Residents will have exclusive private access to a spectacular multi-level light filled mind body spa + gym + healing waters sanctuary complete with a 40 foot indoor outdoor lap pool, hot and cold water circuit, and topped off with a rooftop meditation garden. To fur-ther inspire well living, in-home spa services and private fitness and yoga training will be provided by exhale licensed professionals.

"By aligning ourselves with an award winning spa partner, we are expanding our serv-ices and offering buyers total and immediate access to a mind body living experience within their urban residence," said Abbey Group President and COO David Epstein. "Our clientele have an appreciation for luxury living, and we feel that this partnership will be very appealing to them.  Adding exhale to our development team gives the private spa, fitness and programming features of the building a new level of focus and expertise that is unique for Boston" he added.

"There is high and increasing demand for a 5 star wellbeing lifestyle in a residential community but it is extremely rare to find this executed perfectly and authentically," said exhale spa President and CEO Annbeth Eschbach. "We have found a partner that has the same standards and vision for truly integrating quality spa, fitness and relaxation programs and amenities to fulfill the unwavering quest for living life well everyday, at home."

Upon completion in early 2009, the 32-story luxury-high-rise, located at 45 Province Street in downtown Boston at the foot of historic Beacon Hill and steps from the Finan-cial District, will offer the best in elegance and design for urban dwellers. 45 PROVINCE will be a full-service, 138-unit residence featuring numerous amenities including unpar-alleled panoramic views of the city; a parlor featuring a library, lounge and screening room; an elegant dining room with a catering kitchen; a celebrity chef restaurant; valet parking; and 24-hour concierge.

Exhale, conceived to fulfill the need for high quality transformational mind body offer-ings within a spa setting, is the brainchild of leading spa executive Annbeth Eschbach, who is supported by a team of industry veterans. Backed by Brentwood Associates, ex-hale has plans to grow their wellbeing paradigm to 15-20 locations throughout the U.S. and currently operates 8 locations in New York, Massachusetts, Illinois, California and Texas, with two more properties under development.
