I know not everything is fine all the time but overall this place is pretty good, if you get to know everyone that works there like I did, you’ll fine them to be very professional at what they do and also very nice people, always willing to help, you just have to ask, the property manager goes to extremes to make sure everything runs smoothly, she’s a great person. Like I said this is the best building I ever lived in, thank you again for making it so enjoyable…

If you want homeless people sneaking into your lobby, Amazon packages stolen, cars stolen out of a gated garage, dismissive concierge and reception, i would highly recommend this building

If I could take away stars I would!!!

First of all, like everyone, we were originally excited to move into this building. THE DAY WE MOVED IN, I spoke with someone in the elevator who was moving out and told me, "The building is great, management is terrible" a few months later I came to agree.

I have a very young family with two small daughters so safety is high on my list of priorities. From homeless people wandering the building to drugs falling onto our balcony to gates being constantly... broken and cars being stolen. Elevators are constantly broken and packages are dropped off in a small room where your package may be opened and contents stolen. We have not felt safe AT ALL. Building management is not PROACTIVE but REACTIVE, they will wait until something happens to you then ask why were you there, victim blaming at its finest.

We pay $150/month for preferred parking on the 3rd floor which gets us front row to any car thieves as experienced late August which turned out to be the car directly next to ours being stolen. Gate was broken at least 2-3 weeks before building management decided to hire "Security" to control the wide open gate access from 6pm - 6am, because everyone knows car jackings only happen after dark. That reaction could've been quicker. Since then, gate has broken twice, first was address quickly, however this second time, not so much. Gate has been broken since mid December and per the attached photo taken yesterday, Monday, Jan 3rd, 2023 @ 9:42PM, we just get cones and still no guard to make sure only paying, authorized tenants can access. VERY, VERY SAFE.
We reached out voicing these concerns and more on 11/6/22, took management 10 days to realize they should respond since the contact we had "no longer worked here", Great. At this point we were convinced, let's leave before the danger gets any more serious. Per the signed agreement, we are required to provide management with a minimum of 60 days notice prior to moving out so we did, advising on 11/6/22 we would be leaving 1/9/23, fair right? WRONG, management denied us from releasing us from the agreement even though State of Florida requires Property owners keep my family safe. Good luck and stay safe in this war zone.

From the start of my lease, Motion was a disappointment, from the management crew back in June 2021 telling not treating me well and being super rude, to not caring and management not even replying to my emails and requests.

My experience at motion is the reason I decided to leave Miami.

I hope they change management soon and improve the quality of service.

For a building that is relatively new, the Motion already felt like an old, rundown building when I moved out. Things that were broken, such as equipment in the gym, was never repaired or replaced. For example, one of the weight machines has been unusable for almost nine months because a cable was never replaced. A section of the mirrored wall was cracked at some point and it remained broken several months later when I moved out.

I reported in January that someone had thrown up in the... staircase between the 7th and 6th floor. Two weeks after that complaint, the stains were still there and it still reeked of vomit. disgusting!

The lack of security was glaring, too, especially since there have been several thefts from the bike storage unit in the building. My bike was stolen from that room, which only tenants have access to. It took someone from the Motion more than a week to get back to me about it. They didn't even bother to save the footage from the security cameras so police could properly investigate.

Considering the proximity to the metro rail and a busy mall like Dadeland, security should be a priority. Instead, at some point in 2021, the building decided to do away with some front-door personnel and just have their leasing agents handle doormen duty. Incredibly cheap.

The problems with parking were also frustrating. Even though it was entirely the fault of the building for not properly doling out spaces to renters from the start, the only solution the new management company came up with so people could have a parking space was to force tenants to pay more money to guarantee a space to park their car.

It was an immensely disappointing experience living there. The location is convenient and the staff that is there works hard, but management doesn't seem to care about properly maintaining the amenities the building has (which are nice) or about creating a safe and secure atmosphere. Read More
