A concierge was once associated with the world’s most expensive addresses from New York’s Upper East Side to the 16th arrondissement in Paris. For a number of years, this benefit has come as standard in many apartments across London, but developers are now offering concierge services in a growing number of prime regional developments too, recognising changing trends in how people across the country live their daily lives.
A ‘concierge’ has charge of the entrance of a building. He or she will maintain a reassuring eye over the security of your building when you’re not around, and will provide a warm welcome on your return. In some developments, they may also provide a range of additional services: this can include taking care of post and deliveries, ordering taxis, plant watering, pet feeding, letting people in to decorate or carry out repairs and, in some instances, making dinner and theatre reservations on your behalf.
After lockdowns and widespread working from home, the services of a concierge are coming into their own once again as we return to offices and spend weekends and holidays enjoying leisure time away.
Here are six of the best apartments in prime regional developments – all come with concierge services to ease the lives of busy residents, from active downsizers to young professionals.
