Great apartment size, great amenties, bad neighbors
Former Tenant
Pros:
loads of light, nice size, great location
Cons:
super busy, revolving door of people, neighbors that loiter around the entrance
Advice to owner:
If there were better tenants in the building this would be a great place to live
6 months ago
Overall, nice place to live!
Former Tenant
Pros:
Management team is responsive to maintenance requests, beautiful view and amenities.
Cons:
Many residents don't adhere to the non-smoking policy. Some floors worse than others but smoke frequently travels through vents. Added cost for amenities and pool (+ guest limits), no leg machine in gym

Good building, some drawbacks
Former Tenant
Pros:
New clean building, well done apartments, a lot of very nice accessible amenities
Cons:
Generally people congregate at all times between the two towers, far from subway access, loud summer wedding venue up street which you can hear

Best building to live
Former Tenant
Pros:
Mgmt was amazing and responsive
Cons:
Rent went up but living in other buildings, I wish I never moved
Over 1 year ago
Mostly good, but expensive
Former Tenant
Pros:
New, nice building and appliances.
Cons:
Building slow to respond with some issues (dryer not working, shades).
Advice to owner:
Change out the dryers you put in every unit, they don't work well. Get dark shades. It's a new glass building on the water. It is sunny AF.

Nice view, terrible experience due to thin walls, obnoxious neighbor and managem
Former Tenant
Pros:
Views, pool, lobby and package facility employees are great
Cons:
Thin walls, obnoxious neighbor playing music at 3am and not caring when confronted (cussing drunk in the hallway, saying he didn’t give a f** about other neighbors). Spoke to management in several occasions, they were useless. Proposing to cover the wall in insulating panels instead of helping to speak with the neighbor. Separately, police is in the building lobby every week for one issue or another

Excellent building with room to improve
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great views with really welcoming front desk staff
Cons:
Gym management is miserable and takes it out on tenants.
Advice to owner:
Fire the company that runs the gym and pool. I’m sure there are many other companies in the city that do a better job of creating a welcoming environment.

Impersonal, young, aesthetically pleasing, expensive – aka very Williamsburg
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Very nice-looking building and finishes - Nice appliances - Pretty epic view - Lots of communal space
Cons:
- Small, expensive apartments - Additional fee for amenities, which causes a weird divide between residents who pay and those who don't and an awkward and intense policing of spaces by staff (by the way, I am saying this as someone who did have access to the amenities) - Windows were thick with grime for most of my time there, making it hard to see the beautiful view - Can only get packages when package room is open (Monday – Friday until 7 pm/Saturday until 2 pm/closed Sunday) - No sense of community, neighbors aren't very friendly - Party building - roof is always full, lots of garbage, furniture stained, loud music at night - Far from subways - Pool is small, and freezing cold!
Advice to owner:
- Give everyone access to the amenities, don't force staff to police - Create more of a sense of community with staff and between residents - I think this would help with curbing the IDGAF attitude and poor etiquette from the people who live in the building

New, clean, plenty of amenities
Former Tenant
Pros:
The building is great, neighbors and guests are respectful. Plenty of pets and common areas. Waterfront living. The area is great and everything is modern and clean for the most part.
Cons:
Maybe the fact that there are too many people in the building. Can get busy. Easy to make friends if you’re more of a social person, but a lot of people can be snobby. A lot of people also Airbnb their apartments so you’re constantly seeing new faces come in an out. So, it’s hard to ever harness a real sense of community. A lot of parties and can feel like a dorm at times. A lot of people have problems getting help from maintenance and getting responses from management. I’m pretty handy so if anything goes wrong I just fix it. The one time my thermostat wasn’t working I requested help and maintenance fixed it immediately. Maybe I’ve gotten lucky.

Feels like living in a cheap apartment
Former Tenant

Would not recommend
Former Tenant
Pros:
Great location. New building. Good amenities

Building management sucks. Drug dealers live in the building. Management has no answers to deal with constant smoke, noise and strangers who come and leave at will.
Advice to owner:
Vet the tenants

Beautiful Building But Sloopy Matinence & Poor Management
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Building is gorgeous with great amenities - Location and views are incredible - Neighbors are friendly & super social - Front desk staff are super helpful
Cons:
- Clearly cut corners in the building process - stuff breaks down from time to time + tons of pluming issues - Building management is not at all responsive and when you do finally reach them they are dismissive - Amenity rules are very restrictive. Makes it difficult to use them or share them with friends.
Advice to owner:
- Take time to actually listen to the concerns of tenants - That building management be more responsive and friendlier in their comms - Make amenity rule more flexible and less restrictive. They are a huge reason we pay what we do to live here. - Address important infrastructure issues especially around plumbing. An apartment flooding with sewage water is absolutely unacceptable.

No Mask policy
Former Tenant
