Hartz Mountain Industries marked the official grand opening of Fairways at Cranford with a ribbon-cutting ceremony that brought together local officials, real estate professionals and community members to celebrate the new 250-unit luxury apartment community in Union County.
Held on-site at 750 Walnut Avenue, the event featured remarks from Hartz President and COO Gus Milano, who spoke about the project’s thoughtful planning, strategic development and its role in shaping lifestyle-driven living in suburban New Jersey.
“Fairways at Cranford represents Hartz Mountain Industries’ commitment to creating high-quality, well-designed communities that reflect the needs and aspirations of today’s renters,” said Milano.
In addition to offering modern residential options, the development, which was announced in December 2024, supports the economic vitality of Cranford and Union County. The property underscores Hartz’s ongoing dedication to smart residential growth in vibrant, well-connected neighborhoods.
During the ribbon-cutting ceremony, remarks were given by representatives from March Construction and Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners, the project’s construction manager and architectural firm, respectively. Both firms highlighted the collaboration, design vision and quality construction that brought the Fairways at Cranford to life. Guests at the celebration enjoyed light refreshments, live music, guided tours and a first look at the new community, which blends natural surroundings with contemporary living.
Set against the backdrop of the Hyatt Hills Golf Course, Fairways at Cranford offers modern one- and two-bedroom apartments and a full suite of resort-style amenities. Designed to meet the diverse needs of residents, the development incorporates high-end finishes such as quartz countertops and energy-efficient, stainless-steel appliances, sustainable building materials and state-of-the-art amenities such as custom closets to deliver a superior living experience.
The community’s recreation and social spaces are thoughtfully integrated throughout the property, including landscaped courtyards with grilling stations, a resident lounge with dining tables and bar seating, as well as a theater room.
