I have lived in this building for 15 years, and my experience has been very positive. Regarding the other reviewer complaining about roaches, it is unfortunate that she painted a picture that does not reflect the overall qualities of the building and its current management. The previous manager did not adequately address pest control, which was a problem. However, the current manager has implemented a mandatory monthly pest control sweep of all apartments. I am happy to report that I haven’t seen a roach since the new manager took over.
The building offers a long list of amenities, including ample resident parking, close proximity to the beach, and a gym with state-of-the-art equipment—features you won’t find at this price point anywhere else in Fort Lauderdale, especially downtown. I am also pleased with the improvements being made by the new owners and management.
Some highlights include the floor-to-ceiling impact-resistant windows and sliding door in the living room, which provide excellent soundproofing, as well as the spacious one-bedroom apartments that comfortably accommodate a king-sized bed. The steel front apartment doors make living here feel very safe, and each unit is equipped with a built-in fire sprinkler system for added peace of mind.
While the building could use a refresh with new paint and similar updates, I feel confident that the new management will address these issues in a timely manner.
Overall, this is a quality building with great amenities, proactive new management, and a central downtown location. I feel safe here and am happy to call Eclipse my home.
