First YOO by Starck–designed project in New Jersey provides unparalleled views of Manhattan and Penthouse living on every floor

Cliffside Park, NJ—
Residents at Aurora Over the Hudson in Cliffside Park will experience a new standard in luxury, while enjoying some of the most spectacular views of Manhattan in the market today. More than 60 percent of Aurora’s 131 luxury two- and three-bedroom homes will measure over 3,000 square feet and all of the homes offer floor-to-ceiling windows and glassed terraces, providing the experience of penthouse living on every floor. Aurora Over the Hudson will be the first project in New Jersey and one of an elite world collection designed by the internationally acclaimed design firm YOO by Starck.

YOO by Starck, featuring the world renowned Philippe Starck, and has brought design-focused communities to markets including London, Sydney, and the Far East, will design Aurora Over the Hudson’s signature elements including the outdoor plaza, the world-class fitness center, the resident club and lobby, home layouts, and interior décor including kitchens and baths. Perkins Eastman, a leading international architecture, urban and interior design firm, conceived and designed Aurora.

All of Aurora’s residences will feature YOO by Starck–designed kitchens and bathrooms offering the latest in sleek European elegance with fine cabinetry and Viking® appliances, signature faucets, freestanding baths and vessels on stone countertops. The homes also feature individually controlled heating and cooling systems and hardwood flooring in the living and master bedroom areas. Many of these features—which are considered upgrades at many condominium communities—are standard at Aurora. Some residences also offer fireplaces and wet bars and many have media rooms/dens and family areas off the kitchen. The homes will also feature state-of-the-art technology, including personal electronic concierge interface, in-home wireless Internet access, multiple telephone lines, and interactive communication with security.

“The YOO by Starck name is synonymous with innovative and luxurious design throughout the world,” commented Mary Boorman, Pinnacle’s senior vice president for development, sales, and marketing. “Aurora Over the Hudson will set a new standard in Gold Coast luxury living.”

These distinctive residences will especially appeal to families and to empty nesters who want the convenience of condominium living but are not willing to sacrifice the space of a large, single-family suburban home. Prices at Aurora range from $1 million to $2.5 million.

The iconic glass towers that comprise Aurora will house a magnificent entry lobby and the finest resident club amenities on the Gold Coast. Signature elements include entertainment salons; a private dining room; a Zen relaxation and spa fitness center; and the YOO plaza designed by YOO by Starck with gardens, a pool, and hot tub set above the magnificent backdrop of the Manhattan skyline. Ample parking will be provided underneath the towers, with two spaces in a climate-controlled garage assigned to each unit and valet parking.

Aurora’s cliffside location affords truly incredible views across the Hudson River into Manhattan spanning from the George Washington Bridge to the Financial District. In addition to Manhattan’s nearby shopping, dining, and cultural offerings, residents can also take advantage of the riverside cafés, restaurants, and shopping of New Jersey’s famed Gold Coast.
