        Moving to theory was such a great decision. Location, price point, luxury build, and safety. I toured at least 15 places, so my decision was definitely worth it. Thank you to the management team and special shout out to Kaida and Bea. Kaida single handedly sold me on the tiniest apartment I would have never saw myself in. It’s PERFECT just for me and my little fur child. You won’t regret moving here. Just like any new construction buildings there will be few issues but those do not trump the ...
        beautiful experience you will have living here.
