Preliminary risk signals

These are derived from public registry data — construction era, size and depreciation report status. They are not a substitute for reading the actual strata document package, which is where the real risks live.

  • Newer construction (post-2010)

    info

    Built 2018. Likely still inside the 2-5-10 New Home Warranty window for structural items (10 years from occupancy). Look for active warranty disputes between strata and developer in Section 35 records.

  • Large strata (100+ units)

    info

    398 units. Costs are spread across many owners, but councils tend to be more politically active — Section 35 records and AGM minutes are typically thicker. More room for disputes about amenities, parking, and mixed-use cost sharing.

About this information

Building data is compiled from public land title, municipal, and strata registry sources. It is provided for informational purposes and is not legal, financial, or real estate advice. Always verify against the strata corporation’s official documents (Form B, bylaws, financial statements, depreciation report, minutes) before making a purchase decision.

Condo fees and strata fees

Monthly fees at 2220 Kingsway are set by the strata corporation’s annual budget, approved at the AGM, and disclosed in the Form B information certificate. They cover operating costs (insurance, utilities, management, maintenance) and contributions to the Contingency Reserve Fund. To see the actual current figure and the fee trajectory over recent years, you need the budget, financial statements, and recent AGM minutes.

Special levy history

A special levy is a one-time assessment for unbudgeted capital work — envelope remediation, roofing, plumbing, parkade. The history of special levies (and the levies projected in the depreciation report) is the single best signal for what living at Kensington Gardens might cost over the next 5–10 years. SearchStrata extracts the full levy history from minutes and AGM packages with page-level citations.

Reserve fund & depreciation report

As a BC strata with 398 units, this building is generally required to maintain a depreciation report refreshed every five years. The report projects 30 years of capital expenditures; the Contingency Reserve Fund (CRF) balance versus the report’s recommended contributions tells you whether owners are saving fast enough for what’s coming.

Frequently asked questions about Kensington Gardens

When was Kensington Gardens built?

Kensington Gardens was built in 2018, making it approximately 8 years old. Construction era is a key signal in BC because buildings from the 1985–2000 rainscreen window often carry building-envelope history, while post-2010 buildings are typically still inside the 2-5-10 New Home Warranty period for structural items.

How many units are in Kensington Gardens?

Kensington Gardens has 398 units across 18 floors. Unit count matters because capital costs (roofing, envelope, parkade work) are split across every owner — smaller buildings concentrate cost per unit, larger ones spread it.

What is the strata plan number for Kensington Gardens?

Kensington Gardens is registered under strata plan EPS5134. The prefix identifies the registration era (NWS = older, EPS/BCS = newer post-2010 registrations under the Strata Property Act). The strata plan defines the boundaries of common property, limited common property, and individual strata lots and is referenced throughout the Form B information certificate and bylaws.

How can I find the condo fees and special levy history for Kensington Gardens?

Current monthly condo / strata fees, the special levy history, and the contingency reserve fund balance are not in any public registry — they live in the strata corporation's document package: the Form B information certificate, financial statements, recent AGM minutes, and the depreciation report. Request the package through your realtor (or directly via the strata management company) and upload it to SearchStrata to get every figure extracted and explained with page-level citations.

Does Kensington Gardens require a depreciation report?

Yes. Kensington Gardens has 398 units, and BC strata corporations with five or more residential strata lots are generally required to obtain a depreciation report and refresh it every five years. The report projects 30 years of major capital expenditures and is the single most important document for understanding the building's long-term financial trajectory.
