The value of a professionally merchandised model home cannot be underestimated, as a fully furnished and decorated residence effectively demonstrates the floor plan’s living possibilities while appealing to prospective residents’ sense of lifestyle.
The ability of a model residence to showcase a home’s living spaces and connect with prospective residents has clearly been evident at The George, an upscale 14-story high-rise apartment building in downtown New Brunswick where new model homes have consistently spurred leasing activity. In fact, Pennrose, which developed and manages The George, just introduced the third one-bedroom model home in the building following the tremendous success of its two predecessors.
“You want people to be inspired when they walk through the residence and to envision themselves living there,” notes Lorena Gomez, regional property manager for Pennrose. “Our first two model homes helped us lease up two entire floor plan lines. The introduction of the third model home has once again displayed how these stylish living spaces fulfill the needs of today’s sophisticated renter.”
The one-bedroom model has been joined by a new fully furnished two-bedroom model that features a spacious 942- square-foot layout, open kitchen and ample closet space.
Lifestyle, location and value have played a pivotal role in the success of The George, which is now more than 65 percent leased, according to The Marketing Directors, The George’s exclusive marketing and leasing agent. The new collection of 104 residences features a variety of one- and two-bedroom homes -— including a select number of exclusive upperfloor penthouse homes — at monthly rents starting from the $1,800s for one-bedroom residences and the $2,200s for two-bedroom homes. Immediate occupancy is available.
Residents at The George enjoy an attended, social lobby lounge featuring a bar, TV and WiFi; onsite fitness center and Verizon Concierge services. In addition, preferred access is available at the newly opened, 60,000-square-foot Robert Wood Johnson (RWJ) Fitness & Wellness Center.
