This review is for Thomas from our concierge team specifically! While not a manager, he has been absolutely great in keeping this building intact! I hope CSL will consider making him our manager.

Love our Columbia Square Living experience. The top-tier amenities, rooftop, and finishes make every day feel like a vacation. Our favorite part of living here is being able to connect with the staff who makes it a point to get to know you and are always super gracious. From the valet team, to maintenance, housekeeping and the front desk , every interaction has been remarkable. Dahee in particular has been so responsive, friendly and helpful.
