The organization signed me under the written expectation that the entirety of the amenities would be completed at my move in during October 2024. To the contrary, 1001 only managed to achieve the advertised standards (expected at move-in) on September 2025, nearly an entire year after their originally claimed dates...
The leasing office even held a fake pool grand opening on August 15th, 2024, which led me to sign and ultimately be deceived. As it turned out, the pool wasn't even licensed at that time...and was drained around November 2024 for over a month, as they awaited legal approval from the city of Philadelphia. Then, to make matters worse, even once they reopened it, they only heated it to a chilling 73 degrees. It was only until a "sufficient number of residents moved in" (to justify them actually heating it) this July 2025 that they began heating the pool to a "swimmable" 82 degrees. Until then, it remained entirely unusable despite numerous complaints.
For the record, before the amenities were mostly completed in September 2025, there were a total of ten (10) long delays sent via email from the leasing office staff. Never a bulk credit to the tenants for the inconvenience due. Never an apology. A preference towards silence from the leasing office...
Now, comes the many actual issues with my living quarters:
-When I moved into the unit, there was literally a mosquito problem for the first three weeks I lived there. I have no idea where they came from or how they got in, but it took chemical sprays and a decent amount of time for them to go away entirely.
-The original shower they had in my unit was built improperly, and was leaking from the basin into the hallway. Aside from them doing the quality assurance to make sure the shower was complete before move-in, nearly every shower of my neighbors experienced the same failures... Instead of being immediately willing to help, they spent around two (2) months trying to act like the shower wasn't actually leaking, despite a massive amount of visible water, before ultimately having to tear apart the wall inside my apartment to entirely rebuild the shower due to contractor failures. Not only did this force me to leave my property and travel for an entire week while they did the repair, but also left visible irreparable damage to the look of my wall as you exit the apartment due to a mediocre paint job.
-The roller blinds within the units are extremely low quality, and do not block the sun from blinding you in any capacity.
-My electric bill/meter keeps overbilling a continuous 5A phantom power draw, even when I'm out of town, that needs resolved.
-The hot tubs have gone down for maintenance around four (4) times throughout the last year, and otherwise the chemicals have been so out of balance, that it has literally caused one of my swimsuits to nearly fade to white/yellow (from brown/green) and tear/disintegrate.
-The contractors broke a window beneath my unit in November 2024. With this window broken, sound leaks from the Canopy Club and echoes into my apartment unit. This has had a super negative impact on my quality of life, because you just hear every time someone is using the grills or being loud outside. I have desperately tried to get them to replace this window, but for some reason, the 1001 team cannot order a replacement window over the course of an entire year...
I have incurred over twelve thousand (+$12,000) worth of damages to date. They rushed their product to market, lied about the expectations, and ultimately deceived my pocketbook... However, I can say that the front desk staff, security, and cleaning labor are top notch, but the same cannot be said about the leasing office or their team of contractors building the development. Unfortunately, many other tenants have had similar experiences, and they have typically shown disregard for responding to most tenants in a timely manner...
