I lived here for a year in 2023 and it was a mixed experience. Moving in and out — Enrique and the front desk staff were always helpful and courteous.
Security — I always felt safe in and around the building. Security did regular rounds in and around the building at night.
Apartment — I had a beautiful skyline view, with beautiful sunsets. That said, the building and apartment had a huge humidity problem, with humidity machines on 24/7 in the hallway the entire time I lived there. Maintenance tried to convince me that the reason my apartment never cooled properly and felt humid is because I had floor-to-ceiling windows in a West-facing apartment. (I’ve had the same setup elsewhere with no issues.) This led to mold in my bathroom. The shower also took 5-7 minutes of run time to get warm. Maintenance told me there was nothing they could do about that.
Maintenance — They were pretty quick in responding to requests. Unfortunately, I’m not fluent in Spanish so communicating with staff when in the apartment was difficult. I also had maintenance enter my apartment several times without my approval, without prior notice for non-emergent matters. Their excuse is that I didn’t answer their knocking quickly enough, but that’s usually because I’d be showering, or on the balcony, or getting dressed. As a young woman, this made me feel unsafe and I voiced it to the head of that team who apologized.
Noise — No noise issues from neighbors, living on the 10th floor, but the street noise was awful since I faced 37th and west flagler — constant honking early morning and late afternoons. I could also hear cars passing by from my bathroom vent, which my architect friend noted was strange. The noise was a major reason why I moved.
Facilities — pool, common areas and hallways were mostly clean except for elevators. Those were often dirty, not as clean they should’ve been.
Parking — no guest parking but there’s a ton of PaybyPhone options surrounding the building.
