- maintenance quick to respond

- hallways are dated
- issue with humidity in summer, even with the built in room AC
- expensive, high rent increases

Location. Park. Dogs.

Too many roaches.

Need better pest control.

Neighbors were quiet and the essentials (heat/ac, hot water, gas) were generally fine

Expensive for what you get. Construction on the gym and amenities went far past schedule, windows bled a lot of heat, and the super seemed to be stretched thin.

Overall building is good. Good maintenance, good amenities (when they are open), and no big noice or neighbors problems

First, the lack of communication. Apart from maintenance, if you have another issue good luck finding who to speak with and getting answers. They’ve been working on the amenities for all year and there’s no clear communication of when they will be done. Pool was close for a while, the gym is in the rooftop and others are still closed. They are still charging us the amenity fees. For the apartment near the amenities the noise is terrible as well

Communication should be two ways. Stop charging for what you aren’t giving.

I enjoyed living here. It had attractive amenities, pool, roof deck, and they even did some social events pre-COVID. I did live here several years ago so I'm not sure what they do now.

We needed to shorten our lease, and they were very much sticklers about it, despite a rising rent environment.

I can't think of any advice.

Lovely view, proximity to Gantry Park, great staff.

Rent increase was over 30% in on year.

The fitness classes are great as well as all the other amenities.

Management is not responsive.

Address residents’ concerns.

I like the location, it’s close to a lot of things. The door men and everyone that works in the building are a pleasure.

If you have anyone over that has a car parking can be tough.
Management is terrible here and do very little for the current residents. I feel like they have a revolving door with new tenants very few of them stay and now I understand. Management is hard to get in contact with and sometimes you can’t get answers to your questions.

Try to do your very best to keep your current residents. Go out of your way for them and make them feel special. Be visible! Take advantage that they are in the building and build on that relationship instead of people constantly coming and going. Don’t treat them like a business.

The amenities are great - they have a full gym setup with all necessary equipment. The rooftop is spacious and has enough room to host large groups.

There are a lot of renovations going on to update the apartments. The noise can be mind-numbing so if you are working from home, I would be wary of that.

There is an large sized pool in the gym (laps only)

Can't invite guests to use facilities
Gossipy door and maintenance staff spread rumors to neighbors and make fun of residents
Hallways look like a seedy hotel
Neighboring buildings can see through the window shades at night so 1000 people get a show
Packages go astray/missing and often have signs of tampering
Overpriced
No usable space in kitchens or bathrooms and weird angles so you can't fit your bed especially in cheaper units
Rodent problems
Constant drilling/jackhammer sound all day for months at a time
Frequent water outages from "maintenance".

Great location
Convenient transportation
Clean renovated apartments

Construction ALL the time, very noisy
Rude doormen
Neighbors do not keep COVID -19 restrictions and try to sneak in the small elevator with you
Parking garage’ employees are not knowledgeable and do not speak English sometimes even
No water pretty often because of constant constructions

Pay attention what is happening in your building, seems like you own them and sit on your ass now, not caring about tenants’ complains and not caring about their convenience.

Location
New apartments are well finished

Expensive - overpriced
Loud construction noises
Rude doormen
Management unresponsive
Doesn’t really enforce Covid 19 measures

Be more attentive to your tenants and don’t let your employees be rude to your tenants

Clean, good amenities, great location

Management company tries to nickel and dime you - get everything in writing!

Get a balcony facingk the soccer field for privacy but know that you will hear kids playing early on the weekends (even on the 11th floor)

Location is good
Doormen and most staff are nice
Views

The building is undergoing construction and full renovation of units. About 10 units are renovated every two months. The noise is unbearable from 9-5 every single weekday.

Resident manager is extremely rude to tenants.

Stay away until construction is over and they get a new resident manager.

Ask the resident manager to at least be respectful to tenants
