Jefferson Apartment Group (JAG) marks its third Philadelphia-area delivery in the last year with J Centra, a distinctive 500-unit luxury rental community in New Jersey’s Burlington Township.
J Centra’s design plans include three building styles: four-story buildings with elevators (3), three-story breezeway walk-ups (11), and both three-story and four-story stacked buildings (6). It also offers a variety of layouts, including two-over-one townhouse-style units with garages (48), 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments (452), and several units with added dens or lofts.
“This opportunity allowed for an extensive development plan flush with amenities and floorplans that appeal to a wide range of residents in terms of age, household size, and lifestyle,” said Drew Chapman, JAG Senior Vice President and Development Partner. “We’re especially proud to be adding much needed affordable housing in line with Burlington’s commitment to the State of New Jersey.”
J Centra also offers a comprehensive amenities package designed to foster a lively, resort-like atmosphere. The community will feature two separate clubhouses spanning nearly 11,000 square feet in total. Each clubhouse will feature outdoor kitchens, inviting courtyards, comfortable lounge areas, and resort-style swimming pools, one of which will include lap lanes for fitness-focused residents.
Other communal amenities include:
- Grand clubhouse featuring a fireplace lounge, bar, ample seating areas, gaming, private
co-working stations, and a pet spa, in addition to the leasing center. - Fitness clubhouse dedicated to wellness that features leading-edge cardio and strength
equipment, a relaxing wellness lounge supporting rejuvenation, and a separate yoga studio and Peloton spin room. - Two pickleball courts, a basketball court, putting green, enclosed playground, two firepits, community garden plots, 3 miles of community trails, a dog park configured for small and large breeds, and 7 acres of dedicated green space are also part of the ample outdoor amenities.
- 50 EV charging stations with a total of 996 parking spaces – 867 surface spaces and 129 garage spaces.
Every unit at J Centra showcases premium interior finishes, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry with open shelving, tile backsplashes, and plank flooring throughout the kitchen and living spaces. Residents can choose from three designer-curated finish packages for a personalized touch. Each residence is also equipped with thoughtfully designed features, including kitchen islands, front-loading washer and dryer sets, built-in pantries, spacious walk-in closets, private
patios or balconies, and convenient keyless entry systems.
“J Centra is an exceptional community strengthened by the team behind it,” Chapman said. “Our partnerships with SpringHarbor Financial Group and H.I.G. Realty Partners, as well as our on-site partners, have made a strong vision a reality for all stakeholders, and we’re excited for new opportunities to come.”
Ideally situated, the development offers immediate access to a range of nearby retail conveniences, including Target, Starbucks, Home Depot, and Panera. It is conveniently located within one mile of both I295 and the New Jersey Turnpike, 9 miles north of Moorestown, New Jersey, and approximately a 30- minute drive from downtown Philadelphia. Prominent employers in the surrounding area include Lockheed Martin and Jefferson Cherry Hill Hospital. J Centra marks JAG’s third delivery in the Greater Philadelphia region within the past year. Earlier developments include J Veridian Upper Dublin, a 310-unit Class A community in Fort Washington completed in January, and Rivermark Northern Liberties, a 470-unit mixed-use project along Philadelphia’s riverfront, which delivered in July 2024. Rivermark features a Sprouts Farmers Market and four acres of activated public space.
