BOSTON , May 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- PIER 4 Residences is one of the seven inaugural residences participating in a new program to bring hospitality-level service standards into luxury residential living as part of FirstService Residential's collaboration with ATELIER CX, the consulting division of Forbes Travel Guide. Set directly along Boston Harbor, PIER 4 is distinguished by its highly desirable location, modern design, and strong focus on amenity-driven living.

The community's operating environment, combined with consistently high resident expectations, makes it an ideal setting to launch a more structured, hospitality-informed approach to service. "PIER 4 is a property where service plays a central role in shaping the resident experience," said Andrew Gallucci, general manager with FirstService Residential, the property's management company. "This initiative gives our team a clear framework to elevate consistency, training, and execution, drawing from the same standards used in the world's leading hospitality environments." "Introducing this program in Boston is an exciting step, and PIER 4 is an inspiring place to begin," said Noushig Hagopian, senior vice president, New England, FirstService Residential.

"We are fortunate to have a Board that is forward-thinking and open to new ideas. Their commitment to exploring innovative ways to elevate the resident experience makes it possible to bring this to the market in a meaningful way." Ralph Verni, Board president, added, "Our goal has always been to ensure the experience at PIER 4 reflects the caliber of the building itself. This program reinforces our commitment to delivering a resident experience that is thoughtful, consistent, and aligned with the expectations of a world-class residential property." PIER 4 Residences is part of a select group of high-profile communities selected for this rollout, representing a range of luxury residential properties where service excellence is a defining component of day-to-day operations.
