Wow apparently I am living in a completely different building!…read moreI have nothing positive to say about this building at all. It is mostly a mixture of lowlife renters and a few of a hardworking people that lost all their investment when the units were auctioned off by the developer for next to nothing. Management has switched hands numerous times and unfortunately they were all pretty unreliable and useless. There have been no rules for the past two and a half years except for what whoever was in charge felt like enforcing at the moment. The parking lot looks awful and needs to be resealed and striped, the carpets are pet-urine stained, the ceilings leak in a number of units, the walls are paper thin, the freight trains are extremely loud, the parking spaces are too small, and the hallways smell of either smoke or cheap air freshner. Worst of all...nobody has respect for anyone else in the building. Good luck trying to find someone to hold a door, return a cart, or say "hello." People also leave the workout room shirtless and have stolen weights in the past. I am extremelely disappointed in the building, the people in it, and the neighborhood. The park is filthy, filled with trash, and dangerous. The constant partying in the park during the summer months leaves no parking in front of the building. I have seen men urinating on trees from my balcony window! I wish I could move but I can't. There is no resale value because the building has been run down to the ground and units auctioned off for a fraction of original prices. I am actually embarassed to say I live here. Buyer beware (if there even are any!)

I agree with you 100% Jennifer. Habitat developed a building, hired a horrible building manager,…read morethey put little effort in to sell units and just screwed over all the people who purchased prior to the auction. I understand the real estate market is slow but other builders put more effort to sell their current properties rather than give them away and create a bad name for themselves. Now that 20% of the building has been auctioned off, us the owners have to suffer. Try refinancing to take advantage of all-time low rates .......if you bought before the auction you will find out your unit is only worth 50% or less of what you paid. The values plummeted this low as a result of Habitat auctioning off 34 units, not because of the market conditions. Purchasing a home is the biggest investment of your life and nothing like getting kicked in the balls by Habitat auctioning off units for under $85,000. Sure anyone would give this place 5 stars if they bought it at the auction. You can't touch a modern property for under $85,000 with granite, stainless steal appliances, wood floors, etc.

I lived in cadence last year August 2024-2025 and it was the best stay ever. I am usually not…read moresomeone who has ever posted a review, but i read one and only review here and it was a complete lie. Cadence is very user friendly apartment, including the appliances used there, countertop, flooring , locks everything is top notch, not to mention how friendly the front desk and the management team is. I cannot confirm or comment about the safety outside, but we usually made walks around the building until a football park nearby and it was never unsafe. There is even a very nice food court nearby. Living in Cadence was luxury for the price you pay. Our only concern was the neighborhood school for our kid and so we had to shift. If I can, I would anytime come back to Cadence and live there again. My son still requests us to go live back in Cadence. Its out first home for us here in the USA, and living there for a year was worth it. 10/5 rating.

Living at Cadence for the last 14 months has been complete and utter hell, where my husband and I's…read morehealth and safety have been regularly compromised. In fact, our time at this building has been so traumatizing that we decided to completely leave the state. Any good reviews you see on this building are ones from when residents first moved in (which management asked us to do). There are even reviews from employees that work at the building. If you are a working professional who wants respectful neighbors and a quiet, smoke-free living space, run as far away as you possibly can from this place. On the other end, if you're looking to live in a place that doesn't enforce any rules written in the lease where you're free to do whatever you want, including not paying rent, this is your place. Cadence, and the Medical District in general, attracts the lowest of low class residents--including literal criminals and professional squatters, who we unfortunately had the displeasure of living next to for the entirety of our stay. There are even regular teen takeovers by nearby high schools right outside the building. I'll start with the first of many problems. Our entire apartment (and often times the entire hall/lobby) CONSTANTLY reeks of weed. While Cadence writes in their lease that this is a smoke-free building, it's actually not. They do absolutely nothing about the constant weed smell that lives in units and throughout the entire building except send their pathetic email reminders that this is a "smoke-free" building. This management style is a trend for how every other issue is handled, including literal FELONS coming in and out of the building. Next problem, partying and loud music. The building likes to say they have a 24/7 concierge service which is a flat out lie. The desk, at absolutely no fault of their own, has ZERO authority to do anything. We had neighbors who partied EVERY.SINGLE.NIGHT. to the point where our walls would literally shake us awake from their bass at 3 AM. We would call the desk to complain, and if the desk called them to ask them to keep it down, the neighbors would not listen. The neighbors quickly learned they could just not listen.... to anything... with absolutely no repercussions. Sure, the neighbors ended up getting evicted 5 months into resident complaints, but they didn't end up actually having to leave until February and even better, they didn't pay any rent from August-February. Even after the court ordered the eviction, the neighbors still refused to leave and even THEN, management REFUSED to enforce ANY rules they put in their own lease! Management still let them have guests come in and out as they pleased, they still let them throw parties every single night, they still let them smoke weed at all hours of the day. We even had one woman at the desk be extremely rude to us when we called to complain and lie to us when she claimed they told the neighbors to quiet down. Management would then tell us to call the police, but since you live in Chicago where police literally won't respond if you get carjacked at gunpoint, police sure as hell aren't coming for noise complaints. We probably called the police 80+ times while living at Cadence, and they only came two times. Both times they said they couldn't do anything. So the desk can't enforce rules, the police won't come, and management refuses to do anything, leaving you completely screwed and on your own. Never once did management offer any sort of solution during our time here. Any 'solutions' were proposed by ME, NONE of which were EVER given. They are completely and utterly useless, all while having a smug, fake attitude about it. They like to throw out a lot of threats to tenants who not only break rules written in their leases, but also commit serious crimes on the property, but they never actually do anything. I'm out of space, but bottom line, for your sanity, safety, and security.... DO.NOT.LIVE.HERE! I CANNOT stress enough how awful this building is.

PROS The location cannot be beat - two blocks to all major highways and "L" lines, steps away from the restaurants and bars in Printers Row (not to mention the ones in South Loop), the best movie theater in Chicago I've been to lately (ICON), close to grocery stores and drugstores (15-minute leisurely walk tops). Grand and Millennium Parks are within walking distance, as are many museums (Art Institute for one). The building was built in 2004 but has been maintained beautifully - still looks as fresh and as new as the day it was built (except the party room - see below). The decor of the lobby and common areas is understated yet tasteful - and there are fresh floral arrangements in the lobby every week (that sold me!) The building staff is absolutely phenomenal - from the property manager (who has been with the building since it was built) to the door and maintenance staff. Everyone is always available, friendly, courteous and helpful, making life at WST a pleasure. Maintenance is available from 7 am to 11 pm every day, sure gives me peace of mind that help is always on hand. CONS (not dealbreakers, to be sure!) The building is scant on amenities - there is only an exercise room (no replacement for anyone's gym, to be sure), a party room (which can use freshening up of the decor and probably never gets used), a library room (I can read at home, thanks :) ), and a sundeck (which is on the 8th floor on the west side of the building so... mark your favorite lakeside beach instead). However, that never bothered me. What does bother me is that for the cost of purchasing a parking space and paying assessments for it you get "covered parking" - meaning there are no walls to the outside so the temperature is what it is outside, and snow, rain and dust freely blow inside the parking garage. But that's how the building was built, nothing to be done about that - and it beats street parking, which isn't all that plentiful around. If you are thinking of living at WST, do it without hesitation and be ready to be part of serene city living, supported by a great staff and close to everything the city has to offer!

She didn't bother to ask for my ID. She didn't bother to check my text AND email notifications. She made an assumption that literally made no sense and harassed me before, during, and after I picked up my packages with MY name on them. She then called after because my boyfriend told her to apologize, but she called me in a fake voice to give me a fake apology and admit no wrong she's done. She denies any disrespect she exuded. She clearly doesn't know how to do her job or be a working professional, which won't get her very far. But paramount lofts allows employees like her. At least temporarily.

I lived in this building for 2.5 years as an owner and for the most part, I have enjoyed living in…read morethis building. It has a good mixed demographic as far as families, yuppies, students, etc. This vertical village is 33 floors, just under 500 units, and 7 floors of parking spots (with top floor being uncovered). There are not a lot of amenities (lacking fitness room, pool, community activity room) which I personally preferred because it kept assessments low. In fact, this is probably one of the lowest assessments for the highrises in the area. However, the building does have 24 hour doormen & security, package room for deliveries, dog run with complimentary bags, a dry cleaners, and well-stocked market in the building. A martial arts/yoga tenant now occupies one of the retail units as well. In my 2.5 years here, the building has gone through high Management turnover. We are on our second management company, and 4th manager so far. I have been happy with two of them. Sometimes I don't understand the things that the Board approves, but I'm sure every building has the same issues. I actually lived in 2 units in the building, the first being a rental with lake-facing views and a balcony. The issue I personally did not like about the units that faced east and west was that the second "bedroom" wasn't a true bedroom (i.e. windows) but just had a 3/4 wall sharing the kitchen. It felt like a cave. The unit I eventually bought was a south facing unit and even though it did not have a balcony, it had two true bedrooms with floor to ceiling windows in each room (master bedroom, great room and guest bedroom). It was light, it was airy, it was beautiful. Rarely did I ever need to turn on the heat during the winter. Location wise it has its pros and cons. I'll start off by saying t's a bit of a walk to Roosevelt station (red, orange and green lines). I had no problem walking during the warmer months, but rarely ever walked to the train during winter. The CTA buses stop right in front of the building though (the building also has a cab light). It has access to Grant Park, the Lake, Museum Campus and Northerly Island via the 18th Street bridge. I always used to walk to State Street shopping too. It is close to other daily necessities like groceries (Mariano's, Jewel Osco, Trader Joes, Target) if you find that the on-site market is too expensive (which it is). It's close to Chinatown, McCormick Place, and Soldier Field. Traffic can be a nightmare during game nights, and there is zoned permit parking required on some nearby streets. Move in/move out fees are kind of high (increased last year) but pretty much what all other high rise units are going at nowadays, and a small assessment occurred at the new year. Upon my move out, even though I paid and 'reserved' the elevator for a 4 hour time frame, the front desk/maintenance staff hadn't prepared the elevator at all the morning of (aka padded the elevator and added a "Do Not Use Elevator, Move In Progress" sign). So of course I had to go to the front desk and remind them. Speaking of front desk staff, there were probably 5 or 6. When the management company changed (when I first moved in) so did the front desk staff. I only like maybe 2 or 3 of them (2 girls and 1 guy Luis)... the others I felt were not hospitable, friendly and weren't doing their job most of the time (i.e. letting guests enter the building without contacting the unit first). Window washing occurred twice a year. It's amazing how much bird poop gets on your windows and how high spiders can live. Power washing the garage floors happened I think once a year. The garage had been replaced/repaired several times. The front desk lobby was remodeled. Corridor Carpeting is being replaced on all floors (Floors 2-6 were already done because of high traffic areas). Elevator landings will get a touch of color. I thought I'd live here a lot longer, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity of putting my unit on the market and selling at my price point.

Easy access to ALL train lines, making easy travel to further blue line and redline area. South Wells street has been undergoing major renovations in the last 2 years, and the strip had added many amenities including restaurants, shops, a divvy station, and the highly anticipated Southbank riverwalk. The Riverwalk features gorgeous views on the city, the river, and lush greenery. The building design (inside and out) is a key feature which makes this a class-A building. The architecture of the Vetro stands out as a gem in the neighborhood. Concrete and glass are showcased throughout the building as major design elements and truly evoke a sense of modern beauty. The interior of the building follows these principals, with units displaying highly coveted concrete ceilings and pillars in every unit. Concrete between every unit means very heavy sound-proofing. I almost never hear any of my neighbors which truly feels like a luxury. Common areas are tastefully styled, with high ceilings, contemporary artwork, and modern furniture. The hallways are particularly sexy with dark, dramatic colors, and low-to-floor lighting. The units themselves were thoughtfully designed with floor-to-ceiling windows, highly usable layouts, and amazing views. My particular unit has four 9-foot window panels in every room, flooding the space with light, a split-bedroom layout with a large open concept kitchen/living room, and two huge walk-in closets with custom shelving and drawers. Every unit is outfitted with all the contemporary finishes you'd expect in a luxury high-rise, like hardwood floors, stainless steel appliances, and granite counters. The building amenities are high-end and make my daily living much more comfortable. The building engineer is incredible, reliable, and friendly. He can fix just about anything, which is extremely convenient, and much more economical than any outside service would be. The management team was replaced with a new company several years ago, and the new team is excellent at getting tenant needs completed in a highly efficient manner. Management runs a tight ship, which makes me feel confident in the building's future. The door staff and other maintenance employees are extremely friendly and often brighten up the days of tenants. Other building amenities include 2 private spas with hot tubs and steam rooms, a rentable party room, common areas to relax, and a gorgeous rooftop garden with a water fountain, lounge chairs, and nicely manicured greenery. Overall, the Vetro is a high quality building with stunning design, amazing location, and great staff/amenities. I plan to be here for several years to come.

They act like they own the tower instead of working for the residents as they are supposed to do. Also they operate on a distinct double standard between owners and renters. This is complete BS and not only is bad for the renter its also hurting the ability of landlord to find quality tenants. I have never lived anywhere where I have been looked down on by the property manager when we are paying over $2000 a month in rent. They operate it with that same attitude the property managers had when you live in college slum. Building: We lived there 1 year and in that time the air conditioning for the building went down 2 or 3 times. Hot water 2 or 3 times. All water once. Balcony glass door blew up in a storm. Light bulbs burn out in a 100 hours instead of the 3000 they are rated for indicating electrical issues. The kitchen sink was improperly installed causing water damage into the cabinets. The wall dividing to the neighboring unit is not up to code with only a piece of foam weather stripping dividing the unit causing the ability to hear all conversations, phone calls, alarms, etc.. between the units. So if you come here yes it does look nice on the surface but this will quickly fade and then you will realize that what you thought was a nice building with quality amenities is really just a facade.
