One Miami Condominium - West Tower

Elevators constantly broken. We had to walk the stairs in the month of May 2022 due to inoperable elevators. Many times I have to plan an extra 30 minutes just to take the elevators. I don’t understand how in the year 2022 an elevator cannot be fixed or repaired fixing repairing the elevators in this building is becoming more challenging than solving cancer. Many times elevator buttons to specific floors are missing, sometimes elevators buttons get turned on by themselves on their own which take you to the wrong floors. Another issue is the elevator electronic display that should show you what floor the elevator is on at any moment doesn’t even illuminate if you ever get stuck in the elevator with an emergency good luck communicating to emergency personnel what floor the elevator is on this sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Another issue with elevator is that it shakes bounces and it just feels like the harness will snap one time I pressed the elevator to my floor took me to the wrong floor started bouncing the doors would not open I had to pry open the elevator doors with my hands exit the elevator and take stairs to my floor. I have never in my life encounter and seen so many elevator issues. In New York City they have large buildings that are older whether business or residential buildings yet they know how to fix repair and maintain their elevators. And no the elevators issues cannot be pinned on Covid as they have been occurring prior to Covid. Beyond elevator issues other issues include the gym closing at 8 pm who makes up such arbitrary rules? The amenities don’t always work such as the hot tub good luck turning that on and expecting it to work. The building also has policies against Airbnbs guests which is fine with me but yet you encounter many many Airbnb guests violating building policies which none enforces. Often times you have thug criminal looking Airbnb guests in pool area in hallways smoking weed and making loud noises. While some units in this building do have nice views I can also say those views are not worth the aggravation of having to live in this building in particular the elevator issues. Do yourself a favor and stay away from this building.

The elevators never work, It is a nightmare. I live here to be close to work but the elevators turn my 10 minute commute into a 30 minute commute.

DO NOT MOVE HERE!!! Today they made it so that you can't even have food delivered!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Previously you couldn't have it delivered to your door, which is obnoxious, but whatever. Now you can't even have food delivered to the FRONT DESK!!!! This means you have to physically wait for your driver in the front of the building. That is RIDICULOUS. They also have restricted the gym and pool to before 6-8 pm (depending on who's working). DO NOT MOVE HERE. THIS BUILDING IS TRASH

I have been living here for 2yrs and half, and I love this building! Pros: - Great location: close to the I-95, Whole Foods, CVS, Bayfront Park, American Airlines Arena, metro mover station... - Amazing bay view and enjoyable river-walk - I always feel safe in the condo, the parking garage is constantly checked by the security guys (who are also very respectful) - The staff in general is very polite and friendly - 4 elevator for 45 floors - Mail package reception: never had any problem with my packages, and they always send you an email and text message notifying you about a package arrival - Management office is always diligent and send email when there is an event near the area that could affect us and how to avoid it. Also, with this latest management love the notes they leave in the elevators greeting you every day, and during weekends they post about what events are occurring that you might be interest in attending (previous Covid-19 of course) - My neighbors are great, no big complains at all, very decent people. - A convenience store... and very convenient!! :) Cons: Nothing can be perfect ah? - When some events are placed in the Bayfront Park area... traffic is a mess and the street is blocked (but as resident you are allowed to pass) - The Aston Martin construction have the street as a completely mess, with bunch of uneven on the pavement - Although the building has 4 elevators, if one is out of service... the waiting time is for several minutes - Since the pool is surrounded by the 2 towers and the Intercontinental hotel, the sunlight reaches it for a short time - The gym is split into two: cardio is in one tower and the rest in the other (you just have to cross the pool). Overall I would say that the pros have more weight that the cons (for me has more importance the security, the management administration and the neighbors), and I totally recommend this building.
