Solitair Brickell Apartments

Way too expensive for the lack of care put into this place. Large problems last weeks if not months. Hot water issues. Average two elevators working for 50 floors.

Jamie is the best

I would like to share my experience with Jamie exceptional service in helping me move in quickly and efficiently. Jamie was able to complete the entire process in just 4 days, which was impressive. Her dedication and efficiency are truly commendable. Having lived in other places before, I can confidently say that the experience of living here has been great. The location is fantastic, with everything from restaurants to shopping and grocery stores conveniently nearby. If you ever need assistance, I highly recommend reaching out to Jamie for help. Thank you, Jamie!

I toured this apartment complex with my clients. Jamie was amazing from the leasing office. She explained all the details and was very attentive. Everyone in the building or in the elevator that we would encounter would always greet her. That is a great sign! Such a pleasant experience. Thank you Jamie! See you soon

I brought my clients here this week and toured with Jamie. I also reside HERE! The location of this building is ideal! The publix is so convenient. We shop there everyday… One of my favorites is  waking up in the morning and enjoying my morning workout. Having the choice to see the sunrise from the amenity deck or from my balcony is the BEST! One of my favorite is being able to tan in the pool to unwind. 😎 Jamie is an awesome person and a true professional. I highly recommend working with Jamie and Solitair.

I want to give an honest review after living in this building. PROS
- Location / proximity to Brickell City Centre
CONS
BUILDING:
- Incompetent management that is incapable of solving a single issue in the building
- The building had NO HOT WATER for 3+ weeks; meaning residents were left to take ice cold showers for almost a month. The management kept saying it was fixed and the next day they would send an email that it was broken again. They continued to claim that they would take care of the residents but they never did anything for anyone. Zero compensation despite not providing BASIC necessities. They threw a building party in the common areas in hopes that would make up for everyone’s stress, it was an absolute and total joke.
- If you email management, expect a response no sooner than in 2-4 weeks. On top of that, I often would never receive a response and would only get one after several follow up emails. To make matters worse, the responses are often that “this is out of our control and we have to defer to the corporate property management”. The management staff present in the building are simply for show.
- Dog park is DISGUSTING; residents never pick up their dogs poop, there is no consequence for doing so, and taking your dog here is an atrocious minefield of dog waste
- Elevators are hands down the SLOWEST AND THE WORST. They are constantly broken. It can take 20 minutes before the elevator arrives, and often when it does it is already packed like sardines and you have to sit and wait for an elevator you can squeeze into (90% of the time there are only TWO elevators working for all 50 floors of residents). There is one elevator that was down for the entirety of my time living here.
- The elevators are also out of code. There are plaques in each elevator showing the Miami-Dade County elevator certificate of compliance, and every elevator has a certificate that expired months ago. This is seriously concerning considering the risk to residents and elevator safety.
- You are charged extra ‘amenity fees’ when all of the amenities are horrible or not functioning. The grills were broken for months as well as the sauna. The gym is terrible and the pool is like a lap pool, it is narrow and small
- No option for assigned parking
- There are often homeless people sleeping in the loading dock of the building creating an uncomfortable space for residents walking through (the loading dock area is a shortcut to the side street that residents often use)
IN THE UNIT:
- The doors to the units are not soundproof and you can hear everything in the hallways. I constantly heard everything in the hallway such as dogs barking, elevator dings, conversations etc.
- The units are extremely small for the price; the 1 bedrooms might as well be a studio as they really aren’t big enough for more than 1 person
- The balconies are extremely narrow and you realistically cannot put any furniture on it
- Appliances were constantly breaking; fridge was always leaking. On top of this when maintenance did come to fix issues they did not speak English and I could not communicate with them.
- Blinds were constantly breaking and there are NO BLACKOUT BLINDS. You will be up every morning as soon as the sun is up.
- Water pressure in the shower is terrible
- If you live on the north side of the building, prepare to constantly hear the noise from the 8th Street Bar. As well as construction noise and traffic noise; there are people revving their engines
- Packages are delivered to your door (there is not a package room) so packages are often stolen. Also multiple times my packages were delivered to the wrong door and I had to walk around my hallway looking for my missing packages.

---------------- For two years, I've been residing in this  building. The top-notch management team, Gabriela, Jamie, and Jovens, are the best management team ever.
The building provides superb amenities and  renovations to stay modern - recently, the 10th and 50th floors they replaced the whole furniture. The level of cleanliness maintained is impressive, ensuring a pleasant living environment daily.
Overall, there's no better place in Brickell  at least for me. Excellent management and high living standards, I highly recommend it for an outstanding city living experience, I am definitely staying for more years.

If you prefer to live in a building where the hot water doesn't work, then this is the place for you.

No hot water right now on 01/24/2024. There is no hot water every other morning in January. --
Only one elevator out of 4 is working right now. There is total collapse, waited 25 min to get to my apartment. For some reason, it is an impossible task for the management to make elevators work. I have never seen anything like that in any other building where I lived.
