He narrates an incident that asserted the efficiency of service at The World Towers. He shares, "I remember when my dad was not feeling too well and we needed to rush him to the hospital at 2 AM. I called the standard ambulance and they said they would call back. Then I remembered that the building has its own ambulance. So, we called up the concierge and by the time we got him down in the wheelchair the ambulance was waiting. I got the call (from the other place) after we reached the hospital, which speaks about efficiency of the service."

We love our morning and evening walks on 13th level where we go to the walking track. The amenities attracted us to this development. I am really fortunate that I am living in a world-class development and amenities are fantastic. It is really an iconic tower and the way it is run is amazing. I was really delighted when the cafeteria hosted a very fine dining experience for me and another navy couple. They did it in great style."
