on the inaugural Forbes VERIFIED Luxury Residences list


BOCA RATON, Fla., Oct. 30 – A new plaque at ALINA Residences represents much more than a designation. It reflects an ongoing commitment to how residents experience the community every day.

Residents recently joined board members and the FirstService Residential management team for a presentation of the building’s VERIFIED™ Luxury Residences plaque from Forbes Travel Guide and to celebrate the people and service culture behind the recognition.

Situated in the heart of downtown Boca Raton, steps from Mizner Park, ALINA Residences is located within one of South Florida’s most sought-after neighborhoods, offering residents proximity to culture, dining, retail, and the ocean.
"Receiving the plaque and having residents there to celebrate with us made the recognition especially meaningful. But the designation also represents a responsibility. Our focus is on making these standards part of how we operate every day, from how we anticipate resident needs to how consistently, and thoughtfully we deliver service. That is the work behind the recognition, and it continues."

German Cabieses, general manager of ALINA Residences
That commitment is shared by the community’s board, which has described maintaining an exceptional standard of living for residents as a priority and views the VERIFIED designation as reinforcing ALINA Residences’ commitment to setting a high standard for luxury living.
