Great staff! But the design of the building and the entire area inspires little inspiration and belief in humanity’s true potential. No wonder everyone is stuck in their phones — the world is unpleasant to look at!

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

They try hard to help. Good, sincere, hard-working people.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

Balcony angles allow no light to enter 2 out of 3 rooms. One balcony is unusable due to gusts of wind of overwhelming nature.

Please tell us about the good and bad aspects of living in your local area:

The area is plagued by constant construction, which not only creates an overwhelming amount of noise but also leads to significant air pollution. Unfortunately, the apartments are poorly soundproofed, so you can hear the noise all day, making it impossible to relax or enjoy any peace and quiet. The outdoor spaces are also completely unusable because of this. On top of that, the sidewalks are often blocked off due to the construction, forcing pedestrians to walk dangerously close to speeding traffic. It’s incredibly unsafe, especially for families or anyone trying to avoid an accident.

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

I’m beyond frustrated with both the ongoing issues at this apartment and the complete lack of responsiveness from management. Despite multiple emails from me outlining how my friend's mishandling of her personal data has negatively impacted her credit score, they've yet to resolve my concerns and have no sense of urgency. It's not only unethical, but it’s also left me in a difficult financial situation, and management seems completely uninterested in resolving their mistakes.

Please share one thing (or more) which you wish you had known before you moved in:

I truly regret ever living here. Even months after moving out, the impact of poor management continues to affect me emotionally and financially
