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.

The building is newly built, very clean with a lovely interior design. It has well organized communal spaces and a perfect atrium, sometimes utilized for yoga classes. You literally become a part of a community that cares for all, environmentally, socially when you become a resident. And you would have the opportunity for almost 7/24 hour support always with smiling faces from building management/front desk team Ellen, Yasmin and Shea and security people. So glad to be a part of it!

very modern and great amenities for workers!! the coffee machine is my favourite and the events that are held here are a great way to meet new people! the windows are also sound proof which is so important to me, you can not hear anything from outside once the windows are closed

We love the building design, the pastel pinks are very 'us' and different from the other developments we looked at in a similar price range. The shared area downstairs is a great space, and there is a lounge and kitchen available to book for private functions. Celebrations and occasions are held by the building staff for Christmas/Valentine's, etc, along with 'just because' events to build community. The atrium space could be used for much more than it currently is. The bedroom sizes in the apartment were a big selling point, as they are equal sizes rather than the majority we viewed that were one big bedroom and one tiny one. The apartment is dog friendly, although rules around dogs not being kept on a lead within the building aren't adhered to by all. Front desk staff are available during working hours and are really nice and easy to get along with, and there are security staff overnight and at weekends which is really nice to have. However, repairs take a long time. There has been a broken door in the shared space since I viewed the building in December, and there are small maintenance works which are taking a while to resolve as they have to be done by the building contractors due to it being within a year of completion.

Impeccable management with quite friendly (and helpful!) staff. The design and aesthetic of the whole building and apartments is so relaxing and inviting. The co-working space is a huge plus, as well as the extensive coffee machine with lots of options for hot drinks.
Manager response
