What the current listings show
The building’s own leasing site, run by Brookfield Properties, doesn’t publish a price table at all. The two marketplaces that do disagree by a few hundred dollars depending on the day they were pulled, which is normal for a 700-unit building with rolling availability, not a sign either is wrong.
| Unit type | Size | Price (as listed) | Source, as-of date |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | 520 to 540 sq ft | $2,011 to $2,273 | Apartments.com, snapshot late June 2026 |
| Studio | 527 to 540 sq ft | $2,043 to $2,318 | ApartmentHomeLiving.com, 05/15/2026 |
| 1 bedroom | 578 to 777 sq ft | $2,169 to $2,754 | ApartmentHomeLiving.com, 05/15/2026 |
| 2 bedroom | up to 1,211 sq ft | $3,130 and up | Zillow, June 2026 |
| Up to 3 bedroom | up to 1,323 sq ft | $4,185 (top of range) | ApartmentRatings.com |
The spread inside each unit type is wider than the spread between studios and one-bedrooms: a 540-square-foot studio and a 578-square-foot one-bedroom land within about $150 of each other on the same day’s listings. Floor and concession eligibility explain more of the price than the bedroom count does.
How current is the pricing shown on marketplace sites for this building?Each listing carries its own refresh date rather than a single fixed price; Apartments.com and Zillow both showed updates within the past several weeks as of this writing, but the leasing office is the only source for same-day availability.
Renting vs. buying at this address
Two real-estate listing sites, including one that brokers resales, label this property “Eighth and Grand Condominiums.” A live search of that same brokerage’s inventory for the address, run in June 2026, returned no matching listings for sale or lease. The building’s own developer material and its 2015 launch announcement describe it throughout as a single 700-unit apartment community built and held by one owner, not a condo association with individually deeded, resellable units. If a site invites you to “buy a unit here,” what it’s actually offering is a search that, at least at the time checked, had nothing in it.
Can I buy a unit at Eighth & Grand instead of renting?Not through any active listing found at the time of writing. The building operates as leased apartments under one owner; sites describing it as condos for sale aren’t showing live inventory.
What residents report
Two independent review sources, dated across 2023 to 2024 and largely unconnected to each other, describe the same recurring irritant: fire-alarm and building-alert testing that residents say runs frequently enough to disrupt sleep, alongside slower-than-expected responses to maintenance requests for electrical outlets, lighting, and washer-dryer units. That pattern shows up often enough, from separate reviewers, to treat it as a real, ongoing complaint rather than one bad night.
The same review set also includes clearly positive accounts in the same window, praising staff responsiveness, the fitness center, and the two courtyards, so the negative reports aren’t the whole picture either.
Is Eighth & Grand safe to live in?No independent incident report was found to confirm the most serious safety claim circulating in reviews. Separately, recurring fire-alarm and maintenance complaints are corroborated across more than one review source and worth asking the leasing office about directly.
Pet policy
Two listing platforms agree on the fee structure. What isn’t published anywhere checked is any breed or weight restriction, which is worth confirming directly since it’s the kind of detail that can disqualify a pet after you’ve already toured.
| Pet | Deposit | Monthly fee | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dog | $500 | $50 | Zillow |
| Cat | $500 | $50 | Zillow; confirmed by Rent.com |
| Breed/weight limit | Not published on any listing checked; confirm with leasing office | ||
What’s included in the pet fee?A one-time $500 deposit plus $50 a month, per pet, for both dogs and cats, per the building’s marketplace listings. No published cap on breed or weight was found.
Getting around
The 7th St/Metro Center rail station sits 0.3 mile from the building, a distance the marketplace listings state directly rather than through a 0-to-100 walkability score. At an ordinary walking pace that’s roughly a five- to six-minute walk, though this figure should be map-checked at the exact building entrance before relying on it for a commute plan. Three shopping centers sit within 0.3 mile as well.
Furnished and short-term options
A separate furnished-housing reseller lists short-term units at this address for renters who want corporate or relocation housing rather than a standard lease. That’s a different vendor and a different lease structure from the ones covered above, and worth checking separately if a standard 12-month lease isn’t what you need.
Worth knowing
The building opened in 2015, developed by San Francisco-based Carmel Partners on a three-acre block it bought from developer Sonny Astani for $63 million in 2012. It was built using ConXtech’s steel-frame system, a swap that let the project add a floor and 36 extra one-bedroom units over the original design. The ground-floor Whole Foods, downtown’s first, opened that November across 42,000 square feet.
Rent here has run well above the neighborhood average since it opened: a 516-square-foot studio leased for about $52 a square foot a month in early 2016, against a downtown-wide average of $33.61 a square foot cited at the time by NeighborhoodX.
The amenity set: a two-story, roughly 5,000-square-foot gym with a private yoga studio; a 7th-floor sky lounge and rooftop pool; a second-floor clubroom with a demonstration kitchen and screening room; two courtyards, one with BBQ space and a garden, the other with a hot tub; a pet spa and dog run; and 24-hour concierge.
The move-in promotion, and what to verify before signing
Marketplace listings currently show a “look and lease” offer of up to ten weeks of free base rent on select units, tied to a move-in deadline and a minimum 12-month term. None of the listings checked publish the underlying mechanics: which floor plans qualify, whether the discount is front-loaded or spread across the lease, or what happens if you break the lease early. That level of detail isn’t published anywhere public, so it has to come from the leasing office directly, in writing, before signing.
- Get the offer in writing. Verbal concession terms quoted on a tour aren’t always what ends up in the lease.
- Ask how the discount is applied. A lump-sum credit and a lower effective monthly rent change your actual move-in cost differently.
- Check the qualifying move-in window. The deadline shown on third-party sites (April 30 or May 31, 2026 depending on the listing) may already have shifted by the time you tour.
