Officials from Roseland Property Company, Lennar Urban and the Township of Weehawken broke ground on a new Henley on Hudson waterfront condominium building on Nov. 1 within the Port Imperial mixed-use development in Weehawken, NJ.

Weehawken Mayor Richard F. Turner addressed the crowd of more than 50 people at the beginning of the ceremony, stating that the township’s active partnership with both Lennar and Roseland has helped economic development flourish in that part of town, to the benefit of all Weehawken residents.

“In this economy, to have any economic development at all is a tremendous accomplishment,” Mayor Turner said. “At Port Imperial, the master plan is moving along quickly. We are preserving open space, we are making long-term economic progress and we have Roseland and Lennar to thank for that.”

The new four-story, 36-residence condominium building is rising along the Hudson River waterfront and will boast spectacular Manhattan skyline views. The elegantly-designed, single-level homes will range in size from 912 to 1,722 square feet of living space at pre-construction prices starting in the $500,000s.

Initial occupancy is scheduled for May, 2013. The community’s Welcome Home Center began taking deposits on the new homes last week and a number of residences have already been sold.

The new condominium is coming to market following the sell-out of earlier phases of single-level homes, Penthouses and multi-story brownstones at Henley on Hudson. Already completed is a private 6,000 square-foot clubhouse with a club room, theater room, billiards and gaming lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, Yoga/Pilates room, Children’s Play Studio and an outdoor, resort-style infinity pool.

Situated within Port Imperial, the 200-acre, $2 billion master-planned community that stretches two miles along the Hudson River, Henley on Hudson takes full advantage of its vibrant and convenient waterfront setting. Port Imperial’s nearby Shops at Riverwalk has evolved into a dynamic and animated riverfront destination featuring such dining, shopping and conveniences as Son Cubano, A&P, Starbucks, Gionnone Wines, Floris Nail & Spa, Ben & Jerry’s, Riverwalk Cleaners and Wells Fargo.

The location is particularly friendly for commuters, as the Port Imperial commuter ferry to Manhattan and Light Rail station are nearby, and several major highways are just a short drive away.

Carl J. Goldberg, Managing Partner of Roseland Property Company, said that although the homes at Henley on Hudson are beautiful and the amenities are exceptional, the Township of Weehawken should be commended for building and maintaining a community where people want to live.

“What is taking place here today is really a testament to the fact that people really want to live in Weehawken,” Mr. Goldberg said. “All of you should be proud of the lifestyle you have created here, making this community a desirable place to live. It is one of the reasons that we are able to sell homes here without any difficulty, many of them in excess of a million dollars. There is something very unique, special and energetic about this part of the Hudson River waterfront, and I think the views speak for themselves.”

The new development at Port Imperial will benefit not only new home buyers, but also all Weehawken residents, according to Mayor Turner. Revenue and tax ratables from the development can be used to offset property taxes. Also, approximately 40 percent of the land in Port Imperial has been set aside as open space and the developers are creating new public walkways, parks and monuments at their own expense.

“In Weehawken, we have some people who want to see nothing but development and some people who want to see nothing but open space,” Mayor Turner said. “This plan strikes the right balance. We have just the right mix of open space and development.”

The new Henley on Hudson residential building will be completed in about 18 months, with the first closings scheduled for May, 2013. With the original condo building sold-out, public anticipation and demand for new homes at the community has been high for months.

“We’re delighted to get construction underway on this beautiful day, as buyers have been waiting for a new opportunity to own a condominium home at Henley on Hudson for some time,” said Craig Klingensmith, Division President of Lennar Urban. “The first week of pre-construction sales has already resulted in a number of sales, which speaks volumes about the quality of the homes and the overall Henley on Hudson lifestyle.”

Developers Lennar Urban and Roseland Property Company have opened a new Sales Center at Henley on Hudson, the European-inspired community rising along the Hudson Riverfront in Weehawken, N.J. facing midtown Manhattan.

The newly-designed Sales Center is located at 4 Cambridge Way, a location inspired by its proximity to a brand new offering of single-level condominium residences which recently opened for preview sales.

“With our current phase of Townhome residences nearly sold out, we made the decision to design a new Sales Center that would allow buyers convenient access to the community’s newest collection of homes, as well as the existing clubhouse and comprehensive amenities,” notes Michael Skea,  Director of Operations for Lennar Urban’s Northeast Division.

“From here, buyers can appreciate all of the attributes that have made Henley on Hudson so successful, including a spectacular riverfront location, dramatic architectural designs and well-conceived floorplans, a superb amenity offering and exceptional value.”

Preview showings are currently underway for The Residences at Henley on Hudson, an impressive new offering of just 27 homes — including the community’s first one-bedroom design.   The one-, two- and three-bedroom residences are priced from $469,000.  Initial occupancy is scheduled for September, 2010.  However, three quick-delivery homes representing three different floorplans and designer-selected finish packages are currently available with move-in dates as early as August, 2010.

Located in a distinctive six-story building, the limited collection of homes offers layouts ranging in size from 881 to 3,312 square feet of living space.  The homes feature a wide range of upscale finishes and appointments, including open gourmet kitchens and solid hardwood floors.  Homebuyers may choose from a variety of designer selected custom finish palettes.

The Residences at Henley on Hudson is ideally situated just steps from The Club at Henley, the community’s private 6,000 square-foot clubhouse which features a patio room, theater room, and a club room with billiards/gaming tables, catering kitchen, state-of-the-art fitness center, Yoga/Pilates room and a Children’s Play Studio.   An outdoor swimming pool opens this month.  The elegantly-designed, multi-level clubhouse combines with comprehensive Concierge services to create an at-home resort-like living experience.

“An abundance of open space has also been carefully incorporated within Henley on Hudson and throughout Port Imperial for active and passive recreation, including tree-lined walking and jogging paths and English gardens,” notes Jacqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc., the community’s marketing and exclusive sales agent.

“Residents also enjoy Port Imperial’s vibrant retail offering which features boutique shops, restaurants, a gourmet supermarket and services, while the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal provides direct service to Manhattan and the Light-Rail station offers access to the PATH station and towns throughout the ‘Gold Coast’.  The result is a private, picturesque neighborhood ambiance comprising a thoughtfully-balanced offering of distinctive residential options, desirable open space, exciting shopping, dining and retail conveniences; and convenient mass transportation all hugging the Hudson Riverfront.”

For additional information on Henley on Hudson and The Residences at Henley on Hudson, please call (201) 864-7788, or visit the community’s website at www.henleyonhudson.com.   The community’s onsite Sales Center is located at 4 Cambridge Way and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Henley on Hudson

Reasonable offers and rising sales activity provide further evidence that buyers are getting off the sidelines and confidently moving forward with new home purchases.

Such is the case at Henley on Hudson at Port Imperial, where the developer reports a significant change in the quality of traffic in recent weeks which has led to a flurry of new sales.

“We’re currently negotiating 20 sound offers – five of which recently resulted in sales including a Penthouse which sold for over $1 million,” notes Michael Skea, Director of Operations for Lennar Urban’s Northeast Division which is developing the collection of European-inspired residences located along the Hudson River in Weehawken, N.J. with joint venture partner, Roseland Property Company.

“Back in April, we were getting sporadic offers that in some cases were too low to entertain.  That all changed in August and September as the quality of traffic precipitously rose and we started receiving multiple offers on the same homes.  I think it speaks to the overall strengthening of the market and the confidence buyers have in Henley on Hudson specifically.”

Much of that confidence stems from the fact that Henley on Hudson is being developed by the second largest homebuilder in the country which possesses the strength and where-with-all to deliver on its promise of creating the area’s most exceptional residential address.

The community is already well on its way to achieving that goal as 57 homes have been closed to date, resulting in an active residential neighborhood fueled by social interaction and a strong sense of community.

“Our residents are our best sales people,” Ms. Skea points out.  “They absolutely love living here and have embraced all that this remarkable community and world-class waterfront location have to offer.”

While part of the overall Port Imperial development that spans two miles of picturesque Hudson River waterfront, Henley on Hudson was conceived as a distinctive residential neighborhood that takes full advantage of its incomparable waterfront setting facing midtown Manhattan.  Distinguishing it from other properties along the “Gold Coast” is its wide range of home designs including classic multi-level brownstones with private street entrances, expansive condominium residences and luxurious penthouses — all of which reflect the community’s distinctive European-inspired architecture.  The two-, three- and four-bedroom residences feature expansive and well-designed living spaces ranging from 1,717 to 3,148 square feet and are currently priced from $1.295 million to $1.995 million.

The four-story Brownstones are designed to represent the traditional urban multi-level architecture commonly seen in upscale Manhattan streetscapes.   Homes feature grand layouts with private entrances, two-car garages, private elevators and soaring living spaces.   The multi-level design lives like an exceptionally appointed single-family estate residence, while waterfront terraces with views of Manhattan create an ambiance that is entirely urban-chic.

Single-level Penthouses are equally impressive, offering open floorplans and designer finishes and appointments to create dramatic living spaces that fully maximize their riverfront setting.

Enhancing the resort-like lifestyle at Henley on Hudson is the Club at Henley, a 6,000 square-foot clubhouse featuring a club room, theater room, billiards and gaming lounge, state-of-the-art fitness center, Yoga/Pilates room and a Children’s Play Studio.   The elegantly-designed, multi-level clubhouse has been the site of numerous resident parties and social gatherings.

An abundance of open space can be found within Henley on Hudson and throughout Port Imperial for active and passive recreation, including tree-lined walking and jogging paths and English gardens.  Residents also enjoy nearby boutique shops, restaurants and services, while the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal provides direct service to Manhattan and the Light-Rail station offers access to towns throughout the “Gold Coast.”

“The well-executed integration of multiple home designs, exciting amenities and a breathtaking riverfront location creates a unique offering unlike any other along the ‘Gold Coast,’” notes Jacqueline Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors, Inc., the community’s marketing and exclusive sales agent.

“Henley on Hudson residents enjoy a private, picturesque neighborhood ambiance, yet also benefit from being part of the overall Port Imperial community, a remarkable, well-balanced setting featuring distinctive residential options, shopping, dining and retail conveniences; desirable park space and mass transportation all hugging the Hudson Riverfront.”

For additional information on Henley on Hudson and to schedule an appointment to tour the furnished brownstone model, please call (201) 864-7788, or visit the community’s website at www.henleyonhudson.com.

The community’s onsite Sales Center is located at 2 Henley Place and is open daily from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Henley on Hudson

Amid intermittent signs that the recession may be near an end and the housing recovery is underway, joint venture partners Lennar Urban and Roseland Property Company have broken ground on a new phase of homes at Henley on Hudson at Port Imperial, the collection of European-inspired residences located along the Hudson River in Weehawken, N.J. facing midtown Manhattan.

Foundations are poured and framing is underway on the new six-story building which is expected to be completed in August, 2010.   The new construction activity reflects the developers’ vast resources and commitment to staying the course which enable them to forge ahead while other sites lay quiet around the region.  It also comes in response to an increase in demand at the community marked by a flurry of recent sales which signifies an apparent awakening of the dormant market.

“We’ve witnessed a noticeable uptick in sales activity recently and are delighted to come out of the ground with this new offering of homes,” notes Michael Skea, Director of Operations for Lennar Urban’s Northeast Division.

“We’ve had 54 closings to date which have translated to an active residential neighborhood fueled by social interaction and a strong sense of community.  We also enjoy the distinct advantage of having the second largest homebuilder in the country at the helm.  Lennar clearly believes in the community, is encouraged by the success to date, and has the strength and where-with-all to deliver on its promise of creating the area’s most exceptional residential address.”

Henley on Hudson features 164 homes in all including classic multi-level brownstones, expansive condominium residences and luxurious penthouses featuring from 1,716 to 3,744 square feet of living space at prices ranging from $1.35 million to $2.6 million.

The four-story Brownstones were designed to represent the traditional urban multi-level architecture commonly seen in upscale Manhattan streetscapes.   Homes feature grand layouts with private entrances, two-car garages, private elevators and soaring living spaces.   The multi-level design lives like an exceptionally appointed single-family estate residence, while waterfront terraces with views of Manhattan create an ambiance that is entirely urban-chic.
