Jaclyn Heights at West New York by D.R. Mon Group Ribbon Cutting Ceremony

HAMILTON, N.J. - March 18, 2013 - PRLog -- Felix Roque, M.D., West New York Mayor;  Robert Huether, Assistant Director for Single Family Programs for NJHMFA; Susan Mearns, Division Chief of Hudson County Housing and Community Development; and Robert DiVincent, CEO of the West New York Housing Corporation joined the nearly fifty invited guests at the Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for Jaclyn Heights at West New York.

“The demand for workforce housing is so high in many urban communities in Northern New Jersey that Phase I nearly sold out in less than a year,” stated Dean Mon, President/CEO of D.R. Mon Group, Inc. “Projects like Jaclyn Heights gives everyone the opportunity to live the American Dream of homeownership.”

D.R. Mon Group started the first phase of Jaclyn Heights in February 2012. It includes two buildings – The Jefferson and The Washington, housing fifty-five Affordable and Emerging Market condominiums. All of the units include a spacious, open living area, large walk-through closet in the master bedroom, and numerous other exceptional amenities. Both buildings have an elevator, mail room, and assigned covered parking spaces. Five units ranging in price from $182,000 to $288,000 are still available in Phase I. D.R. Mon Group plans to start Phase II soon, making another hundred units available.

“Projects such as Jaclyn Heights are integral to the growth of West New York,” added Mayor Roque. “Because of Mon’s vision to make high-quality affordable housing available to the working class community, West New York will have a better and brighter future.”

D.R. Mon Group is expecting Jaclyn Heights to be LEED for homes certified, as well as Energy Star and the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) Green certified. It will be one of the few condominium communities in New Jersey that meets the standards for all three certifications. Homeowners benefit from reduced energy costs and clean air while contributing to sustainability.

Jaclyn Heights qualifies for West New York’s Five-year Real Estate Tax Abatement, allowing homeowners to save money on taxes. It is located within an Urban Enterprise Zone, so its residents also benefit from the 3.5% local sales tax rate, making living and dining locally even more affordable.

Strategically located across the Hudson River from Manhattan, Jaclyn Heights residents can walk to the Light Rail Station for access to the Hudson River Waterfront and ferries to New York City. Shopping, dining and other amenities are also within walking distance, as well as schools, daycare centers and churches.

The community is constructed on the site of a factory owned and operated by Jaclyn Inc.; a company which was well-known for helping the Cuban immigrant community find work in North Jersey in the early 1960s.
