Lucky
new residents of Beachfront North in Long Branch are enjoying
the pleasures of this historic Jersey community, once a fashionable
resort destination for American presidents and other members
of high society. “The sea, the air, the oceanside Promenade
all appeal to the many second-home residents riding the wave
of Long Branch’s revival,” says Glenn Ward, director
of sales and marketing for the builder Matzel & Mumford,
working in a joint venture with Applied Development Company.
“The big draw is the waterfront,” says Ward, noting
that Beachfront North’s two-story Ocean Club seals the
deal with fitness center, pool and clubroom. Brand-new to
the area is Pier Village, an upbeat complex of shops, boutiques
and restaurants.
Beachfront North has a few 3 and 4BR townhouses left in the
segment called The Bluffs, which won a “Community of
the Year” award in 2004. Prices range from the upper
$800,000s to $2 million. The Grand Resorts, three buildings
with 179 single-level condos, is selling from the low $600,000s
to $1.5 million.

TOWERING
GRANDEUR
Continuum
II, a gleaming 37-story tower, is the latest addition to the
glam profile of Miami’s South Beach. Also known as the
North Tower, the showcase building will join Continuum’s
40-story South Tower at the southern tip of SoBe, featuring
ultra-chic residences with 1,500 to 7,000 sf of living space,
each embraced by stunning glass walls. The sweeping views
take in the Miami skyline, Miami Beach and Fisher Island.
1 to 4BRs and penthouses are available from $l.5 million to
$15 million.
Continuum, occupying a coveted 12.9-acre oceanfront parcel,
offers a luxurious, gated resort feel while being steps from
the nonstop electricity of South Beach. Towering royal palms,
lush landscaping and lagoon pools grace the tropical grounds,
crowned by a large spa and fitness center with a rooftop lap
pool. Take a short stroll off the grounds and you’re
at Joe’s Stone Crab or any number of restaurants, clubs
and cultural venues in the energized South of Fifth neighborhood.

HIGH
HOPES IN HAVERSTRAW
Haverstraw,
NY does not lack for rich history or scenic setting, and now
the Hudson River town is getting the infusion of 21st century
energy it’s long needed. Heading a $400 million waterfront
revitalization project, Ginsburg Development Corporation (GDC)
is currently building the first phase of what will be its 850-unit
Harbors at Haverstraw community, set on a broad, lovely stretch
of the river.
Martin Ginsburg, principal of GDC, calls the Hudson Valley “one
of the most beautiful places in America, and tragically one
of the most overlooked.” He foresees this onetime brick-making
center, 30 miles north of Manhattan, becoming a New York equivalent
to California’s Marin County, drawing tourists and residents
to its lively waterfront park.
The Harbors at Haverstraw is pricing its 2 and 3BR homes from
the mid $300,000s to nearly $1 million. The neo-traditional
style features stone and brickwork, with pitched roofs and balustrades,
melding contemporary lines with 19th century seaside flourishes.

“We’re
building many communities on long-neglected waterfront manufacturing
sites, and it’s a win-win for everyone,” says Clark Atwood,
general manager of Baker Residential’s northern New Jersey division.
“The consumer who loves waterfront living wins - so does the
developer and so does the town.” |
