Not worth the hassle or the price
I moved into The Royal as soon as it opened in April 2024. I was prepared to experience some issues being that it was a completely new construction & any building is going to go through some growing pains- but the only way I can describe it is a total mess. The actual construction of the building is insanely bad. For the 1st month & a half, I didn’t have working A/C. Within the first 1-2 weeks, my bathroom wall had to be cut open because there was water leaking from my ceiling. The amenities... didn’t open until 6 months in; grills on the 3rd floor never actually worked, even when I moved out in July 2025. A/C in the gym & coworking space stopped working 2 months before I left & temps in the spaces were 80+ degrees. Management & communication; to me, relationships/communication is important- this is completely nonexistent there. Emails are ignored & never responded to. Following up with the property manager for basic things was a full-time job for me. Instead of communicating with residents & notifying everyone of things going on in/around the building, residents hear things through the grapevine from other residents. Price: The price of units is atrocious. Yes, there are certain things, like in-unit laundry, that are great (if they work) & its about a block from the Bloomfield train station. But considering the safety of the area, you can get something in a better area & closer to the city especially considering all the added fees.
