Real estate owner developer, The Silverman Group, on Wednesday said that construction is underway on a boutique 62-unit luxury rental community near the Short Hills Train Station.
The Estates at Short Hills will deliver a sophisticated new residential option to the historic, tree-lined streets within Essex County. The community will feature thoughtfully crafted residences, refined finishes, and a robust amenity offering. The design also incorporates over 10,000 square feet of street-level medical office space and a 192-space parking garage.
Located at 85 Woodland Road, The Estates at Short Hills places residents at the intersection of convenience and natural beauty — just steps from shops, restaurants, and mass transit to Manhattan, and directly adjacent to the Cora Hartshorn Arboretum and Bird Sanctuary.
The train station is just two-tenths of a mile away, offering direct NJ TRANSIT rail service to New York Penn Station in about 55 minutes.
“Breaking ground on The Estates at Short Hills marks the start of a carefully considered project in one of New Jersey’s most sought-after neighborhoods,” Blake Silverman, president of The Silverman Group said. “With such a premier location, we saw an opportunity to create a refined residential offering that contributes positively to the community’s fabric. Our design reflects the timeless charm and character of Short Hills while also delivering a new, boutique style of housing to the area.”
Designed by Michels & Waldron Associates, with construction by Silver Line Development, the four-story building will feature 10 one-bedroom, 49 two-bedroom, and three three-bedroom residences. Initial occupancy is slated for early 2027. The medical office component can be subdivided into two units, while the underground garage will provide dedicated floors for patient and staff parking.
Residences at The Estates at Short Hills will be finished to a high standard, with gas burner stoves, shaker-style cabinetry, quartz countertops, and stainless steel appliances in each kitchen. Additional features include LED lighting, luxury vinyl plank flooring in living areas, plush bedroom carpeting, ceramic tile bathrooms with quartz countertops, comfort-height toilets, and in-home washers and dryers. All homes will include individually metered utilities and a dedicated HVAC unit.
Residents will enjoy a curated amenity collection highlighted by a rooftop terrace, outdoor courtyard, fitness center, resident lounge and game room, package and mail rooms, and garage bike storage.
The Estates at Short Hills is located 25 miles from Manhattan, 12 miles from both Newark Liberty International Airport and downtown Morristown. Glenwood Elementary is less than half a mile away, while Millburn Middle and High Schools are just over a mile from the site. Regional access is easy via Route 24, Route 78, and the Morris Turnpike.
