Summary

Reviews

Residents like the apartments, rooftop program and people handling the front desk and daily upkeep. The clearest operational problem is the automated garage, which multiple residents say fails often enough to delay work and appointments, while leasing and management follow-through is less consistent than the concierge experience.

The automated garage fails too often

Several residents report lift or door breakdowns once or twice a week, sometimes adding 30 minutes or forcing them to change transportation plans.

Management and leasing can be difficult to reach

Reviews describe slow email responses, disorganized leasing, changing prices or rules and limited help when a garage or billing problem escalates.

Some amenities and apartment details do not hold up

Residents mention unstable coworking Wi-Fi, slow amenity repairs, thin walls and early signs of wear despite the building's recent construction.
