After 6 years of occupancy both the Carrier furnace and A/C had to be replaced - big bucks. A single stage with a one phase zoned system would have worked perfectly.

As soon as we spoke with him, we canceled all of our scheduled tours at other apartment communities because we knew we had found the right place. Kyle was absolutely phenomenal. From our experience at our previous community to helping us through this move, he made the entire process seamless. He communicated every step of the way, was always responsive, and genuinely made sure we were taken care of. It felt like working with someone who truly cared about making our transition as smooth as possible. We also want to recognize Viridiana, who was equally wonderful throughout the process. Together, they made leasing our new apartment an incredibly pleasant and stress-free experience. Exceptional customer service like theirs is rare, and we're so grateful for everything they did to make us feel welcome in our new home.

We purchased a home in Dublin, CA in 2021 from Brookfield. The post closing experience was a year…read morelong nightmare due to numerous quality control issues. In our post closing experience we had filed some 50-60 tickets for issues. After two years of ownership, we got most of our issues addressed, but it was a long fight and it left a very sour taste in our mouths. Overall the home is quite beautiful but the failure was in the execution, hence why I'm giving two stars instead of one. For comparison, my family and my parents have lived in a number of new construction homes over the last 20 years. I have a lot to compare with and have seen what is a reasonable standard. This builder is using lowest level talent in trades. We had several big ticket issues which required large fixes. We had an incorrectly installed electrical option which took 6 visits to correct. Two of the visits resulted in electrical code violations. Brookfield was trying to save effort and deliberately wired our outlet incorrectly because it was a cheap way to solve the issue but the fix was unsafe and illegal. We got the city involved. Our wood flooring was installed unlevel due to poor subfloor preparation. The spec for new floor installation from the manufacturer is pretty stringent -- no more than 1/4 inch deviation over 10 feet -- and surely we had several large humps across our wood floor. This was a two week project where we were moved to a hotel and our furniture was moved out of the home. Funny enough, during the repair, the tradesmen made the same mistake again in the subfloor preparation but luckily I was able to catch it before they installed the wood floor. We chose to stay home for the second week as I had to make sure I was personally inspecting the work every day else we'd risk having to have the floor ripped up again. Over half of the windows had substantial scratches in them. These are scratches deep enough where you can feel it when you run your fingernail over them. Brookfield of course tried to tell us that you have to be able to see the scratch from 11 ft away before they can replace it. I don't know how the bar got this low in quality standards, but a visible scratch of any kind is unacceptable. I don't know what the problem is, the builder hiring amateur cleaners or Milgard the window vendor's incompetence, needless to say this was a ridiculous argument. Through a lot of persistence we managed to get all of them replaced. Interior doors were all incorrectly installed. Through the manufacturer they state that the jambs on the doors must be trimmed to place the door at the correct height above the flooring. The tradesmen who installed all of the doors ignored this step which resulted in all doors being 1-1.5 inches above the finished flooring. This is large enough to stick your toes under the door to the other side and has consequences for noise, light and privacy. In addition the doors were not shimmed properly to create the correct gaps between the doors and the jambs. At night when a door is closed but a hallway light is on, you see light blaring through the cracks lighting up your whole room. In addition some doors were so poorly installed you could pull the door past the stop. This was a big fight. And of course, the fix was a solid B- work, although the main issue is repaired, you can see the scarring of retroactive work. There are also numerous technical issues with the design, specifically around HVAC. It seems that many modern builds are incorrectly sizing systems and this is no exception. This home included a Mitsubishi Electric VRF system with 8 heads. Although the system is quite nice and very advanced, it has a large learning curve and has a lot of incorrect setup. Ultimatley though, I believe the system is not properly sized for the home. The 8 interior heads leverage a single large 60k BTU condenser. The system cannot ramp down enough to serve one head and results in over heating/cooling. This required a lot of in depth research in my part to modify the system to perform properly but I worry about its longevity. Out of box the system was delivered in such a way that led to significant over heating/cooling in many of the smaller rooms (+/- 6 degrees). Imagine a baby room that's supposed to be 72 but is heated to 78+. We did get a lot of fixes done. However this was not without a year of blood, sweat, and tears. The builder will drag their feet, take weeks to respond to you, keep stringing you along months at a time, and sometimes walk back and say they won't do something anymore. They will gaslight you and tell you that your issue is normal, standard, or otherwise to get you to back down. On multiple occasions this required escalation to the VP of construction to re-explain our case. Over the year our context was lost because our warranty reps kept quitting. This is the state of new construction in 2020+. They know homes are in demand in CA and assume you will just take whatever you can get.

I spoke to Deborah on October 30, 2025 regarding Plan 1 and Plan 2 and on Nov. 2nd we set an appointment for me to view the models and bring my deposit. I could not come earlier because I had to drive from Los Angeles. At the appointment, Deborah told me the unit had received an offer the evening of Nov. 5th and it had been accepted. She failed to notify me and her excuse was that the offer had come in very late. However, once my sister asked her about the chances the sale would fall out, Deborah said the 3 day recession period was ending that day, Nov. 6th at 5 pm. My sister then said the offer must have come in on Sunday, Nov. 2nd! Deborah had clearly lied! She should have notified me so I wouldn't have driven 14 hours (to and from), spent $100 in gas, and wasted my and my sister's time! I also discovered she had lied about pricing. Please note I would have purchased the unit at the price the buyer offered. I suspect Deborah thought she could sell me something else even though she clearly knew my budget. She's just "out to make a buck". I would never recommend her to anyone.
