Stella On The Park Apartamentos

The location is extremely convenient and central: steps away from the train, across the street from the mall and library, so many places to eat and drink.. not to mention the park! It’s been an absolute delight living here. Zack in maintenance is quick, efficient and considerate. The staff in leasing are so friendly and helpful, you really can’t ask for more.

Stella on the Park was formerly Parkside Collective. Last September, there was an explosion in the building and all the residents had to be evacuated. This is how Holland Residential/Holland Partner Group “handled the situation”:

All residents were immediately displaced and stayed in hotel rooms arranged by Holland with only whatever clothes they had on their backs.

Those hotel rooms were provided for only 2 weeks.

Representatives from Holland Partner Group sent out information stating that... the Fire Department (and then later, the "building department") would not allow anyone to return to their apartment until further notice. The Fire Marshal and City Inspector both went on record to state that they had not ordered building management to refuse access to the residents.

No security service was contracted to patrol the building while it was evacuated, which allowed thieves the time and opportunity to break into 50+ apartments. Prior to the robberies, a cleaning service was hired to empty out every apartment's refrigerator, without our knowledge or permission or vetting.

Within days of the initial evacuation, Holland terminated every single lease in the building without recourse.

Most tenants had the renter's insurance company that was affiliated with Parkside Collective; that insurance company cut off all funds/payouts to Parkside residents because Holland Residential provided a $1000 stipend for "relocation expenses."

Bottom line: Holland Residential failed to keep the residents or their property safe. They exacerbated the problem every step of the way by lying, failing to take responsibility, and finally, turning their backs on the residents and washing their hands of the whole mess. And now, they've given one last twist of the knife by restoring Parkside Collective under the new banner of Stella on the Park. Lee mas

Well you could of said that this was a 5 star but since the unexplained explosion that has now left over 300 families displaced/homeless, the lowest I could go was a 1 star since they didn't have a half star! Honestly at the beginning they were beautiful, had the most amazing view but BOOM! Wonder if they will update the photo's with the blown out side? Interesting that we have to give 60 days notice if a resident moves and has to pay all these charges if it's early termination of lease but the... management wasn't required to offer that when they terminated everyone's leases after the explosion! I have much more I could address but I feel this is enough for now, hope that anyone and everyone thinking about moving into these units once they re-open really reflects to what the residents really went thru after the explosion of 9/10/2022!!
