Bayonne. N.J. – Nearly 20% of the 544 apartments at Alexan CityView has been rented during the first two months of leasing at the upscale waterfront neighborhood located in the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor in this Hudson County City.
The impressive opening demonstrates a strong market demand for apartments that offer elegant and luxurious interior designs, spectacular Manhattan-inspired amenities highlighted by a 9,000 square-foot WiFi-enabled clubhouse and outdoor heated pool and sundeck, a commuter-friendly location and attractive rental rates that belie the upscale offering, according to Trammell Crow Residential, developer of the new community which is on pace to be the largest LEED-Certified multifamily community in the United States. "Renting more than 100 apartments since the start of summer speaks volumes about the public’s positive response to this exceptional new community,” notes Richard Murphy, Managing Director of Trammell Crow Residential. “We’ve created an exciting new alternative to Gold Coast living with apartments that masterfully blend expansive living spaces with upscale finishes and appointments, a comprehensive suite of amenities and services that approximates to a luxury resort, and a sprawling waterfront site that’s just blocks from the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail and a short trip into neighboring Hoboken, Jersey City and Manhattan.”
Alexan CityView offers spacious studio, one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments at monthly rents currently starting from $1,595. A selection of townhomes is also available with rents starting at $3,265. Renters can take advantage of special lease programs, including two months free for those who lease now and options of up to 24 month lease terms.
While the apartments embody all of the elements of an elegant lifestyle, the hallmark of Alexan CityView is the community’s dramatic clubhouse which features a fully-equipped fitness center with children’s playroom, indoor half basketball court, executive business center, media lounge and club with billiards, tabletop shuffleboard, teaching kitchen and numerous HDTVs. Outside, a magnificent heated pool and sundeck can be found. Residents can also take advantage of a 24-hour virtual concierge service and controlled-entry enclosed parking garage. "A neighborhood dog park and plenty of open green space with well-manicured courtyards will be added as development progresses,” adds Karen Kossow, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Kettler Management, which is handling leasing and property management services for Alexan CityView. “What’s more, a shuttle is available to whisk residents to and from Alexan CityView to the Hudson Bergen Light-Rail Station which offers easy access into New York City via PATH Trains and ferries in neighboring Jersey City.”
The first residents have moved into Alexan CityView and have been quick to notice the high level of customer service, dedication and attention to detail that comes with a professional staff well-versed in the management of rental communities. One of the first to call Alexan CityView home is Patricia Velazquez., who felt compelled to write a letter about the excellent experience she and her husband had at the community during their apartment search. “I was so impressed by the support and service provided by Sara Cox,” Ms. Velazquez wrote about her appointed Alexan CityView Rental Agent. “In an era where exceptional one-to-one customer service excellence has virtually disappeared from our industry, the work that Sara did should be held up as an example for others to try to emulate. Sara's extraordinary commitment to excellence in customer service and support motivated her to always go the extra mile.”
Situated on an expansive 297-acre site along New York Harbor, Alexan CityView offers panoramic views of Manhattan, the Verrazano Bridge and the spectacular Bayonne Golf Club. The community’s location offers easy access to the New Jersey Turnpike and Routes 78 and 440 and is just minutes from the Holland Tunnel, while the nearby Hudson Bergen Light Rail offers convenient service to Jersey City, Hoboken, PATH Trains, ferries and other “Gold Coast” attractions.
The meticulously-designed apartments provide the utmost in modern luxury and appeal.

Generous closet space and nine-foot ceilings are provided in the living areas.

The 544-unit Alexan CityView, the largest LEED for Homes multifamily community in the country, is officially open with the recent move-in of the first residents of the luxury rental community, according to Richard Murphy, managing director of Trammel Crow Residential (TCR), developer of the property.
Alexan CityView, offering studio to three bedroom units, is situated on 297 acres on the Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor at 302 Constitution Ave.
Today, Murphy conducted a guided tour of Alexan CityView, including the 10,000-square-foot clubhouse as well as model apartments, for Jeanne M. Fox, president of the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJ BPU) and Nate Kredich, vice president, residential market development, U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC).
Working in close association with the NJ BPU, the New Jersey Clean Energy Program and the USGBC, TCR designed and built Alexan CityView as a sustainable structure in accordance with the stringent rating requirements of the LEED for Homes Silver certification.
“Alexan CityView was specifically designed and carefully constructed to minimize the environmental impact beginning with the efficient use of the land, and carrying through to its use and disposal of building materials, efficient use of energy, responsible conservation and use of water and of course, a healthy indoor environmental quality,” Murphy emphasized.
For example, each apartment is equipped with exhaust systems to remove humidity, dust and other airborne particles on a continuous basis. Other environmentally-friendly highlights and features of Alexan CityView include:
“Investing in energy-efficient homes through the New Jersey Energy Star Homes program is one of the many ways to support the goals of Governor Corrine’s Energy Master Plan,” said Fox. “Trammel Crow’s Alexan CityView development will reduce greenhouse gases, improve air quality and help ensure a safe, reliable and secure energy future for New Jersey,” she added.
In commenting about Alexan CityView, Kredich said that the “LEED rating system is considered the benchmark standard for green building. LEED for Homes serves as a ‘nutrition label’ giving a clear and concise picture of all of the ways a home, such as Alexan CityView, performs at a higher level.”
The Alexan CityView will offer its residents a comprehensive menu of amenities including a fully equipped fitness studio, indoor basketball half court, executive business center, heated pool with sundeck and WiFi, controlled-entry enclosed garage parking, neighborhood dog park, on demand 24/7 concierge services.

Kettler, one of greater Washington D.C’s largest real estate development and property management companies, today announced the topping off of its $129 million high-rise luxury apartment building, The Millennium at Metropolitan Park.
On schedule for initial occupancy late this year, The Millennium is located on 2.57 prime acres in Pentagon City, Va. and will offer 300 apartments over 18-stories, a 350-vehicle controlled-access underground parking garage and nearly 8,000 square feet of retail space.
HOK, a Washington, D.C.-based architectural firm, designed The Millennium exterior and Dorskey Hodgson Parrish Yue is the architect of record. Forrest Perkins, an interior design firm headquartered in Washington, D.C., is leading the design of the building’s distinctive contemporary and sleek interiors.
“The Millennium’s dramatic two-story, see-through lobby is a key focal point of the building,” said John Chappelear, senior vice president, multifamily and condominium operations for Kettler.
“We took great care with The Millennium’s exterior architecture and interior design to ensure that it compliments The Gramercy, the adjacent high rise apartment building, while also giving The Millennium its own unique identity,” Chappelear added.
When completed, The Millennium will feature several green amenities including Energy Star appliances and light fixtures in every apartment, environmentally-friendly finish materials throughout the building and a spectacularly landscaped, 1.3 acre park which will serve as a green roof over the underground garage.
Other features of The Millennium include a swimming pool, large and well appointed party room, spa, business center, library and a fitness center outfitted with a variety of interactive cardio and strength training equipment as well as a climbing wall.
The Millennium is the second community in Metropolitan Park, an eight-phase master planned development that will offer over 3,200 multifamily units when completed in 10-15 years. The Gramercy, Metropolitan Park’s first community, opened in 2007 and is immediately adjacent to The Millennium. Metropolitan Park was planned by Robert A. M. Stern, a world renowned architect, and features a two-acre public park complete with commissioned artwork by local and national artists.
