CHATHAM, N.J. 02/14/07
Brian M. Stolar, CEO of Chatham-based The Pinnacle Companies, has announced that it’s Pinnacle Downtown division is partnering with Kohl Partners and Craftex on Aurora Over the Hudson, which will introduce for the first time in New Jersey, YOO by Starck interior design.
Setting new standards for luxury living on the Gold Coast, Aurora with 60% of its homes over 3000 square feet offers penthouse living on every floor, and breathtaking views of the Manhattan skyline, which will be enhanced by floor-to-ceiling windows and glassed terraces.
Aurora Over the Hudson is comprised of two iconic glass towers that present a host of original residential choices. Not only does each home boast unique characteristics that make each plan special in its own right, but also offers a lifestyle and services that outshines all other choices.
The Cliffside location affords truly incredible views across the Hudson River into Manhattan spanning from the George Washington Bridge to the Financial District. A valet service will provide easy access to mass transportation and ferry terminals. 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.
The 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 and a Zen relaxation and spa fitness center; and the YOO plaza, designed by world-renowned designer Philippe Starck of YOO, 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 heated garage assigned to each unit.
The 131 Borealis Residences in the Aurora Towers will provide the experience of penthouse living on every floor on a scale unmatched on the Gold Coast. The residences will feature YOO by Starck designed kitchens and bathrooms offering the latest in European sleek elegance with fine cabinetry, signature faucets, free standing baths, vessels on stone counter tops and a purity of line only possible from a master of design. Families can ‘live large’ in these two and three bedroom homes. Some of the homes have dens and family areas off the kitchen, some have fireplaces and all have ‘to the ceiling windows’, private terraces, individually controlled heating and cooling systems, hard wood flooring in the living and master bedroom areas and much much more.
More than 60 percent of Aurora’s homes will measure more than 3,000 square feet -- larger than most single family homes -- making them appealing 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. The homes at Aurora will range in size from 1,760 to 3,300 square feet with prices ranging from under $1 million to approximately $2 million.
The enclave is expected to be popular with New Jersey and New York buyers seeking more space at a much better value than is typically found in New York metropolitan-area condominiums.
The homes will also feature state-of-the-art technology, including personal electronic concierge interface; in-home wireless Internet access; multiple telephone lines; interactive communication with security; and fiber-optic integrated outlets for internet, telephone, cable and networked computer systems.
