First Residents Have Already Moved-In To 42-Story Condominium Building
JERSEY CITY, N.J. – Fisher Development Associates is kicking off 2010 at Crystal Point with several notable announcements at the iconic 42-story condominium building located directly on Jersey City’s Hudson River waterfront.
The most significant milestone is the arrival of the first-homeowners who are residing in their upscale new Crystal Point condominium homes and now enjoying an exciting upscale urban lifestyle at the collection of 269 luxurious homes and resort-style amenities.
The noteworthy announcements do not end there, indicates Brian Fisher, a principal of the firm that bears his name. The unveiling of a new sales center and model homes located within the building at 2 Second Street after the New Year has spurred impressive sales interest as buyers marvel at the magnificent water views which stretch from downtown Manhattan all the way to the George Washington Bridge and imagine themselves living in this sought-after residential address.
Visitors to Crystal Point have been extremely impressed with the amount of ongoing activity at the building. In addition to professionally-decorated model homes, they can now see for themselves the elegant lobby and sparkling exterior and the state-of-the-art amenities are expected to open within a few weeks.
“There’s certainly a buzz surrounding Crystal Point with our initial residents moving in,” Mr. Fisher points out. “With the building progressing so quickly, visitors can obtain a complete look at the lifestyle that awaits them at Crystal Point. From the magnificent lobby and welcoming concierge to the sleek and modern interiors and breathtaking views, homebuyers can see all that differentiates this building from the marketplace.”
In addition to the buying public, Crystal Point has been quick to grab acclaim from industry peers. The upscale condominium building has been honored with nine Silver Awards in The Nationals, the annual awards competition presented by the National Sales and Marketing Council (NSMC), including being singled out in the coveted Community of the Year category.
Crystal Point features a crystalline-style glass exterior and has been designed to maximize the building’s waterfront setting and views of the ever changing Manhattan skyline. Inside, one-, two-and three bedroom homes will range from 800 to 1,817 square-feet and offer an array of premium finishes. Residents will also benefit from free on-site parking.
“Features will include kitchens with Italian Pedini wood and glass cabinetry, sparkling quartzite counters, under-cabinet task lighting, full height pantries, islands with breakfast bars and a full Jenn-Air appliance suite,” points out Adrienne Albert, CEO of The Marketing Directors, Inc., Crystal Point’s marketing and exclusive sales agent.
“Floor-to-ceiling windows will drench the homes in natural light and many of the residences will offer river front balconies. Each residence will also have SMART home technology capabilities and a washer and dryer.”
Homes at Crystal Point are made even more attractive thanks to a 30-year tax abatement that has been granted to the building.
Crystal Point’s superb amenities include the Crystal Spa with a thermal bath, sauna, steam and treatment rooms. Residents will also enjoy a yoga/aerobics room, state-of-the-art fitness center, lounge with flat screen televisions, game room with billiard and poker tables, children’s play room and a screening room within the Crystal Club.
“An outdoor deck overlooking the Hudson River will feature a lap pool, hot tub, private cabanas and lounge chair seating, as well as a BBQ and dining area, fire pits and a children’s play area,” Ms. Albert says. “The building will also offer a professional concierge, valet parking and lobby level restaurant.”
Created by the renowned New York City architectural firm Gruzen Samton LLP, the distinctive design of the landmark Crystal Point building maximizes its unrivaled waterfront location and creates homes with modern, open and furnishable living areas.
“Unlike many high-rise developments which often seem cavernous with long hallways, we split the Crystal Point plan in half with elevators positioned in the middle of the residential floors to create short corridors and provide the building a very intimate feel,” says Jordan Gruzen (FAIA) of Gruzen Samton. “We utilized multiple façade planes to break the building‘s mass up and ensure that every home had magnificent views. Each condominium was designed so from the moment the front door of each home is opened one is aware of the views and the light emanating from the water.
“The layouts of the homes themselves often create large square rooms and sprawling living spaces that are open, airy and extremely functional.”
Crystal Point is conveniently located between the Paulus Hook and Newport sections of Jersey City and steps from PATH trains at both Exchange Place and Newport with direct access into New York City and a Light Rail station.
