BOUTIQUE RENTAL STARLING SURGES PAST 75% LEASED IN JERSEY CITY’S BERGEN-LAFAYETTE
Upscale Building Features High-End Studio-to-Three Bedroom Homes and Inspired Amenities
JERSEY CITY, NJ, July 2024 – More than 75% of the upscale rental residences at Starling have been leased, according to development partners Alpine Residential and Fields Grade.
This quaint, boutique collection of luxury apartments in Jersey City’s resurgent Bergen-Lafayette has experienced high leasing velocity driven by sophisticated renters attracted to its offering of thoughtfully constructed apartment homes, inspired amenities, and energetic city vibe.
Starling features a mix of studio to three-bedroom apartments, priced from $2,787 and offered with limited-time incentives that include up to two months free. South Oxford Management, an affiliated company of Alpine Residential, is handling its leasing program and management.
“Starling has effectively tapped into a pool of renters who want to enjoy the vibrancy and spirit of downtown apartment living in homes with a tremendous amount of space, style and comfort,” said Todd Schefler, Managing Partner of Alpine Residential. “We are seeing high interest from all walks of life, whether someone looking to establish roots in this neighborhood or others who want to significantly upgrade their apartment lifestyle.”
With lease activity moving swiftly, the Starling team has also unveiled the full suite of amenities at the eye-catching six-story building. Designed to foster a sense of tranquility, wellness and ease, Starling offers a rooftop lounge, outdoor dining and seating area, state-of-the-art fitness center, co-working spaces, and an indoor golf simulator. Services encompass a virtual doorman, package room, bike storage, access to electric scooters, and Tulu, an on-demand smart rental store offering high-quality household and lifestyle products. There’s also limited indoor garage parking to include EV charging stations.
“This amenity package has been perfectly designed to fit the boutique lifestyle at Starling,” remarked Rob Giannone, Director of Development for Fields Grade. “We’ve created modern, well-appointed recreational and social spaces where residents can expand their living spaces, whether it’s working, relaxing or enjoying an athletic activity. It’s the perfect complement to the ultra-luxe apartments.”
Homes at Starling feature oversized windows with complimentary treatments that bathe the living space in natural light. Designer appointments include luxury plank flooring throughout, custom modular closets, in-home washer and dryer, smart lock entry, and remote thermostats. Gourmet kitchens boast stainless steel Energy Star appliances, Quartz countertops with a waterfall edge, Kohler fixtures, under-cabinet lighting, and full height tiled back splashes. Sleek bathrooms are adorned with Kohler fixtures, full height tiled baths and showers and soft close cabinetry. Select homes offer outdoor terraces.
Throughout Starling, a carefully curated collection of artwork captures the essence of Jersey City’s vibrant art scene. From murals by world-renowned artists to the diverse architecture and neighborhood life, the collection celebrates the city's creativity. Upon entering the building, residents and guests are welcomed by works showcasing Jersey City's street art scene, a theme that continues throughout amenities spaces adorned with local art and stocked with books from local authors, providing a connection to the Jersey City art community.
Street-level retail at Starling is home to The Roxy, a new venture from some of the team behind Corto in Jersey City Heights. The restaurant will soon be joined by MochiDough/BoberTea, a premium Japanese donut and bubble tea shop, at the building.
Located at 66 Monitor Street, Starling lies in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood which is gaining notoriety for its open green spaces, small-town neighborhood charm and dynamic lifestyle options. Access to Downtown Jersey City is effortless, thanks to the Liberty State Park Bridge. The scenic route through the park strengthens connections between neighborhoods, including the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Liberty Park Station. Nearby Route 78 offers convenient access to the Holland Tunnel and points west. For outdoor enthusiasts, Liberty State Park provides over 1,200 acres of open space, a two-mile waterfront promenade, an outdoor performance area, and a celebrated restaurant with panoramic views of the Hudson River, Manhattan skyline, and Statue of Liberty.
