Woodmont Properties (Woodmont), a leading owner, developer and manager of multifamily and commercial properties throughout the U.S., has broken ground on Woodmont Rail at Metropark (Woodmont Rail), a luxury rental community bringing 300 new residences to Woodbridge, New Jersey.
“Breaking ground on Woodmont Rail at Metropark, our most recent transit-oriented community, marks an exciting milestone for Woodmont and a meaningful investment in the future of Woodbridge,” said Stephen Santola, Woodmont’s Executive Vice President and General Counsel. “This community, located a short walk from the Metropark Train Station, will infuse new energy into one of the region’s key transit hubs while generating hundreds of construction jobs and long-term employment opportunities. We’re proud to celebrate this pivotal moment and are deeply grateful to the Township of Woodbridge for its partnership in re-thinking areas in and around the Metropark commercial area.”
The transformational expansive residential community will rise six stories and comprise studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences, ranging in size from 574 to over 1,400 square feet. Pairing comfort and sophistication with open concept layouts, each residence features nine-foot ceilings, stunning finishes, Energy Star appliances, quartz countertops, spa-like bathrooms and private balconies.
From convenience to connection, the community’s impressive 23,000 square feet of amenities have been curated to enhance everyday life and bring residents together. Health and wellness enthusiasts will enjoy a fitness center, while a multi-sport simulator, clubroom and media room are ideal for gathering and entertaining. For hybrid or remote professionals, conference rooms and a co-working center offer a haven for productivity. Outside, residents will enjoy a resort-style pool, fire pits and dining areas, along with a rooftop space featuring a barbecue, outdoor TV and shaded bar. Additionally, residents will have access to a dog run, package concierge and ample parking in a seven-level garage alongside dedicated EV charging stations.
Woodmont Rail is surrounded by a rich mix of retail, hospitality and recreational offerings as well as major employers across industries, including Ernst & Young, Prudential Insurance, UnitedHealthcare, BASF Corporation and Wells Fargo. The community’s central location provides convenient access to New York City, Newark, and the region’s premier transit networks, including the Garden State Parkway, Route 1, Route 27 and the New Jersey Turnpike.
