BERKELEY HEIGHTS, NJ - The Connell Company, one of the largest diversified, privately held corporations in the U.S., has unveiled plans for Round Table (RT) Residences, located at The Park, New Jersey's newest destination neighborhood.
RT Residences will be comprised of two luxury residential rental buildings - RT500 with eleven stories will include 179 units, while RT600 with eight stories will include 149 units. Each building will feature luxe resort-style outdoor pools, entertainment lounges, game rooms, co-working spaces and state-of-the-art fitness centers, along with a wide range of hospitality-based amenities and concierge services utilized throughout The Park.
As part of an elevated lobby experience, RT500 will be connected to Cafe Exchange, a unique coffee shop concept that is also open to the public. Cafe Exchange will feature hand-crafted beverages, a variety of food selections, live entertainment, art installations featuring local artists, a book exchange program and an evening wine bar. The 6,000 square foot space will provide a central location for the community to come together and socially connect, outside of their homes, work, and technology.
"We're building an urban, walkable, downtown community within a suburban setting at The Park and a critical piece of this model is our residential buildings," said Shane Connell, Executive Vice President at The Connell Company. "By creating luxury resort-style residences on site, we're ensuring that all residents can experience everything The Park has to offer, such as world class restaurants, large parks and open spaces, and high-end amenities all in one campus."
Designed by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners and David M. Sullivan Inc., RT Residences units will include a mix of studio, one and two-bedroom luxury apartments. Each residence will feature contemporary stylings and neutral tones. Floor to ceiling windows in each unit will create an abundance of natural light, while wood plank flooring and quartz countertops provide a modern flair.
RT Residences are part of a $500 million redevelopment of The Park, transforming the traditional office park into a destination neighborhood. Recent milestones at The Park include the renovation of the original office spaces to a modern hospitality-centric work resort, and construction of an entertainment building in The District at The Park, which will include a brewery, steakhouse, duckpin bowling and more.
The Park is already home to 1.5 million square feet of class A offices that host companies like Blackstone, Samsung, and Aon, as well as a 176-room Embassy Suites hotel, FIELDHOUSE, a luxury fitness and wellness facility, Grain & Cane Restaurant, Starbucks, Life Time Fitness, outdoor walking and jogging trails, and co-working social club Round Table Studios.
