Renter Q&A

Is that true they changed management recently? How's the new one?

Over 3 years ago

Silverstein Properties LLC remains the current management since December 2021 when building was sold and metroloft (prior management left) although something seems like metroloft and the former owner Nathan Berman actually are still majority owners of the property when looking on open records available by FOIL Request or going to view accessible records that are public information
