Real Estate Brokerage Community Puts Stamp of Approval on The Wyldes

The real estate brokerage community unquestionably has put its stamp of approval on The Wyldes, the striking five-story rental property developed by Advance Realty Investors in Harrison, NJ’s reenergized Riverbend District.

The 399-home community has become a defining success in the northern New Jersey rental market thanks in no small measure to the many knowledgeable real estate professionals who see the value and luxury that The Wyldes provides in its high-end homes, next-level amenity package and commuter-friendly location moments from the Harrison PATH station.

USWOO Realty, a New York City-based brokerage that specializes in placing clients in rental residences throughout the New York metro area, has played a key role in fueling the high leasing velocity at The Wyldes. The brokerage’s staunch support of the building is evidenced by Shuyu Fang, a USWOO Senior Agent who has not only brought clients to lease at The Wyldes but has also become a resident herself.

Working with USWOO for the past four years, Ms. Fang has secured homes for hundreds of renters in properties stretching from Harrison, Jersey City, Newark and Secaucus to Manhattan, Long Island City and Brooklyn. As a resident of Harrison herself, she was well versed in all that makes the city so attractive and has been passing that knowledge on to her clients.

“Harrison is attractive to renters due to its affordability in today’s competitive rental market,” she said. “My clients also love the area’s commutable location and great access to the PATH Station. The ease of transportation really separates Harrison from similar markets like Bayonne where there is only a Light Rail Station and is more suitable for people with a car.”

The Wyldes is located at 1100 South 5th Street, just blocks from the Harrison PATH station, which has undergone a multi-phased renovation and modernization program in recent years. The building offers a mix of oversized studios, one- and two-bedroom homes priced from the mid-$2,000s.

The value and appeal of The Wyldes were at the forefront when Shuyu was facing a rent increase when her lease at another luxury Harrison building ended. The attractive pricing, oversized apartment and five-star amenities were more than enough to convince Shuyu to make the building her new home.

“My lease had ended, and I wanted to find a better home at a better price,” Shuyu said. “The homes at The Wyldes are so large. There’s a walk-in pantry and two walk-in closets that we really enjoy. The walk-in closets were considered a must. The building itself is brand new so there’s a sense of peace and quietness.”

With most homes offering 10’ ceilings and select loft residences offering 13’ ceiling heights, homes with oversized Pella windows maximizing natural light, and with most providing balconies or expansive terraces, the spacious apartments at The Wyldes allow residents to spread out and enjoy their surroundings while fully embracing the benefits of indoor-outdoor living. Modern finishes and appointments include luxury plank flooring, Bosch in-home washer/dryers, integrated millwork home office nooks with floating shelving in most homes, along with kitchens offering GE stainless steel appliances, designer cabinetry and quartz countertops.

The Wyldes offers an impressive 45,000 square feet of outdoor green space. Amenities include multiple landscaped courtyards featuring a resort-style infinity-edge pool, sun deck, firepits, a bar with TVs, barbecues, outdoor dining areas, games and a screening area.

Indoors, two lobbies greet residents with double-height lounges as well as a commercial-grade demonstration kitchen. There’s also a virtual gaming/karaoke room with a mini bar, billiards room with a media lounge and kitchenette, two resident lounges, media center, and a library with flexible co-working spaces, including private offices and conference rooms. A two-story fitness center features specialty trainers, yoga classes, free weights, cardio training on demand, rower machines, and virtual workouts.

Additional conveniences and services include on-site covered parking with electric vehicle charging stations, a Pet Spa, resident and bicycle storage, a commercial laundry room and on-demand home essential lending library by TULU.

Anchored by the Harrison PATH Station with service to Jersey City, Hoboken, Midtown Manhattan, Lower Manhattan -- just a 20-minute commute away -- and Newark Penn Station, Harrison offers commuter convenience. The town is closely connected to culture, shopping, dining, and entertainment destinations, with the famed culinary gem the Ironbound neighborhood, Prudential Center and New Jersey Performing Arts Center all just minutes away.
