Generally love living here. Adrian in the leasing department has been a great asset to the building, super friendly and easy to work with. Any issues had are taken care of swiftly.

Have a blast listing here. Just close enough to all the fun things that happen downtown with out being too close. I get home around 1 am sometimes due to work and I still feel safe in the neighborhood

Lived here for a year and decided to move out after the lease renewal came around, and they were increasing prices. It's just not worth it. Yeah, the highlight of this place is the rooftop, but that's it, and good luck getting a seat by the pool on a busy day because there aren't many. Maintenance is pretty good. Security does nothing for loud neighbors better off handling it yourself. Cleaning is done frequently, but the residents DO NOT pick up after themselves. The "Dog Walk" area on the 6th... floor is like a nightmare poop everywhere and smells gross. Management is terrible about responding to emails or picking up the phone, so just go see them in person. The location is infested with homeless right outside and down the street. The parking gate is always broken, so it stays open, and anyone can come in and steal your stuff from the parking lot, which happened to me, and absolutely NOTHING was done for me. The units themselves are nice and have the views and tech things you would expect with up-to-date appliances, but the windows haven't been cleaned my whole time there, so it was pretty dirty. The downstairs office working area is pretty nice if you work from home, and the other patio on the 5th floor is swarmed with nats and other bugs it's hardly ever used. Also upon move out I obviously made sure to clean my unit throughly and still got charged $195 for a “Professional Cleaning” and $215 for a “Professional Paint Restoration” for small nail holes throughout the unit. But hey, at least you live downtown, right?

Great building and staff. The residents do need to do better in keeping the community clean , especially the dog owners. I wish they would have better machines in the gym.

I like almost everything about Shift; it’s convenient to downtown / work, my apartment is well designed, and beautiful, and I like that I’m not charged for parking both my car and motorcycle. The few negatives (and these aren’t really Shifts’ fault) are my upstairs nieghbor runs a bowling alley or perhaps ballet classes, the stains on the common hallway carpets, the smell of dog urine around the outside of the building, and dirty garage / broken glass on elevators.
