  Lived here for 4 months on a sub-lease and I dodged a bullet by not extending. The PE group that owns it will nickel and dime you for everything. I lived literally 12 feet from the trash closet, which was between my door and the elevator, and still had to pay $25/month for trash pickup. This is a complete racket, and I’d love to see the financial arrangement they have with Trash Fairies. Refused to refund the entire deposit when I moved out, after telling me I just needed to shampoo the floor to ensure I got the whole thing back. Nope, more lies, and completely unnecessary, as I left the place flawless. I’m not sure when not refunding the entire deposit became the norm, but it’s not ok when I uphold my side of the bargain. I agree completely with the review about the “free mimosas.” Just take a few bucks off the rent instead. Free chick-fil-a breakfast every few months, but for those of that have to work before 9, tough luck. And don’t get me started on parking, as it’s another money grab. And the tow companies are constantly on the prowl in the lot. Lastly, it’s a concrete jungle, FFS, plant a few trees on the property.

  Visited our son, who lives there. Well done on the conversion to apartment and studio living. Close to great eating and drinking establishments.

  Parking: Beyond capacity. They offer reserved spots to purchase, but they're all taken up. I often park on the street, especially if it's past 7p. Also, forget about finding parking if the Veil is having it's Tuesday beer release. The preserve does not enforce towing on violators. Leasing office: They're nice and helpful. Mail/Package Delivery: Regular postage is fine and will always make it to your mailbox. For packages, give the driver instructions for using the call box to leave by your mailbox. The leasing office will hold packages for you if a signature is required. Overall building: It's nice, very cool that it's the old Coke bottling factory. The common room is great and even has an old turn table for music. The second, recently built, expansion building is a typical apt complex, with a modern look inside. Cleaning services: The cleaning service does a good job of taking care of the common areas and hallways. Trash: They offer valet trash pickup, which is nice. However, if you need to take your trash to the chute, it's another story. A lot of the time people leave their garbage bags in the trash room. I've seen it so piled up, you couldn't enter on any floor. Sometimes this is because the trash chute itself is backed all the way up multiple floors! Perhaps it's time to call the city and arrange a more frequent pickup schedule. Bike Storage: Over capacity. Plan to keep your bike in your apt. Snow Removal: The recent snow storm left the parking lot an ice skating rink. It looks like they had a truck come an plow at some point, but all they did was push a bit of snow into parking spaces (which are in high demand), and didn't treat anything with salt. The result, fewer parking spaces and the entire lot is a black ice death trap. I realize these issues are first world problems, but things like sanitation and the black ice parking lot are serious.
