Avora via Landsea Homes
While there is much to be excited about in the renaissance of Jersey City and Hoboken, open space has gotten crowded out in the glut of new residential and commercial development. That’s where Weehawken comes in, providing a quieter, suburban feel across the river from New York. A prime example can be seen at Avora, located between Hamilton Park and Old Glory Park. The 11-story building designed by IBI Group makes the most of its waterfront location and skyline views with a glass façade and tiered, stepped design.
The building is one block from the Port Imperial light rail and ferry stops, promising a short commute to Midtown and Lower Manhattan. Public transportation is the environmentally friendly way to go, and such sustainable features as passive solar strategies, natural lighting, and passive ventilation in all units were instrumental in Avora's LEED Silver certification. It is little wonder it was named “Community of the Year” by the New Jersey Builders Association in 2017 and 2018's "National Community of the Year"" by the National Association of Homebuilder's (NAHB) National Sales & Marketing Council to honor the year's most outstanding work in residential real estate sales, marketing and design. Sales launched to great excitement, and occupancy has recently begun.

Lobby
The homes at Avora are as powerful a draw as its location. All 184 one- through three-bedroom apartments feature 9’ ceilings, Wi-Fi programmable thermostat, and unobstructed skyline views. Chef’s kitchens are outfitted with Italian cabinetry, granite countertops, and professional-grade stainless steel KitchenAid appliances. Spa-like baths have European stone finishes, porcelain countertops, and Kohler fixtures. Many units have private terraces or balconies.
Floor plan
The Avora boasts 30,000 square feet of resort-quality amenities, starting with an attended lobby with cold storage and concierge service. Amenities also include a private screening theater, business center and board room, second-floor fitness center with strength and cardio areas, on-site garage, and grand salon with wet bar and catering kitchen. A “While You’re Away” service tends to mail, packages, and any other needs that may arise in residents’ absence. The piece de resistance is the third-floor outdoor plaza, which has a pool, sun deck, fire pit, grills, and elevated ampitheater.
