Plant 64 Apartment Homes

I rented at Plant 64 for several years. Between the building’s issues and the management’s handling of them, I wouldn’t recommend it.

To their credit, the maintenance staff responded quickly — the issues themselves, however, were chronic and never truly resolved. A ceiling leak took six months to resolve and ruined a brand new laptop. Chronic HVAC issues made the unit uncomfortable for extended periods — and expect electric bills north of $300 a month as a result. When I raised the concern, the... official response was that the building is old and has big windows. I’ll leave it to future tenants to decide how reassuring they find that. Ultimately, the HVAC issues were bad enough that I terminated my lease early.

The lease termination process was a fitting send-off. My account showed a $0.00 balance for weeks after my lease ended — termination fee credit applied in my account, all clear. Then, 31 days later, I received an email saying the credit had been applied in error. They sent a new bill with no due date nor method of payment. Two days later, I was in collections.

When I followed up, the team explained they had no way of knowing the collections referral was coming. I found that answer both honest and alarming.

I’d encourage anyone considering this building to look up Tribridge, the management company — they consistently have awful reviews. Consider that before signing anything. Read More

I am a student in the area and I also ocassionally am sent abroad/to NYC for government work; my roommate is also a student and works in finances. Bearing this in mind, we are often out of the apartment, and have quite demanding schedules and needs. However, Plant 64 and the staff have been very amicable in making accomodations for our housing and we have largely had only positive experiences. The facilities are top-notch and well maintained, and the apartments themselves are all excellent. The... staff have, as previously stated, been very kind and helpful, responding to emails and requests in a reasonable timeframe.

One thing to note, however, is that some of the apartments lack overhead lighting in the bedrooms (there IS overhead lighting, however, in the kitchen, living room, hallway and bathrooms), so it would be wise to bring standing lamps or an alternative.

Another thing to be aware of is heating/cooling: this, of course, is not necessarily a bad thing, but because the cielings are quite tall (ours are ~16 feet), the best way to cool/heat your apartment is to set it at a reasonable temperature and keep your windows closed and SHADES DOWN in the summer and UP in the Winter. Natural light from the large windows will hurt your cooling bill in the summer, but help heat the place in the winter, so be diligent about natural light when it comes to managing the temp. of the apartment.

Overall, my experience at Plant 64 has been quite positive. If your price range allows you to tour Plant 64, I would highly recommend it over similarly-priced apartments on account of its safety, quality of facilities, kind staff, location and apartment quality. Read More

I lived here for a year and to be honest I just do not feel that it is worth what they are charging. The amenities are top quality and the staff are pleasant, but this place is near the top of the list for most expensive apartments downtown and in my opinion, it just plain Isn't worth what they charge.

The reason I feel that it is not worth the rent is mostly location, which is a big part of what they try to sell you on by talking about it being downtown. While it is near bailey park which is... nice, it is about a 15-25 minute walk from almost anything else you'd like to do downtown and it is also a stones throw from one of the most poverty stricken parts of town. There is constant security so it is still a safe community, but just to buy stuff as simple as groceries in a safe area you have to get on the highway and go across town.

Also power bills are significantly higher than you will spend at other apartments because of the high ceilings and huge windows, meaning more air to be kept cool and more sunlight coming in heating the air up. My power bill has been as high as $175 for one month in a single bedroom apt. Plus don't forget the 30 dollars they'll charge you to park and 15 dollars they charge to collect your trash you'll be paying up to $225 a month on top of the rent.

Maybe I'm just over the idea of paying the crazy rent required to live downtown, but In my opinion if you are choosing between this apartment and other downtown apartments, I would maybe consider spending even a little bit more to get closer to the heart of downtown rather than living on the outskirts at these high prices.

I had a wonderful experience living at Plant 64. The apartments are very clean and spacious. I was most impressed with the friendly and professional Plant 64 team, including Robyn and Ashley. They were incredibly accommodating, and I liked that the office is available after work hours and on Saturday. I enjoyed the gym, free coffee, and outdoor spaces. I also found the business center useful for studying and printing. I cannot say enough good things about Plant 64.

Plant 64 is so cool! Brand new, high-end, walk everywhere downtown. I am new to the area and have met many great people so far. Great community, great staff and most amenities anywhere. They have a huge gym, killer saltwater pool, FREE classes, Yoga room AND basketball court. I love to drink my morning coffee on the rooftop. I am very happy here and so glad I chose P 64!
