Larken Associates’ 10-building, 198-unit project Autumn Ridge in Lopatcong is complete and fully occupied, the real estate developer announced on June 2.

Beginning construction in 2019, the luxury rental community has been the largest and most ambitious multifamily project completed by Larken to date.

Located at 1500 Hyde Blvd. just off of Route 57, Autumn Ridge is comprised of Autumn Ridge at Lopatcong, which includes 148 garden and garage-style units, and Horizons at Autumn Ridge, an age-restricted building with 50 units reserved for the 55-plus active adult community.

Through combining the affordability and accessibility of a suburban location in Warren County with a resort-like amenity package, flexible residential layouts and on-site property management, Larken Associates sought to forge a community that combines the best of suburban and urban living in one concept.

“Our multifamily development philosophy is based on a recognition that today’s apartment residents increasingly represent a broad cross-generational swath of our society at large,” said David Gardner, president and chief executive officer of Larken Associates. “The immediate success of the Autumn Ridge concept showcases the deep unmet demand from a wide variety of residents for this type of product in the current market. I thank our team for their hard work in bringing this vision to life and I am confident that the success of Autumn Ridge can inspire a new generation of multifamily communities geared to today’s apartment residents.”

Designed to incorporate the latest trends in multifamily development Autumn Ridge at Lopatcong offers a variety of spacious one and two-bedroom garden and garage-style apartments with gourmet kitchens, in-unit laundry, luxury vinyl plank flooring, quartz kitchen and bathroom countertops, private terraces, and stainless-steel appliances. The community’s one-bedroom apartments also feature dedicated den spaces that are perfect for work from home and virtual learning arrangements.

Featuring the same high-end finishes and in-unit amenities, Horizons at Autumn Ridge is a four-story, elevatored building with 50 modern one- and two-bedroom apartments.

The age-restricted building also boasts a heated private pool as well as a mailroom with a package concierge system, game area with card tables, reading nook, conference room, private gym, lounge with dry bar, and elevator lounges on each floor. Larken Associates also implemented WELLBEATS, a platform that offers streamable fitness classes that can be enjoyed on the active adult fitness center’s Smart TV or in residents’ homes via the WELLBEATS app.

The community at Autumn Ridge features a modern, centrally located clubhouse that boasts an outdoor heated pool with a covered outdoor lounge and a BBQ/grill station, game room, conference room, lounge/dry bar, package concierge system as well as a full onsite fitness center and sensory sensitive playground. The pet-friendly community offers a pet washing station, bark park and walking/ biking trails, providing further onsite recreational opportunities for residents.

The community’s technology integration even extends to its amenity offerings with app-enabled Sonos speakers and Smart TVs throughout the clubhouse.

Autumn Ridge provides onsite property management and 24/7 emergency maintenance from Larken Associates’ highly experienced Larken Living team.
