This is a fly-by video of a rendering with no details on the interior finishes or quality of the build out. I mean the amenity deck is sizable, but it is also built for 765 residents. The gallery on The Standard's website is probably a better source to grade the quality of this build out. In this case, they have granite counters with pictures showing a mix of under mount and over mount sinks. Over mount is rarely ever done in new builds, only in projects done with laminate counters, which are not done in new, market rate construction. Granite is also a step down from the quartz typically used in new construction. The interior pictures also show a low-level appliance package that, while stainless, is about as low quality as you can get. The range is an electric coil, which again, is rare in new construction as most at the minimum will do the smooth tops. The cabinets, the LVT, the carpet, the lighting package - all very low quality, entry-level sort of stuff for new construction.
I'm not saying its bad, but for what people are building these days, this is very, very low comparably. It would be hard to comment on the amenities as they aren't done and so it would be difficult to discuss their quality. They definitely have quantity on their side, which cool, but they also have a ton of people. Outside of the golf simulator and tanning services, they are all standard looking amenities, and the renderings do not indicate that they'll be on par, in terms of quality (construction & design), with new Class A towers.
Anyways, still nice for students, better than being in old dorms. There is a reason these things lease up.
