Birch House’s 337 upscale rental residences on Jersey City’s West Side is 70% leased, according to a Monday announcement from developer Halpern Real Estate.
The noteworthy milestone was reached following strong leasing velocity that facilitated over 150 leases signed in the past four months alone.
Birch House features a mix of studios, one-, and two-bedroom homes.
According to Corcoran Group Marketing, the property’s exclusive marketing and leasing agent, several factors can be attributed to the community’s widespread appeal and success in Hudson County’s competitive rental market.
First, is the opportunity to move into a high-end rental building with oversized, well-appointed homes at a more compelling price compared to Downtown Jersey City and Hoboken. Residents also appreciate its green-centric design and a five-star amenity collection that features a one-of-a-kind nature component outside and in.
“Birch House has quickly set a new standard on the West Side by delivering a unique lifestyle experience that combines modern design and amenities with eco-friendly features and considerable open space,” Joel Halpern, president of Halpern Real Estate Ventures said. “Based on our leasing success, the property has proven to offer all the attributes today’s renter seeks. The apartments provide open and functional layouts. There’s also considerable outdoor space for residents to enjoy, whether it’s the private balconies offered in most of the homes or the roof deck and courtyard. The ability to feature so much space inside and out has been a strong contributor to our popularity.”
