Leasing To Begin For Luxury Rental Units In Greater Morristown

MORRIS PLAINS, NJ — The official leasing date has been announced for potential residents at the recently completed luxury-rental community in Morris Plains.

Leasing will open up on March 1 for the American, located at 1000 The American Road, which will provide 125 luxury rental residences to the historic borough of Morris Plains.

Developers completed a new pedestrian walkway connecting the residential project to downtown Morris Plains as part of the development process, allowing residents to be within .8 miles of the NJ Transit station and the center of the borough's downtown district, according to developers JMF Properties.

"The American will feature an exceptional location near the train station and charming downtown shops and restaurants, which we were able to enhance by providing direct pedestrian access from The American Road to downtown Morris Plains, where no connection was previously available," said JMF founder and Principal Joe Forgione. "In today’s market, with new-construction suburban rentals in high demand, we believe this will be a popular choice for Morris County renters, as well as an important asset for the Morris Plains community for many years to come."

Fifty of the units will be eligible for the borough's affordable housing obligation under the state Housing Element and Fair Share Plan.

In addition to a lobby and lounge, the development has more than 20,000 square feet of dedicated indoor and outdoor amenity space, which includes a fitness center with Matrix equipment and a personal training studio, a business center with a coffee bar and a pool room.

In a variety of one- and two-bedroom residences, luxury units promise an "upscale living experience," with den layouts and private outdoor space in select homes.

The largest residences will have up to 1,390 square feet of living space and ceilings as high as nine feet.

The official monthly rental rates have not been determined. Prospective buyers can visit the JMF website for more information or schedule a tour.

Prospective tenants can join The American's waitlist by calling 973-354-5555. According to developers, guests who sign up for the waitlist will be among the first to be invited to a private tour of the building, as well as the first to learn about the community's opening rental rates and limited-time incentives.

The official opening of the housing development is expected to happen close to the year's end, according to developers.
