| Project | Overall | Structure & systems | Management & living |
|---|---|---|---|
| One SoHo SquareSoHo / Hudson Square, Manhattan, New York | 8.5/ 10 | —/ 10 | 8.5/ 10 |
The largest published review aggregate is 4.5/5 from 101 reviews, which converts to 8.5 under the specified curve and therefore sets the level. The sampled comments are mostly positive, but they are visitor/workplace reviews rather than a resident-specific evidence base; no recurring theme met the reporting threshold, so no commentary adjustment was applied. | |||
Published property material describes renovated infrastructure, new mechanical systems, nine passenger elevators, new bathrooms and tenant-controlled HVAC. The review sample includes a visitor saying the building was “Clean. Well operated. Plenty of amenities,” but it does not provide a resident-derived assessment of leaks, plumbing, HVAC failures or other defects. | The available reviews are visitor- and workplace-oriented rather than resident reviews. Positive comments include “Clean. Well operated. Plenty of amenities” and a Warby Parker visitor’s report that “The staff was friendly enough”; one 2023 reviewer, however, described the experience as “generic” and said security frustrated tenants at the company visited. | ||
| OTTOGreenpoint, Brooklyn, New York197 units | 5.8/ 10 | 4.5/ 10 | 4.7/ 10 |
The largest published review base is the Google-derived 3.3/5 rating from 16 reviews, which converts to 4.9/10 under the specified curve. Openigloo’s 4.1/5 from 12 reviews is a material positive dissent, but the score remains constrained by the larger anchor and is reduced by reported management, noise and HVAC problems, with praise for amenities and staff providing a limited offset. Structural scoring is kept separate and lower because the written evidence includes a prolonged HVAC failure and reported hazardous violations, while living quality reflects the mixed operational experience. | |||
One reviewer reported that the HVAC had been broken from February into July, with broken heat lasting from February through May: “we are still without air conditioning.” Openigloo also reports two Class C violations, described as immediately hazardous and including “inadequate heat or hot water” and defective building parts. These are isolated or source-reported failures rather than evidence of a complete structural diagnosis. | Residents frequently praise the rooftop, amenities and staff: one called the staff “exceptional,” while another said the rooftop was “spectacular” and the staff “quick to respond.” Countervailing reviews describe “extremely loud banging noises at all hours,” management that had “basically ghosted” the tenant, and a gym that was “not cleaned well”; Openigloo also summarizes recurring noise and management-responsiveness complaints. |
