I've lived here for a week and I really like the buidling so far. The staff is nice and friendly and the apartments are quiet. Residents seem to be happy. Happy I moved.

Walls are thing and the shades let in so much light. But the place and amenities and location are great.
View from the roof is unmatched and I love being able to walk to so many places from the Mall to the metro to the restaurants and bars. Not a lot of kitchen space, however.

Ty has been fantastic throughout this whole transition. Ty is understanding, patient with my fifty thousand questions I had. He made sure my family and I were happy with the unit we now reside in. The leasing stuff has been so amazing and I appreciate them so much for everything.
