Since The Ivy at Chatham’s debut on the border of two of New Jersey’s most desirable suburban towns it has proven popular with luxury renters. It offers high-end residences that satisfy strong market demand and deliver a new housing type to the Borough of Chatham, just a short distance from the City of Summit.
Now developer BNE Real Estate Group is crediting the community’s leasing success, in part, to its robust amenity package and a resort-like ambience that is perfect for the summer sunshine. New residents are enjoying afternoons by the pool, dinners grilled in private BBQ dining areas, and evenings by the firepit or on the outdoor movie lawn.
It is part of a total amenity and services package that enhances resident quality of life and is playing a role in many renters’ decision to lease at The Ivy, the developer said.
Two of the community’s newest residents moved to The Ivy from Reading, Pa. in June. They wanted to be closer to family and minimize their home maintenance requirements, but The Ivy’s brand-new residences and upscale amenities really sealed the deal.
“We visited several communities and The Ivy stood out because it is so gorgeous,” one of the new residents said. “With all of the amenities that it offers, it really has that ‘wow’ factor. The gym, the movement room, the Yoga Saturdays, are all great, and the pool, especially when the grandkids come over and visit.”
“It’s just a different way of living,” she added. “We were looking for the right place to live and we really hit it.”
Entertainment options at The Ivy include a media screening room, multiple poker/card rooms and a vibrant game lounge that boasts an inviting resident bar, billiards, and shuffleboard, among other games. Residents can play golf courses from around the world in the community’s two multi-sport simulator lounges or test their skills in a variety of other sports. Families appreciate the dedicated children’s playroom, and pampered pets have their own space too, a convenient, on-site pet spa.
Residents of The Ivy have access to a versatile co-working lounge featuring private offices, a resident coffee bar, and a smart vending café, as well as 24/7 concierge service and complimentary shuttle service to the nearby train station. A state-of-the-art fitness center comes equipped with a dedicated yoga studio and virtual fitness technology, while a welcoming resident lounge awaits, complete with a private dining room and attached catering kitchen.
Outside, more than 18,000 square feet of open-air amenities are available, spanning three distinct courtyards. Residents enjoy a refreshing swimming pool, private cabanas, firepits, private BBQ dining areas, an outdoor movie lawn, and a covered outdoor lounge designed for year-round use.
The Ivy’s elevated design contributes to the relaxed vibe. Effortlessly combining sophistication with comfort, it draws its inspiration from the Borough of Chatham’s refined lifestyle, the natural beauty of the area, and five-star resorts from around the world. The architecturally distinct building was designed by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners, with interiors curated in partnership by Miami-based ID & Design International and Chicago-based Mary Cook Associates.
One- and two-bedroom residences are available for lease at The Ivy, with select premium homes offering additional den space. Upscale finishes and appointments include 9’ to 11’11” ceilings, luxury plank flooring, and designer kitchens with Quartz countertops, polished tile backsplashes, stainless-steel appliances, wine refrigerators, and gas ranges. Well-appointed baths are adorned with full height tiled wet walls and offer shaker vanities, tiled floors, linen storage and frameless shower doors in select residences.
The Chatham location puts renters in one of New Jersey’s most desirable suburbs. Both downtown Chatham and downtown Summit are just minutes away, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and entertainment options. Manhattan is about 50 minutes away from Chatham’s train station via NJ TRANSIT’s Morris & Essex line, or 23 miles by highway.
