BELLEVILLE & MONTCLAIR, NJ – January 4, 2021 – The team at Christie’s International Real Estate NNJ, the fastest growing real estate firm in northern New Jersey, celebrates the success of the Ethos development project in Belleville, NJ. The luxury apartment complex replaced several aged buildings on the Belleville/Nutley border, transforming the look and feel of an already incredible community. The building opened officially in October 2021 and 65% of the units have already been leased. Donna Keena, a Christie’s agent based in Montclair serving as the lead leasing agent, assisted the developer in establishing the necessary professional team to make this project possible and supported the team through all required municipal approvals.

“I believe our success is due to the fact that the developers have created a luxury development with amenities that are new to Belleville, yet comparable to Montclair. That along with competitive rents and my team's diligence have all contributed to a 65% occupancy since October 1st. Ethos brings luxury living to Belleville with competitive rents. It is no surprise that these units are filling up so quickly,” said Keena. “We are excited to be the groundbreaking building of the ‘Better Belleville’,” she continued.

The state-of-the-art luxury complex offers 56 studio and one-bedroom apartments. Boasting stunning architectural features and on-site parking, Ethos also features a rooftop lounge, a first-floor commuter lounge, and an on-site gym. According to township officials, this project will be the first of a series of developments that will bring additional tax revenue to the Township, helping to stabilize and offset its tax burden.

“As we continue to expand our footprint in northern New Jersey, we are continually looking for ways to serve the people, municipal governments, and real estate developers throughout the region. We may be a real estate company, but our efforts extend beyond the traditional purchase and sales of residential and commercial property,” says Juan Rivera, Regional Vice President of Hudson & Essex Counties. “The Ethos project has been a success thus far within merely 2 months of its opening, and we look forward to seeing what it brings to Belleville this upcoming year and launching new projects that will transform neighboring communities.”
