building rules. His expertise would be a very valuable asset on the board in making Airbnb hosting at Ice safer and more secure.
Our Commitment
Our Commitment We are running with a clear commitment to every owner in this building.
We will always act in the best interest of the buildings and its owners.
We will work professionally with all board members and focus on cooperation rather than conflict. The buildings move forward when people work together.
We will not seek any personal gain from serving on the board. Every decision we make will be guided by ethics, fairness, responsibility, and what is right for the owners and the buildings.
We will remain accessible and open to owners. We believe leadership should be available, willing to listen, and ready to act.

I first became an owner at ICE in 2017 and have remained involved in the condo community ever since. I am a University of Toronto Computer Science graduate and entrepreneur with nearly 10 years of experience building and operating a successful online business.
Through years of hosting at Ice with zero parties, zero incidents, and full compliance with building rules, I believe I can bring valuable insight to help make Airbnb hosting at ICE more responsible.
I am running for the board because I care about the future of ICE and want to help move the buildings forward in a balanced and owner-focused direction. I will not seek any personal gain from serving on the board. Every decision I make will be guided by ethics and in the best interest of the building and its owners.

I'm an owner-resident at Ice Condos with real relationships across owners, residents, and staff. I regularly report issues to management and security to get problems resolved, because the board needs someone who sees the day-to-day reality of living here. I also founded a group uniting Ice owners, whether they live here, rent long-term, or rent short-term, to make sure every voice is heard.
I'm a University of Waterloo graduate with an Arts & Business degree, majoring in Communications with a minor in Economics. My career spans corporate leadership and entrepreneurship, with senior roles at BMO, Amplify, and the Region of Peel leading multimillion-dollar projects, and now as a Broker specializing in preconstruction homes and condos — giving me a front-row seat to the trends, standards, and priorities shaping well-run buildings and communities today.
As a Director, I'd bring that on-the-ground perspective, business experience, and a transparent, results-focused approach to good governance and property value.

I have attained my post graduate education from York University majoring in Biochemistry and further diversified in fashion design. I led a successful career as a leading manufacturer of high end women’s evening gowns in North America.
Having a strong desire in real estate I further invested in the Ice Condos and have seen the 2 towers grow and expand from the very start. My continued loyalty to Ice Condos has made this journey very rewarding as I manage my condos with utmost respect and integrity.
I have a very strong commitment towards the development and welfare of the building as I have dedicated an entire decade of hard work towards this operation. With my knowledge and experience I would like to empower the future of ICE ! Lets embrace the challenges and put forth a new vision for our community to be robust and sustainable for years to come.
