What residents praise

Responsive maintenance and organized packages

Residents describe repairs completed within a day and a package room that works smoothly despite the building's size.

Strong staff and unbeatable location

Concierge and building teams earn frequent praise, while Union Square puts transit, groceries and downtown neighborhoods outside the door.

What residents complain about

Apartment quality varies by owner

Finishes, storage, repairs and lease terms depend on the individual condominium owner rather than one rental operator.

Move rules, roof access and street noise add friction

Residents mention substantial move fees, restrictive roof policies, complex elevator routes and 14th Street noise.

Amenities

Zeckendorf Towers has a 24-hour doorman, shared laundry rooms and in-unit machines in some apartments. Residents share a fitness center, skylit indoor lap pool and landscaped roof gardens, with an attached garage and package room.
