We believe the best information about a residential development comes from the people living there. Owners and tenants have a lot of useful information to share with their prospective neighbours, not just on the property itself and its locality, but also on the developer and the building’s management.

Flashy on the outside but very disappointing experience. Lived there for over 2yrs and had countless issues. For example, one of the lifts is always down as a rule of thumb, which means you will wait up to 10mins sometimes for a lift. Rubbish system is badly managed with a single small room for the entire building (again, only accessible by lift so a trip to the bin will take you ages at times). Heating in our flat didn't work and management didn't give a hoot. Hot water not working regularly (especially on the higher floors). Also had several occasions of burst pipes, which actually leaked into floors below (again, higher floors more affected). Overall, it's a cool hotel and building but the flats were clearly not thought through. Moved out now and never looked back (especially given the prices they charge to rent...)

The building was built by SOM Architects (who also built Burj Khalifa). The design of the building is amazing and challenging architecturally. Due to the design, there are 3 rooftops throughout the building providing amazing views to the city and an outdoor space to relax and hangout. Facilities within the building are all one needs. You literally feel like living in a hotel.

The apartments are very clean and modern. It feels more like living in a hotel than a home. It's a very convenient location, with nearby shopping, transportation and a 24/7 concierge. However, the apartments are not very well designed. Space in the studio apartment is not well utilized, with a lot of wasted space due to the strange floor layout. Not enough storage in the kitchen or clothes storage. Lack of fresh air as only one window can be slightly opened. The bathroom seems excessively big relative to the rest of the apartment. Hard to wash one's face/use the sink as the bathroom cabinets overhang the sink. Overall, style has been prioritized over function. It's a bit of a soulless place to live, and I'd recommend it as a temporary convenience more than as a long-term home. I don't think it's great value as the rental prices are quite high: you're paying a premium for something modern and convenient with a 24/7 concierge (which is quite unnecessary).

Facilities and design aspects of the building are great. The only gripe I have is limited hours to take our bins out and the lifts almost always have issues. And ultimate 3 lifts for this many floors and residents often isn’t enough.. half the time they’re in use and being taken up by maintenance staff.

The apartment block is one of the best in the area. Residents are private but friendly. The staff are friendly too. The Stratford Hotel bar/restaurant on the ground floor is a nice place to chill, but prices are at the higher end. However you do get a small discount as a resident. Any issues are quickly addressed by the staff. You have added facilities available as a resident, such as a small private gym and a mezzanine area. Oh and not forgetting the three different resident only roof gardens. Minor downsides, the lifts seem to need regular maintenance, there is a drainage issue downstairs that leaves a bit of a pong on occasion, and the main front door regularly breaks down (though you can exit through the hotel easily enough. But that’s about it.
