One Columbus Place 1 Columbus Place, Manhattan, New York,

"Only live here if you’d like to know what it’s like to live in a construction zone. 90db construction year round starting promptly at 8:30am-4:30pm. Everyday. For 5k+ a month for a one bed! And all management has to say is “it’s state mandated”. No compensation and the sales reps were not forthcoming about this at all. For construction to be ongoing for over 2 yrs with no end in sight, it looks more like gross negligence for decades until their hand was forced. It’s been the most miserable 2yrs and cant wait to move out."

"The doorman staff are absolutely wonderful - outside of that I would not recommend this place to anyone paying over $2K for a one bedroom. Between the noise due to construction (that goes beyond the state mandated hours) during the day and proximity to the hospital - you’ll be lucky to find a moment of silence. Hallways are not properly cleaned, they are vacuumed but never scrubbed and smell absolutely foul. The smell of the trash shoot leaks into your apartment. Half of the people living in this building seem to be lottery winners paying $2K a month for the same apartment that costs $5K for others. Don’t let the glossy hallways and nice gym fool you. No rooftop, just a small terrace that is closed 9/12 months during the rent, but you’re still charged $100 per month/person to access it and the gym. As someone who has lived in other luxury apartment buildings in NYC, this one just isn’t worth it. Counting down the days until the lease is up."

"Do not live here. The city mandated work has been going on over a year now, they offer no rent abatements and there is no end in sight. It is literally impossible to listen to zoom meetings and give presentations with the noise volume of drilling that has been going on for weeks now. Management is extremely cold in communication, offering no solutions or appeasement. They've also been charging new tenants 100$ per person, per month for gym and lounge access, while the only "included" outdoor patio / communal space is closed (for 9 months of a 12 month lease). That's 200$ for access to a small lounge and gym, with no other included amenities other than a laundry room in the basement."

"We lived here for 26 months up until February 2018. The building staff are extremely friendly and always looking to help out, both front office and back. During the period of recent renovations, the building put a lot of effort into keeping us informed and happy — including free breakfasts and juice days — and has used the opportunity significantly to improve its common areas, including its lobby and gym. As an example of the building's attention to results: one of the elevators was initially redecorated in a manner that, although attractive, picked up a whole bunch of scratches and dents very quickly. So the building simply renovated it again with much sturdier internals. Two entirely new elevator internals in the space of a couple of months! We also couldn't be more impressed with the flexibility that the building has shown in negotiations over our move-out date. We messed them about quite a lot, since we chose to purchase a condo and the completion date varied this way and that. Aware of our situation, the building has shown an extreme willingness to try to accommodate our changing needs. Were we not buying, we definitely wouldn't move out. Great building!"
