I have had a great experience at this apartment, I recently did a "Hard Hat" tour with the management staff who provided a very nice depiction of what the finished apartment complex will look like. Also given that these will be new apartments the price is very affordable for a new apartment with lots of added amenities. I look forward to views of Mt Rainer and closeness to downtown Tacoma.
