Luxury and Boutique suite kitchens feature Moen 2000™ Series Stainless Steel sinks and Align pulldown kitchen faucets.
“Modern design continues to grow in popularity,” said Andrea Conroy, senior director of marketing, Moen wholesale. “Our 90° and Align collections offer the sleek, upscale look desired by the residents of The 9, while providing the high level of dependability and service for which Moen is known.”
In the Kitchen
The Align pulldown kitchen faucets offer a refreshed, modern look, with a high-arc spout complemented by geometric handles that emphasize the simplicity and elegance of the design. The multi-function pulldown spray wand provides added functionality.
Adding to the upscale look and high-end functionality in the hub of the home, a quality sink is a must. Moen’s 2000 Series Stainless Steel sinks deliver design and functionality. Both single- and double-bowl undermount 20-gauge stainless steel sinks are installed in the kitchens and are the perfect fit for the upscale countertop.
In the Bath
Featuring high-end modern styling, the 90° bath collection offers geometric, 90-degree-angled lines and a minimalist design. The single-handle, single-hole lavatory faucets are certified to meet WaterSense® criteria and feature a flow rate of 1.5 gallons per minute (gpm), versus the 2.2 gpm standard, offering water savings of up to 32 percent.
Moving into the tub and shower, tenants can enjoy the 90° Roman tub faucets equipped with a hand shower, while the shower trim includes an exquisite, square-shaped rainshower showerhead for the ultimate in luxury.
Functionality and fashion are added to each bath in The 9 with perfectly matching 90° accessories, including a tank lever, robe hook, pivoting paper holder, 18- and 24-inch towel bars and a towel ring.
