  • Expect noise, rude neighbors and no support

    January 26, 2020
    The leasing office will tell you that only certain floors allow pets. However, if you are dishonest you can get away with a pet and not have to pay. I’m on a floor that doesn’t allow pets. My loud neighbor has a barking dog. “And how can this be?” you ask. Well, after I asked why he’s allowed a barking dog, I found out (after contacting the office many times) that he has an “emotional support” dog. No proof needs to be provided. So, bring your pets to any floor, lie to management because ...
    they wont check and you won’t pay the pet fees. If you get caught, just claim the dog was a gift from a family member and is an emotional support animal. My loud neighbor gets away with it. The office has no interest is supporting the honest tenants.

Our policy for service animals is in alignment with Fair Housing laws, and we're unable to share private information about any resident. However, we can certainly address any noise concerns you may be encountering and suggest that you contact the Management Office so that we may work to resolve this particular issue.

    August 15, 2015
    Have been a resident for six years and enjoy everything about the place. Excellent downtown location, fantastic amenities, connected to the led way system and well managed. Add a local public/private park, a high-end Mariano's supermarket and restaurants and it has to be amongst the best locations in Chicago. High cost per square footage but includes basic cable, electricity, water and gas and all the pluses. Can't go wrong. Can look for availability through rental management company and ...
