1200 Avenue at Port Imperial, Weehawken, NJ

WEEHAWKEN, NJ—Lennar has completed construction of luxury condominiums at its 1200 Avenue at Port Imperial Development, and nearly all 40 of the units released for sale have been sold. The building has 103 units.

Weehawken, NJ Mayor Richard F. Turner says the success of 1200 Avenue at Port Imperial is part of a larger success story of the Weehawken waterfront, which has been one of the hottest residential real estate markets on the New Jersey Gold Coast in recent years.

“When we started this process, this was totally vacant land,” Mayor Turner says. “We had some piers and some old rusting buildings left. Over the years, a lot of people spent a lot of time to bring us to where we are today. And what you see is a total transformation of the waterfront.”

Located on the banks of the Hudson River facing midtown Manhattan, 1200 Avenue at Port Imperial is the second building to open within Lennar's Avenue Collection, a series of modern, amenity-rich residential properties that deliver a new generation of chic condominium living to the New Jersey Gold Coast. The initial offering, the 74-unit 1000 Avenue at Port Imperial, sold out last year.

“We're delighted to stand here today and officially unveil 1200 Avenue at Port Imperial,” said Craig Klingensmith, division president of Lennar Northeast, at ribbon-cutting ceremonies last week. “The completed property ushers in a new era of modern architectural design, superior amenities and services and stylish living spaces that is fulfilling our vision of transforming one of the most scenic stretches of waterfront property into a boutique, waterfront lifestyle experience unlike any other in the marketplace.”

Designed by Manhattan-based Handel Architects, 1200 Avenue at Port Imperial has a glass exterior with brick and metal panel accents, large windows and private balconies/terraces in most homes with views of The Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.

Amenities include a grand salon lobby, library lounge, media screening room, children's playroom, and state-of-the-art fitness center with men's and women's locker rooms with sauna and steam showers. On the 7th floor, the Skyline Social Room features a lounge space, catering kitchen, bar, multiple gathering areas with fireplaces, sound system and televisions; an internet lounge and more — all set against the New York City skyline.

Outside, a third-floor landscaped plaza includes a sun shelf swimming pool, a catering bar, garden spaces with multiple seating areas and a fire pit with motorized shade trellis.

“The private amenities serve as an extension to each home,” says Klingensmith. “Whether moving up to more living space or scaling down from no-longer-needed single-family homes, residents have the luxury of entertaining in a multitude of indoor and outdoor spaces that enhance their lifestyle experience.”

One-to-three-bedroom residences with 887 to 3,139 square feet of living space are available at prices starting from $759,000. Most residences feature private outdoor space ranging as much as 1,036 square feet.

CORRECTION, 6/22/2016: The 1200 Avenue at Port Imperial project has 103 units. An earlier version of this story did not reflect that information because of an editing error, and an earlier correction incorrectly attributed the reason for the omission.
