The Azure - 436 Albee Square at 436 Albee Square,

Brooklyn, NY 11201

Convenient location close to all subway stops, great staff, good amenities

Elevators can take a long time when one is in service or down

Simple well-built new apartments, laundry included, great views on upper floors, good price for the area. Doormen very friendly and management mostly responsive.

Somewhat cheap kitchen fixtures, loud when windows are open.

Close to trains, shopping, and food.
Affordable rent to an extent.
Units taken care of for the most part

College students, in large quantities live here making it discount the “luxurious” feel. The building markets itself as a luxurious high rise but it’s far from that. It’s nice enough for you to feel comfortable. The units are OK, again, not luxurious,

Literally nothing positive.

My rent was increased without my notification
Ended up being sued by my landlords and it bankrupt me

eat dirt

The building is nice and has very good amenities

The 2 elevators were not sufficient, also a lot of the building is used for student housing

24/7 doorman service
Great location (Trader Joes across the street, every subway line imaginable)
Excellent appliances — best dishwasher I’ve ever used
Water pressure is superb; hot water comes on nearly instantly
Lots of natural light

It’s literally a dorm; Kings College owns a bunch of the units and packs them so tightly that half the people living here are college students
Amenities are pretty crappy
Only 2 elevators for about 150 units
Maintenance takes a long time
Units are poorly designed; the sink is too short, the drawers are too narrow for a piece of paper, and instead of a shower curtain there is a clear wall that covers half the bathtub so water gets everywhere.

The doormen are amazing, and all the support staff do a great job in maintaining the building. The unit itself was nice.

A significant number of units were rented to a local university as dorms which caused a lot of issues - backups on the elevators, broken down elevators from overuse, kids in pjs, typical college party stuff. The kids were mostly respectful but it wasn't really a luxury building experience because of them. The building also had some issues from shoddy workmanship in the construction. The floor to ceiling windows were amazing except they weren't properly sealed and leaked throughout the year, making it incredibly difficult to keep the apartment warm during the winter months. Even after repeated requests, management was unable to fix them.

Fix the sealants - you're costing your tenants a lot of money in utility bills.

Doorman staff friendly, super clean, always felt safe.

Only two elevators that were often out of service

Beautiful high rise with a target and trader joes right across! There is also a gym and a lounge room on the first floor. Floor to ceiling windows which brought in so much light.

There were 28 floors with only two elevators. One elevator was usually broken so it took a long time to get downstairs.

Improve maintenance on the elevators and replace the dishwashers often.

Clean building, awesome desk staff (usually), everything works

Security isn't the best, elevators can be slow (especially if one is out of service, which happens regularly), the shower "door" is weird and water kind of gets everywhere

nice management. 2 elevators

sometimes easy to hear peoples conversation in the hallway and when someone's door open and shuts It sounds like its my door even though its someone in the hallway.

tell doorman to ask less questions

Building is clean, beautiful view, amazing doormen and great amenities

BEWARE: this building offers student housing. If you don't want a bunch of loud college students as your neighbors, I do not recommend.

Be transparent about the college students

Across the street there is Target and Trader Joes and dining places as well as a movie theater.

Management was not able to be very supportive, especially by my roommate was going through a mental health crisis.

Be more knowledgeable, aware, and able to make changes to leases, especially when a tenant is going to through mental health crises.

In unit laundry. Central air, never seen bugs. Secure mail.

Building homeless shelters near by. Doormen don’t always pay the best attention

Nice concierge team, clean new building, rooftop is great

Awful construction noise
Did not return my security deposit without providing itemized list of deductions in time

Great amenities and amazing doormen that help with anything you need

Probably not being able to access the lounge at any time. You have to go down to the front desk and get a key

the apartments are spacious, the views from both sides of the building are spectacular, the doormen are lovely, and the management is very responsive and helpful!

a lot of college students live in the building, but most of them come from private christian schools or homeschooling so they're pretty tame.

The units are a good size and all come with amazing balconies. Appliances work great and are new. The doormen are wonderful and learn everyone's name right away. Management is very quick and responsive to maintenance requests. Overall very clean.

The walls are paper thin and depending on who your neighbour is they can be very, very loud. There has been ongoing construction next door which can be extremely loud and rattles the apartment during the day. The construction is almost complete now though.

Beautiful rooftop space & awesome grills / furniture

Terrible construction noise at all hours

Albee was great for the two years I was there! The doormen were always great and friendly, gym was good enough for me, and building was always clean!

Sometimes elevators would be down but that’s about it!
