Had to move out of condo so rented a place for a few months at The Joseph Arnold Lofts. The front desk people were nice enough, but one of the two elevators was broken for most of my stay and several times both were.
The utilities were outrageously expensive and "allocated" and collected by Thrive - and my condo is a block away so I know how much these things really cost.
The kitchen and bathroom were cosmetically fine but the functional equivalent of a Betty Crocker stove, a fridge from a broken down RV, and a Motel 6 bath suite.
Also, we signed a contract that included access to the gym, the roof deck with barbecues, and several other amenities. Even before the pandemic many of them were down for days or weeks for "maintenance" with nothing actually being done, other than cost cutting. Once the pandemic hit, everything was shut down right away, including the roof deck. No doubt Thrive was taking tax breaks and SBA loans but did the tenants, who were also paying for those amenities, see any return? Of course not.
Oh yes, in the 6 short months we were there, the bill changed several times, our final statement had random charges and corrections with no explanations and I'm pretty sure the accounting team watched the wrong Quicken video on YouTube.
In short, if you are staying at a Thrive property, you won't be thriving for long.
