I absolutely love the location and the staff! Furnishings are as expected. Construction--especially the saw--really suck. I can't work from home in my flat because of the noise. But overall, I'm very happy to live here!! I frequent restaurants and bars that are literally seconds away. And there is a nearby bus stop (currently closed, but soon to be reopened). I'm excited for the pilates place to open next door, too. I also love that there is additional free storage (upon availability) in the basement!

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Building management has responded to two issues that I had with my flat (heater not working and a leak) very quickly. The maintenance person is very upbeat and funny as well as extremely good at his job! He's timely, professional, and cleans up any mess created by fixing the problem.

I didn't quite realize how fabulous the location is! And I love the tenant activities!

Every development has maintenance issues, part of life - however, I wouldn’t expect issues to prolong for months and months on end for example the AnPR camera to the entrance of the car park hasn’t worked for months, network issue, firmware issue whatever the issue it shouldn’t take months to resolve. Pulling up to the car park gates blocking the footpath for pedestrians whilst you get out of your car to touch your tag on the pad isn’t great. Being locked in the car park numerous times because they don’t work making numerous people late for work whilst someone resets the gates so they open isn’t acceptable . When the car park gates are opened because they don’t work is a security risk especially when mag locks to core doors haven’t worked since we moved in 9 months ago letting any strangers gain instant access to all floors These all need fixing Urgently. As for the bin chutes, marketed so much when we were shown the apartment, they are great apart from Sunday or bank holiday Mondays, despite the sign saying emptied 4 times a day, they might be when the maixtenance team are working. If you ask the FoH staff to clear the bins chutes on a Sunday or bank holiday Monday as they are blocked and full, the response is maintenance are on a long weekend, they will be sorted on Tuesday carrying multiple bags of rubbish down numerous floors to a bin store is something you really dont want to be dining on your day off

How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:

Issues I have raised has been answered with “it’s a contractor issue” and still not resolved
