Review Summary for 40 Harrison Street
Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
Recent reviews of 40 Harrison Street in Manhattan reveal a mixed tenant experience. The building boasts a prime Tribeca location, spacious units often with balconies, strong water pressure, and friendly doormen and maintenance staff who provide helpful service. Noise levels are generally low, and neighbors are regarded as good. However, cleanliness and pest control issues are noted in some units, and hallways can appear dingy. Heating systems vary in reliability. A predominant concern involves management's responsiveness, professionalism, and significant rent increases, leading to frustration among long-term tenants. Despite attractive amenities, potential renters should weigh these management and cost considerations carefully.

Avoid Independence Plaza & Stellar Management at All Costs
Former Tenant
Pros:
Location was great and balcony’s are a nice option on the multiple bedroom units.
Cons:
After two years as a tenant at Independence Plaza in Tribeca, I can confidently say these buildings are not worth the sky-high rent or the constant headaches—largely thanks to the appalling behavior of Stellar Management Leasing staff, specifically Sheri Ramirez.

When my household explored moving to another apartment within the same building, we were met with unprofessionalism that went far beyond typical NYC leasing frustrations. April and Sheri were dismissive, evasive, and repeatedly provided contradictory or misleading information. Their communication style was, at best, careless, and at worst, deliberately obstructive. Instead of working with long-term tenants to find a fair solution, they seemed determined to make the process as difficult and unpleasant as possible.

It is mind-boggling to witness such a lack of courtesy toward residents who have been paying steep rent here for years. Details were omitted or spun to fit whatever narrative suited them in the moment. The result? Wasted time, unnecessary stress, and a stark reminder that Stellar Management prioritizes profit over even the most basic tenant respect.

The location in Tribeca might be appealing, but if you value honesty, professionalism, or even basic decency from building management, you should seriously reconsider. There are far better-run buildings in the neighborhood that won’t treat loyal tenants as disposable inconveniences.
