What residents have said
A resident on Reddit mentioned the convenient location and reasonable facilities.
During an inspection trip, try your usual routes and ask about arrangements for using shared facilities.
Building size and shared facilities
The building was completed in 2017 and has 633 homes.
Level 7 has outdoor green space, a pool, spa pool and sauna. Indoor shared facilities include a gym, private cinema, dining rooms, kitchens, lounges and karaoke spaces.
Record in-apartment equipment separately from shared facilities during an inspection, so a communal kitchen does not end up on the apartment’s appliance list.
Ask an adviser about current rents, availability, lease start dates and whether utilities and internet are included.
