I just read the last review and wanted to offer a few thoughts.
1. The location is great: Easy access to the highway, subway, bus lines, grocery store in building and within several blocks, Mag Mile shopping.
2. Facilities: "Resort-style living" its not, unless we are talking about that run-down resort which was popular six years ago! The Fitness facility is a perfect example. While I'm sure it was in great shape when the building opened several years back, the well worn cardio equipment and TV's are just (in the past week) starting (would have been nice if more than just a few new treadmills were added)to be replaced. The "high-speed T1" line is a common connection shared with all your closest buddies in two towers (see how fast that is when everyone gets home at night or on the weekend).
3. Parking: Leased to a third-party, while unreserved is reasonable for the location, ask what a reserved spot will run you. And just be careful you don't get run over by all the valet's who are practicing their NASCAR skills every night.
4. Management: Perhaps the biggest weakness of this complex. Now in fairness, a new owner has purchased the tower, and a new management company might have been brought in, but to date, I haven't noticed a whole lot of improvement.
5. Noise: This is city living at its best, so expect to hear the nearby Fire department going out several times a night, the drunks/tourists yelling at all hours of the evening, and the cabbies/suburbanites blowing their horns. Note this is not a complaint about the building, but a fact of living in the center of a major tourist downtown neighborhood, so just expect it.
