Resident 2011 - 2013

6/3/2013

My husband and I moved to Onterie Center two years ago. We live on the loft side. Pro The loft is spacious Nice location Cons The first yr we had maintenance come to our loft with problems close to 6-7 times. Construction going on in the parking garage has been a huge headache with little to no notification of the LOUD drilling and jack hammering prior to it happening (they usually notify residents the night before around 10pm via a flyer in the elevator...). While I am completely understanding of the need for new renovations that need to be made to such an old parking garage, I do not understand the hours of operation for construction. M-F 8-6pm, I'm okay with. Saturday, are unacceptable when you pay the amount we pay for our loft. The noise of the construction is VERY LOUD...sleeping in/relaxing on a Saturday will not happen and if you're a student/medical resident studying in your own apt is not a option. Residents are forced to leave their homes which I think is absolutely ridiculous! Noise in a city setting is inevitable however the irritating, annoying, nuisance type of noise should be limited to NORMAL working hours. *Response from GM (view all below)--"Regarding Saturday work, it was virtually impossible to develop a schedule that worked well for everyone with two different ?tenant? bases in the building (commercial tenants who are in the building primarily during business hours, and residential tenants who generally spend the majority of their time in the building after business hours and on the weekends). Given the sensitive nature of the work conducted by some of our commercial tenants, it was imperative that the original Monday - Friday schedule be modified to provide a couple of quiet work days during the week. To accommodate that modification, Saturdays had to be added to the schedule. If Saturdays were not added, the project would have dragged on for several additional months, which no one in the building wanted." I get it, I really do..however the fact remains that it has been a painful few months living here. For the amount you pay at Onterie, it's just not worth it. Here are some better options in the Streeterville area. I know people who live in many of these place and have little to no complaints. http://www.rmk.com/mcclurg/ http://www.cityfrontchicago.com/ http://www.420aptschicago.com/chicago-il-apartments.asp http://streeterplace.com/ http://www.lakeshoreplaza.com/
