"Absolute Hell"

As a currently miserable tenant of a condo in the Absolute complex, I urge you to stay AS FAR AWAY AS POSSIBLE from the Absolute condos. No one should have to live thru this kind of hell. -The elevators RARELY work & if there are high winds or a lot of rain, the elevators are completely out of order because the building was built wrong. -The garbage chute is out of order 90% of the time. -A week after moving in, the main water pipe on the 24th floor burst due to being built wrong. 12 entire floors were flooded, & my condo was basically ruined. The floors had to be ripped out. As it took 3 mnths for building management to deal with the situation, we lived on concrete floors until they chose a contractor to do the repairs. The contractor they chose (Gulfstar) was terrible in every way. I missed 4 days of work because they kept lying about when they were coming to do repairs to my unit. Their customer service was abysmal. While doing the "repairs", the Gulfstar people put numerous holes in my wall, & never actually finished the job. All we got from Absolute was a couple donuts for our trouble. -The fire alarm goes off at least 3 times a week for at least 20 mins each time. -The parking garage lanes & spaces are so narrow you’re guaranteed to have at least one collision in your time here. -The entrances to the complex were built in such a way that during high-traffic times, you will sit in your car for upwards of 10 mins just waiting to get thru the gates.

"absolute condos"

If you are willing to be awaken by a false fire at midnight or early morning once or twice a month, don't even think about buying or renting these condos. This happens at 70, 80, 90 condos. If you like the awful smell that comes from Indian cooking, you will be glad. Because you will get that strong scent, if you don't even think about it. It doesn't matter which unit you live in, you can't get away from that awful smell, if one Indian is cooking in the condo unit, the smell goes thru the vents and doors and ends up in your units. The elavators are in the units always have problems. Sometimes out of three elavators, only one is working and over crowds the elavators stops at most floors, and this happens two-three times a month. I lived there for two years and I had to walk the stairs from 20$@@ floor on three times because the FU!@@**#ing elavators were not working, all of them. The designer who designed the entry gate of this condos is stupidiest person because at a busy time when residents come home from work and if there's one visitors at the gate, it jams the line and residents car starts to line up all the way to burnhamthrope and hurontario in both ways, you will hear residents honking their horns because they end up waiting for up to 30 minutes just to get in the condos. Just imagine what will happen when two other condo are built? For the three condos there are only two entries. This condo is the shi@#$% condo I ever lived in.

"Absolute Club - 30,000
square feet of Amenities
is a HUGE
DISAPPOINTMENT!!!"

The promise of 30,000 square feet of amenities lures those who foolishly hope to use it. It has remained unfinished for two years now, and it moves along at snail’s pace. The turnover in the absolute community has been huge. Most have left frustrated and disappointed by the lack of interest in finishing the Absolute Club which is the big selling point of the Absolute community. The Absolute Club looks as though it will be finished very soon, however do not let that fool you into thinking you will live here long enough to see it finished. Even if you do decide to buy into the partially finished club, you will likely move before it is completed. There are huge numbers of trades looking for work at the moment, and Fernbrook has few excuses for not completing the work. But, after another year has passed us by, the minimal work continues. This could be finished in less than 30 days if the builder had any intention of finishing it this year of 2009. I too will follow those before me and move. When looking for your dream condominium, it's best to move on to a builder who is serious about what they promise in amenities. HIGHEST CONDO FEES FOR ALMOST NON-EXISTENT FACILITIES. YOU CAN DO BETTER!!

Comment on this Review: unregistered user on February 26 2010: Lived here for almost a year, DO NOT MOVE IN HERE!!!!!!!! it is terrible, nice because it is new but bad because the builder is cheap...35 story building and elevators that they cant seem to keep working. And remember that this socalled great facilities, an 8 man hot tub inside that isn't even hot and a 4 man tub outside that is going tobe shared between all 5 buildings. do your research before committing to this nightmare. unregistered user on July 19 2010: the fire alarm has been going off since 12 30 am and its 2:05am ... still going.. i hate living here Write a comment about this review Enter image text:
