SURVEY RESULTS



An Amenity Survey was conducted earlier this year to solicit feedback from residents at 600LSD. Resident participation was very good with a total of 211 responses received.

85% of respondents use the Fitness Center with almost two-thirds using it at least weekly.

CARDIO EQUIPMENT

• 94% use the cardio equipment
• Treadmill 78%
• Elliptical 51%
• Recumbent Bike 29%
• Speed Bike 19%
• Stairmaster 25%

Amongst the feedback received, suggestions were made for newer equipment, improved video, rowing machines, Peloton, spin bikes, and Clmbr.

STRENGTH EQUIPMENT

• 85% of respondents use the strength training equipment
• Weight Machines 83%
• Free Weights / Dumbells 85%
• Squat Rack 22%

Suggestions were received for newer equipment, heavier dumbbells, assisted pull-up machine, kettlebells, additional cable machine, free bar squat rack, hip thrust machine, pull up bar, TRX, exercise balls, speed punching bag, resistance bands, and medicine balls.

STRETCHING EQUIPMENT

• 40% of respondents use the stretching equipment
• Yoga Mats 89%
• Foam Rollers 55%

Suggestions were received for resistance bands, new mats, and a stretch station/cage.

In addition to soliciting feedback from residents using the survey, actual usage data has been collected for over a year for the cardio equipment and weight machines. This data helped identify the level of utilization of each piece of equipment. 

When asked about future amenities, residents responded:

• Coffee Bar 41%
• Golf Simulator 33%
• Yoga and Pilates studio 30%

Other suggestions received included: a dog run/potty area, a dog washing station, a call for monthly pet fees to be charged, guest parking, a steam room/sauna, a dedicated room for personal trainers and fitness classes, modification of community rooms into dedicated entertainment space, library/reading room, children’s playroom, convenience store, coffee/wine bar, larger dry cleaner, wine storage, swimming pool, and a hot tub.

The aim is to update and enhance amenities at 600LSD for the benefit of owners and residents overall. Consideration was given to all suggestions received. Proposals were formulated based on suggestions by residents, the level of demand, actual usage data, viability, cost, and the limited space available. 

AMENITY PROPOSALS

FITNESS CENTER

All of the equipment proposed is top of the line including the display consoles with multiple programs to help you work out or entertain you while you work out. Multiple sets of dumbbells are proposed for the lighter weights as they’re more commonly used than the heavier weights. This means users don’t have to wait for someone else to finish a set before working out themselves. Wherever possible, suggestions were incorporated within the proposal. 

All of the information solicited was considered before formulating the proposal for the Fitness Center. The equipment proposed for the Fitness Center can be reviewed by clicking the links below.

• Cardio Equipment
• Strength Equipment
• Racks, Benches, and Free Weights
• Yoga and Pilates

BUSINESS CENTER

52% of respondents use the Business Center with almost 13% of those using it at least weekly.

While the Business Center remains a valuable amenity, it is used increasingly infrequently by the residents of 600LSD.   As utilization has diminished, it is proposed that the Business Center move to the space formerly occupied by the Belgravia sales suite near the dry cleaner. Although smaller, the space will be refurbished and furnished to become a modern state-of-the-art business center with a conference room for meetings. Further information and engagement will follow as this proposal is worked up. 

GOLF SIMULATOR

Moving the Business Center to the space formerly occupied by the developer’s sales suite frees up space for an additional amenity at 600LSD adjacent to the Fitness Center. The addition of a golf simulator enjoys strong owner support and is in line with similar residential buildings as 600LSD. 33% of respondents support a golf simulator as a future amenity. Most new construction Grade A condominium buildings in a similar market to 600LSD offer golf simulators as an amenity. After reviewing the information, specifications, functionality, and support of the two leading systems in the marketplace, it is proposed that Trackman is the system best suited for 600LSD.  Further information and engagement will follow as this proposal is worked up. 

These are exciting enhancements to 600LSD, which will help it continue to maintain its status as a top-tier facility that is very much up-to-date and a wonderful building to call home. 

Your support for the proposals, comments, and /or suggestions are welcomed and should be emailed to Callista Villagomez.

 Thank you for your participation in the Amenity Survey and consideration of the Amenity Proposals.
