The Standard

PROFIT COMES FIRST, RESIDENTS COME LAST!! I’ve lived at The Standard for nearly two years, and re-signing was genuinely one of the biggest mistakes I’ve made as a renter. I pay thousands of dollars per month expecting basic competence, safety, and accountability — none of which this building consistently provides. Most recently, I paid an additional fee for a reserved parking pass, yet the building failed to provide the required permit or documentation to display on my vehicle. Because of their own administrative failure, my car was towed from my assigned parking spot. Despite the front desk receptionist not providing me with accurate documentation, I was blamed by management and was forced to spend hours commuting outside the city and pay hundreds of dollars in towing and storage fees just to get it back. Unfortunately, this incident fits a broader pattern of chronic mismanagement. Elevators are frequently out of service, creating serious safety and accessibility concerns in a high-rise building. There have also been broken water pipes that left residents with little to no water access for extended periods, which is unacceptable under any circumstances — especially at this price point. Security is another ongoing problem. Loose access controls and poor security enforcement have resulted in stolen property within the building, Amazon packages, food, etc, on a regular basis. The most frustrating part is the attitude. Management consistently appears profit-driven and dismissive, showing little concern for the real impact these issues have on tenants’ safety, finances, and daily lives. The amount charged in rent does not reflect the quality of living being delivered. If you’re considering living here, understand this: you can pay on time, follow the rules, and still be left dealing with the consequences of a system that prioritizes revenue over residents. I strongly recommend thinking twice before signing or re-signing a lease here (or anywhere that Landmark Properties owns).
