Cityplace sound proofing is absolute garbage. This is the reason I moved out of Cityplace. No one in their right mind would want to own property in any of these buildings. Purchasing in these buildings is a bad investment, and things like crappy sound proofing will not attract long-term owners.
My neighbour was extremely noisy and would often arrive home at 3am with 5 of his buddies and continue to party until 5 or 6am. Luckily, I was good friends with the owner below his unit as well. Together, each time one of us heard him making noise, we would contact each other and both make noise complaints. Eventually, or time, there was enough noise complaints written that formal letters were send from management office instructing him to be quieter.
It worked, for the most part. There was still the odd night where he would be partying too loudly, but all in all things got better.
Now I live in Spire, where the sound proofing is far better and before I moved in I had my real estate agent knock on the doors of the unit next door to get the dogs to start barking, while I listened from the master bedroom.
Long story short: do your due diligence when purchasing a resale unit, and don't buy in cityplace.
