It is currently 84 degrees in my apartment. When i reported this, there were no concerns about trying to accommodate that. So the building will have to suffer heat exhaustion and pray nothing happens medically to any of the residents due to being overheated.

Kevin is the man, never takes more then one day to respond our maintenance requests. Amenities are nice too, media room is mostly available for bringing friends over, lounge is convenient to study or chill, gym has new equipments and you won't wait for a line or something. Always had security/host at lobby to let my friends in and giving me heads up, as well as recieving my packages. I have been an Arch resident almost a year now, never lost a package yet :) Only downside is, there is literally no parking for your car. You can park at Windsor's parking next door, but it costs $315/month with horrible customer service(valet parking) or you can shop parking decks around Center City, and walk to your car. I sold mine when moved in, everywhere in downtown is biking or walking distance anyways. Overall, I'd recommend Arch Apartments for anyone looking to move into the city.

Goldtex Gets A Bad Wrap So, I have been here about 6 months…read morenow and figured it is time to leave a review. Especially because people are more prone to go on and vent rather than say what is going right. I moved up here from Florida in December, just after Greystar took over. I love the history of an older building and understand that comes with its drawbacks. Yes, the elevators were having some issues when we first moved in but it looks like those have been resolved. Haven't had a downed elevator in over a month now. The pool and hot tub are closed for refurbishment (but honestly...it has been winter...who wants to swim during winter. Maybe the hot tub would have been nice but it's not the end of the world.) Even with that down, the new management team took the time to make the rooftop a nice place to hang out. Maintenance sometimes takes a bit but when I went in and actually talked with the staff, they explain that they were down to one maintenance person for a bit and (again older building) they were a bit behind. They sent out an email explaining the situation with the HVAC and have also been sending updates...in addition to providing portable AC units for those of us who needed them. Has it been perfect, no. But they have been communicative, have taken short term action to try to overcome the situation they probably found themselves in when they were hired to manage the building, and have kept us up to date on the actions they are taking towards a permanent fix. The concierge staff is amazing. Rob and Phil are always friendly and welcoming. They knew my name AND my dog's name within a few weeks of moving in. The management team has held 2 or 3 events every month since I got here that has made it really easy to meet some of my new neighbors. Especially nice when coming in to a new city. Regardless, I love my apartment and am glad that it is my first home in Philadelphia and think it is pretty obvious that a company that JUST came on 6 months ago is doing a great job handling an older building and all the charm that naturally comes with that.

The attached parking deck is quite convenient. Located over a Whole Foods, the building is well equipped as a luxury experience. The exercise room is light and well maintained with excellent equipment. Additionally, the concierge staff and maintenance staff are outstanding and extremely helpful for almost any request. The most significant negative experiences have involved the elevators. At least one ( of 4) elevators has been out of order for most of the past two years. Recently two elevators have been out of order for 3 months. The management team seems unable to influence the problem and keeps thanking residents for their patience without providing any reliable timeline for correction of the issue. It is difficult to recommend Dalian as luxury apartment living when this issue persists without a compelling and comprehensive solution from management.

***And for those "50 additional cameras?" Footage of two…read moremasked men INSIDE an apartment for 8min that they robbed three separate times shows that cameras are not enough of a deterrent at this point. PSA: there are no CCTV monitoring stations at the front desk for the "security" staff to watch. footage is in the hands of property management only, who are only at their desks from 9am-5pm Mon-Fri. nor is there any guest sign-in book or procedure - only a package sign out sheet. the call box in the doorway does not work. Simple solution? ALL locks need to be changed. You can imagine that that has not once been considered as an action plan after multiple requests - just like how multiple requests for cameras from over 5 previously robbed tenants like myself were flatly denied over the past six months. Goes to show whose interest they're really protecting.*** (Side note: there are 13 floors in this building with apartments, plus the parking level, and two stairwells with doors at each floor = 1 camera per area, NOT including the lobby or hallways.) ------ The moral of this story about 2040 Market: if it seems too good to be true, it *really* is. My apartment was burglarized while I slept on a Sunday night in November 2019. Shaken, I filed a police report and went to the management office so video footage in the hallway or elevator could be reviewed. To my surprise, I was told there were no cameras on floors - only one in the lobby. After repeated emails asking for cameras to be installed to ensure everyone's safety, I was denied several times, told to "buy my own camera if I wish", and finally compromised by escalating to PMC corporate and getting fob scanners in the elevators - in February. I later found out through talking to others in the building - not from property management - that upwards of ten more people were robbed between November 2019 and the time I'm writing this, late February 2020. And the kicker? We still don't have cameras. They added "four more security guards that rove the halls at night"...never mind that the additional folks who were robbed dead bolted their doors and the bags, backpacks, and cases their high-value electronics and wallets were found thrown into empty apartments in the building. Summary? It's an inside job. In a building with a "doorman" (read: package accepter), no cameras, opaque management, and $1800 rent. Please feel free to contact me if you'd like to see several screenshots of vague, defensive, uninformative emails from management (with time stamps), hear more about my stories or others' stories about living in this building - this just scratches the surface. Spend a couple hundred dollars more a month for a building in Center City that actually cares about the safety of its tenants. It's worth it.

Reposting on Yelp as The View has taken down my + many other former tenants HONEST reviews. They…read moreclaim that they don't take reviews down, but I've seen it happen to 5+ former tenants. I genuinely enjoyed living here, but the $400 a month rent increase when I tried to renew my lease is what lead to a 1 star review. The new management is great (compared to the 3 different management teams during the short time I lived there) and I know the increase was coming from corporate. However, the building is not worth almost $3000 a month to live in a glorified studio. Now they're left with a bunch of empty units because no one will renew or a sign a lease at these outrageous rates. The building is a ghost town. It's really a shame that they're losing SO many tenants over this. Not to mention, this building is disgusting at this point. I went back to visit some friends a few weeks ago. I found a shattered handle of alcohol just sitting in the hallway. They are really letting this place go, it's terrible. If it's this bad now, I could only imagine how bad it is in 5 years. I must share one of my memories at The View - when a domestic dispute carried into the entire building with a man breaking doors to enter into back into the building after being escorted out by the police. My boyfriend, who is a corrections officer, had to handle the domestic dispute because the front desk was unsure what to do. The back door is still broken from this (it happened in August/September) and anyone can walk right in by pulling on the back door. **Also, many of the 5 star reviews on Google are employees of Priderock. I have countless emails with their names in the signature line.

Updated Review: I have had two leases in this building since January of 2020. When we first moved…read morein, some amenities were not accessible or available as it was a new building and COVID precautions were in place. We knew what we were getting into and we were super patient about it. Everything was great, obviously since we signed two leases. The original staff was amazing and super helpful and informative. There has since been changes with staffing and management. I submitted a work order for my ceiling on November 8 2021 and as of now has not been addressed (January 9th 2022) Maintenance came to fix, yet another, leaky ceiling and left the job incomplete with a patchy paint job that clearly does not reflect luxury living. I've emailed about this twice. They have also come to fix a leaky kitchen faucet, which they left very lose and feels like it can fall off at any moment. Emailed about this half done job a week ago. On top of the sloppy maintenance work, our renewal lease option that was originally presented to us was an increase of $500 in rent & $100 in parking. So a total of $600 monthly increase to renew. Obviously that prompted us to look else where. We found a great apartment in Rittenhouse Square thats $200 less than what we pay now. So it actually worked out for us in the end. They did try to negotiate another offer , however at that point we've already seen other, more convenient apartments, so it was too late. The building itself used to be kept a lot better. Not so much now. The walls were a mess. They just recently painted them. Just in time for tours, assuming many residents will be moving with this rent increase. Morning front desk staff is pleasant, always speak always nice. Night shift is completely different. Always on their cell phone, heads down. Not attentive. Just there. There is one girl who always speaks and is nice , everyone else needs more training. Someone on staff is always sitting in theater room just hanging out. The rooftop deck is finally open after two years, sort of. The elevator button to the roof is disabled for whatever reason. The building isn't terrible , they just need to figure out the maintenance/ management issues so tenants won't experience a two month delay like I have. Take more pride in keeping the building clean. Train staff appropriately, and bring back community events (NOT the ones that we currently have to sell a product/service ) Those feel like timeshare presentations. If these issues are fixed , then maybe asking for more $$$$ a month won't be as insulting.

Right now max is 79 degrees. They claim the heat but how can they get it right in Miami and NY where I've lived before? They won't fix appliances even with a work order. Maintenance will tell you they need to order parts and to place another work order. My dishwasher, dryer and bathroom hasn't worked for three years. Management constantly changes and new management keep saying the same thing. "We are here to change things". Do not live here. I'm out this year. Final straw. Everyone leaves quickly. They even moved me into the wrong apartment not facing the river, but I was too kind to push back. I'd give them a 1 on a scale of 1-10 with 1 being the worst with integrity, cost especially, maintenance (the guys are great however), management et al.

After receiving email confirmation and verbal confirmation on the phone with the leasing office, I arrived to the Ludlow for my tour. Concierge informed me that the leasing office was closed. I do not know how it was possible for me to have the name of the agent that was giving me a tour plus multiple confirmations of the day and time of an appointment when the office was not open. Concierge could not do anything to allow me to see the building or amenities either. I left my information with concierge and waited days to see if anyone from the leasing office would reach out to follow up on this issue. Again, nothing was done. If they cannot put in the effort to gain the interest of potential residents, I wonder how they treat residents once they have already secured a lease. It is interesting to craft a reply which contains false information. You never called my phone. You never left a voicemail, let alone several voicemails. You have my correct phone number since we have talked on the phone weeks prior to the scheduled tour date. I myself called the day of the tour to speak with the office and the women who answered made no mention to leasing offices being closed on federal holidays either. It is wonderful that the staff is off for federal holidays, but that is not the standard throughout Philadelphia as I went on other leasing tours that day. I do not fault you for not being available during a holiday but rather the abysmal mismanagement of your schedule and inability to remedy the situation. No one reach out to me until after I reached out to your office first days after the schedule appointment. I would considered your office reaching out to me after I contacted them first to be a response to me, not someone reaching out to me themselves as you stated.
