Building is well designed especially for fire, we had an incident where an apartment was on fire, the rest of the building was unaffected and residents could remain in their apartments without evacuation. The response time to the fire incident was in about 3-4min. Police, fire service and paramedics were on site and all helped maintain calm. Management were quick to respond as well and provided information to residents on the next steps. Signs all over the building have clearly defined instructions on evacuation procedures. In terms of facilities, while we have a gym and concierge, there exists no specific smoking area around or in the property. Design is good. Rooms are more spacious than other properties. Common areas are kept clean, elevators serviced often and any faults dealt with quickly.
The team handling maintenance and management of the property are more like extended family and are always ready to help no matter what it is.
Please tell us what you like and dislike about this area:
Waitrose in front of the main entrance, 30-40second walk, excellent access to shops and restaurants at the lexicon mall a short walk away. Bracknell station is about a 5-10min walk. Relatively quiet however if your apartment is at the front of the building you can hear noise from outside, temporary though as people pass the area, some drunk some just loud. You can hear cars especially loud sports cars from inside the apartment, it’s tolerable. Trash has a specific area where it’s dropped off by tenants and management deal with it’s collection. Concierge team are absolutely amazing, handling any request in good time and maintaining safety of the tenants.
Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:
It can be a lonely place despite the massive number of people here. Everyone mostly keeps to themselves.
How has the building management responded to any problems or issues you have raised:
Yes, there was an issue with a floorboard, they sort it out the next day after I reported the problem the previous night.
