Harbourfront Horizon

[molldoll77]

second draft... made a few changes with your suggestions, but please feel free to copy and paste and edit it yourselves...


Dear Harbourfront Horizon Management:

Although, we have been relatively happy Harbourfront Horizon residents, upon several discussions with neighbors, we have all agreed that this apartment complex needs some changes. Below we have listed our frustrations along with possible remedies, and hope you will take them into consideration.

1. Gym hours and usage – We would all appreciate longer hours in the evening, and more time during the day. Proposed hours: 6:30am to 10:00pm. If you must take a break during the day, please do not do so during peak lunch hours; instead, how about 2:00-3:00pm? Also, please check footwear/attire for gym users; some of it is inappropriate (i.e. slippers instead of sneakers, etc.).

2. Pool hours – Why must you close during the nicest part of the day (12:00-2:00pm)? That is when most of us would like to use the pool. It seems there is enough staff to cover even lunch and dinner hours, if each of them work in shifts. We propose no break at all, but if you must, we suggest later in the afternoon.

3. Recycling – We wish you would place bins for glass, plastic, cans and newspapers in each block; only one set per block would be necessary.

4. Shuttle bus commuting – It always seems impossible to use the bus during peak morning commute hours. We suggest having two buses at a time (to carry more passengers) or running the buses more frequently from 7:30am-9:00am, every 10 minutes rather than 15 minutes. Also, it seems many people just get off at the KCR station, so perhaps you could allocate certain buses to go directly to TST while others go to the KCR station?

5. Cable television – While we appreciate “free” television, the cable channels we currently have are insufficient, especially English-language news and sports. It has become painfully clear that we cannot install our own outside cable source such as NOW TV, so please offer a better selection in the channels we are allowed to receive. If you cannot do that, perhaps you could offer a package within Harbourfront Horizon that we could pay for in addition to what we have. At least add CNN – it is based right here in Hong Kong!

We realize that this is a relatively new facility so things may not be perfect yet, but these are major issues that we have noticed and kindly urge you to take them into consideration as soon as possible.

Thank you and regards.
Sincerely,

[Smartacg]

Perfect!! thanks.
I will be away from HK till 26/01...but we could meet during the w-e (26-27) so we can organize the way we want to proceed with this petition.

I can print the form to collect the signature and all the persons willing to participate can join the meeting.

Have a nice w-e!

Hello every one,

I'v lived in Harbourfront for about 6 months and I'v only just found this thread.

I totally agree with ALL the comments and if you need any help etc I'd be pleased to help.

Also If there are any ladies out there who would like to make some friends who live so close, drop me a line

bye for now

Does anyone know if they have any 3 bedrooms? Some say maybe. Are the rates (2 br about 10,000HK) for the low floors and higher as you go up? How much $ to get in: first month rent, last month, comission?
Thanks

[jngai]

they have very few 3 bedrooms and i think they have all been rented out. 2 br starts @$11,500 for the low floors (9 and below) but i doubt you will find that price anymore since they have been increasing the rent by at least 10% for lease renewal but i could be wrong. you will need to ask and find out. no commission and security deposit required....you just need to sign a 6 - 12 month lease.

Is there still time to sign the letter? My boyfriend & I would like to do so if you haven't handed it over to Management yet. Please let me know what else I can do to help... Thanks!

[Smartacg]

As I wrote...I have printed few letters and also the forms for the signatures...I will be leaving HK tomorrow afternoon and won't be back till 26-2.

So again, please contact me!!....you can come to pick up the forms and start collecting signatures

My wife and me had just moved into HarbourFront (about 2 months back) and no doubt we totally agreed with the letter.

Do PM me if more more signatures are require.
