I have lived in Grand Tower since May of 2006 and have done so relatively without serious complaint. When my air conditioner broke during the summer, the maintenance team was unable to repair it on its own, so it called in a professional who repaired it quickly. It's a large building that shows its age in the walls and carpeting, but the maintenance team has responded to my needs just fine. You get awesome views near the top of the building and uncommonly spacious rooms, especially compared to the newer box-style apartments available down the street.

The pool closing for such a long time was annoying, and the end result is as out-dated as the initial layout. Also, having to share one set of washer and dryers on each floor causes some serious frustration. As for the tandem parking, I was informed of it before signing the lease, and, after a couple weeks of adjusting to the idea of having a permanent valet situation, I began to feel very safe and happy to have such a nice covered parking area for my car. So many people in this city are forced to park on the street, exposed to the elements and to crime. I like the secure feeling I get when I pass through the gate and park my car in my assigned spot, leaving my key in the valet key box. Of course, my situation may not be typical, as I walk across the street to work.

Overall, I recommend this building to anyone working downtown. Escaping the office for lunch at home once and a while can't be beat.
