Pros:
I have lived here for almost a year and I have seen people leave consistently after their one year lease is done, as will I, due to the negative experiences of constant construction in the building. That said, all the communal amenities are newly renovated, the interior design is stunning and beautiful. The 360 views rooftop is absolutely gorgeous— my favorite part of the building. The gym is decent and plays good music and the study room area is nice for when there is a lot of construction noise and I have a business call to hop on. Although there is a cafe, it’s not the best quality. And the outdoor park is public until sunset so sometimes homeless people are there (although they are nonthreatening and keep to themselves). The doormen are great and management also tries to do events for the residents every now and then. Lastly Anagram Nomad is located in a fantastic location for subways, stores, restaurants, etc.
Cons:
Because it is a new building and they are actively building amenities and renovating apartments, there is constant construction so much that dust seeps under the door into my apartment as apartments above me, neighboring me, under me, and the hallways undergo construction. There is constant drilling and hammering from as early as 8 in the morning until evening which is really annoying especially if you work from home. We asked before we moved in when construction would stop and they told us 2-3 months. It is 10/11 months later. Additionally, there is 0 drawer space in the kitchen. There are cupboards but no drawers. And the oven and microwave are in one appliance. No fan in the bathroom either so mold was forming on our ceiling from showers 3 months into moving. Sometimes dust, mold, and flies come through the vent in our bathroom too. Hello Alfred is nice but overpriced. The gym has a rock climbing wall but no one has been allowed to use it so I think it’s just for show. Overall, I will be moving out because I don’t believe paying almost 7k a month for this is worth it.
Advice to owner:
Communicate with residents more, be more candid about the developments. Rent is too expensive too.
