Landings at HarborSide Luxury Waterfront Community in Perth Amboy, NJ, Welcomes its First Residents

Buyers Moving Into First Residential Building

Perth Amboy, N.J. (PRWEB) July 16, 2006 -- The moving trucks have arrived, the unpacking is in progress, and the neighborhood is coming alive as the first buyers move into the luxurious new Landings at HarborSide community situated along Perth Amboy’s historic waterfront.

“They are arriving just in time to take advantage of summertime walks along the water and leisurely afternoons on sun-dappled balconies and patios,” said Sam Gershwin, president of Westminster Communities, the project’s developer. “They are also looking forward to all the amenities that this mixed-use community will afford when completed. It will combine all the benefits of city life, yet retain a small town feel.”

The Landings at HarborSide ultimately will include approximately 2,200 townhomes and mid-rise luxury condominiums as well as shops, cafes, parks, a health club and a marina laid out where the Staten Island Sound meets the Raritan Bay.

The Admiral is the first building to be occupied. All 78 units in this lavish residential complex sold out within just a few weeks of initial marketing. It is comprised of two six-story condominium towers and 14 low-rise residences. Homes range from approximately 900 to 2,000 square feet, and The Admiral’s design incorporates a shared courtyard just above street level, a two-level parking deck and street-level amenities.

“The setting is lovely, and after living in a two-story house for many years, I really appreciate single-level living without having to climb stairs,” said Daniel Santo Pietro, who just moved into a two-bedroom corner condominium unit on the second floor. “I had a fairly large home in Metuchen, but with all the kids now on their own, it was time to leave the suburbs and find something in an urban area where I can walk to everything I need.”

Santo Pietro is awed by the views. “I have a large living room with windows overlooking the expansive Raritan Bay on one side and the park and shops on the other,” he said. “I have been watching the revitalization taking place here in Perth Amboy, and I’ve been very impressed with the Mayor’s foresight and with the Landings at HarborSide community. I like the fact that it is not an age-restricted community and will include diverse people from all generations. I also like knowing that there will be a health center right next door; with my hectic work schedule, I can work out whenever I want. And, most of all, the homes are beautifully designed, and the layouts are wonderful.”

Progress at Subsequent Buildings Continues
The second residential building, the 86-unit Bay View, is now under construction and demand is strong. Sales for the third building, The Forrestal, are scheduled to commence soon. All three luxurious residential buildings include one- and two-bedroom, single-level condominiums; three-bedroom, two-bath duplexes; and townhomes with private rooftop patios. Many of the homes also have balconies and private patio entrances. These units range in size from approximately 960 to 2,500 square feet and are priced from the low $300,000s to over $700,000.

All residences have secure underground parking; easy-maintenance brick exteriors; professionally designed, landscaped and secure courtyards; dramatic oversized windows; separate laundry areas; designer kitchens with GE appliances; designer baths with cultured marble vanity tops and ceramic-tiled walls and floors; and much more.

In addition to the health club located in the Admiral building, the planned amenities within The Landings at HarborSide include a small amphitheater, a community building for indoor activities and a four-mile walkway along the waterfront. A homeowner’s association will ensure that residents are free from the worries of shoveling snow or mowing lawns.

The community is easily reached via the New Jersey Turnpike, Garden State Parkway, Routes 287 and 440, and public train and bus service. It is also just minutes from Perth Amboy’s thriving downtown.

The Landings at HarborSide’s award-winning Sales and Design Center is open seven days a week, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and by appointment.
