Garden Communities has officially unveiled its highly anticipated luxury apartment residences at The Sylvan, marking a major milestone for upscale rental living in Bergen County. Located just minutes from Manhattan, the high-profile multifamily development has officially launched leasing, with initial occupancy scheduled for this summer.
Situated high above New Jersey’s Hudson River Palisades at 1 Valentine Street (just off Route 9W), the brand-new multifamily building features 338 upscale studio, one-, and two-bedroom residences designed for contemporary living. Select floor plans also feature private dens. When fully completed, the master-planned community will deliver a total of 450 rental residences, which includes 112 grandly scaled, three-story, three-bedroom townhomes that are also currently leasing.
Resort-caliber amenities
The centerpiece of The Sylvan experience is an impressive, 90,000-square-foot indoor and outdoor amenities suite curated by Scottsdale-based Catalyst Interiors. Remarkably, all amenities are provided to residents at no additional cost.
“The Sylvan’s resort-caliber lifestyle truly sets it apart – there’s simply nothing else like it in this area,” Brett Tanzman, principal at Garden Communities said. “The distinctive gathering areas and their features were created to establish a sense of community and serve as a seamless extension of residents’ living spaces.”
The experience begins in a striking, concierge-attended lobby boasting double-height ceilings and sophisticated décor. The expansive indoor and outdoor spaces include:
- Social & Leisure Spaces: A billiards room, entertainment lounge, private dining room, media lounge, sports lounge, and a speakeasy-inspired retreat.
- Wellness Facilities: A state-of-the-art fitness center featuring open-air garage doors, Peloton bikes, rowers, and private training and yoga studios.
- Outdoor Courtyards & Pools: North and South courtyard terraces complete with garden pathways, fire pit lounges, and a splash pad. A zero-entry swimming pool, sun decks, and an alfresco dining area with BBQ grills anchor the main Pool Deck.
- Rooftop & Grounds: A stunning Rooftop Terrace equipped with pergolas and comfortable seating offers sweeping views of the New York City skyline. The grounds also feature a quarter-acre park and a dedicated dog run.
“The Sylvan’s elevated amenities and elegantly appointed apartments offer a seamless blend of comfort, convenience and upscale everyday living,” Garden Communities’ Principal Orin Wilf said.
Strong local demand and premier location
Boasting immediate proximity to the George Washington Bridge (just three miles away), Englewood Cliffs offers unparalleled commuter convenience alongside top-rated schools, local healthcare facilities, and world-class shopping and dining.
According to Stacy Esser of the Stacy Esser Group at Keller Williams Town Life Realty, the market response has been immediate. “Leasing at The Sylvan is off to a strong start,” Esser noted. “We’re seeing great interest from both longtime local residents and new renters drawn to the property’s location and lifestyle.”
