Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent tenant reviews highlight the building’s convenient Midtown location, great amenities like a lounge and gym, and responsive management. The presence of pests and noise levels are recurrent concerns, possibly due to the nearby church and homeless shelter. Positive aspects include timely maintenance, secure package delivery, and friendly doormen. While the building's cleanliness and garbage management receive mixed ratings, tenants appreciate the in-unit washer/dryer and modern kitchen equipment.

Convenient location, ok building, bad management
Former Tenant
Pros:
It’s in convenient location of midtown, if you’re ok with the area itself. Building is alright, most of staffs are good and kind
Cons:
Bad management. Always super slow in response (often times don’t hear back unless you follow up). I’ve been living here for almost two years, definitely moving out. I’ve also been hearing stories about the management not giving back the deposit when moving out in spite of good condition of the units / how late they process the deposit from my neighbors who moved out

Good value for 1BR
Former Tenant
Pros:
I stayed in a one bedroom there last year and the for the value, it’s great to have w/d in unit. The views are spectacular and on a higher floor there is almost no noise even though it’s in the center of the city. If anything is broken, it gets fixed quickly my the maintenance.
Cons:
The second you leave the building, there is garbage everywhere and tons of homeless people since it’s right next to a homeless shelter. The management of the building is also slow and unresponsive at times.

This building does a good job for its tenants
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Very responsive to maintenance requests
- Never lost my packages or mail
- No pest issues
- No garbage chute issues
- Very soundproof building with respectful neighbors
Cons:
- It is immediately next to a church/homeless shelter/soup kitchen (that is not the building’s fault). I was worried about it when I moved in but it is fairly easy to avoid by using the other exit or crossing the street if you are nervous at night.
