    I am the owner of a condo unit built by Menkes in the early 2000's. I recently called the customer care department to request a copy of the floor plan for my unit. I honestly thought this would be a simple request, but to my surprise Menkes advise they have no access to this information. I received the usual run-around to call different departments but obviously no one called back. Overall the company did not even try to help and showed little care for its prior customers.

    We're a new home owner in a new subdivision developed by Menkes and couple other builders. Menkes has been really good with communication with regards to the home and schedule of the decor. During our PDI, our home had some minor issues that needed to be dealt with, they escalated to contractors and were able to fix it right away. We are satisfied with our home and the material they have used is definitely better than average among builders.

    Way too many fake positive reviews from individuals with only 1 review. Here is an honest review: We purchased a townhome from them several years ago and the initial experience dealing with someone not from sales was atrocious. It was the first time we ever had to pick materials for the finishes and upgrades for our new home and instead of helping, the “interior” designer at Menkes head office mocked us and was dismissive with our requests for help. It was only until I brought in my interior designer friend that we could get some headway. The PDI experience was a headache as they seemed to want us to rush through things so they didn’t have to fix much. Even as we listed many items that needed to be addressed or repaired, some major deficiencies that were listed could not be fixed properly or at all ex: crooked bathtub wall; unaligned closet doors; scratched cabinets/countertops; missing corner protectors…. Menkes also installed their own property management on site and the quality of service was poor. The woman in charge would only answer through email and not address any issues that were happening at the complex. Too many contracts were arranged without consideration for the budget and many times landscaping and snow removal was either done poorly or not done at all. Due to poor fiscal management, we even had to pay special assessments within the first couple of years. Menkes homes are definitely built on the cheap and give a whole new meaning for “McHomes” or “McMansions”. Menkes is only getting by through past reputation and their namesake and the fact that the real estate market is hot.

    not a customer but nothing is more terrifying than the amount of fake reviews this company has. just like other McSkyscrapers developed by some corporation in the GTA, it provides the bare minimum to its residents and they actively voice these concerns in the reviews, but hey, there's nothing a little review from John Doe can't fix!

    Terrible developer. They encourage contractors to park in bike lanes, putting people's lives at risk. No one should do business with people like that.

    This is one of the worst companies that I ever worked for. Very abusive and misleading management. Some of the VPs, directors, managers, superintendents who work there have no ethics, values, self-respect and have mental issues. Stay away from this company.

    Rented a condo with the Menkes Rental Suites Management Inc. but had the worst experience of my life. Kimberly Sears and Franseca Scala are the worst possible people to help you out with issues. I have a major issue with my AC/HVAC but they won't fix it. When I proposed to get my own technician for repairs, they warned me not to do it but they won't get it fixed either. The sheer incompetence and unwillingness to help is surprising. If possible, I would break the lease and get out of this disaster ASAP.

    Horrible company to deal with if you are a tenant. This are the most greedy and unhelpful company, they will rip you off right and left with every chance they get. They show zero empathy for struggling but very loyal tenants and will give zero days of extension and put you right on default immediately.

    One of the better developers within the GTA. I was thinking of buying a place at Bravo when I first heard of project. When I went to the sales office, the reception staff greeted me with a welcoming smile. The sales rep called Estella was super duper respectful even though I came in without my agent since I want to take a look before committing. I just wanted to point out their Sale's team excellent services even though I was a pain to deal with. Cheers~

  • 5/5 KIOOK M. 2 years ago on Google
    I have signed more than several leases in my business life, but this one was the easiest, most professional leases I have done yet, by leaps and bounds. Thank you Menkes, if I could give you 20 stars, I would.

    Menkes is great to work with. They answers your calls immediately, and always keeps you updated on your transaction. Menkes Developments is honest and efficient, highly recommended.

  • 5/5 Natalie C. 1 year ago on Google
    We engaged Menkes Developments late last year to help us find a tenant and manage our property. Right from the beginning, the staff were very responsive and professional - they gave us sound advice during the screening process and did a thorough assessment of each of the prospective renters. We came to rely on them quite quickly and they have delivered. We are satisfied customers.

    I cannot say enough good things about my experience with the professionals at Menkes Developments. Menkes promptly returned my call and was enthusiastic and ready to show me not just one, but several commercial spaces. I loved the first one they showed me, we signed the papers and have a beautiful location today in a great area of downtown Toronto.

  • 5/5 Bonnie S. 2 years ago on Google
    I’m not used to writings reviews, but the experience with Menkes was so unbelievably positive that I felt it merited one. The response time was immediate. They always made time to answer all my questions and the firm as a whole is very professional, knowledgeable, responsible, friendly. Menkes always went above and beyond to achieve positive results in our rather large transaction. I would definitely recommend this firm to anyone, especially with my experience with them. Thanks for everything . I am one very satisfied client.

    I purchased a Mobilio unit in 2019, and after residing in it for an extended period, I am delighted to share that the overall quality of my new home has surpassed all my expectations. From the beginning, I encountered a few minor issues before occupancy, but thanks to the outstanding support from their admin, Ling, my entire experience was transformed into an exceptional one. Her unparalleled dedication and willingness to go above and beyond to ensure everything was finalized before my move-in date were truly commendable.
