Kinects Tower

Current resident in this building. The amenities are nice and the leasing staff plus concierge are friendly. But there are some fundamental problems in the building. The freight elevator has been broken for the last 3 months with multiple promises of it being fixed in the "next few weeks". With the freight elevator out, it's not uncommon to wait 10-15 minutes for the elevator over the weekend. Even with the freight elevator operational, the elevators are slow compared to other buildings. On top of that, the building has intermittent hot water and water pressure issues. Also the management conducts annual inspections saying they're required by city and state laws, even though I couldn't find any law which says that. I have lived in other buildings in Seattle and have never received an annual inspection notice. Despite the discount on rent in this building compared to others, I'd highly recommend not moving here.

It's not a well-constructed building. We've lost hot water in several areas of the building multiple times. Amenities & elevators frequently malfunction. Trash chutes often clog. The garage door is super slow and at times won't open at all - I couldn't drive to work one day because the door was broken. Also the new chargepoint car chargers are terrible. From the management side, there's a lot of turnover and communication of building-wide notices can be very slow. Last month they had issues with renewing leases and we weren't informed in a timely manner. We were almost automatically put on a month-to-month lease. It was a whole thing to get a proper lease signed. Concierge staff is great. Cecelia is the best - always friendly and helpful. Views are great too and location is very cconvenient. The location is probably the primary reason I still live here.
