I've been gone from the PE Lofts for a while now and I can't say I miss it at all. Most of the reviews on this site are pretty accurate. Things started off well enough but quickly deteriorated. This place seems a lot like a college dorm and there are a lot of students who live there. Unfortunately, that creates a bit of a party atmosphere with the students inviting all their friends to hang out on the roof. Most of the amenities are overrun with these people. If it's not the student partiers, then it's the film crews. The owner of the building is constantly renting it out to film shoots, as if he's not making enough money off the tenants. So it is extremely common to find the pool, library, or lounge to be closed to residents due to this. And there is no compensation to the residents who are inconvenienced by noisy crews right outside their door for days or weeks on end.
The building is beautiful and would be a wonderful place to live if not for the uncaring owner and unresponsive management. There are plenty of places to live downtown, there's no reason to settle for this one.

In the last 2 years, there have been 4, that's right, 4 movies shot inside the building. That is definately not the definition of "constantly." AND, while yes, they've been loud sometimes and have used small areas of the common areas for lighting, etc., all of them have been filmed in the ballroom which is away from most of the units.

so i guess those of us who happened to live in a unit right next to the filming don't matter? there have been PLENTY more than 4, i guess since you are not right next to it like we were you wouldn't know or care about that!
