Listen to this articleAfter eclipsing $100 million in pre-sales over the last 10 months, closings are beginning at The Boardwalk condominium development in Long Beach.
The Boardwalk condos, 192 residences in two nine-story towers, are part of the $369 million waterfront project from Jericho-based B2K Development and its partner Harrison Street Real Estate Capital that has transformed the long-vacant 6-acre property known as the Superblock. The development’s rental component, a 10-story, 238-unit building called The Breeze, began welcoming its first tenants in February.
The Boardwalk offers one- to four-bedroom homes priced from $875,000 to $4.5 million, most with views of the ocean and New York City skyline. Designed by Manhattan-based interior design firm BG Studio International, the condo residences feature floor-to-ceiling windows, seven-inch plank European blonde oak hardwood floors, custom cabinetry, Kohler polished nickel fixtures, Bosch kitchen appliances and furnishings from Restoration Hardware.
Amenities at The Boardwalk include a fitness center and yoga studio, outdoor lounge and pool, children’s playroom, club room, card room, private dining room, pet-washing station and co-working space.
“We are so pleased to deliver this market-making luxury offering to New York’s historic and iconic Long Beach,” Steven Krieger, president of B2K Development, said in a written statement. “Connection to the stunning Long Beach seascape inspired the design of The Boardwalk both inside and out, and it’s wonderful to see it complete and become part of this vibrant beach community.”
The Boardwalk isn’t the first Long Beach condo project for the developer. In 2009, the company then known as Engel Burman Group, completed the Aqua, an eight-story, 36-unit condo building with ocean views from each residence.
Sales at The Boardwalk have been handled by Douglas Elliman Development Marketing (DEDM), the new development arm of Douglas Elliman Real Estate.
“These exquisite residences have set a new standard for luxury living in Long Beach, one of New York’s most sought-after oceanfront communities,” Susan de França, president and CEO of DEDM, said in the statement.
Karen Mansour, DEDM executive vice president added, “It’s been thrilling to see the vision that B2K Development had for this remarkable project come to fruition, along with such an incredible response from the buyers who will soon call The Boardwalk home.”
Closings have been allowed to start at The Boardwalk after receiving its certificate of occupancy and two model residences are now available to buyers.
“We’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished in pre-sales at The Boardwalk, and we’re delighted that we can now bring buyers into the building to see the completed amenity spaces and model residences firsthand,” Glen Fox, director of sales for The Boardwalk, said in the statement. “This is a first-of-its-kind lifestyle opportunity here in Long Beach, and it is clearly resonating with buyers who are looking for an elevated living experience, connection to the ocean and resort style amenities—all less than an hour’s commute to Manhattan.”
