    Review Summary for The Brooklyner
    Summarized from anonymous rental reviews on openigloo.
    Tenant reviews of 111 Lawrence Street highlight spacious apartments with impressive city views, a well-equipped gym, and responsive front desk staff. The building scores well for cleanliness, quiet living, and effective pest control, with residents appreciating the doormen and nice common areas like rooftop decks. However, some mention frequent elevator issues causing wait times, occasional maintenance delays, and old apartment finishes. Heating and cooling can be inconsistent, and recent rent hikes and fees have caused concern for some renters. The neighborhood has mixed reviews, described as convenient but occasionally sketchy. Overall, the building appeals to those valuing amenities, space, and attentive staff.

    Good value building in a convenient neighborhood
    Former Tenant
    Pros:
    Compared to other high rises in the area, this building is well priced for everything you get: large units, great views/natural light, doorman, and gym. The gym has everything I need for my workout.
    Cons:
    There were multiple times where half of the elevators were down causing a lot of traffic. With the building being 50 floors, this caused long wait periods. However it has been resolved.
