| Norman Cressey (and his son Scott Cressey) are the owners of a condo development company called Cressey Developments. AND some may not know that they ALSO own a SLUM LANDLORD operation called Nacel Properties. These rental buildings can be found all over BC but particularly in the lower mainland. They are all the same. I URGE you to google "nacel properties complaints" and brace yourself for the massive amount of links you will come up with. The rental buildings are infested with bedbugs, cockroaches, and rodents. They have constant fires and floods. Repairs are not made and if they are, they are done very poorly and put people's health at risk. Many of there buildings have fire alarm systems that do not work and these scumbags could care less if every one of their tenants died in a fire. They were the FIRST company ever to be charged by the Richmond Fire Dept after one of their slums was discovered. This company is notorious for making promises they will NOT keep. They prey on people that they think will not fight them. This often includes low income individuals, single mom's, immigrants, etc. Every so often they rent a suite out to the wrong person (such as me). I recorded everything this company did to me including taking pictures, contacting polititians, city inspectors, news agencies, and the Residential Tenancy Branch. I sued them for over $4000 after only being their tenant for 5 months. BEWARE of this company. Before you EVER decide to rent from Nacel, do your research online. One search will net you thousands of complaints and BELIEVE every single one of them. It's unbelievable that this company is still in business. Truly unbelievable. Also if you are someone who is looking to purchase a high end condo from Cressey Developments, keep in mind what business ethic these criminals have and try and find some empathy for the THOUSANDS of people this company is hurting. Please choose to buy from a different builder. Let's stop supporting this kind of abuse. |

| I currently live in a Nacel building and everything above is true. The property manager changes every few weeks - never the same person. Some suites are rented per the provincial "incentive program", meaning that the tenant is "multiple barriers" and the govt pays their rent. This policy creates tenants who do not care about their surroundings and even less about their neighbours. Garbage is strewn all about and most recently, motor oil poured onto the lobby carpet by an angry evicted "rent-free" tenant. Meanwhile normal tenants are suckered in, as the manager pretends that it is a normal building - and we each pay in excess of $1, 000 per month. The building has had a very severe bedbug and cockroach problem - only after many, many months of terrible infestation along with multiple complaints to the City, did anything get done about it. Suites are often entered without permission. My mail has been stolen on two occasions - once a govt cheque was stolen & cashed, another time my son's birthday money from Grandma was taken. Water was recently shut off without any warning whatsoever, for apparently routine plumbing work - with no advance notice to tenants. Access to hot water has been a problem for over one year - there was often no hot water at all in the suite, and nothing was done until very recently, after many months and several phonecalls to Mr. Cressey. This is BY FAR the worst building I have ever had the misfortune to live in, and I've lived in 11 different buildings in Toronto and B.C. I've never seen anything like this. it is just ABSOLUTELY appalling. Seriously: never, ever rent from Nacel properties. THE CRESSEYS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEMSELVES. |

Totally agreed. We moved into a Nacel building in 2010 - worst mistake ever. It looked okay at the beginning, but after a few changes in managers it turned into a hellhole. Tenants who don't pay rent on time are not dealt with in a timely manner, many break areas of the tenancy agreement and a "blind eye" is turned, as long as you keep the peace. Do the research when you look for apartments, anything listed on this website is generally a Nacel owned building... avoid at all costs!
