In-Person Tours Now Available by Appointment
The first residents have begun moving into BeLa, a new luxury rental building located in Jersey City’s Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood. The exciting milestone follows the successful launch of leasing at BeLa through 3D virtual tours which are now complemented by in-person presentations by appointment only.
Located at 74 Maple Street, BeLa is quickly drawing renters from both sides of the Hudson River with a modern residential option situated in an historic and culturally-rich neighborhood that borders Liberty State Park’s more than 1,200 acres of open space.
“We’re excited to welcome our first residents to BeLa,” said Carole Bloom, executive vice president of leasing for Halstead NJ Development Marketing, LLC, which was tapped by Golden Glades Capital Management as the building’s exclusive leasing and marketing agent. “The boutique, eight story building features just 99 residences with stylish living spaces and smartly-designed amenities that complement its charming and commuter-friendly neighborhood. We’re also appealing to renters who are now placing more value on being the first ones to live in an apartment, as well as reside in an area with less density and more open space. BeLa offers just that.”
HOMES
The new collection of residences is currently priced from $1,996 for one bedrooms, and $2,560 for two bedrooms. Halstead is offering an attractive promotion of up to three free months in incentives for tenants who sign leases quickly. BeLa. residents will be the first to enjoy exquisitely-designed residences featuring keyless entry systems, stylish bathrooms with walk-in showers or soaking tubs, in-home washers and dryers, and chef-inspired kitchens with islands, custom cabinetry and stainless-steel Whirlpool appliances. An added benefit, many of the apartments feature flexible layouts with room for a den or spacious home office
SETTING
With a WalkScore of 88, BeLa’s Bergen-Lafayette location puts residents right in the middle of a thriving community. The newly constructed building is situated just blocks from Communipaw Avenue, the area’s business corridor that offers hip and authentic bars, eateries, shops and everyday conveniences, including The Grind Shop specialty coffee shop, Pacific Pizza, Harry’s Daughter Gastro Pub, and the 902 Brewing Company which is producing its flagship beers like Heaven, Hell or Hoboken IPA, Pale Ale True Hoboken (dubbed P.A.T.H.) and more.
Downtown Jersey City, Hoboken, and Manhattan are easily reached via the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Liberty Park Station which is just steps from BeLa. Four light rail stops away is the Exchange Place PATH Station, which is one stop from the World Trade Center transit hub. A quick ten-minute ride connects commuters to New York Waterway’s Paulus Hook Ferry Terminal with service to Brookfield Place, Pier 11/Wall Street and 39th Street/Hudson Yards. Nearby Route 78 provides a pathway to the Holland Tunnel, as well as points west.
For outdoor recreation, the adjacent Liberty State Park offers a green oasis in the middle of the metropolis, with more 1,200 acres of open space, a two-mile waterfront promenade, an outdoor performance area, and spectacular restaurants with sweeping views of the Hudson River, Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty. The park also offers a full-service marina, ferry service to Manhattan, charter boat excursions and maritime sightseeing tours. Also anchoring the neighborhood is the Liberty Science Center with its ever-evolving interactive museum experience and the largest and most technologically-advanced planetarium in the Western Hemisphere. Work is underway to extend Jersey Avenue which will better connect downtown Jersey City with Liberty State Park and Bergen-Layfette.
AMENITIES
Right at home, BeLa’s lifestyle amenities include an attended lobby, resident lounge and clubroom, state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga studio, and a rooftop terrace with a lounge, BBQ grilling station and Manhattan skyline views. The building also features a fully furnished guest suite, bike storage, package concierge, onsite indoor parking and a street-level café.
