Hartz Mountain Industries announced on May 26 that Hamilton Cove, a luxury rental community in the Lincoln Harbor area of Weehawken with 573 apartments, is more than 70% leased.

The three-tower collection, which launched amid the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, has experienced tremendous leasing velocity. Nearly 50% of all leases to date have taken place since January of this year, further indicating increased demand.

“Our goal was to create a best-in-class residential community that people would be drawn to, and that vision has been underscored by the significant leasing momentum,” said Gus Milano, president and chief operating officer of Hartz Mountain Industries. “We put a tremendous amount of thought and effort into the design and amenities at Hamilton Cove, which is a testament to the building’s desirability.”

Designed by local firm Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects, Hamilton Cove’s towers range from 12- to 15- stories high. The interiors, envisioned by award-winning global design firm CetraRuddy, feature elegant, high-end fixtures and finishes, and range in size from studios to three-bedrooms, with several including private outdoor space and gorgeous Hudson River and Manhattan views.

Residents are offered an all-inclusive lifestyle with almost 70,000 square feet of curated amenities, including rooftop cabanas, two heated pools and a Jacuzzi, a dual-sided outdoor fireplace, grills and a bar, bocce ball court, outdoor movie screen, and an array of indoor/outdoor resident lounges.

Indoor amenities include a two-story, 7,590-square-foot fitness and wellness center outfitted with equipment by Life Fitness and Fitness On Demand, with separate, dedicated multipurpose areas for yoga and meditation, bike storage, repair stations, coworking areas, and self-programmed lockers.

“As restrictions ease and businesses reopen, there is a renewed sense of energy among the community,” said Jacqueline Urgo, president of The Marketing Directors, the exclusive marketing and leasing agent on the property. “We have seen a significant surge in leasing activity over the past several months as individuals and families return to urban living. The modern interior spaces and amenity-rich lifestyle have been a big draw, as well as the dynamic transit-oriented and riverfront location.”

Located at 800 Harbor Blvd., directly across the Hudson River from Midtown Manhattan, Lincoln Harbor is a quiet enclave set on 60 acres.

Hamilton Cove is currently offering six months free rent on a 26-month lease on select homes. Net effective pricing with current incentives starts from $1,970 for studios, $2,350 for one-bedrooms, $3,385 for two-bedrooms and $5,630 for three-bedrooms.
