I was one of the first 10 people to move into the building, studio on the 2nd floor at $944 a month. First the good about the place. Everything was new in the place which was nice, the doormen were always nice & helpful, its a nice location, I did get a free months rent once (though nobody from the staff told me in before hand). Now on with the bad. The price, $944 for a small studio is a joke. Very thin walls, people next door had a big dog that would bark 24/7. February 2004 my heater broke (on the coldest day of the year) & there was water/condensation over everything in my apartment. Took them almost 2 weeks to fix & when they did fix it they never told me it was fixed & I was just down the hall (they gave one of the many apartments that was empty to stay in while the repairs were being done). All in all it was a nice place to live if you don't mind noise, overpriced rent, & a staff thats not all there.

When I first signed the lease the guy (I forget who) said they were getting a Steakhouse restaurant in the building & he was going to live in the building. I never saw either of those things happen in my time there, in fact I only saw the guy once after I moved in.

That is hilarious. They told me that there was going to be a jazz club put in there. Two years later, nothing. Obviosly, nothing is ever going to be put in there. It makes no sense for a restaurant or bar to be placed in that location with no sign coverage and the area is dead by 6pm.
