Resident Testimonial

This month’s testimonial comes from a resident who made the decision to live here the first day we offered the

Residences for sale…when the ground was still a park and not a skyline staple of Providence. Her level of excite-

ment is contagious.

1. How long have you lived at The Residences? How long have you lived at The Residences? How long have you lived at The Residences? How long have you lived at The Residences? We have been living at the Residences for the past year and a

half.

2. What were some features that made you decide on The ResidencesWhat were some features that made you decide on The ResidencesWhat were some features that made you decide on The ResidencesWhat were some features that made you decide on The Residences? Features that we found attractive and

helped in our decision making process were those unique to Providence. Magnificent views, beautiful interior

amenities as well as Westin Hotel access to room service and all other services played a significant role. Be-

yond that (and an incredible bonus) is that without going outside the Providence Place Mall is about a 5 min-

ute walk. I already shopped for beautiful cards at Papyrus, Nordstrom’s for shoes, and gifts at Tiffany’s.

3. What would you like to share about yourself to prospective residents?What would you like to share about yourself to prospective residents?What would you like to share about yourself to prospective residents?What would you like to share about yourself to prospective residents? Commuting anywhere in either RI or

other states is a snap. My job takes me daily throughout New England and the 95/I-195 highways are right

outside your door. We also love to meet new people and socialize.

4. What has been your experience when using the Concierge service?What has been your experience when using the Concierge service?What has been your experience when using the Concierge service?What has been your experience when using the Concierge service? The concierge services have been noth-

ing short of world class. 24 hour attention to detail and our needs is what we have experienced. Whether

making reservations at The Westin Hotel, restaurants or handling the dry cleaning—to say we are pleased and

satisfied is an understatement.

5. What do you think about the finishes & quality of your home? What do you think about the finishes & quality of your home? What do you think about the finishes & quality of your home? What do you think about the finishes & quality of your home? We have

said many times, as well as others having commented on the outstanding con-

struction as well as the architectural designs and layouts. Our 2 bedroom, den,

2.5 bath residence is perfect for guests and entertaining. High ceilings and tons

of glass lend itself to spectacular city living.
