The project development team members of The Abbey Group's $200 million 45 Province development gathered with city, industry, and community leaders including mayor Thomas Menino and Suffolk Construction to celebrate the topping off of the city's newest luxury condominium residences. Upon completion in early 2009, the 32-story luxury-high-rise, located at 45 Province St. at the foot of Beacon Hill and within a short distance to the city's financial district and the Boston Common, will offer the ultimate in elegance and design for urban dwellers. "I'm delighted to be here today to celebrate this construction milestone," mayor Menino said.  45 Province is a full-service 138-unit residence featuring: a resident only Exhale spa including a four seasons pool, hot tub, cold plunge, spa treatment room and fitness studio with cardio, stretching and conditioning areas; a parlor comprised of a library; lounge and screening room; a dining room with a catering kitchen; a fine dining restaurant; a bistro restaurant with an outdoor patio; a spectacular roof garden offering sweeping panoramic views of the city; valet parking and 24-hour concierge service. Attendees of the event celebration participated in a ceremonial mixing of the last bucket of concrete that was then raised up to the 32nd story of the building along with an American and a Boston Celtics flag to complete the topping off.
