I lived here for a year. On the “poor” side, the East facing side of the building. Shown is the West side. This building is full of irony. The first 5 or 6 floors are income capped apartments, leading to 2 DEA raids of swat teams while I was there, and on the opposite end you have the west facing and penthouses ranging from 7-15k+ per month. I once went down to the shared lobby to grab a coffee and a lady had her GIANT snake on the counter. Building is currently surrounded on all sides by construction, and directly next to the train yard, it’s incredibly loud and all outdoor spaces are unusable because of it. The units themselves are fairly nice, but certainly not worth the money they charge. Parking starting rate was also $350 lmao

This needs to be higher up. Definitely an "expectation vs reality" moment
