NO Chicago

This place is to die for. It is so worth it to live here. Every single day feels like you are living at a hotel. The amenities are state of the art. The apartments are beautifully designed and spacious. You can tell they put so much thought into every aspect of the building. It is technologically advanced. Gym has everything. Views are beautiful. I could go on. Don’t hesitate to sign that lease EDIT: Changing my Review from 5 to 1 star. After living here for 1.5 years. There somethings that I feel affect the QOL experience here at NEMA 1. The elevators: The elevators at NEMA have got to have one of the worst wait times. 15 mins+ Also get ready to be packed in an elevator like sardines. I had to walk 24 flights of stairs from the 4th floor because all the elevators coming up was full To add, I have had to climb 28 floors to get to my car in the morning because none of the elevators decided to work making me late for work numerous times. Absolutely ridiculous. They don’t seem to care either 2. The hallway does not have AC so it can get muggy and stink from all the heat 3. Internet gets throttled and can get slow 4. Pear chef: the buildings own food service has overpriced and very low quality food. 5. The building was built in 2019 but the hallways already look like an old apartment with wood chipping, paint peeling 6. We have had our appliances break multiple times in our first year here. Our freezer ice maker and the garbage disposal button is so badly placed it get a water stuck in there and then stops working 7. For the love of God this place cannot get their stupid garage gates to work. I don’t know whose brilliant idea was it to add another gate at the 5th floor. That stupid thing has a mind of its own and never opens making me late for work. It’s so stupid. $300 per month parking and it’s driving me crazy

Would not recommend living here. Building seems nice at first glance but there are actually a lot of issues. The leasing office staff is tough to deal with, my key fob stopped working on a Friday so I got to the office right before they closed and they told me they were heading out for the day and to come back on Monday, leaving me without a key for the entire weekend. I was told to just go to the front desk every time I needed to enter my apartment or use the elevator for a one time pass. Good luck getting an email response back from the leasing off, and if you call them by phone they will say they will get back to you but never do. The neighborhood is awful, lots of crime, a stray bullet actually hit my window (picture attached) and it took approximately 6 months for them to replace the window. I was not given any concessions and they made no effort to have it replaced in a timely manner, just saying that they “didn’t have the replacement window yet”. Elevators are always broken or incredibly slow, sometimes it would take 10-15 minutes just for one to show up. Internet was slow and they use a mesh system that is a hassle to connect to. Gym is nice but the golf simulator was either broken or in disrepair for 90% of the three years that I lived there. When my girlfriend was using the gym with her friend, on more than one occasion we received emails from the building threatening to break our lease because we can’t bring in outside personal trainers (which they were not). The pool only allows you to bring 2 guests on the weekend, which is insane given the amount that the building charges to live there. Not worth the premium to live in this building, and not even a nice neighborhood to make up for the other negatives. Highly recommend going somewhere else where they actually care about their tenants.

I had an amazing experience at NEMA! The location is breathtaking, with water views and a dog-friendly full amenity complex. The concierge was so hospitable and the leasing team was incredibly helpful. Natalie was an absolute gem and listened to my preferences and showed me around the building. She even helped find me the perfect unit that wasn’t even on the market yet and got me the best price for it. I was so impressed by the level of service and attention to detail that the team at NEMA provided. They went above and beyond to make sure that I was aware of all available options. They have kept me updated throughout the process and have worked diligently to secure me the best price for my dream apartment. I highly recommend NEMA to anyone looking for a dog-friendly, full amenity luxury building in a great location with amazing views. You won’t be disappointed!

This building has always been on my list and I am very happy that I live here now. I've only lived here for a couple of months, but I've already made a lot of friends. NEMA’s amenities is the best in Chicago. We have everything here. Special thanks I want to say to Natalie, because she is big professional and big heart. She is always supportive and kind. She helps me to make my dreams come true 🪄

I absolutely love living here! I moved into a new unit a couple of months ago and it has been great so far. This place has it all. I personally love the indoor pool and the outside hot tubs the most. I am very much looking forward to winter season here! Special thanks to Natalie in leasing who made my move so effortlessly and Aundrea for helping me with a few app issues I had and spent time showing me how navigate the app! These girls have been so helpful and welcoming. I highly recommend NEMA!
