Pen Viewings?

I think they mean 'open'.

I'd love to know what time on the 18th the building will be open for moving in... anyone heard anything?

If anyone is going to the open day tomorrow can they take photos of the sample apartments?!

I will take as much as I can and post them here!

Thanks guys!

Interested in the door lock (nerd) and smart thermostat (even nerdier) if ye could take a look

ok I love nerd things too!

Ok guys. It looks AMAZING. You can tell everything is high quality and for once, you can tell they treat the tenants as human beings and that even though we are just renting a place, we still deserve good quality furniture and appliances. (crazy right, usually landlords think we eat from the bin )

There were a LOT of people and it was not easy to take pictures but there you go.
4 appartments were open to viewings, one of each category (Standard, Plus and Premium), 3 beds. Plus a penthouse on the top floor (which has a terrace the size of a football pitch )

I'm SO looking forward to moving in now. Someome from Vesta told me they're expecting 30 movings in the same week, it's going to be total chaos I'm sure and we'll have to fight for the lift

I've put all the photos in a photo album here (I just realised I don't have a photo of the main bathroom sorry, it has a tub)

Thanks so much for the photos! Looking forward to April now!

Everything looks great! Good quality I'm just worried only one building has gym, cinema and all the other things...it will be chaotic only that place for everybody, it will be really crowdy I thought every building will have it. Kind disappointed about that. Anybody think the same?

I know what you mean but I think it would have been over the top to have facilities in each block. I'm lucky as my appartment is in the same block (being freelance, I will definitely use the working space)
What I don't fully get is the "community kitchen". Is it for people having parties with their friends to avoid bothering neighbours (which would be a great idea) or is it for parties with residents only (could be nice too)
No idea how it's going to be used.... I've never seen that anywhere else

Very useful info,as we thought that it was a scam as we couldn't believe that with normal rent price you can have such a great apartment. To tell the truth,we were afraid to apply on line and deposit money in a "no face" website. Especially if you're in Dublin,scams are daily phenomenon!
So, as now we saw that it is real does anyone know if they will have one or two bedroom apartment available in March?

I totally understand and so far I got nothing "real" after I paid deposit + first rent... but it IS a real building for sure! I'll be happy once I get my lease back...

I really wouldn't worry - you only pay the deposit and first months rent after signing a lease and they are a registered company - it's not like you're sending a couple of K to a random account

All their contact details are online with office addresses etc.

I was like you until I actually send 3k to a random account :D:D The minute after I clicked "send", I was like "what the **** did I just do", hahahah
But you're right of course, I've made a bit of research as well. But.... I really want my lease signed back and an actual confirmation that I'm not homeless in 2 weeks. Nothing major

Interesting development. Is it coming online in stages or all at once? There website mentions other locations too, does anyone know where?

It's coming in stages, there are at least 4 other blocks still under construction.
As for the other locations, that's actually the first question I asked and the reply was: "We are unable to provide information on the next location that will be available at this time but we will email you as soon as we can."

One concern I have is there are no road crossings. I wonder when will they come up. Children might face problem at school time, to cross the road.

Other thing is the microwave looked puny, with knobs etc. Expected a better one. And there was no dish drainer plate fitted on the counter top.

Overall I'm not impressed by kitchen. Bedrooms are good and location was superb.

wow I don't know what kind of kitchen you had in the past I always had **** ovens (cheapest possible) that don't cook properly, same for microwaves and fridges (always the same cheap landlord brand: Beko)... and I've never had a dishwasher in my life. Because it seems we don't deserve anything good when we're renting :mad: So I'm super impressed by the kitchen myself. So much counter space and cupboards!

Due to the fact I'm a new user boards.ie is not allowing me to post photos or links.
Hence I cannot share photos of the gym and common areas. If you want ping me and I'll send you the link/photos privately.
Yesterday they told me the digital keys are not in place yet, so we should receive an email with the available times to get the physical keys on our move in date.
Anyway, everthing was as on the website and I'm looking forward to move in on 18th, the only complain is related to the gym size.

Hey guys,
Thanks for all the useful info.
I have just one question about the contract.
Once you have already transferred the money, when are you supposed to receive the contract from the company?
I am just asking because you are supposed to move in 10 days and still didn't receive any contract?

Yup. Money transferred on the 4th. Moving on the 18th, and still no contract or any confirmation whatsoever. Can't wait to tell you everything's alright!
