Mike Ennes, Federal Realty’s Senior Vice President, Mixed-Use Initiatives and Corporate Communications, sheds light on this strategy: “Infusing a global resort perspective into residential communities further differentiates our properties in the market.” With almost a decade of experience in luxury and lifestyle hospitality at Hilton Worldwide, Ennes is leading this innovative charge.
Now, let’s explore some unique communities that embody this approach:



MONTAJE — Somerville, MA
Situated in Assembly Row, once home to a Ford assembly plant, Montaje stands as an embodiment of the community’s rich history and Federal Realty’s knack for crafting unique, place-specific environments. The property seamlessly merges industrial aesthetics with modern design, cultivating a sleek, urban residential atmosphere. This ambiance is further heightened by unique amenities, including resident-only art classes, a stunning sky-lounge, and poolside food and beverage service directly from the Row’s popular restaurants.



MISCELA — Somerville, MA
Derived from the Italian word meaning “a combination of things,” Miscela is truly an aesthetic delight for the senses. Inspired by this idea, the building’s design brings the outside in, creating a harmonious balance. This “more is more” approach is apparent from the floral lighting fixtures in the lobby to the immersive speakeasy that offers a touch of intrigue. Together with Montaje, Miscela epitomizes Federal’s skillful approach to building synergistic appeal within a single development, creating a complimentary design landscape that enhances the overall community experience.


DARIEN COMMONS — Darien, CT
Tucked away in a vibrant neighborhood dotted with charming boutiques, Darien Commons in coastal Connecticut embodies understated luxury. The apartments provide more than just a place to live; they offer a refined lifestyle in a community with a “know-you-by-name” kind of charm. Among unparalleled conveniences there is Tulu, an on-demand lending library bringing everyday essentials, and some simple indulgences, right to one’s doorstep. Residents’ guests can enjoy dedicated suites, providing the comfort and privacy of a hotel room. The allure of Darien Commons lies not only in its features, but also in its unique ability to blend an intimate neighborhood feel with the luxuries of high-end hospitality.
