If you work from home, or enjoy sleeping past 4 am. GOODLUCK. Constant fire alarms going on throughout the day and night that last 10 minutes at a time. Goodluck trying to join meetings or get any work done. In the past week the fire alarm has gone off between 3 and 4am maybe 5 times. Ontop of that, expect it to go on 3 times an hour from 8am-5pm. Garage gate was promised to be fixed. Instead it is left wide open, along with every door in the complex being unlocked and not requiring a key. Anyone can get into the complex and the fire alarms are driving residents crazy including myself.

Fire alarms go off at random hours of the night and went off over 20 times during the day today. The one person in the office said it was because the hallways floors are being painted a different shade of grey. I was told the alarms will continue to go off all day until they finish painting sometime maybe this week. I asked to speak to the property manager to see if they will stop painting until they've figured out the alarm. The one person in the office said she refused to call the property manager because she has been told to 'respect their day off'.

An awful place to live everything's broken dirty trash is everywhere and it's expensive

I advise all looking for an apartment in the Tampa area to avoid this building at all costs. By playing off the complex as “luxury living”, we assumed that there might be some degree of quality in the management and upkeep of the building. Upon arrival I realized this would not be the case. On my first day of move in, the front office tried to tell me that I arrived on the wrong day and that I was early. They continued to deny me until I showed them an email proving that this was not the case. After pointing this out, I was led to a disgusting room that had not been cleaned, in addition to a broken dryer and outlets that didn’t work on my very first night moving in. After spending about a month living in the building I found that: - Fire alarms that went off for hours at a time in the middle of the night, which occurred on a weekly basis, - Little to no security, as the gates and entry’s into the building were always open or unlocked - Severe cockroach and fruit fly infestation - Fruit flies were so bad that making food became impossible - Constant disgusting messes in the hallways that were never cleaned up - Massive piles of garbage in the garage that left an odor in the residences - Rude and unaccommodating staff In addition to these problems, there were a multitude of other inconveniences for residents which seemed to be customary. For the entire 8 months of living there, the elevator closest to our room did not work and was never repaired. Additionally, mail and packages would almost never arrive because of the repeated room number system between the two buildings, forcing us to coordinate with the residents in building 1, as they would receive our stuff and we would receive theirs. After letting the front office know about this issue, I was rudely sent off on multiple occasions by staff who had absolutely zero concern for the residents. I am missing a ton of other issues but these are the main things I recall from living here that are impossible to ignore. STAY AWAY !!!!

There is an extremely dangerous and unsanitary bug problem at this property. We have spoken to the management company on numerous occasions to fix the bug problem and our requests go unanswered. Hundreds of fruit flies appear in our apartment daily. The fruit flies are a result of an overflowing garbage room in Building 2. I'm sure there are other critters living in that garbage room besides fruit flies which manage to escape and enter apartments through the drains in the kitchen and bathroom. They are even in our fridge. We can't wait to move, the problem is the management company will not let us out of our lease and we have 3 more months to go.

Where do I get started? Fire alarms going off at 2 am until 4 am, fruit flies like never before, mold growing in the apartments, flickering lights in the gym, broken doors in the garage so you don’t have access to get tot your apartment, RUDE staff!!!!!! I had a maintenance issue and the maintenance gal with the short hair cut was so rude and disrespectful to my mom who was visiting and then I went downstairs to talk to management and they were all gossiping. That’s what you want to surround yourself with right? This is definitely not a place you want to live or your kids to live. Although the price is lower than others, it’s not even worth that. They will take your entire deposit also. don’t expect to get anything from them. good luck

Almost everything in the common areas are broken - coffee machine, 2/4 elevators (for months) door handles (you must reach INSIDE metal doors to open them), the grills, gym is 10 years out of date, trash builds up DAILY in the garage despite $40/month in trash fees and $25/month in "delivery" fees. College "students" running rampant like children breaking things and leaving trash strew everything. The elevators look like Section 8 housing. Because the outside facing doors don't lock, I've seen groups of men testing door handles late at night and there are issues with cars being broken into. The staff is very nice and great overall, but Cushman and Wakefield obviously don't care about anything but profit.

Everything is broken. No door handles. Trash everywhere. Management never responds. WAY over priced for what you get.
