"The management office staffs are TERRIBLY UNPROFESSIONAL and RUDE. I have countless experience where I was bursting in anger while dealing with the management office. Good news is that you don't have to deal with them often once you actually start living in the apartment and everyone working at the front desk are very nice."

"I never post reviews on google but this place really deserves a 0. First and foremost, the leasing rep and all management staff were horrible to deal with. STAY AWAY at all costs. My wife and I were considering moving out of our apartment in midtown in a similar building so we decided to take a look at apartments at this building, and liked a 1 bed they had available. My wife confirmed a time with the rep and when we showed up, she said that we were never confirmed when we clearly had text confirmation from her. In the end, said she’ll see us but made us wait 30 minutes. We ended up liking the apartment and submitted an application, and even paid a “refundable” $500 hold deposit to make sure that no one else can submit an application to lock the apartment up for 72 hours until we get approved. We submitted substantial tax returns and showed assets which should easily qualify us for an apartment 2 times the rent, and after constant follow up every day and getting more documentation that they requested, I had to call her at 4pm on a Friday, the end of our 72 hour to be told that we need a guarantor and instead of telling me why we were denied, she was recommending 3rd party companies to use as a guarantor. She also followed that by saying that we have 2 options: either get all guarantor information in by the end of that day, or withdraw our applicant and resubmit with all guarantor info (having to pay the $40 application fee again), and if we didn’t do either, we’d forfeit our $500 deposit which we were told all along was refunded if we didn’t get approved for any reason. Since then, I emailed and called everyday for a legitimate reason as to why we were denied and I did not hear back. I will be filing a complaint with the department of state and hope everyone STAYS AWAY."

"This building has gone downhill. Been here for several years. A pipe burst in our apartment and we had to endure a full year of paint fumes on the area they repaired. No We had a next door neighbor who played loud bass into 3 am and management did basically nothing to stop them. Had to confront the neighbor leading to a really bad living situation. Non-stop painting and toxic fumes. Why is there ongoing painting every day?! Management does not communicate painting work. Beware if you have kids and pets or if fumes bother you. The apartment ventilation is non existent. The only positive thing here is the front desk staff. That's what the one star is for."

"Updated: After 7 AC repairs in less than one year, I have no confidence it will ever really be fixed... they just keep passing around broken ones rather than replace with new. Sort these reviews by the newest and you'll see they have been going downhill. For me, it's the parking arrangements that detract from this place. Abandoned cars in the garage, the gates to exits breakdown creating hours of traffic. No one takes accountability to solve parking issues outside of regular office hours. If you need to park while living here, understand it's not a great operation."

"I typically do not write negative reviews but this is the first time I have experienced this just trying to inquire about an apartment for a luxury building. I had reached out a couple of weeks ago to schedule a tour but had to cancel due to personal reasons. I tried again this week and was kindly informed there was no availability but to visit the building as soon as possible. Both experiences encouraged a visit to the building. Recently, there was a one bedroom available so I reached out again to schedule a tour. The agent (Renee) reached out and asked for my interest (which is a one bedroom) but deferred me to studios instead. When I asked about the available 1 BR, she just told me it was available but there was a lot of interest (potential application this weekend) and I couldn’t view building amenities until an application was received. My takeaways are: 1) I'm not encourage to apply/view even if no one has placed an application yet for the apt because I expressed interest late 2) I got dismissed for what I was looking for even though I clearly stated what I wanted 3) There is nowhere on the website where it states I can't view the building amenities without submitting an application first I viewed high interest luxury apts in the past and was always allowed a viewing and encouraged to apply even if there are a high volume of applicants. If I could not view due to the apt being occupied, that was clearly communicated to me. It's normal to ask to view the building before considering living in it. It seems like I can't even come to tour this building without having to speak to the right agent even though I am always told to schedule a tour which has been difficult to do. My final takeaway is I should not be applying to/inquiring about the building unless it fits the interests of the leasing agents as my own criteria do not matter."
