Absolutely love it here
Former Tenant
Pros:
The most convenient location in Brooklyn, close to public transportation, amazing staff, thick walls so no noise from neighbors, double pained windows so almost zero screen noise, also reflecting windows so no one can see into your apartment from the street, stunning views, rent controlled so no surprises when renewing your lease, beautiful views in the gym and rooftop.
Cons:
The lobby and lounge aren’t as nice as the rest of the building, they also stop landscaping the roof very early in the summer so it looks overgrown from August through May, also no padding on the roof furniture so you have to bring your own.
Advice to owner:
Please add a few more landscaping sessions late summer so people can enjoy the roof.

Amazing Staff and Great Location
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are really great - from cleaning staff to doormen. The building has the nicest finishes of any rental building in the area.

Gym has amazing view but not the best equipment. Resident lounge is small. I also saw a mouse in my higher floor unit.
Advice to owner:
Keep up the great work

Great building and responsive management
Former Tenant
Pros:
Apartments are really solid for rentals. I would consider them to be condo grade. Windows are pretty well insulated as are the units. It's pretty rare for me to hear my neighbors from within my unit, even if I can hear them when I'm in the hallway (e.g playing music, talking, etc). Building staff is incredible and very responsive. I really enjoy living here.
Cons:
It's a pretty busy area of Fort Greene which has it's pros and cons.

Former Tenant

The building is immaculate. The amenities (gym, rooftop, common areas) are luxe and well worth paying for. Conveniently located above Whole Foods market

Luxury Living in Fort Greene
Former Tenant
Pros:
This is a luxury building with great amenities. The doormen are so nice and units are well insulated, we rarely hear any noise from the outside. They have full service mailing downstairs so if I ever have to ship a box I can drop it off to be picked up without needing to step outside.
Cons:
Trash shoot is broken sometimes.
Advice to owner:
Set rent at a more affordable rate.
