I wrote to Breamar (the
management company for Alexandra
Tower) in the last couple
of weeks and here are some excerpts from that email:
As we know, it’s pretty
much two years to the week that Thomson and Moulton were relieved as managing
agents and if I had to put money on the next outcome, it will be that Zolfo
will once again pin the blame on the managing agent and move on without making
good on the promises they made 4 years ago? This helps nobody and to be honest,
I’m sick to death of Zolfo dodging the issue.
It just seems as though
there has been a shift towards a different kind of tenant now, from
professional / working people, in need of parking spaces to students who
couldn’t really care about the building (and its problems) and have no need for
parking either. Two birds one stone so to speak.
This is now 4 years of
unresolved issues and despite the assurances from Zolfo that “what ever is
necessary will be done” (re the car lifts) some 3 years ago I’m sure you can
understand my scepticism? Same with the safety of the glass cladding which is unofficially
safe, but yet the unsightly safety scaffolding is still in place two years on?
As such, in respect of
parking, I now park my car a mile away at a friend’s whom has a space but no car
because I have no faith in the car lifts
Having to park my car a mile away isnt acceptable and low and behold, the first time I use the parking space I am paying for at the building, last weekend and one of the lifts was out so same shit, different day is a phrase that speak to mind with this building.
In answer to a comment today "is it still worth avoiding this building?" I would say that the building has so much potential is in a great location but the people behind the scenes clearly dont give a shit about the quality of the building. Zolfo had not made good on a single promise they made 3 years ago and it seems, are more than happy to have a revolving door of tenants and not look to spend money on improving the building and look to build long term tenants.
If I had a choice of moving in to this building today I wouldnt move in but circumstances mean I cant really move just yet
