305 Condos

Sex offenders living At The Plaza in my old condo. I got an email today from NextDoor the app saying I was a sex offender. I decided to do some research and realized a sex offender moved into my old address. Since I never updated my address in the app they checked it and found a sex offender at that address. Be very careful with your children people. This guy is a multiple sex offender that moved down from New York. Shame on the management for putting young children in danger. If he rapes another child from that building management should be held liable.

Clean, safe, well maintained. But if you live on 951 Brickell Avenue facing west, you were here all the noise from the street from Mary Brickell Village. It does not matter how high a floor you live on. We need to sleep with a white noise maker. Sleep with earplugs. It makes me wonder how hurricane proof the windows really are.

Very well run condominium. Great amenities! It has been very well take care of. The valet is perfect and we can ourchase the tickets for 5 $ for 12 hours. The gym is not professional but it is perfect for everyday training, moreover after ttaining going into the sauna it’s juat great! The building staff are very nice, friendly and responsible.

I have to say the building is great with great amenities, nice apartments and a great location. As long as nothing ever goes wrong, you will enjoy your experience here. The second something goes wrong, you’ll regret you ever moved in. Management at The Plaza is the worst I’ve ever dealt with. They lie to your face about things, make promises they don’t keep and ignore you. I had water damage from the apartments above me. My landlord offered to send someone in to fix the damage to my apartment, but I was told by management that the building fixes drywall and not my landlord. Six weeks later, and MANY MANY phone calls and visits to their office, I still cannot get any sort of answers or follow through from management. The problem has gone on so long that I now have mold growing in my apartment. This experience has been so unpleasant that I am considering cutting my lease short.

Tell you what, I’ve seen a lot of negative reviews and maybe that’s due to the fact that most people appear to be renters, but this is a pretty well run building. As much as I am doubtful and mistrustful of condo associations in general (no bid contracts to your cousin’s husband’s contracting company anyone? captive audiences anyone?), this one appears to be pretty professionally handled. I’m sure they’re taking their pound of flesh wherever possible, but all in all I’m pretty satisfied.
Also the location is really as good as it gets — sweeping bay views, and not in the nightly mess of Mary Brickell Village.

Great building with great amenities.

Living at The Plaza was a less than pleasant experience. I should have known the management company were unprofessional tyrants when they did not initially approve me as a tenant because of a fight that I got into when I was 19 years old. (I’m a 39 year old physician with no criminal history, much less a speeding ticket). By the building not approving my application as expected and in a timely fashion I was forced to stay longer than I was supposed to in my prior apartment (which made me incur significant charges and fee’s) change dates for the movers, and rearranged my work schedule. When my Realtor tried to talk some sense into the office staff, Mary Medina was especially nasty, telling my realtor, «your client knows what he did» referring to a fight I got into 20 years ago.
Most of the front desk staff were completely unprofessional. They sat behind the desk leaning back in the chair like its their living room. Only thing missing was their feet up. Frequently I would get packages and not be notified. Atleast 1 package disappeared. People would show up to my apartment unannounced because the front desk staff would not bother calling me. What topped it off was one of the male workers hit on my girlfriend. Inviting her to the club Mansion.
Valet is a joke. First of all the design of the driveway is idiotic, but valet has the same apathetic attitude that the front desk staff have On one occasion the valet sped into the driveway with my jaguar and scraped the bottom of the front spoiler. Guests cars would take forever to retrieve because valet was nowhere to be found
Finally, when I’m moving out I was informed I would have to pay a non refundable $ 100 move out fee. I had no problem with that, but they did not tell me it had to be a cashiers check. So my movers show up at 9am and I go to the management office to pay the fee and they won’t accept cash or a personal check. Since I’m paying the movers by the hour I ask if they will permit the movers to start working and I’ll go to the bank and get the cashiers check. I even offer to leave $ 100 cash until I get back. Instead of doing what any normal decent person would, the girl in the management refuses. So instead of finishing up packing I’m running to the bank to get a cashiers check. It ends up taking about 45 minutes which I had to pay the movers for sitting there.
The whole experience was unpleasant. The management company needs to be changed or at least most of the staff need to be fired. The girls in the management office seem to relish being rude and making tenants lives as difficult as possible I would discourage anyone from moving here.
