Do not move in into this place. It is terrible. They misrepresent the building. They don’t announce the hidden fees which you end up paying when moved in. Hidden fees are for gas and electric in the communal spaces. Electric bill for communal space exceeds my personal electric bill twice - and I work from home and have TV and electricity on during the whole day. This is insane! You end up paying for all the people who don’t want to watch TV at their homes and come to the lounge area. TV in the... lounge area is on and working 24/7. Leasing office treats you terribly. They avoid any sort of issues and “play ball” once you come with On my way! Issue. Building manager is absolutely rude and her client management skills are non-existent. The team never knows what is your GL balance in terms of rent balances. The GL can have erroneous charges. Or the leasing team “forgets” to post any discounts like free month and you have to be diligent and check everything to the penny. Terrible terrible building.

This is a property that I would not recommend for anyone. The quality of living has significantly decreased within the last four years of me living here. While the cost of living there has increased significantly, along with utilities, the amenities available do not correlate with cost.

STAY AWAY
Floods, fires, cockroaches, new gaslighting management every one to two months. Please stay away.

Hi there, we regret your most recent visit with us was not up to the standards we strive for.

Horrible living conditions, crazy neighbors, poor security
Within the span of one year, there have been two fires, a flooding that damaged the property of people living in the 4th floor down, and elevators that were non-functional for over 2 months. There was no acknowledgement or attempt by the property managers to win us over, just kept charging rent like there was nothing wrong.
The car garage has been open for pretty much my entire lease, and still hasn't been fixed. Every night during the summer, people that weren't even residents would come and... use the pool for pool parties.
Some of my neighbors have very loud arguments in the middle of night, or play music all throughout the day. The only positive is that it is close to the metro, but beyond that, this place is not worth a penny.
