You cannot have packages delivered here if you live here.
I’ve lived here for three years and the situation has only gotten worse when it comes to building security. Homeless people regularly congregate in the garage, and you will not be able to have anything delivered here. I have had thousands of dollars of packages stolen, and now have to resort to sending all my packages to a PO Box. When I’ve contacted them asking if they’re going to do anything, I get a standard “sorry you had a bad time!” Form response, with no change. Do not rent here, it... is not safe.

Hello ,We appreciate your willingness to provide our team with your feedback.

We understand that package theft is... common in Seattle, and we're sorry to learn that packages have been taken. We are doing everything in our power to ensure the safety of our residents. We do have other community homes outside of the city; perhaps you could ask your community relations personnel what options you might have for a transfer.

Impossible to get deliveries, sleep
Units aren't so bad. Weirdly crappy washer/driers for a "luxury" apartment. Short walk to the train station. Packages are impossible to get, and you can forget getting takeout. Getting a delivery person in through the labyrinth of doors, gates and locks is Herculean. Fire alarms are constant. Minimum once a month, frequently twice. Always in the middle of the night, generally between 2-4am. You and your pets will develop an anxiety disorder. Do not recommend.

Staff is miserable to work with.
There are so many issues with this place. Staff is miserable to work with, had problems since before moving in and every instance since. The most recent issues was when we put in a maintenance request today for a leak. We requested they came in the afternoon since I was busy with something and asked for them to contact us beforehand. Imagine my surprise when I hear a knock at the door while staring into a webcam in front of other people; apparently they had decided to just ignore the requests... we'd made, they acknowledged they'd seen them, but had chosen to ignore them. Obviously having people randomly show up to go in and out of your apartment if you work from home is a huge issue. Got no notice that they were going to show up whenever they felt like either. Spent the rest of the day frustrated and irritated. Place is a complete joke.

Nobody Works Here
This place has been a complete nightmare from the start. Our tour was interrupted by a current resident who tracked down the leasing staff to complain about a problem. Wish I had paid more attention to this red flag and not moved here. The staff our completely inaccessible. The leasing office's windows are now blacked out and their our signs everywhere stating the office is closed to current residence. We have had an issue for a while now and there is no one to contact. No one seems to work at... this property anymore.

Too expensive, not well lit or ventilated
The apartments are atleast 10-15% more expensive than similar apartments in the area. Which begs the question, what does Patent 523 bring to the table that these other apartments don't? And the answer would be - nothing at all. There is no air conditioning so you're left to suffer incredibly hot temperatures in the apartment during summer. There is no cross ventilation, most of the apartments looks like a shipyard container, closed on all sides except we can crack open windows. No patio or... balcony. They attempt to redeem themselves with roof top, but lets be honest, there are apartments with better view than that, in Seattle and they don't have the problems which clearly this apartment has
