I've lived here for a bit over a year and I'm going to do my best to provide an honest review with the things I liked and disliked about this building, and ultimately why I will be moving very soon once my lease is up. 80% of the reviews here are spam messages talking about the employees (which I'm assuming management is encouraging in order to distort the google ratings), so here's my attempt at an honest review. Starting with the good:
- The units are nice with new appliances. I like the floor to ceiling windows and the view (as long as you’re facing the river)
- The pool/amenity deck is very nice as well.
- I always saw the cleaning/maintenance team doing their best to keep up on the community’s cleanliness and appearance.
- Living next to a Publix and other shops is incredibly convenient.
- Easy freeway access and proximity to Brickell, downtown, Wynwood, etc.
- I didn’t deal with too much noise from neighbors; most would come from the hallway. I’ve had the pleasure of living with thinner walls in other buildings - and I say this having lived next to noisy neighbors here.
- Elevators can get slow at peak times, but they were generally reliable.
And now onto the cons:
- By far, the absolute biggest con for me was the parking situation. There is NO guest parking and the parking fee for any stay 8+ hours is $80. Yes, $80 a day. It's absolute insanity and ridiculously greedy. The only way to get around it is buying another monthly pass which I was quoted at ~$200/month (if you have a significant other/regular visitor like I did). I’m hoping management will read this and see how their greed is driving a tenant out. They’ll tell you it’s because another company owns the garage, but that doesn’t prevent other complexes from negotiating guest passes for their tenants. They obviously just don’t care.
- Resident parking isn’t good, either. If you have a studio or 1 bed (like I did) you have to park on the 12th floor. Entering/exiting is a chore every time you want to leave.
- For some unknown reason you can only enter the resident elevators from the basement floor (parking), first floor, or 12th floor (parking). Say I'm on the 8th floor of the mall and I also live on the 8th floor. While I can exit my unit and walk out on that level, I can not enter. The door will lock behind you and the fob won't work. You're instead forced to go all the way down to level 1, enter the resident elevator lobby, and take it up to level 8. It makes absolutely no sense.
- While the river views are nice, if you have a view facing the opposite direction, you get to look at Allapattah and a jail.
- The price partially reflects this, but the area is not that nice. Besides the mall this complex is connected to, there isn’t anything nice/walkable nearby. If you start walking north, you’re in the hood fast. You’ll have to drive to any trendy neighborhoods.
- The traffic along the road to enter/exit the complex can get pretty bad, especially with the awful Miami drivers visiting the mall. They’re building another high rise across the street so I already know it’s about to get a lot worse.
- Continuing on the point of traffic: The bridge. On both sides of the complex there is a bridge that consistently creates horrible traffic whenever a boat comes through. Sometimes on the weekend in the summer, it will go up for 10-15 minutes at a time.
- While I never had an issue with it, fetch is used for package delivery. Some people may not like this.
- Reaching the leasing office directly is a chore. Thankfully I didn’t need to much, but every time I’d call, it’s like I had to talk to a call center first before getting in contact with the actual building I live at.
Overall, despite my complaints, I would give it a 6/10; I generally enjoyed living here. The parking specifically ruins it, though, so please take that into account if you’re considering leasing here. As I said, I’ll be moving soon. The only thing left is to hope management doesn’t try cheating me out of my security deposit which seems to be very common practice in the Miami rental market.

Beautiful property

An incredible property, with excellent amenities, impressive views and a lot of security. Without a doubt it is an exquisite place to live 🤍🙏

The service provided by concierge Eduardo was so welcoming and amazing that I had to leave a review in. I first arrived to visit family a few days ago for the holidays and was welcomed by Eduardo from guiding us through sign in to the long elevator walk haha. Truly exceptional work and service!

I used to live at the corner units top floor  and BELIEVE me they are full of roaches . We are crazy extra clean and nothing can kill them tried everything possible  , I lived for 3 years the3 years people came to try to kill them but is INFESTED with small croackroaches  and they are everywhere in your bed and everywhere in the kitchen is inside the walls and no one can do anything anymore and that’s the thing that pissed me off the most bc when you move here you don’t know My friend that lives on the 14 th floor also have roaches . Please be aware before moving bc looks okay but then becomes a nightmare  and when people come to visit the roaches also comes out.
The walls are bad and have it inside also mold.
Despite this nightmare also the elevator situation sucks. And also weekends are the pool looks like south beach.
