The Sheffield, a re-launched luxury apartment building in Manhattan, is partnering with Saks Fifth Avenue to provide exclusive shopping privileges for its residents. The partnership will include shopping privileges, personal styling consultants, and private seasonal designer collection previews. Saks Fifth Avenue was a Luxist Awards' Readers Choice nominee for Best Department Store.

The partnership will allow recent Sheffield buyers as well as current residents to take advantage of customized services uniquely created to and for them by a Saks Fifth Avenue team of experts. To kick off this exclusive partnership, The Fifth Avenue Club at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York will host a "match-making" event where residents will be paired with their very own personal styling consultant.

Every season, residents at The Sheffield will enjoy special sneak previews of Saks Designer Collections. Through private in-store events held at the Saks Fifth Avenue Club, the personal styling consultant will hand-select the latest trends and ensembles for their resident.

"We hope to see Sheffield residents develop life-long relationships with their personal styling consultant as they are provided with this specialized service to enhance their sophisticated lifestyle and standards," says Sharon Cottelli, Director of Saks' Women's Fifth Avenue Club.

Sheffield residents will also enjoy Saks Signature Shopping Experience with up to three hours in a private VIP Suite at the Fifth Avenue Club with complimentary lunch and beverages, a personalized facial, and special gift from selected skincare collections. This will be provided to Sheffield residents as an additional amenity and all efforts will be coordinated through the building's in-house concierge service Abigail Michaels.
