Leading the way at The Residence is Dána Levere, the new General Manager along with Executive Chef Ken Hueston. Both bring exceptional talent, experience and enthusiasm to create a lifestyle that offers a 5 star experience.
“Living at The Residence is about our members having the time to pursue their interests, hobbies and lifestyle as we handle the daily managing of the household tasks” says Levere.
The concept of open dining, choices and flexibility was first and foremost in the planning of the in-house restaurant. Gold Seal Chef Hueston has a vision of fresh food and seasonal cooking.
“I look forward to offering an upscale culinary experience utilizing artisanal cooking methods while supporting local wineries, farms, and sound foragers” says Hueston.
In addition to the exceptional lifestyle benefits at The Residence, residents will enjoy the perks and privileges of the Club Orchard membership – a program that gives members special discounts and perks at local shops, services, entertainment and events. This will also include complimentary access to the planned Orchards Walk recreation facility.
Just a few steps away from The Residence will be home to Orchards Plaza, a retail shopping destination. Canadian company Pharmasave is the first major retailer to confirm their Orchards Plaza location, with many more to come.
