New Luxury Residential Communities In New York City And Along
New Jersey’s Gold Coast See Increased Traffic And Sales
NEW YORK, NY – The housing market pendulum has finally begun to shift and under the direction of The Marketing Directors, Inc., several new luxury residential communities in New York City and along New Jersey’s Gold Coast have experienced a significant increase in traffic and sales.
The Visionaire — Battery Park City’s celebrated Platinum LEED Certified “Green” building — is an apt case in point, registering over 26 sales since the beginning of the summer, while 19 luxury condos have been sold at Midtown’s Platinum in the past four months — including seven sales in November.
Just across the river, New Jersey Gold Coast communities Henley on Hudson and Crystal Point are mirroring the success of their big city counterparts.
Rising along the Hudson River in Weehawken, N.J. facing midtown Manhattan, Henley on Hudson, which is part of Port Imperial, one of the country’s largest master-planned developments, has recorded 11 sales recently — all over $1 million. Crystal Point, the iconic 42-story waterfront building rising in Jersey City’s sought-after downtown area, is the site of 35 condominium sales in the last eight weeks.
“Over the past few months we have seen many signs pointing to a resurgence in the housing market, among them being the influx of both new homebuyers and those who took themselves out of the market but are now returning with renewed confidence, ready to make a deal,” says Adrienne Albert, Founder and CEO of The Marketing Directors, Inc., which has been directing marketing and sales programs for high-density developments across the country since 1980.
“But the process of first attracting target audiences and then bringing them through closing has changed, requiring us more than ever to conceive and execute comprehensive and forward-thinking programs that demonstrate quality and value and ultimately drive sales.”
