(Bayonne, NJ) – Bayonne Mayor Jimmy Davis today announced the sale of approximately 30 acres of the former Military Ocean Terminal (“MOTBY”) to Atlantic Realty of Woodbridge. Atlantic Realty was designated the developer in 2006 under Mayor Doria. The plan calls for construction of 525 residential units, park space, new roads and addition to the Hudson River Walkway. The Project has long been delayed by lawsuits that were finally settled in the spring of 2015 under Mayor Davis. According to the Developer, Jack Halpern, they hope to be under construction by the fall or early spring of 2018 at the latest.

Mayor Davis stated, “This is a long awaited event in the development of MOTBY and for the future direction of Bayonne. The actual transfer of land to a developer is the result of many hours spent by my administration in removing the obstacles to development that have long prevented Bayonne from realizing the potential of this land.” Council President Sharon Ashe Nadrowski indicated, “After sixteen years itâ€s time to deliver on the promises that were made long ago and begin building for our future. I am just happy that I could be a part of making this a reality and look forward to the other developments that are also scheduled to take place on MOTBY and throughout town.”

Bayonne Bay West is a small part of the overall plan for development at MOTBY. In addition to this development, the City expects Fidelco to begin construction shortly on 200 residential units at Harbor Station South and for JMF Development to initiate construction of substantial retail space at Harbor Station North. 

Mayor Davis noted, “Although this is a major development, it is part of an overall plan to redevelop the city. Bayonne is beginning to see the early signs of growth, with projects under way near the 22^nd street light rail station and on Broadway. Saint Barnabas is scheduled to be completed by July of 2017 and other developments are being planned for long abandoned empty lots and the expansion of South Cove Commons is on the horizon.

 Hoboken, NJ – Toll Brothers City Living®, the urban development division of Toll Brothers, Inc., (NYSE:TOL), the nationâ€s leading builder of luxury homes, is proud to announce that 1400 Hudson Street, the 12-story Dewitt Tishman-designed building in Hoboken, N.J., has surpassed the 70% sold mark. The project, which opened its sales gallery in the spring of 2016, is poised for a swift sellout, drawing buyers from the local community and beyond.

“1400 Hudson Street continues to receive a very strong response from buyers – and that response has gotten stronger now that weâ€ve sold out at our other Hoboken project, 1100 Maxwell Place,” said Henry L. Waller, Vice President for Toll Brothers City Living. “We are delighted that homebuyers at 1400 Hudson remain a mix of Hoboken newcomers as well as repeat buyers, many of whom are up-sizing from other Toll Brothers properties in the community. Hoboken continues to be a draw because of its neighborhood feel and the convenience of its location – only a few minutes commute to Manhattan. Those familiar with our Hudson Tea properties, or those who are discovering them for the first time, appreciate the high-quality of the homes and the many wonderful lifestyle amenities available on-site and nearby.”

Consisting of 236 residences, 1400 Hudson Streetâ€s interior design, conceived by interior designer Andres Escobar of Escobar Design by Lemay, was inspired by the former Lipton Tea factory in Hoboken and the areaâ€s historically industrial past. The building offers studios to three-bedroom condominiums, all featuring open floor plans and wide plank oak flooring throughout. Modern kitchens offer quartz stone countertops, custom wood cabinets, as well as Bosch and Thermador appliances. Baths include custom vanities, large glass showers, Kohler fixtures and rich porcelain floors. Select homes offer private balconies.

Residents have access to a wide-range of amenities, including a residents†lounge, billiard room, 24-hour attended lobby, fitness center, childrenâ€s playroom, dog wash room, and on-site parking. The outdoor amenities include a beautifully landscaped courtyard, rain garden, rooftop pool and two rooftop terraces perfect for taking in sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline. Bicycle and private storage are available, as well as a limited number of private rooftop terraces.

Situated one block from the waterfront, 1400 Hudson Street is within walking distance of the many boutiques, restaurants, lounges, and the Farmers†Market in Hobokenâ€s north end. Just minutes from Manhattan, the building is closely located to the NY Waterway ferry. Residents will enjoy complimentary shuttle service to the nearby PATH and NJ Transit stations and the downtown ferry terminal, allowing for convenient and speedy commutes to the city and elsewhere. Residents also have access to surrounding waterfront parks.

Toll Brothers City Living has a long track record of development in the area. After acquiring the Hudson Tea Buildings in 2003 and converting them to luxury condominiums, Toll Brothers City Living has since built two new condo projects, Harborside Lofts and 1450 Washington, as well as a public waterfront park. In addition to 1400 Hudson Street, Toll Brothers is planning one additional condominium project for the Hudson Tea community.

Sales and marketing for 1400 Hudson Street are being handled by Toll Brothers City Living. Prices begin in the mid-$700â€s and go through $2M. The building is expected to welcome its first residents into their new homes in early 2017. The sales gallery is located at 1450 Washington Street, Hoboken, NJ 07030.

Located west of Liberty State Park, and similar to other changing communities in Jersey City, Lafayette is the cityâ€s newest up-and-coming neighborhood. A new addition in the works for Lafayette is the Baker Building by Point Capital Development, a collection of luxury apartments under construction at 234 Suydam Avenue.

The Baker Building has a total of 83 units priced from $1,500-$2,450 per month for 1-2-and-3 bedroom rentals.  Public amenities include on-site parking, a gym, and on each floor, a laundry room; a fire pit, cooking grills, dog run, and on-site management. Baker Building is located between the Liberty State Park and Garfield Avenue stops on the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, and is less than one mile from both Liberty State Park and the Liberty Science Center.

John Fio Rito of Point Capital Development recently spoke to River View Observer (RVO) about what led Point Capital Development to build the property in the Lafayette section of Jersey City; and the projectâ€s progress to date.

RVO: How would you describe the Baker Building to someone only generally familiar with Jersey City?

JF: In a nutshell: A first-class building that is an affordable answer to luxury living in a high-cost area. Itâ€s location to mass transit makes downtown Jersey City and lower Manhattan reachable within 15 minutes.

RVO: Is there a particular amenity of the Baker Building that you enjoy most?

JF: The roof deck. Other than the Liberty Science Center and Liberty State Park, there is nothing between the Baker Building and the Hudson River; the views are panoramic.

RVO: How is the Baker Building affordable when compared to other luxury buildings in Jersey City?

JF: The Lafayette neighborhood is underappreciated, because although it is very close to downtown, it is seen as a periphery neighborhood with a lot of vacant, former industrial uses. The land cost is lower and so we are able to pass that on and provide the same downtown product at a less expensive price.

RVO: Was it always the plan to put this building in the Lafayette area? Was its design specific to this lot of land?

JF: The design is specific to the site and the neighborhood. Iâ€ve completed 11 projects in downtown Jersey City over the last 10 years, and six additional projects in other wards of the city. In 2013, I saw the downtown land costs start to rise dramatically and thatâ€s when I started looking in Lafayette It took me over a year before I found this site. When you move out of a well-established area, you have to have very specific criteria in order to ensure the projectâ€s success. I like geographically definable areas, preferably with un-crossable boundaries, that drive development vertically, rather than sprawl it.

I also wanted to be close to mass transit and I wanted a parcel large enough for a substantial project that would make an impact. I also wanted something that would either reclaim unused land or repurpose an existing structure, so there wouldnâ€t be a concern about displacing current residents. I found all of that at the end of Suydam Avenue. The long side fronting Suydam is clad in brick to evoke a feeling of the areaâ€s industrial past; and the back, which faces NYC, is clad in alternating colored panels for a more modern look. The intent is to capture the juxtaposition of old and new in an area in transition.

The Baker Building will be offering tours of its apartments in early March. Photos and floor plans can be viewed on the building’s website, www.BakerBuilding-JerseyCity.com, where residential applications are also posted.

Donald Trumpâ€s former Connecticut mansion that he bought at age 35 is for sale and featured this week at TopTenRealEstateDeals.com.

“Donald Trump’s First Mansion”

Donald Trump was born into the real estate business in 1946 in New York City where his father, Fred Trump, was a developer. Donald got a jump-start in the business while he was still in college in the 1960s working menial jobs at his father’s lower middle-class apartment complex in Cincinnati.  In 1971, he moved back to New York City where he took over his father’s company changing the name to The Trump Organization and earned a reputation as a fast-rising real estate tycoon on hotel, condominium and casino projects. In 1986, he made a deal with New York City Mayor Ed Koch to renovate Central Park’s Wollman Rink. The ice skating rink was going on its seventh year of renovations when Trump volunteered to finish and finance the restoration with his own money. He completed the job in just three months.With his business success and wealth, Trump owns a roster of mansions. His main home is a posh three-level penthouse at Trump Tower on New York’s Fifth Avenue where he also runs his vast business operations. Also in the Gotham area, in 1996 Trump purchased a 60-room mansion in Bedford, New York with three pools and a bowling alley. He later bought Albemarle, a 23,000-square-foot mansion, vineyard and winery on 2,000 acres in Virginia for $12.7 million, a fraction of the original asking price of $100 million. Trump also keeps a large home on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills.

When he isn’t running for president, firing someone or saying something controversial, Trump relaxes at his Mar-A-Lago mansion in Palm Beach, Florida that he purchased in 1985 for $10 million. The 1920’s mansion with 62,000 square feet and over 100 rooms was originally built for Post Cereal heiress, Marjorie Merriweather Post. Trump upgraded it to a private resort with initiation fees of $100,000, annual dues of $12,000 and nightly rates up to $3,000. Mar-A-Lago guests have included Bill Clinton, Regis Philbin, Tony Bennett and Barbara Walters.

Trump was only 35 in 1982 when he and wife, Ivana, purchased their first mansion, a 5.8 acre home on a peninsula in Greenwich, Connecticut for $4 million. Always a family-oriented business, Ivana was also remodeling the Plaza Hotel in Manhattan in the early 1980s and was able to incorporate many of the same materials in the decoration of their new home creating a residence dripping in gold leaf, elegant chandeliers and crown moldings. When they divorced in 1991 after 15 years of marriage, Ivana won the mansion in the property settlement. She sold the Greenwich home for $15 million in 1998, and the mansion’s new owners immediately began a renovation to tone it down to more livable neutrals and added tennis courts as well as a 4,000-square-foot addition which includes guest suites, a lap pool and a sauna. It is currently for sale at $54 million.

Originally built in 1939, the 19,773-square-foot Georgian Colonial-style main house and a guest house have eight bedrooms, thirteen baths, a three-story rotunda foyer with double grand staircase, formal rooms overlooking views of the pool, grounds and Long Island Sound, home theater, a putting green, multiple terraces and patios, tennis courts and three fully-equipped staff apartments.

Awaiting a new Greenwich billionaire resident, Donald Trumpâ€s former Connecticut mansion with major additions, six waterfront acres and private boat dock. The listing agent is Tamar Lurie of Coldwell Banker in Greenwich, Connecticut.
