Did Coast cheap out on its apartment finishes?

I haven’t visited the new Coast rental tower yet, but I’ve been hearing negative feedback about the apartment finishes from people in the industry.

“Terrible,” was the one-word summary from the manager of a nearby apartment high-rise.

A real estate broker active in the rental market had this to say: “They cut every cost they could. It’s like walking through a college dorm.”

If Coast’s recent announcement of a record-setting leasing pace is accurate, the quality of the finishes wouldn’t appear to be weighing heavily with renters.
