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.”
