DO NOT rent here
Stella on the Park was formerly Parkside Collective. Last September, there was an explosion in the building and all the residents had to be evacuated. This is how Holland Residential/Holland Partner Group “handled the situation”:
All residents were immediately displaced and stayed in hotel rooms arranged by Holland with only whatever clothes they had on their backs.
Those hotel rooms were provided for only 2 weeks.
Representatives from Holland Partner Group sent out information stating that... the Fire Department (and then later, the "building department") would not allow anyone to return to their apartment until further notice. The Fire Marshal and City Inspector both went on record to state that they had not ordered building management to refuse access to the residents.
No security service was contracted to patrol the building while it was evacuated, which allowed thieves the time and opportunity to break into 50+ apartments. Prior to the robberies, a cleaning service was hired to empty out every apartment's refrigerator, without our knowledge or permission or vetting.
Within days of the initial evacuation, Holland terminated every single lease in the building without recourse.
Most tenants had the renter's insurance company that was affiliated with Parkside Collective; that insurance company cut off all funds/payouts to Parkside residents because Holland Residential provided a $1000 stipend for "relocation expenses."
Bottom line: Holland Residential failed to keep the residents or their property safe. They exacerbated the problem every step of the way by lying, failing to take responsibility, and finally, turning their backs on the residents and washing their hands of the whole mess. And now, they've given one last twist of the knife by restoring Parkside Collective under the new banner of Stella on the Park.
