The Vue in downtown New Brunswick has been the clear winner in the eyes of the public as an impressive 70 percent of the new luxury building’s 42 penthouse condominiums have already been sold and all of its 150 rental residences have been leased.
The impressive milestones reflect the wide-spread appeal of the new 23-story mixed-use building, which also features upscale amenities, exciting street-level retail, and direct connectivity to the New Brunswick Train Station via a pedestrian walkway.
While sales activity has been swift, premium ownership opportunities for the prime upper-floor condominium homes are available for immediate occupancy at prices starting from $320,000.
“The Vue has successfully introduced an upscale living experience in the heart of a dynamic downtown setting teeming with cultural, dining and recreational pursuits,” notes Christopher J. Paladino, president of the New Brunswick Development Corporation (DEVCO), which developed The Vue in partnership with Pennrose Properties and retained The Marketing Directors, Inc. as the building’s exclusive sales, leasing and marketing agent.
“The building’s direct walkway connection to the New Brunswick Train Station and convenient location just steps from a variety of retail and social establishments embraces the appeal of downtown urban living and provides residents with the lifestyle they desire,” he adds. Residents of The Vue barely have to leave their homes to enjoy some of New Brunswick’s newest lifestyle attractions, as the building features 57,000-square-feet of retail space in its first two stories, including the recently opened, full-scale Barnes & Noble bookstore featuring a Starbucks café that is also serving as the Rutgers University Book Store, and a Brother Jimmy’s BBQ restaurant. There’s also a 657-space on-site parking garage. In addition, Wellness Plaza, which will include The Fresh Grocer, the first full-service supermarket in New Brunswick in more than a generation, is nearly completed across the street and slated to open this November.
The Vue’s collection of one- and twobedroom penthouse condominiums offer from 773 to 1,216 square feet of living space and feature upscale living spaces with lustrous wood flooring throughout the living and dining area, plush carpeting in the bedrooms, oversized windows, and the convenience of an in-home washer and dryer. Open gourmet kitchens offer rich custom cabinetry, smooth granite countertops, porcelain tile floors and a top tier GE Energy Star stainless steel appliance suite. Master baths are beautifully appointed with opulent marble flooring, custom vanities with silver grey granite countertops and oversized stall showers, while secondary baths are adorned with high-design choices such as sueded cappuccino hues, and an elegant soaking tub.
“Residents also enjoy an exciting suite of amenities that enhances the overall lifestyle at The Vue,” notes Jacqueline Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors Inc. “These include an attended, custom designed lobby; fully equipped fitness center and residents-only lounge featuring a billiards table, flat screen televisions, WiFi business bar and a catering kitchen and conference room. In addition, The Vue has partnered with Verizon’s Virtual Concierge service to provide residents with additional services such as dining and building event reservations, and the ability to manage local vendors (i.e. dry cleaner, florist, housekeeping service, etc.) remotely.
