Nice Building Overall
Pros
Great amenities (gym, rooftop, lounge) and staff. Beautiful architecture that blends old and new very well. There are many double-height ceiling apartments, which are really lovely. Any issues were taken care of pretty promptly by the on-site super. I was overall satisfied with their resolutions for issues (e.g., the dryer would not turn on at one point, and I received a brand new dryer within 24 hours).
Cons
The downsides are that construction clearly cut corners while gutting and rebuilding. There were several leaks in the apartment that were seemingly the result of wider structural issues. Also, the walls are a bit thinner than usual, which means you can often hear your neighbors.
