They definitely look to be slanted for drainage. The typical slope is 2%, these look more like 4-5%
I'll take a more severe slope over what happened at my old "luxury" townhouse...where it was sloped towards the building. That was a fun new-warranty claim after the first winter. One of the many reasons I got out of that p.o.s.

That's likely a mistake from the contractor or Architect. We say 2% minimum so that if there is an error or the building settles (shrinkage for wood frame) then you still have positive drainage.

I know Castello had some negative drainage issues and they spent a ton of money fixing it recently.

Yeah it was definitely a contractor error. I doubt any architect would have designed a negative slope without some sort of drainage integrated.
Even if they accidentally did, it’s still contractor error because what complete idiot would read that and go, well that’s what the drawing says so pour water into the building we must!

Ok ok, I’ve met enough idiots that I honestly could not rule that out.
 
These rental rates are... high. Not to mention these unit sizes. Truman is building a lot, which is good, but if they're just importing GTA/GVA shoebox condos, not the best outcome.

Unfortunately, $1800 for a brand new, one bedroom 500 square ft apartment is the going rate these days. There are better deals for older apartments.

Might be, but next door there's 650 sq ft for $1850, or 625 for $1750. For pretty much a brand new building.
