The first year at southgate towers was good. The second year with construction going on and toxic construction dust everywhere meant I had to buy a $300.00 air cleaner to be able to breath. Debris was polluting the bay from the project. It was hell. Then they closed down the South tower and kicked all of us out of that building with 90 days notice and refused to honor our leases. My lease was not honored. I had 2 months left on my lease and was only compensated for $800.00 for them canceling my lease. They should have paid off our leases. I paid an attorney who confirmed that what Gumenick Corp did was illegal. Then they opened the new building and now a smaller junior one bedroom which was smaller than my apartment was $500.00 a month more. They also charged me pet fees for one of my two dogs that is a service dog. The worst thing was that between year 1&2 living there in the construction hell--they raised my rent!!! No pool, crappy amenities due to construction. Then I found out they were renting units on higher floors to new renters at lower rent than I was paying. This is not the way to treat others. Shame on the owners of SOUTHGATE towers. You made what started out as a great experience into a horrible experience and lied to tenants every step of the way. Think twice before you rent from Southgate towers. If you can put up with construction noise, toxic dust and can deal with dishonest management and staff---good luck to you. I will never live there as there are much better places to live on the beach.
