I agree with the recent comments. Prices have skyrocketed and the general quality of the building has deteriorated with the new management. I could say a lot, but there are a few things that any potential new resident should know. 1. The elevators. I cannot remember the last time I had three functioning elevators in my tower. Most of the time we are down to one elevator (in a 15-floor building). Living on an upper level, this has caused me to be late for work more than a few times. In sum, this [very expensive] building lacks basic infrastructure. I also confirmed this morning that the certificate of operation in the working elevator expired in 2022. So, there appears to be a safety issue and/or code violation as well. 2. The parking. After your lengthy elevator ride, you park in the garage across the street where you must take another [usually non-functioning] elevator to your assigned spot. Starting this month, residents were kicked off of floors 3 and 4 and banished to the roof. What's more, they raised the price from $125 to $200 per month. Level 5 is semi-covered, but I got stuck with a spot on 6 (and the price is $200 regardless). It's full open-air roof up there, not ideal for Miami summer and the rainy season. So, factor this into your expenses if you need a car. Also, factor in the inconvenience (just wait for your first big grocery run). I'll also mention short-term rentals. It's not supposed to happen, but it does all the time. None of these vacationers have ever bothered me so its not a sticking point but I include it for informational purposes. Overall, the building makes a great vacation spot. But, it leaves a lot to be desired in terms of convenience and functionality for a working person.
