Lefrak taking reservations for Jersey City apartment complex.

As the demand for affordable housing continues to grow in Jersey City, the Lefrak Organization is taking reservations on the Lincoln -- four months before its completion.

Located in the Historic Hamilton Park area, on 10th Street between Manila and Erie Avenues, the six-story rental residence is expected to be completed by December 2001.

"Based on the unprecedented success of Newport we believe that developments to the west will similarly meet the need for quality affordable housing," said Richard LeFrak, president of the Lefrak Organization. "We expect the Lincoln to be fully leased before its completion -- following the same pattern of every residential tower built in Newport. Jersey City is becoming an address of choice for young professionals and their families."

The Lincoln will have 153 apartments: studio, 1-, 2-, and 3 bedroom apartments. Monthly rents will start at $1,280 for a studio; $1,330 for a one bedroom apartment; $1,705 for two bedrooms with full two baths; and $2,380 for three bedrooms with two full baths.

Every apartment in the new residential building will offer a Euro-style kitchen with state-of-the-art appliances, including dishwasher and microwave oven; elegant master bathrooms; extra large closets; individually controlled heat and A/C; and units pre-wired for cable TV, computer data transmission and T-l accessibility options.

Within a five-minute walk of the Pavonia/Newport PATH station and the Hudson/Bergen Light Rail Transit System, The Lincoln is close to a charter school and elementary and senior high schools, houses of worship, library, parks and playing fields and St. Francis Hospital.

Because of its convenient location to Newport, residents of the Lincoln can take advantage of all the amenities the waterfront community has to offer.

These services include, shopping at the Newport Mall, health center with an Olympic-sized indoor/outdoor pool, two on-site major supermarkets, marina, childcare center, restaurants, fishing piers, movie theater, parks and sitting areas and the Hudson River Waterfront Esplanade.
