HOBOKEN, N.J. — More than 200 residents celebrated the opening of the landscaped rooftop deck of Independence at The Shipyard recently with a cocktail party showcasing the community's 25-meter outdoor swimming pool and hot tub.
With spectacular Manhattan skyline and Hudson River views serving as the backdrop, residents enjoyed live music, great food and the opportunity to socialize with one-another in a friendly, neighborhood environment.
The management-planned event is yet another example of the lively social atmosphere that exists at the new luxury rental community located on Hoboken's northern waterfront, according to Applied Development Company, the community's developer.
"The party allowed many residents to meet each other for the first time and establish new friendships and relationships while also unveiling the landscaped deck and pool, one of the community's outstanding amenities," notes Michael Barry, an Applied principal.
"It was certainly well-received, leading us to consider additional resident parties throughout the summer season."
More than 75% of the elegant residences at Independence are leased as renters continue to respond to the community's spacious designs, Manhattan-style amenities and services and an unparalleled waterfront location.
Monthly rents currently range from $1,775 for studios, from $2,145 for one-bedroom residences, from $2,695 for two-bedroom layouts and from $4,650 for three-bedroom residences. A selection of townhomes is also available with rents starting at $4,995.
Independence, which offers 335 luxury residences in two 13-story buildings, is the latest addition to The Shipyard, a vibrant community with a neighborhood atmosphere complemented by a wide array of upscale retail shops and services, a one-acre landscaped park, onsite ferry service to Manhattan and a Marina and Yacht Club.
The buildings are connected by a four-story, enclosed parking garage with the rooftop deck on top. Each tower boasts an impressive marble lobby with a 24-hour doorman, while children can socialize in a nautical-themed interactive play center featuring a pirate ship and Starfish Café. There's also billiards and screening rooms, a multi-purpose community room available for meetings and private functions, a bicycle and carriage storage room, individual resident storage and convenient onsite parking.
Residents can also take advantage of 24-hour concierge service and the community's 2,500 square-foot, multi-level fitness center complete with state-of-the-art cardiovascular and weight-training equipment, free weights and treadmills. Private trainers are available, as is instruction for aerobics, yoga and kickboxing.
"What's more, onsite retail services include Fresh Ideas, Kings market, Starbucks, Hollywood Video and Sparrows wine store," points out Adrienne Albert, President of The Marketing Directors, Inc., Independence's exclusive marketing and rental consultant. "And Hoboken's eclectic charm and numerous dining and recreational pursuits are just steps away."
Many of the homes feature balconies and terraces, while all residences offer oak parquet floors in the living areas, high ceilings, and kitchens with maple cabinetry, handsome granite-patterned countertops, stainless steel sinks, and General Electric appliances including a frost-free refrigerator, range, microwave oven and dishwasher.
Bathrooms offer white ceramic tile accented with almond accents, fashionable Delta faucets, Kohler fixtures, and tri-view mirrored medicine cabinets and vanities. Residences also include an individual washer and dryer and high-speed Internet access.
