THIS BUILDING LOOKS FANTASTIC FROM THE OUTSIDE BUT UPON STEPPING INSIDE YOU ARE GREETED WITH MISERABLE AND RUDE DOORMEN (EXCEPT FOR ONE) WHO NEVER OPEN DOORS FOR YOU, RARELY EVEN LOOK UP FROM THEIR DESKS TO MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH YOU, MAKE NO EFFORT TO SAY HELLO, AND EVEN GO AS FAR AS MAKING YOU FEEL SORRY AND BADLY WHEN THEY HAVE TO GET THE DOOR FOR YOU TO CARRY GROCERIES INSIDE. THIS IS ALL NOTHING COMPARED TO THE INCOMPETENCY YOU WILL ENCOUNTER WHEN DEALING WITH THE LEASING DEPARTMENT AND THE MANAGEMENT OFFICE. THE PEOPLE HAVE THEIR HEADS UP THEIR ASSES TO SAY THE LEAST. YOU WILL WALK INTO THEIR OFFICE AND NINE AND A HALF TIMES OUT OF TEN THEY WILL BE SURFING THE INTERNET OR CHATTING AND GOSSIPING ON THE PHONE (WHICH MAKES US FEEL GREAT THAT OUR INFLATED RENT PRICE IS GOING TOWARDS RESOURCEFUL EMPLOYEES) WHEN THEY DO FINALLY ADDRESS YOU IT WILL BE MIS-INFORMATION AND/OR LIES THAT THEY HOPE WILL LEAD YOU AROUND IN CIRCLES SO BADLY THAT YOU WILL GIVE UP ON YOUR PROBLEM AND CONCEED. NOBODY HAS ANY IDEA WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT AND EVERY QUESTION OR CONCERN NEEDS TO BE "INVESTIGATED" AND ANSWERED WITH A FOLLOW UP THAT TAKES DAYS. MAINTENANCE IS THE ONE SHINING STAR IN THE ENTIRE BUILDING. THEY ARE PROMPT AND VERY GOOD AT DOING WHAT THEY DO. IT IS BEST TO GO DIRECTLY TO THEM WITH PROBLEMS BECAUSE THEY RECTIFY THE SITUATION ASAP WHEREAS THE LEASING/MANAGEMENT DEPARTMENT WOULD TAKE DAYS. BEWARE OF FALSE PROMISES ON THE PART OF THE LEASING/MANAGEMENT OFFICE AS WELL. GET EVERYTHING, AND WE MEAN EVERYTHING IN WRITING BECAUSE THEY WILL TELL YOU ONE THING AND THEN LIE TO YOUR FACE AND CLAIM THEY NEVER SAID THAT AND TO PROVE IT.
IT ALSO REMINDS YOU OF LIVING IN A COLLEGE DORM WITH THE STRICT RULES AND REGULATIONS DIRECTED TOWARDS CHILDREN EVEN THOUGH IT IS AN UPSCALE OLDER COMMUNITY RESIDING IN THE BUILDING. POOL, FITNESS CENTER, OFFICE AND COMPUTER ROOM ALL ARE NOW ONLY OPEN FROM 7- TIL 10 AT NIGHT. THAT MEANS YOU CANT WORK OUT BEFORE WORK, OR LATE AT NIGHT WHEN THE GYM ISNT CRAMMED. AND IF YOU NEED TO PRINT OR COPY SOMETHING LATE AT NIGHT IN AN EMERGENCY- SORRY...GO TO KINKOS. WHAT IS THE MONEY FOR AND WHERE IS IT GOING WHEN YOU DONT HAVE ACCESS TO "AMENITIES" IN "YOUR" BUILDING WHEN YOU WANT THEM''' THERE IS ALSO NO ALCOHOL ALLOWED IN COMMON AREAS, WHICH INCLUDES THE SUN-DECK/BAR-B-Q AREA. SO IF YOU WANT TO COOK OUT, I HOPE YOURE MORMON. THEY FORCE YOU TO SUBSCRIBE TO RCN FOR CABLE, WHICH IN CASE YOU DONT KNOW IS ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC. AND ITS ANALOG... WHICH MEANS CABLE BOXES THAT LOOK LIKE THEYRE FROM THE 1970'S, NO DIGITAL CABLE NEVERMIND HDTV, AS WELL AS AWFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE. AND ALL FOR A WOPPING PRICE OF 60 DOLLARS A MONTH FOR BASIC (NO YOURE NOT READING INCORRECTLY) BASIC CABLE. PARKING IS ALSO A JOKE. OVER 200 DOLLARS PER MONTH FOR SPOTS THAT LEAVE YOU CRAMMED INTO SPACES SO TIGHT YOU CANT EVEN OPEN YOUR CAR DOORS FROM BOTH SIDES WHEN ITS ACTUALLY IN THE SPOT. THE REAL ASSKICKER THOUGH... MORE THAN HALF OF THE SPOTS IN THE STRUCTURE ARE EMPTY...ANYWAYS- MY SINCERE ADVICE FOR YOU IS TO SAVE YOUR MONEY AND TAKE IT ELSEWHERE- PREFERABLY RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER TO GRAND PLAZA.
