Now for your tour:  Enter the  Residences  of the Lippincott through a tasteful newly upgraded lobby, hosted by a 24-hour concierge/door person(s).  Take the private elevator & arrive directly into the foyer of your home.  As you enter the residence, there are a few things you will immediately take note of, they include: the gorgeous wood flooring that runs throughout, the neutral & soothing paint tones & the glorious, bright, open & airy floor plan.
