Cookie cutter but generally positive experience
Former Tenant
Pros:
- The building is very new so there are rarely issues with the appliances or anything inside - Maintenance requests receive responses very quickly -- usually someone is there the day-of to help with your request - Door men are nice and helpful
Cons:
- Feels a little soulless -- none of the tenants really interact with each other ever - Weird vibes in the apartment gym -- people don't generally follow gym etiquette and I've seen multiple instances of random PDA

Good Building, Great In-house Staff
Former Tenant
Pros:
The in-house staff (concierge, porters) are all wonderful. Neighbors are usually pretty nice. Building is typically pretty quiet. Most facilities issues are addressed quickly.
Cons:
Building management can be abrasive. When I asked why there was a unit on my floor with the exact same layout and sq footage that was $200 cheaper per month, they couldn't give me an answer
Advice to owner:
Be willing to work with great tenants in regards to rent negotiation

QLIC building review
Former Tenant
Pros:
- Newly finished and nice looking apartment - Very good rent prices
Cons:
- They charge $50 every time you lock yourself out of your apt (auto locking) - The gym is quite small - Materials and finishes are low quality, easily stained. Hard to maintain cleanliness
No concessions on rent for loyal and long term residents, indifferent building manager, unethical former manager, poorly designed bathrooms with unnecessarily wide shallow sinks that consume most of the vanity leaving minimal counter space

Very, Very Quiet
Former Tenant
Pros:
The windows have heavily paned so you don't hear the nearby subway station, you don't hear much at all.
Cons:
It's a bit too quiet and easy to miss contact with the outside world.
Advice to owner:
Nothing that they aren't already doing.

Pleasant overall
Former Tenant
Pros:
The staff are all very friendly and awesome. Maintenance team is really great, they are responsive, friendly and very personable.
Cons:
Recently the management has begun enforcing silly restrictions on the pool where guests are not allowed. This is an unfair policy to single occupancy renters as they are paying the fees but unable to fully utilize the amenity.
Advice to owner:
Please revisit the pool policy.

Great experience for 2 years
Former Tenant
Pros:
Responsive management, nice apartments, great pool and gym. Great location next to several trains
Cons:
Next to the train so it is loud if you open the window. Northern exposure so not the warmest light. Neighborhood leaves something to be desired
