Cons

High Monthly Association Fee: The association fee of $767.95 is substantial and represents a significant ongoing monthly expense for potential buyers.
Multi-level Layout: As a three-floor loft, the property requires frequent use of stairs, which may not be suitable for buyers with mobility challenges or those preferring single-level living.
Potential for Urban Noise: Its prime location in a bustling commercial and entertainment district, while convenient, may expose residents to higher levels of urban noise.
