Questionable remodel and lots of fines.

I just moved out and have extremely mixed thoughts about this property. While its beautiful on the outside the management is very prickly and the remodel was done rather poorly. The floors in my apartments are not level so that one of my doors doesn't close and the windows don't seal properly which led to a lot of bugs. Also the paint tends to peel off of the plaster walls.
Not to mention the FEES. There's a fee for everything around here. If you leave your trashcan out past 8am for the valet...
trash they will fine you 50 dollars. Upon move out I disassembled a small ikea couch and put it in the dumpster and got fined 100 dollars. Apparently residents may not use the dumpster, so any trash more than the single bag must be taken off site.
Lastly they have a fire alarm problem so once or twice a month a fire alarm will go off at 3 am which forced me to evacuate with my animals.
Overall I would expect more leniency and favorability towards residents for an apartment building that leaves a yogurt splatter up the main entrance door for 6 months.

Expensive but poor renovation!

Since March, the paint on the wall started to fall, I sent numerous email to the office. They said they will fix it soon, but until now ( September ) they haven't done anything but to check the "moisture" in between the walls! This issue poses hazard to us! Also, there are not enough parking for all the residents, and sometimes you have to park outside of the compound. Will soon move out once contract is done.

Find somewhere else-nothing special

I was really excited about living here, and for the first month or two I didn’t have any issues. It’s under construction so I understand hiccups. However it has gotten ridiculous at this point. Constant fire alarms (some even at 2 am). Promises of amenities that never happen. I moved in back in February was told the elevator would be ready by my move in date. Then was told it would be ready by March and now it’s August…still no elevator. The pool was supposed to be ready in May…now it’s August... and no pool with no explanation as to why. The construction workers left trash and boxes outside my apartment and I’ve contacted management about it several times. Their response “Living in a construction area can be difficult, we apologize for any inconvenience”. They have very limited amount of parking spaces for the number of residence they have and they choose to constantly close down a whole section of parking spaces for the construction workers…who still chose to park in resident parking areas, so you have to park else where. Don’t bother getting any packages shipped to here. The mail room is locked and if someone shuts the door you can’t get in, and 50% of the time the mailmen can’t even get into the building. I got locked out once around 8pm and couldn’t get in. I called the officer on duty whose supposed to be there all night. He responded “I just left wait for someone to come in or out and see if they’ll let you in”. We pay $100 for a Valet trash service every month and they pick and chose when they take your trash. Even if you follow all the rules I’ve had numerous amounts of time they just don’t pick up my trash. Honestly there are multiple other apartment complexes out there for the same price. Save your money this place isn’t special and will just give you a headache. 100% poor management who does not care about their residents. Just trying to make it into the newspaper and get there grants for remolding a historic building.

They only care about your rent money!

All the positive reviews are from the same date?because they paid residents $5 to them. The fire alarms go off all the time, like 11 times in 2 days last week. They scheduled workers to come into your apartment at random times with no way for you to request a rescheduled. The elevator has been promised for a year and the pool is literal trash pit. They email threats of fines on a regular basis but how they disrupt your life is nothing to them. Work orders to fix things go unfulfilled for months.... Your packages won’t get delivered. UPS and FEDEX don’t have access to the building after hours.

worst place i’ve lived

I’ve found many bugs in my apartment the last few months despite never opening the windows and keeping the apartment clean and having them spray. The door to get in the building is constantly broken. There is no elevator or pool. The buildings aren’t connected so if you don’t live in the main building you have to walk around the entire property to get to the mail room. You need a fob to get into the amenity rooms and a lot of the time the fob doesn’t work.
