Larken Associates’ Autumn Ridge Community 95% Percent Leased Ahead of Spring Completion

Larken Associates, a regional leader in commercial and residential real estate building, development and management, announces that Autumn Ridge, Warren County’s newest luxury residential community, located at 1500 Hyde Boulevard in Lopatcong, NJ is 95% percent leased. Featuring a combination of 198 market-rate and affordable one and two-bedroom luxury apartments for rent across ten buildings as well as a standalone pet-friendly 55+ apartment building, the unique multigenerational residential concept is scheduled to be fully completed later this spring.

Situated just off of Route 57 in Lopatcong, the luxury Larken Living community is comprised of Autumn Ridge at Lopatcong, which includes 148 garden and garage-style units, and Horizons at Autumn Ridge, an age-restricted building with 50 units reserved for the 55+ active adult living community. Following the opening of the first phase of Autumn Ridge in October 2020 which was comprised of initial residential rental units and a clubhouse, Larken Associates and Core Enterprises, Larken Associates’ in-house construction services division, have worked diligently to construct the additional residential units and community infrastructure that will soon complete New Jersey’s newest luxury residential rental destination.

The strong leasing activity seen at Autumn Ridge speaks to the vision and hard work our team has exhibited throughout each phase of this project. From the acquisition of the site to project construction and the ongoing lease-up process, this project showcases how our multifamily expertise and full suite of development and management capabilities allows us to create truly unique communities in some of the area’s emerging markets.

Meticulously designed around the needs of today’s luxury apartment residents, no detail in the community has been overlooked.

The community’s one-bedroom apartments also feature dedicated den spaces that are perfect for work from home and virtual learning arrangements.

The age-restricted building also boasts a heated private pool as well as a mailroom with a package concierge system, game area with card tables, reading nook, conference room, private gym, lounge with dry bar, and elevator lounges on each floor. With ongoing concerns surrounding social distancing, Larken Associates has also implemented WELLBEATS, a platform that offers thousands of streamable fitness classes that can be enjoyed on the active adult fitness center’s Smart TV or in residents’ homes via the WELLBEATS app. By delivering these dedicated in-demand and flexible amenities, Larken Associates is ensuring that members of the 55+ community can enjoy a wide variety of tailored active and passive activities in one of New Jersey’s most exciting active adult residential communities.

Autumn Ridge also incorporates the latest in real estate technologies. Every resident receives a key fob to ensure easy access to their apartment and all amenities. Additionally, residents no longer need to worry about accidentally leaving their garage door open as every garage apartment is app-enabled, which allows residents to open and close their garage doors remotely.

The community’s technology integration even extends to its amenity offerings. The clubhouse features app-enabled Sonos speakers and Smart TVs throughout that offer residents easy control over the space’s entertainment features. The clubhouse also offers a package concierge system that makes picking up the latest Amazon package or meal delivery kit easy and secure. The gym’s state-of-the-art workout equipment includes Bluetooth and Wi-Fi-enabled cardio machines that allow gym users to connect their Bluetooth headphones or log-in to their Netflix account. The community’s technology also caters to its four-legged residents as the custom dog wash station includes dog-friendly water temperature settings and programmed soap, conditioner, and rinse settings. 

Additionally, Autumn Ridge provides onsite property management and 24/7 emergency maintenance from Larken Associates’ highly experienced Larken Living team.
