The Sail Cloth Factory

Pros: Safe location. Maintenance requests addressed promptly. Luxer package lockers are safe and convenient. Option for loft style apartments with nice high ceilings. Pet-friendly. Cons: Required valet parking is a significant downside. My car has been damaged by them multiple times. Management is very inflexible with leasing issues. To break your lease, you must provide 90 days notice, pay a penalty of 2 months rent, then continue to pay an additional 3 months rent unless they can lease it sooner. They also make it difficult and inconvenient to lease for less than a year. Month to month leases are double the cost of a year long rental. They also typically do not offer the option to renew for shorter periods like 6 months. Management frequently sends out emails that are somewhat unprofessional. My experience has been ok overall, but it is probably worthwhile to pay a little more to live in a more upscale building with professional management staff.

The property management is a MESS and they are rude to tenants when they are the ones who don't want to or can't perform their job (maintenance, communication, building issues, etc). Just waiting out the lease to move out asap because nobody wants to sublease here and I've been searching for 2 months to leave. Don't rent here.

They have a tenant rule book that is not part of the lease. The use it to change the rules after you have signed your lease.

Sailcloth loft changed these rules significantly after the realized the lease did not forbid smoking with a tenant's apartment.

Have to wait to be emailed by the leasing consultant... not a convenient process!

Sail Cloth Factory is AMAZING! My boyfriend and I moved in back in April and it has been great living here. We live in a studio loft which is the perfect size for two people. I love the big windows, tall ceilings and the updated kitchen! I have never had any noise issues and our neighbors have always been very friendly. Its a short 5 min. walk for me to get to class at UMB School of Medicine, and Camden Yards is only 10-15 min. walk! Allegra is amazing and always very responsive to my emails. The maintenance staff has always fixed any issues within a day or two and they have always been fixed right the first time. I love the parking garage. Its nice knowing that my car is safe in the garage! I like that there is free guest parking and if that is full there is always plenty meter parking out front. All in all a great place to live!
