Ask Lauren is a CityStudio community concierge pilot project creating vertical communities in apartment buildings to inspire a friendlier city.
A volunteer role to welcome residents home and connect people with one another. This is to create a friendlier environment in apartment buildings. The concierge was piloted at The Lauren, 1051 Broughton Street, a new rental-only building by Westbank Corp. As more new buildings are developed in Vancouver, a Community Amenity Contribution is required by developers. A Community Concierge is an amenity, and using the toolkit it could be offered as a part of this existing program. The toolkit ensures anyone can have access to knowledge about their neighbourhood and inspire relationships in their building.
