As much of the U.S. population continues to shelter in place, getting takeout or delivery from local restaurants and cocktail dens has become a favorite weekend pastime, especially for apartment dwellers living in major urban areas. In an effort to create a lifestyle experience that goes beyond traditional brick-and-mortar amenities, many upscale residential developments are now teaming up with restaurants, bars, and gourmet food purveyors to offer residents an array of at-home dining options, including pantry stocking services from artisan grocers; programs and tastings from beloved wine bars; and cocktail-design classes from local hotspots.
While these experiences certainly can’t replace the satisfaction of snagging a prime reservation at a popular new restaurant, these partnerships have proven incredibly popular in these times of isolation, with many property developers planning to forge new ones in the years ahead. Some luxury properties have recently formed F&B partnerships with popular restaurants and food retailers.
Los Angeles: Astéras Kings + Erewhon Market
Who doesn’t miss kick-starting their morning with an espresso and pastry pairing from the local coffee shop? Fortunately, the residents of Astéras Kings – an ultra-sleek boutique rental development launching this fall in West Hollywood—will have access to an automated rooftop espresso bar where they can brew their caffeinated concoction of choice and even enjoy it poolside. When it comes to breakfast options to serve alongside their brew, residents can take advantage of the building’s grocery delivery and pantry stocking services courtesy of Erewhon Market, the ultra-chic natural grocer beloved by celebrities and known for launching the latest in health and wellness trends, including the oft-hyped Coconut Cult yogurt.
New York: Waterline Square + Cipriani
At Waterline Square – the three-tower, starchitect-designed luxury development on Manhattan’s Upper West Side – residents can take advantage of pantry stocking, grocery provisioning and food delivery from Cipriani, the globally acclaimed hospitality brand. The world’s first-ever large-format culinary experience will span 28,000 square feet at Two Waterline Square, and feature a multi-faceted food and beverage experience complete with numerous specialty food counters, Cipriani’s largest bar in the world, and a full-service restaurant.
