- Subject of a dedicated 2025 'worst building' Reddit thread: residents report valet-only parking, guest amenity fees, a split/transfer elevator design requiring a mid-tower change, echoey narrow layouts, and recurring leaks
- The same thread credits exceptional views, balconies, and a 'world class' gym - a building where the amenity sheet and the daily experience diverge
