53 West 53, Residences by Armani/Casa Miami receive Forbes luxury designation

53 West 53 in New York and Residences by Armani/Casa Miami in Sunny Isles Beach remain among the first properties to receive Forbes Travel Guide’s VERIFIED Luxury Residences designation as the company formally launches the program for luxury residential communities. Forbes Travel Guide said the initiative is designed to help developers, operators and management companies build hospitality-inspired service cultures through training, operational guidance, ongoing quality assurance and continuous improvement. The launch coincides with the debut of an online inaugural collection of VERIFIED Luxury Residences at forbestravelguide.com/residences, intended as a resource for buyers, residents and real estate professionals seeking communities recognized for service excellence. Chief Executive Officer Hermann Elger said the program gives residential organizations a framework for embedding hotel-style service standards into everyday living and helps consumers identify communities that have invested in service, culture and operations.
