    Luxury College Dorm

    I moved here from out of state for two years, from 2023-2025. Within the two years, they changed management three times and it got worse everytime. Despite the historic building, it's a modern building with paper-thin walls and management you can't get ahold of.

    This was sold to me as a luxury building for young professionals and as a young post grad, I appreciated. After I moved in, I realized with all the colleges downtown this was just a luxury college dorm for kids who moved off campus and
    for someone who worked hybrid, that was not OK.

    The underground parking has exposed pipes that leak chemicals that eat through the paint on your car, ruining it and since it's Secure Park and not the apartment's property, they won't do anything about it. Residents pay a monthly fee for parking, but for any concert/game/event at Fiserv, Secure would sell out the garage, kicking out residents who live there since there is no assigned parking- you would have to plan when to leave your apartment around any event to avoid the chaos.

    Half of the units have a view of inside other units, so you are looking directly inside someone's apartment. There is no privacy unless you put up your own privacy film and in the winter, it is even darker than usual since your view is a wall with no sunlight. There were no window cleaners in the two years I was there- a bird pooped on my window a month after I moved in and it stayed there my whole lease.

    If you want to live downtown, there are better options.
