I’ve lived in true luxury buildings before—places with basketball courts, multiple pools, full gyms, saunas, walking paths, even a grocery store in the lobby. This building is marketed as “luxury,” but it’s simply not.

Pros:
There is a top-level amenity space with a sauna and steam room. That said, even those aren’t reliable—they’re often not working during scheduled bookings, and there’s no enforcement, so anyone can walk in during your reserved time.

Cons:
The appliances are below average.… The washer and dryer are small, inefficient, and have shrunk multiple items of clothing. You can’t properly wash or dry larger items like comforters without going to a laundromat. When we first moved in, the stove turned on but didn’t actually heat, and had to be replaced. The replacement still performs poorly. The microwave heats unevenly—parts of your food will be cold while others are hot. The fridge works, but it’s small and doesn’t have a proper ice maker.

The flooring is low-quality stick-and-peel, and many of the fixtures (door handles, lighting, etc.) feel cheap. I’m familiar with construction and renovations, and it’s clear corners were cut to achieve a certain look at the lowest cost.

Insulation is also an issue. In my bedroom, near the AC unit, there’s constant airflow like a window is open. This makes it harder to regulate temperature in both summer and winter. A previous super even admitted the unit was improperly fitted.

The smoking situation has been one of the biggest issues. Cigarette and weed smoke regularly enter my apartment to the point where it feels like I’m hotboxing my own space. I’ve raised this multiple times with management and staff and have gotten nowhere. At this point, I’m being forced to escalate to a city inspector.

Misleading claims:
The building advertises things like 24/7 concierge and parking, which are either inconsistent or not delivered as expected.

Overall, this building falls far short of what it claims to be. Right now, it feels like a poorly executed attempt at luxury rather than the real thing.

Would not recommend.
I genuinely wish I had stayed at my previous apartment. Read More
