Knightsbridge Residences

My 10 months of living here was great, and I felt like I got really good value for money. I am only writing this review, because this is now the 6th week that drilling has been continuing 3 floors above my unit. They literally put a construction site on the top floor, and the renters paying the highest rent have to live in their units with ear plugs. My agent has already lost several clients due to the noise. I have lost plenty of sleep, and weeks of lost work (I work in my unit) due to the noise. In the top units the noise goes up to 90 db.

As well, if you live on the lower floors facing the gramercy you will be continuously woken up at night from the 24/7 construction next door. Many people in the building shower with no heat, cause the water heater tanks die after 6 months, and good luck getting engineering to fix anything. I had to shower in the dark for 3 months, because it took engineering 6 visits and months of intense complaining to management to fix the lighting in my bathroom. The finally did only to have some of those lights go out again a month later. The concierge team is really good and attentive, security is good and amenities are pretty good. The views from the units are amazing, and you get pretty good value for that.....that is until you need to get management involved. There are some small things management has acted on, for example extending the time the dining room is open until. However building a restaurant on the top floor for the past 2 months without providing any compensation, right above your highest paying customers is extremely inconsiderate and really shows where upper managements priorities are. I would discourage buying a unit from century properties, especially Knightsbridge. If you rent however, I recommend getting a short term lease.

The MM Yu painting in the lobby caught my eye as well as the other decors. The guards and concierge were very courteous but I noticed that there was high foot traffic in the lobby as well as outside the building. The units were spacious and well-built. Fittings were modern and clean. Nothing fancy. The large windows allowed enough light to enter the room. I haven't visited the amenities but I heard they have one of the best. I like that It's conveniently a stroll away from Century City Mall, a place where foodies would love to hang out, given the unique restaurants and cafés.

I liked that there's a designated key card for residents, which reinforces the safety of the people staying in the building. There are also various amenities that you can use including the library and game room. I also liked that the mall is a few steps away from the condo. There's a lot of shops and restaurants nearby. However, am not really a fan of the dreary and narrow hallway. Not sure, too, if the exterior building gets cleaned regularly. The windows were dirty and you can see thick dust coating it.
