CLUB PREMIER AT ASBURY PARK APPROVAL DRAWS CHEERS
JACKSON TWP., NJ—Paramount Homes, a multiple award-winning builder of luxury home communities, has received Planning Board approval from the City of Asbury Park for its ambitious and widely anticipated project aimed at revitalizing the city’s oceanfront. The builder, whose plans include 153 waterfront condominium units, received repeated applause from the local residents in attendance at the meeting.

Known as “Club Premier at Asbury Park,” the project has already been granted crucial permitting from the State of New Jersey to develop the prime oceanfront area just north of the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel.
Residents offered positive remarks about the design of the three mid-rise buildings in which the condominium units will be housed, citing the complementary “fit” with classic city landmarks such as Conventional Hall and the Paramount Theater, as well as the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel itself. Mediterranean style architecture was employed in two of the buildings in order to maintain a decidedly waterfront character—as well as emit a special casual charm—on the oceanfront location. The third building mimics the style of the Berkeley-Carteret Hotel as is projected in the city’s waterfront development plan.

An architect from the Hillier Group made the presentation of the structures—rising from 4 to 8 stories—which include a dual-level parking garage that will be “screened” from the west side of Ocean Avenue by luxury brownstones to enhance the streetscape. The presentation also included plans for extensive landscaping throughout the project.

Each unit of Club Premier at Asbury Park will feature from 1 to 3 bedrooms, and from approximately 1,200 to 2,500 sq. ft. of living space with luxury appointments befitting an oceanfront environment and the architectural detailing. Homeowners will be availed of a central courtyard located above the upper level parking garage. The courtyard will be privately accessed directly from the beachfront, and overlook Ocean Avenue and the boardwalk, ensuring private viewing of boardwalk events, while providing seclusion and privacy for residents. The courtyard will entail carefully landscaped gardens, walking paths, a swimming pool and sundeck. Showers and bathrooms will be positioned nearby, as will a fitness facility accessible to homeowners at all times. A multi-purpose meeting room will serve gatherings and private parties.

Paramount Homes will soon present plans to the Asbury Park Planning Board for a second project, totaling 200 oceanfront condominiums one block north of the previously approved properties.

As one of the most respected builders at the Jersey Shore, Paramount Homes enjoys a reputation for insightful planning and attention to the needs of location-specific housing requirements, as well as a strong commitment to environmental compatibility. Club Premier at Asbury Park has been planned to successfully accommodate both the needs of the city and the “Smart Growth” initiatives espoused by the State of New Jersey and an increasing number of municipalities. In maintaining its Smart Growth posture, Paramount Homes plans to redevelop the deteriorated Mantoloking Cove section of Brick Township with luxury waterfront condominiums, a marina and restaurant, while continuing to pursue other areas which would benefit from Smart Growth development.
