Parc Place Now Rector Place: Everything this writer has written is past tense. Yes there are some rough spots when a building first exchange s hands. Construction goes on and things may not be pleasant for a while. Everyone knew this was coming and they had a choice deal with it or leave. If it were so bad to live there why did the people fight to stay? Oh and by the way, they won. Times were changing and the out dated apartments at Parc Place were losing money. In order to keep up with the market something had to be done. Related sold the building to a company that saw a way to bring the building up to the new market. Their answer was Condo s. This meant renovation s throughout the building this includes most of the apartments and all of the Hallways also the pool, Gym, lobby and the roof. I can t imagine anyone would think all this could be done without any inconvenience. I myself am living through it and it may not always be easy. I see it as a short term inconvenience. Reason is I'm well aware of what the finished product will look like when it's all over. The building is now condos and when it's finished it's going to be one of the best in Battery Park. The staff is very courteous and friendly, they know the residence by name. They continue to maintain the building to the best of their abilities during this period. I hope the person that wrote the poor review will stop by to see what they missed out on. I m glad I stuck though it.

It's hard to tell whether the review criticizing this building's service was written by a real resident or some competitor. In any case, it is 100% wrong. We (a married couple) negotiated with the building for the right to remain in our apartment during the time that construction was taking place, in no small part because we were so happy with the service. To a person, the building staff -- from the gentlemen who removed our trash and cleaned the building every day, to the extremely professional and kind concierges, to the resident manager -- made us feel like we were living in a "home," not just an apartment, every single day. Was the construction process a pain in the butt? Yes. Were some amenities necessarily (and temporarily) affected, such as roof access and the exercise room? Of course; that's what happens when you choose to live in a 24 story building during major reconstruction. But chose to do so we did, and we did so primarily because we appreciated the staff so much. It was a decision well made.
