Sharbell Development Honored for Two Communities
May 17, 2010: For nearly three decades, Sharbell Development Corp. has built a reputation for innovation and integrity in residential, commercial and mixed-use development. The award-winning developer has built over 3,000 homes in central New Jersey, from million dollar custom estates to multi-family condominiums. Over the years, Sharbell has garnered numerous national and local honors and awards, including Home Buyers Warranty's coveted "Diamond Home Builder" designation, and New Jersey Future's 2008 Smart Growth Award for Plainsboro Village Center. Now, the developer has been honored yet again with two distinguished awards.
On April 13, the New Jersey Builders Association presented its 23rd Annual Sales and Marketing (SAM) Awards gala at Atlantic City’s Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa. The NJBA SAM Awards are the most coveted honors within New Jersey recognizing creative achievement in new home sales and marketing. Sharbell’s Tapestry at Montgomery, a distinguished 55+ community in Montgomery Township, won SAM Awards for Best Interior Merchandising (Decorating) and Best Home.
Tapestry recently opened a third new model home; a Cavallo design, which offers over 2,700 square feet of living space, with three bedrooms, three baths, a library, loft and two-car garage. The community is uniquely designed for active-adult buyers who are seeking something out of the ordinary, from location to home designs. Set among the gently rolling hills of picturesque Montgomery Township, just minutes from Princeton, Tapestry offers a sophisticated lifestyle with quality-built homes and a variety of floorplans, with pricing from as low as $399,000.
Sharbell Development was also recently cited, along with Robbinsville Township, for its role in promoting responsible land use in the development of Town Center, a mixed-use community in Robbinsville. Town Center is one of six projects that will receive 2010 Smart Growth Awards on June 2 at the Newark Club in Newark, by New Jersey Future, a leading research and policy organization that promotes sustainable growth concepts. Town Center was the first mixed-use community to receive the State Planning Commission’s “center” designation.
Winning projects were evaluated based on a number of criteria, including protection or enhancement of open space, farmland, parks and critical environmental areas; respect of community character, design and historic features; and more.
It was ten years ago that Sharbell opened its sales center at Town Center, at the corner of Route 33 and 526, on a corner now occupied by The Lofts and specialty retail stores and shops. Sharbell Senior Vice President Tom Troy commented, “Sharbell Development has been working closely with the current and prior administration and staff of Robbinsville Township for the past 15 years to forge a new model of suburban ‘smart growth.’ We are proud to be recognized by New Jersey Future for our work on this project.”
The Lofts at Washington Town Center is an upscale condominium community presenting a unique opportunity for buyers to have a stylish, sophisticated home and a convenient urban lifestyle in central Jersey, ideally set above great shopping, dining and services. The Lofts also features professionally decorated buildings, gated parking and a private residents’ lounge and fitness center. And with special incentive pricing from just $199,000 on limited units, it’s hard to beat the value.
Currently, The Lofts is offering special incentives on two new buildings. Buyers who purchase in the new Building D, which features two-story homes, will receive $6,000 towards closing costs or options. The homes in this building are town home-style units, ranging in size from approximately 1,700 to over 2,000 square feet., with either two or three bedrooms. Buyers who purchase in Building E, which features one-story homes, will receive $3,000 toward closing costs or options. This new building features twelve of the extremely popular one-bedroom condominium homes. Also available will be one-story, two-bedroom condominium homes, ranging in size to just over 1,400 square feet. Buyers receiving either of these special incentives must go to contract within 60 days of deposit.
