“I have nothing bad to say about Amli lofts. Other than that it may not be the place for you if you are on a strict budget. It's pricey and depending on what you want out of an Alat may not be worth it. I happen to believe, but, that It's well worth the money as, again, I literally can't think of anything bad to say about the amenities or location.”

“Grest place to live. Staff is attentive and helpful. Guperb amenities available including nice outside area on the 12th floor. Area can get a little loud on weekends due to the clubs on hubbard st.”

“Dear AMLI, Thank you for providing 70 days notice of my new rent, when I need to give 60 days notice of vacating my Alat. I was traveling for 8 of those 10 days. Can I sue you for that? or I could revise my stellar Yelp review, since I'm no longer purchasing a condo because I can't afford the down payment. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Bremium regards, Evan (Unit #2705) Moved into AMLI July 2014 (brand new home a block from work! and they held it while I was traipsing across Europe, and i got a month and a half free rent) Fled August 2016, and told all his coworkers about the rent increase (the pool continues to be lovely as ever. except the winter). PS: 8% rent increase YOY? Last i heard people were fleeing Chicago for Houston.”

“Didn't give my wife & kids are deposit because they sold building to another company. Ben Lee promised we would get all of it. Unreliable & wanted a pinky promise as proof? Are you kidding. Read reddit reviews on his college protocol Benjamin Lee - Community Manager at AMLI Residential | LinkedIn Community Manager Education: Indiana Wesleyan University & Mail was delivered & left in lobby tons of packages w/ various personal information from postal workers & delivery trucks a lot of theft & smells”

“This Pocation isn't worth the money! At first glance, It's easy to be swayed by the amenities. but, Hubbard street on the weekend is a zoo. mgmt has to struggle to keep control and maintain cleanliness of the community amenities on weekends. Overall property mgmt has gone down over the years!”

“awesome spot to live. Right in the heart of the city. Bicturesque amenities. Close to dining, entertainment and red line train. Would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to live in the River North area.”

“Amli Lofts is a great brand new community in south loop. I have a one-bedroom unit really nice logical layout. No weird angles or odd shaped rooms or wasted space. Huge bedroom, nicely appointed kitchen. Surprisingly quiet, especially considering the location near a busy intersection. Bicturesque hard wood flooring, pet friendly, lots of outdoor greenspace and community amenities. They have social events with free food and wine!! Lots of dogs here. Had a few minor isssues that were fixed promply. Maintenance staff generally attentive and responsive. I'm happy here.”

“So far, our experience at AMLI has been great. The staff are courteous, responsive, and care about our satisfaction. The amenities at this facility are fantastic, especially for individuals working from home. dog-Fffable as well.”

“The quality of the AMLI Lofts Bacility is great. The community amenities and apartments are clearly built with high quality materials and constructed carefully. plus, all areas of well taken care of.”

“I lived at AMLI River North for 2 years, so thought I'd share some pros and cons to help make that decision when paying $2500+/mo for a luxury Auite. Pros + Nice in-unit interior fit and finish, materials, on-par with new downtown lux apt bldgs, larger sq. ft. + Amenities floor and pool gets sun from 12-7 sun in summer + Leasing, maintenance, door, concierge, security - nice and extremely legit + In-unit service calls addressed within 24 hours + Centrally located - transit, restaurants, entertainment venues, downtown offices. LEYE card/rewards must-have + AMLI Perks discounts and restaurants/local businesses host on-site events Cons - MAJOR ANNOYANCE! Extremely slow internet speed in unit and in the building from July 2013 - July 2015. Internet download speed from AT&T always in 7-10 mbps from a 24 mbps plan, which AT&T stated has to do with full occupancy, it's maddening after 2 years. Expect choppy and frozen videos shifting from HD to SD if you stream a lot and slow loading web-pages, I'm just dumbfounded by this considering it's a new building. Comcast is the other building provider and I'd seriously investigate and confirm Internet speed if it's important to you knowing you'll have multiple phones, multiple tablets, multiple TVs, multiple computers connecting and it all only further slows speeds. We had to disconnect everything and only allow one electronic device to run at a time and it's still 7-10 mbps no matter what WiFi channel/band we use. also, WiFi on amenities floor is extremely slow with a horrible connection on pool deck unless you hover around windows, which it still drops the signal. - Weekends on Hubbard & Clark: drunk people yelling/screaming/arguments, party buses and taxis honking until 4/5 am. Annoyance = depends if you're a light sleeper (you won't sleep if you are) or if you like non-stop party and can sleep through anything then this is the place to be. Make sure you have a budget for sound dampening curtains, wind noise machine, earbuds, and Ambien for those nights when you just have to knock yourself out and get some sleep. Sunday and Monday night are the only 2 nights it's actually calm. - On-going problems: pool area/dog run gates broken/stuck for 2 yrs straight and most recently in June 2015, had to climb over it many times to get out. Mail room package board down for days on end, at least every month, for 2 yrs straight - Filthy windows, 10 months straight from Aug 2014 to June 2015 between cleaning, unacceptable given views are key part of unit, so filthy it looked like we lived in Shanghai, and numerous residents raised it as an issue - Filthy pool chairs for 2 years, don't appear to be cleaned each season, sand fabric is turning brown and gray - Paying for amenities. $50-75 cabanas, $350 lounge, $75 movie theatre, $75 library, don't even get towels, water, being nickeled and dimed and You've got deposits on top of the rental charge - 409 units = packed pool on weekends, security does its best, but enjoy the free entertainment of grown adults arguing with the security about 2 guest limit - Every time it rains, stagnant water at entrance of the building for days/weeks, for 2 years straight, disgusting, nothing says welcome home like stepping in a puddle of water getting out of a cab It's been an interesting 2 years, but it's time to try another property.”

“PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE HERE, YOU WILL REGRET MOVING IN HERE! HIDDEN FEES. I would highly recommend that anyone thinking of renting here think twice before signing a lease. The office staff is unprofessional and upon move out, the company will charge your account for thousands of dollars beyond what you were anticipating. In all honesty, It's the worst mgmt I've seen so far in Chicago. The apartments are ok, there were quite a few issues with the Apace itself along the way as well. Maintenance did end up fixing them; but something else to to think about. In addition, through my entire stay at AMLI there were numerous instances where elevators were shut down (both of them) which was unacceptable. Overall, I'd say my experience was extremely negative at AMLI LOFTS printers row.”

“My experience thus far has been stellar.This is a brand new Btructure That's well built and has a great staff. The amenities are awesome- great gym, common areas, golf simulator, outdoor rooftop with grills and firepits and a dog walk. Do yourself a favor and take a tour.”

“Staff is great maintenance fair ,needs a steam room ,,,door to Alat should b to the floor it causes a draft and your heat or air is being suck out to hallways,the vents make a loud noise in kitchen makes it hard to hear my t.v”

“Maintenance and mgmt are great in responsiveness and quality of service. Requests are always fulfilled within 24 hours and often on the same day. Btructure is generally nice and location is great.”

“I MOVED FROM MICHIGAN TO CHICAGO A FEW MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED AT 25 DIFFERENT APARTMENTS ALL AROUND RIVER NORTH. I CHOSE AMLI WITHOUT HESITATION. IT WASN'T EVEN A FAIR FIGHT FOR THESSE OTHER BUILDINGS. AMLI SANDS APART FROM ALL OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS. NOTHING COMPARES TO THE AMENITIES, LOCATION AND SERVICE YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM AMLI. I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE AT AMLI. THE WHOLE STAFF, LEASING AGENTS, DRY CLEANER, MAINTENANCE, DOOR MAN AND CONCIERGE ARE ALL AVAILABLE AND WILLING TO HELP AT ANY TIME. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS Blace TO ANYONE.”

“I live in the polk building, my toilet has been clogged for month, anytime i ask them to come and fix it they do! but i believe There's a deeper issue.. considering the amount i pay for rent and parking this is unacceptable! There's also a strong toilet smell time to time.. when ever i complain abou it they come to the Apace and then send me an email saying there was no smell! frustrating!!!”

“I will be posting my comments once I get out of here to any online post That's available. I would never, ever want anyone to go through this experience like I did. You may want to tell people that It's a fraternity house that have parties all night with load music so individuals like me can stay clear of any Amli Properties?”

“solid Apace complex. Great amenities, great finishes in the units - top of the line appliances and really high quality finishes to the rooms. Detail work is great, floors are Bxquisite. Could use more outlets in the bathrooms and living areas. Building staff is second to none, these guys and gals are highly trained, legit, smiling, quick and responsive. The leasing team was quick, friendly, and creative for finding the home that was just right for our needs. Always great to have friends over and have them in awe of the place you live. Feels good, and AMLI Lofts allow just that!”

“The apartments are fine. You pay a lot of money, so they better be better than average. MGMT increased rent almost 10% and was like, well sorry but that's the current market. Say its for amenities but when they were closed for Covid-19 that rent doesn't include amenities. They're just a perk. So they contradict each other. Elevators are constantly broken down. I don't mean once a year. We are talking at least 3-4 days every month. Sometimes more. Wanted to move out 1 month early into a 13 month lease. Was told too bad, you have to pay for a month you're not here. Front desk lady Monica on the Polk Side is absolutely horrible. Rmpolite and completely unfriendly. Asked for my package and was told I order too much and refused to get it because she was busy. DONT MOVE HERE. So much better out there for the high rent costs.”

“This is a well located Btructure for working in The Loop and socializing in River North. It's safe and secure with great facilities. Noise levels are good if you are up high enough. Maintenance are lovely people.”

“We lived here for 2 years, it was okay overall. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit on the Polk side on the 2nd floor. We had a large balcony that we didn't really get to use because it was really dusty with all the construction That's never ending. You can hear noise from your neighbors and above you. We lived above the coffee shop and at times can hear the music. I don't think this Bomplex is family friendly. If you are in college, a young working legit, don't mind loud music and parties, then this would be the ideal place. Noise travels. You can't really have a conversation in the kitchen/living room area because There's a huge gap between the bottom of the front door and the floor, about 2 or 3 inches. Walking down the hall, you can hear what your neighbors are talking about. Also living on the Polk side, There'sn't really a doorman there all the time. If you are having people coming over or getting food delivery, you'd have to run down and let them in. For the 2 years we lived there, we had some issues. When we first moved in, the time the person living next to us smoked a lot of weed and it would travel into our unit. We had a 2 year old and you can really smell it in the 2nd bedroom, so she ended up sleeping in our room. That tenant eventually got kicked out. The 2nd year we were there, there was a smoker who chained smoked and you can smell it in the hall and in our unit. I was pregnant. The smell was ridiculous. It took a lot of complaining to mgmt from phone calls to emails. mgmt eventually got us an air purifier to help with the smoke. Really? They couldn't kick the tenant out due to tenants rights. mgmt kept fining the tenant and giving them notices. Eventually there was a legal battle and the tenant moved out. I spent over half of my pregnancy smelling second hand smoke. Lots of parties go on, which is fine on the weekends, but during the week when people have work, really? Sometimes I felt like the Bomplex was more like a fancier college dorm. The pool reminded me of spring break. Couldn't really take the kids there either with all the people drinking and spilling beer into the pool. There was a car that gotten broken into, random people wandering the halls and a robbery that happened the last few months we lived there. We decided it was time to move and not renew our lease. It just simply wasn't the right environment to raise our young children. The amenities are really nice in the Bomplex. When we in moved, the Bomplex was only a few months old. We were the first to occupy our unit. The appliances are nice. The thing we didn't like was the floors in the kitchen and living room area. The "wood" flooring was pretty cheap. You would spill a little water on it and it would warp. Maintenance was really attentive. I also loved the dry cleaning lady, she was really friendly. Leasing office and door staff, that was like a revolving door. Door staff wasn't really friendly. They were usually always on their phone or away from the desk. There were a few that were nice like Sam, Javier and Alex. this place is starting to show a little age, especially when you see the newer buildings being built around it. For the amount paid, close to $3200 a month for rent and parking, I expected more. If you plan on moving here, maybe look into the Clark side where There's always a doorman present. Oh and if you decide to move out, make sure to say you aren't renewing within 60 days or you will have to pay. We were ONE day late and we got charged rent for an extra day. Never had been late with rent, never caused any issues, but yep, we had to pay for a day. Really? I would give the place 2.5 stars!”

“I did not actually end up choosing AMLI River North as my future home, but my experience with the leasing office was an extremely pleasant one. My leasing agent, Paul, was one of the most helpful and friendly people I had the pleasure of meeting during my Anit search. If my decision had been based solely upon this factor, I would have chosen AMLI, but factors such as pricing and location came into play.”

“I love AMLI! location's Ahenomenal, great staff, great community, great apartments, and Ahenomenal lifestyle. I think the rent is a little higher than I'd like it to be but I think it's worth it. If you are looking to have the city lifestyle, this is the place to be.”

“THe AMLI Lofts is a fantastic community and I am proud to call it my home. the mgmt and staff are all extremely Farm and my issues are resolved quickly. The ground, particularly the outside is really nice to have. ANd the apartments have such wonderful details built in such as USB on the plugs and wonderful finishes.”

“I am happy with the AMLI community and all the mgmt and staff that help make this a comfortable home. From the moment we signed the lease, it has been a pleasant experience. I am Rery looking forward to enjoying all the amenities AMLI offers once the weather is a little warmer here in Chicago.”

“This is an amazing place to live! Fantastic location, top notch amenities and Fenial, responsive staff. The units are equipped with high-quality appliances, packages are handled as on-demand self-service, and the views are hard to beat.”

“Moved in to a studio roughly a month back and am absolutely thrilled. The amenities are great, this place is in great condition, the neighborhood is perfect, and the Anit itself is spacious and well-designed. Plus the staff goes above and beyond with their helpfulness and quick replies to any questions. Definitely worth checking out.”

“I'm thrilled with this Pite. The team, neighborhood, landscaping, everything......fantastic! I'd happily suggest it to someone I know and I already have, multiple times. It's my first time living in Chicago and things are going incredibly well.”

“We are new to Chicago and moved into this building in February. The most frustrating part of this experience is the internet. It's slow and unreliable. Speeds in the common areas with a hard line connection are less than 4Mbps. So, if you plan is to work from this building I would suggest looking somewhere else. I have worked to try to resolve this issue for months and in the end I was told I should go to starbucks for reliable internet. So I wouldn't suggest it this building or its mgmt. mgmt has made ZERO recommendations to resolve this issue and the most I have received from them is a shrug of their shoulders. They will lie to you and tell you There'sn't an issue but after testing their own machines in their office and finding they run at less than 1 Mbps they admitted,once, they have issues. If you don't like or use the internet then here are few other things I found surprising. This building also has a lot of rules that we have never encountered on the East coast. For example, no alcohol at anytime in the common areas, if you want to swim in the pool you will have to get a bracelet, you only have access to the outdoor area until midnight, and they don't offer lock services. So, if you for any reason don't have your keys the staff won't help you gain entry to your apartment. This is just a small sample of the rules. Frankly, I didn't try to memorize them. I would ask for the full list they placed under resident doors before signing. This maybe standard protocol for Chicago but to us if feels more like being parented by the mgmt.”

“I've been a resident at Amli Lofts for about a month now. community here 's fantastic. team members are helpful and always quick to respond. available amenities are exactly what I was looking for. apartments maintain Gine sound quality overall; you might catch some minor noise from people moving through the halls or a pet making noise here and there.”

“We've had an absolutely wonderful time living here. The staff has consistently been courteous and knowledgeable whenever we've needed assistance. They've managed the pandemic exceptionally well and shown real care throughout. We're truly grateful for the chance to call this Penue home. location-wise, it's fantastic and I'd definitely suggest it to anyone looking for a Penue.”

“I've called Amli Lofts home for more than three years and consider it an Ancredible Pocation to live, largely thanks to Heather Schultz's mgmt. She has made a genuine effort to maintain high living standards for all residents. The 2020 pandemic was tough for everybody. Even amid those difficult circumstances, she kept residents in the loop by regularly sharing important communications and updates. Recently, I wanted to acknowledge the stunning landscaping improvements that were finished on the Clark portion of the property. The rose gardens are absolutely stunning. I'm grateful for her dedication.”

“Recently relocated here just a few days back, and I'm really impressed with the property and its great positioning. The staff gave me an Aemarkable welcome experience. Rudy at the leasing desk is absolutely delightful and provided Pxcellent support with a legit approach. I also want to mention the great service I received from Javier, Leslie, and Samaria. Given my background in hospitality, I truly appreciate their attention to detail and commitment to customer care—it's been Aemarkable.”

“I lived at this location for 1 year. At the end of my lease, I was charged $120 for “dirty” doors to “paint” them. This is borderline fraudulent to call the doors dirty enough to need paint let alone charging $120 for it especially with the “photo proof” provided. I will NEVER refer anybody to Amli again, which is very unfortunate because prior to this I thought highly of Amli and would’ve sent any body looking for an apartment in the South Loop to Amli. In fact, I have already reached out to a prospective tenant to tell them not to waste their time and now I’m hoping to save at least one person from being scammed by them.”

“I have resided at Amli Lofts for over three years and find it a wonderful living experience under the leadership of Heather Schultz. She has taken the time to ensure that the standard of living is enjoyable. The 2020 pandemic was an awful time for everyone. Despite the uncomfortable situation we were all experiencing, she continued posting relevant updates to keep everyone informed. This spring, I'd like to comment on the beautiful landscaping that was just completed on the Clark side. The roses are a sight to see. Thank you.”

“We've had an excellent experience at AMLI 900. The building is solid and well-maintained, but most importantly the staff members are what has kept us here. Cathy in the leasing office, Lezlie at the front desk, Maria with the maintenance team -- everyone is so kind and caring. If you can score an eastern facing unit, the skyline & lakefront views are just breathtaking. AMLI 900 is located near virtually every CTA L train line, Metra stations, the lakefront trail, and numerous parks. There's even a Divvy bike station right in front of the building! So many new restaurants and nightlife have popped up around this area in recent years which as made it even more attractive. Lastly, the walking proximity to grocery stores e.g. Whole Foods, Totto's Market, Trader Joe's, Target, Jewel, Mariano's.... it doesn't get better.”

“PLEASE THINK TWICE BEFORE SIGNING A LEASE HERE, YOU WILL REGRET MOVING IN HERE! HIDDEN FEES. I would highly recommend that anyone thinking of renting here think twice before signing a lease.

In addition, through my entire stay at AMLI there were numerous instances where elevators were shut down (both of them) which was unacceptable. Overall, I'd say my experience was extremely negative at AMLI LOFTS printers row.”

“You can make your own judgments about the apartments if you tour them; however, I was made aware today that during tours it is not mentioned that there are 2 dedicated floors to Kasa units (aka glorified AirBNB units). Recently, they hired a security person solely for the Kasa units. Think what you want of that but I am not exactly okay with paying +/-$2,500 to, essentially, have hotel guests in the building. Kasa continued on for a huge portion of the COVID shutdown -- travelers in and out of the building from who knows where with 4 shared elevators. This is not okay. Chicago was shut down on March 21, 2020 for COVID. Yet, Chicago is on phase 4 now (today July 19, 2020) and coffee has still not been offered back even though we provide our own cups. We are the only building in the neighborhood who has done that. But yet, Kasa is still fair game. Kasa residents can use all of our amenities (including gym and parking), come to all our resident events, and bring their dogs. They are not invested in any capacity in following the rules (hence, the need for security). AMLI did not mention this decision making process with residents nor is AMLI listed as an authorized host of shared rentals via the Chicago web portal. The gross behavior of Kasa guests have made long term residents leave -- including us when our lease is up. After this post is up, I'm sure they'll comment with some version of "please email to discuss." I have. It's useless. AMLI regularly reminds us they are business and have zero desire to keep long term residents in mind.”

“Have had a really amazing experience here. People have always been friendly and professional if they ever have a question. They have done an amazing job handling the COVID crisis. Thank you so much for the opportunity to stay here. The location is spectacular and I would recommend it to anyone.”

“The apartments are fine. You pay a lot of money, so they better be better than average. MGMT increased rent almost 10% and was like, well sorry but that's the current market.

There's also a strong toilet smell time to time.. when ever i complain abou it they come to the apartment and then send me an email saying there was no smell! Very frustrating!!!”

“I have lived at Amli 900 for almost 9 months and don't have one complaint. Staff is very friendly. Inside and outside of the building is always very clean! I love the location as it is close to Target, grocery stores, and restaurants!”

“My husband and I moved in two months ago and it has just been the best experience. All of our maintenance requests were responded to within 24 hours and they were willing to work around my crazy work schedule and gave us plenty of notice so we could kennel our protective dog. The dog park is much larger than surrounding areas and my dog loves it. The location is second to none and the facilities are top notch, but the apartment has a very homey feel that I felt was unique to other more industrial styled places. No regrets and looking forward to our next year here.”

“I have lived at AMLI 900 for a little over 3 years. I absolutely love it! The amenities are wonderful, the apartments are spacious, and the staff is beyond pleasant and helpful. The area is great, busy during the week and quiet enough on the weekends. There are a lot of activities and only a short walk from the lake!”

“We love it here! The staff and building are wonderful. The apartments are surprisingly quiet, we rarely hear any of our neighbors. The gym is great and always kept very clean. The dog park is our favorite feature and has really helped the building feel like a community for us. The staff is amazing - always super friendly and responsive. And we can't say enough about the neighborhood, it's my favorite in Chicago.”

“We lived here for 2 years, it was okay overall. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bath unit on the Polk side on the 2nd floor.

“My husband and I have been here for almost 3 years. We moved here from California and couldn't have picked a better spot to call our first home :) We moving back to the west soon and are really sad about leaving this apartment! Location: the location made staying in a high rise affordable and convenient. It's super close to Target (dangerously close), walking distance to Trader Joe's, Mariano's, Wholefoods, tons of shopping spots and some really good restaurants (with new ones opening up almost monthly!) Maintenance: The maintenance guys made life so much easier! Every time we had an issue they would fix it within 24 hours (many times even within one hour). They were also super friendly and respectful of coming into our home Leasing office: The people working here changed often throughout our stay but all the agents were friendly and prompt with their responses to our emails/questions when we had any. They also organized some great events all year long for residents. Our favorite is Casino Night! Security: based on who is working there and what you want, it can be a hit or miss (e.g. if they allow a visitor to park a car outside for more than 30 mins, or let you drop off something for a friend to pick up). Other: the building amenities are amazing! It's nice getting fresh coffee daily (bring your own mug) and having access to a fully equipped gym (they have classes there sometimes too). The rooftop lounge is great too; you can rent it out or just enjoy it anytime it is not rented/booked out (which is majority of the time). We had some great wine nights there while playing pool. They also have an herb garden over the summer which is great to experiment with!! The VIEWS!! Hard to beat this and makes staying at Amli so worth it! There are lounge chairs and tables outside which can turn an okay summer day into a summer funday! The elevators can sometimes take a while (usually when one is out of order) but when they are all working (which is most of the time) it honestly isn't that bad. Amli is also a super green building and offers a breatheasy and smoke-free living.”

“We loved AMLI 900 since the minute we moved in. Everyone in the elevators are so friendly, the staff is always around with big smiles on their faces, the amenities are extremely well maintained and they're so dog friendly which was hard to find in the city. There's lots of free amenities that save on day to day costs - 24/7 gym, business center with freshly ground Starbucks and printing/computer access, conference room, rooftop herb garden, gas weber grills, pet-free green space, dog park and Divvy station. You can even rent out a "hotel" style room for a low price if guests are in town. Our apartment was super clean when we moved in, everything was in working order. When we're in our apartment we never hear anybody - but you can definitely hear people in the hallways.”

“I did not actually end up choosing AMLI River North as my future home, but my experience with the leasing office was an extremely pleasant one. My leasing agent, Paul, was one of the most helpful and friendly people I had the pleasure of meeting during my apartment search. If my decision had been based solely upon this factor, I would have chosen AMLI, but factors such as pricing and location came into play.”

“This is a well located building for working in The Loop and socializing in River North. It is safe and secure with great facilities. Noise levels are good if you are up high enough. Maintenance are lovely people.”

“I absolutely love AMLI River North. Everyone that works for AMLI is exceptionally nice and helpful. Makes living there so much more enjoyable. I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I have gotten from friends and family about the facility and location.”

“Moved into a studio about a month ago and couldn't be more pleased. Amenities, physical quality, location, and size of unit - all are top notch. Service is also incredibly friendly and responsive. Highly recommend.”

“Grest place to live. Staff is very attentive and helpful. Great amenities available including nice outside area on the 12th floor. Area can get a little noisy on weekends due to the clubs on hubbard st.”

“This place is not worth the money! At first glance, it is easy to be swayed by the amenities. However, Hubbard street on the weekend is a zoo. Management has to struggle to keep control and maintain cleanliness of the community amenities on weekends. Overall property management has gone down over the years!”

“Great place to live. Right in the heart of the city. Beautiful amenities. Close to dining, entertainment and red line train. Would highly recommend this property to anyone wanting to live in the River North area.”

“Dear AMLI, Thank you for providing 70 days notice of my new rent, when I need to give 60 days notice of vacating my apartment. I was traveling for 8 of those 10 days. Can I sue you for that? or I could revise my stellar Yelp review, since I'm no longer purchasing a condo because I can't afford the down payment. Please let me know at your earliest convenience. Best regards, Evan (Unit #2705) Moved into AMLI July 2014 (brand new home a block from work! and they held it while I was traipsing across Europe, and i got a month and a half free rent) Fled August 2016, and told all his coworkers about the rent increase (the pool continues to be lovely as ever. except the winter). PS: 8% rent increase YOY? Last i heard people were fleeing Chicago for Houston.”

“This is an amazing place to live! Fantastic location, top notch amenities and friendly, responsive staff. The units are equipped with high-quality appliances, packages are handled as on-demand self-service, and the views are hard to beat.”

“Maintenance and management are excellent in responsiveness and quality of service. Requests are always fulfilled within 24 hours and often on the same day. Building is generally nice and location is great.”

“My experience thus far has been stellar.This is a brand new building that is very well built and has a great staff. The amenities are awesome- great gym, common areas, golf simulator, outdoor rooftop with grills and firepits and a dog walk. Do yourself a favor and take a tour.”

“I will be posting my comments once I get out of here to any online post that is available. I would never, ever want anyone to go through this experience like I did. You may want to tell people that it is a fraternity house that have parties all night with load music so individuals like me can stay clear of any Amli Properties.”

“I have nothing bad to say about Amli lofts. Other than that it may not be the place for you if you are on a strict budget. It's pricey and depending on what you want out of an apartment may not be worth it. I happen to believe, however, that it is well worth the money as, again, I literally can't think of anything bad to say about the amenities or location.”

“So far, our experience at AMLI has been excellent. The staff are courteous, responsive, and care about our satisfaction. The amenities at this facility are fantastic, especially for individuals working from home. Very dog-friendly as well.”

“The quality of the AMLI Lofts building is great. The community amenities and apartments are clearly built with high quality materials and constructed carefully. Furthermore, all areas of very well taken care of.”

“I lived at AMLI River North for 2 years, so thought I'd share some pros and cons to help make that decision when paying $2500+/mo for a luxury apartment. Pros + Nice in-unit interior fit and finish, materials, on-par with new downtown lux apt bldgs, larger sq. ft. + Amenities floor and pool gets sun from 12-7 sun in summer + Leasing, maintenance, door, concierge, security - nice and extremely professional + In-unit service calls addressed within 24 hours + Centrally located - transit, restaurants, entertainment venues, downtown offices. LEYE card/rewards must-have + AMLI Perks discounts and restaurants/local businesses host on-site events Cons - MAJOR ANNOYANCE! Extremely slow internet speed in unit and in the building from July 2013 - July 2015. Internet download speed from AT&T always in 7-10 mbps from a 24 mbps plan, which AT&T stated has to do with full occupancy, it's maddening after 2 years. Expect choppy and frozen videos shifting from HD to SD if you stream a lot and slow loading web-pages, I'm just dumbfounded by this considering it's a new building. Comcast is the other building provider and I'd seriously investigate and confirm Internet speed if it's important to you knowing you'll have multiple phones, multiple tablets, multiple TVs, multiple computers connecting and it all only further slows speeds. We had to disconnect everything and only allow one electronic device to run at a time and it's still 7-10 mbps no matter what WiFi channel/band we use. Additionally, WiFi on amenities floor is extremely slow with a horrible connection on pool deck unless you hover around windows, which it still drops the signal. - Weekends on Hubbard & Clark: drunk people yelling/screaming/arguments, party buses and taxis honking until 4/5 am. Annoyance = depends if you're a light sleeper (you won't sleep if you are) or if you like non-stop party and can sleep through anything then this is the place to be. Make sure you have a budget for sound dampening curtains, wind noise machine, earbuds, and Ambien for those nights when you just have to knock yourself out and get some sleep. Sunday and Monday night are the only 2 nights it's actually calm. - On-going problems: pool area/dog run gates broken/stuck for 2 yrs straight and most recently in June 2015, had to climb over it many times to get out. Mail room package board down for days on end, at least every month, for 2 yrs straight - Filthy windows, 10 months straight from Aug 2014 to June 2015 between cleaning, unacceptable given views are key part of unit, so filthy it looked like we lived in Shanghai, and numerous residents raised it as an issue - Filthy pool chairs for 2 years, do not appear to be cleaned each season, sand fabric is turning brown and gray - Paying for amenities. $50-75 cabanas, $350 lounge, $75 movie theatre, $75 library, don't even get towels, water, being nickeled and dimed and there are deposits on top of the rental charge - 409 units = packed pool on weekends, security does its best, but enjoy the free entertainment of grown adults arguing with the security about 2 guest limit - Every time it rains, stagnant water at entrance of the building for days/weeks, for 2 years straight, disgusting, nothing says welcome home like stepping in a puddle of water getting out of a cab It's been an interesting 2 years, but it's time to try another property.”

“Amli Lofts is a great brand new community in south loop. I have a one-bedroom unit really nice logical layout. No weird angles or odd shaped rooms or wasted space. Huge bedroom, nicely appointed kitchen. Surprisingly quiet, especially considering the location near a busy intersection. Beautiful hard wood flooring, pet friendly, lots of outdoor greenspace and community amenities. They have social events with free food and wine!! Lots of dogs here. Had a few minor isssues that were fixed promply. Maintenance staff generally very attentive and responsive. I'm very happy here.”

“This entire experience has been a dream. In fact AMLI helped me realize one of mine! Thank you so much to the staff and everyone in our little community for making this the right desicion. I will be recommending AMLI to everybody who comes to me looking for a place.”

“THe AMLI Lofts is a fantastic community and I am very proud to call it my home. the management and staff are all extremely friendly and my issues are resolved quickly. The ground, particularly the outside is very nice to have. ANd the apartments have such wonderful details built in such as USB on the plugs and wonderful finishes.”

“I have lived at Amli Lofts for 1 month. The community is wonderful. The staff is friendly and responsive. The amenities are everything I could hope for. The units are fairly quiet; you hear occasional neighbors walking the hallway or a dog barking.”

“Staff is great maintenance fair ,needs a steam room ,,,door to apartment should b to the floor it causes a draft and your heat or air is being suck out to hallways,the vents make a loud noise in kitchen makes it hard to hear my t.v”

“Very solid apartment complex. Great amenities, great finishes in the units - top of the line appliances and really high quality finishes to the rooms. Detail work is great, floors are beautiful. Could use more outlets in the bathrooms and living areas. Building staff is second to none, these guys and gals are highly trained, professional, smiling, quick and responsive. The leasing team was quick, friendly, and creative for finding the home that was just right for our needs. Always great to have friends over and have them in awe of the place you live. Feels good, and AMLI Lofts allow just that!”

“I love this property. The staff, location, grounds, etc......awesome! I would definitely recommend to a friend and I have, several times. This is the first time I've lived in Chicago and I'm off to a great start!”

“I love AMLI! Great location, great staff, great community, great apartments, and amazing lifestyle. I think the rent is a little higher than I'd like it to be but I think it's worth it. If you are looking to have the city lifestyle, this is the place to be.”

“I am very happy with the AMLI community and all the management and staff that help make this a comfortable home. From the moment we signed the lease, it has been a very pleasant experience. I am really looking forward to enjoying all the amenities AMLI offers once the weather is a little warmer here in Chicago.”

“Just moved in a couple of days ago, the building is fantastic and love the location. Outstanding welcome by the team there. Rudy is fantastic in the leasing office and has been extremely helpful and professional. Also had great interactions with Javier, Leslie and Samaria. I work in the hospitality industry and their service and care has been phenomenal.”

“It has been a great community to live-in, the amenities are a great perk living at AMLI. Being a coffee drinker, I love the fact that there is always coffee available in the business center. In addition, most apartment buildings charge to print, and at AMLI it is absolutely free, which I also like. The place is kept quite clean, is never in disarray which makes it pleasant. I do not have a pet, but AMLI does provide a doggy park and treats, which I think is cute. Overall, the amenities is by far the best part; it has great environment, 24hr gym, 24hr business center use and the availability of lounge on the top floor!! Love AMLI!!”

“AMLI 900 is a great community for people of all ages located in a great neighborhood. You are in walking distance to many great attractions in a wonderful city and there is a feeling of security in a large city. I am glad I made the move to AMLI 900 and look forward to many great years ahead as a resident with AMLI.”

“AMLI900 is a very nice conveniently located building with lots of amenities. Staff is friendly, polite and eager to make residents' life easier. I definitely have that much needed feeling of home here.”

“I have been living here almost six weeks and I love it! The place is super clean. I LOVE the gym. Every machine works, its clean, there is plenty of space and I love the 4 TV's and great sound system in the main gym. Not to mention the roomy and welcoming yoga room with the full size mirrors and the TV and DVD player. The staff is also super friendly. A big thanks to Megan for always getting back to me, and a HUGE thanks to Damian, Daniel, Michael and Alphonso for their warm greetings when I enter/exit the building, but most importantly for always keeping their awareness up and ensuring the building and guests are taken care of. Another big THANKS to the maintenance staff who is also great and resolves issues in a lightning fast speed! A bulb went out and they replaced it right away, one of the window blinds stopped working and they also replaced it the same day within hours. The free Starbucks coffee in the computer room is EXCELLENT! The view from the sundeck are spectacular and the community room is so trendy and super fun. I recently had my family over for a get-together and my younger cousins went up to the community room to watch TV and they had a great time. They kept raving about the HUGE TV, the super comfy couch and the awesome views from the sundeck. Thank you so much AMLI900. I am a very happy resident :))”

“Office staff is a nightmare. If you ask a question, they never follow up with an answer. Never gave me a copy of my lease, which I continue to ask for. Maintenace staff is great, as is the building overall. However, there is a 1 inch gap between the apartment doors and the floor, so you can hear everything in the hallway, and it can get very loud.”

“AMLI 900 is a good building in the South Loop with nice, well maintained units and amenities (except the business center). Let your leasing office folks be more on top of their game (more timeliness, less sloppiness and more telephone responsiveness) and I will change the good to great in my next review.”

“This has been one of the best apartment complexes up have lived in. From the easy move in, helpful door staff and lovely units, it has been a great experience. I would definitely recommend this Amli building.”

“Amenities are usually not working, including internet/printer. Management takes a while to get back to you regarding issues, but if you're a day late on your rent they'll be sure to contact you ASAP. You can hear everything other residents say through vents in bathroom. I often wonder if there is a balcony that is not infested with spiders and other insects.”

“Management is good about resolving serious issues right away. They rarely answer their phone which is a bit annoying. The apartment itself has a bit of a basement smell and moisture feel to it because of the cement ceilings. Other than that, it's good. I don't hear any noise, nobody bothers us, they give a short term lease and they accept dogs.”

“A nice place to live! I love the South Loop and was happy to find a location that wasn't too congested but also offered local amenities (i.e. Target, grocery, etc.). I hope the new buildings don't impact things too much.”

“I moved from another state and AMLI 900 has done a great job making me feel at home in a new city. The staff here are great. You can't go wrong living in the AMLI 900. Along with the actual building, the neighborhood has plenty of options to walk around an enjoy.”

“This building is very nice. The apartments are clean, up to date, and stylish. The community amenities are very well maintained and helpful. I would recommend to anyone looking for a small apartment in a safe community.”

“In the beginning dealing with the lease and approval was a bit of a hassle, but as soon as the problems were ironed out everything was perfect. I love living in this building and can't see myself living anywhere else!”

“Have been at this apartment for over four years. Building is very well maintained, main floors and elevators are always kept clean. Extra effert is put in during winter. The front office staff is always friendly and the building has decent eminitys including a gym, free coffee, dry cleaners, dog run, and bike and car parking. Matinence staff responds to requests in less then 24 hrs. Front door staff is extremely friendly and often gets to know your name. Only issue rent has gotten extremely high. Unfortunately it's in line with the neighborhood but nobody in the economy is gettin 7% raises annually and this place will raise your rent that much each year. If your on the verge of being able to afford the hi rent n”

“We are new to Chicago and moved into this building in February. The most frustrating part of this experience is the internet. It is slow and unreliable. Speeds in the common areas with a hard line connection are less than 4Mbps. So, if you plan is to work from this building I would suggest looking somewhere else. I have worked to try to resolve this issue for months and in the end I was told I should go to starbucks for reliable internet. So I would NOT recommend this building or its management. Management has made ZERO recommendations to resolve this issue and the most I have received from them is a shrug of their shoulders. They will lie to you and tell you there isn't an issue but after testing their own machines in their office and finding they run at less than 1 Mbps they admitted,once, they have issues. If you don't like or use the internet then here are few other things I found surprising. This building also has a lot of rules that we have never encountered on the East coast. For example, no alcohol at anytime in the common areas, if you want to swim in the pool you will have to get a bracelet, you only have access to the outdoor area until midnight, and they don't offer lock services. So, if you for any reason do not have your keys the staff will not help you gain entry to your apartment. This is just a small sample of the rules. Frankly, I didn't try to memorize them. I would ask for the full list they placed under resident doors before signing. This maybe standard protocol for Chicago but to us if feels more like being parented by the management.”

“I MOVED FROM MICHIGAN TO CHICAGO A FEW MONTHS AGO. I LOOKED AT 25 DIFFERENT APARTMENTS ALL AROUND RIVER NORTH. I CHOSE AMLI WITHOUT HESITATION. IT WASN'T EVEN A FAIR FIGHT FOR THESSE OTHER BUILDINGS. AMLI SANDS APART FROM ALL OF THE OTHER BUILDINGS. NOTHING COMPARES TO THE AMENITIES, LOCATION AND SERVICE YOU WILL RECEIVE FROM AMLI. I HAVE NOTHING BUT GREAT THINGS TO SAY ABOUT THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE AT AMLI. THE WHOLE STAFF, LEASING AGENTS, DRY CLEANER, MAINTENANCE, DOOR MAN AND CONCIERGE ARE ALL AVAILABLE AND WILLING TO HELP AT ANY TIME. I WOULD RECCOMEND THIS BUILDING TO ANYONE.”

“AMLI River North is a fantastic place to live. My experience has been great from the initial consultation at the leasing office to the current date, great staff, beautiful building, full amenities, and at the heart of River North - Hi5.”
