Grant’s direct answer
Yes, when the amenities improve the limited time the renter is home. Grant especially values a strong pool, gym, resident events, concierge, and a resort-style environment that makes weekends enjoyable. He places less weight on lounges and rooftop decks that may look impressive but receive little use. The renter should not pay a premium for an amenity list they rarely use; the question is whether the building makes home time easier, more social, and more enjoyable enough to justify the extra cost.
