Nadim Khouri
We truly enjoyed, and more importantly, benefited from our meeting with Mr. Zeeshan Javed, Director of Community Relations at Benchmark. First, he understood our situation, my wife and I, and internalized it in his explanations and tour highlights--with respect to needs and (relaxed) time constraints. We were very comfortable and felt no pressure all through the visit. All our questions were answered. We met lovely staff along the way, including Sunny the nurse and Shamika the Chef. We truly enjoyed discussing the unique flexible features of a potential stay at Benchmark. As well as its "structural" advantages such as being (still) a Founder-owned company, ensuring support and smooth transition through various stages of ageing, and of course Benchmark's location in a cosmopolitan, multigenerational setting. We will definitely keep The Landing in mind.
Empowered Era
I live nearby and watched Benchmark at Alexandria being built, so I recently stopped in to see the inside and I was pleasantly surprised! The rooms are spacious, the multiple dining spaces are inviting, and the rooftop is absolutely beautiful. It truly feels like a place where someone could comfortably age in place. I’m now seriously considering asking my mom to move closer and live here.
