Dixon Mills
With many people wondering whether now is the right time to purchase a new home, Wells Fargo is partnering with The Residences at Dixon Mills, Jersey City’s landmark condominium community, to host a home buying seminar from 1 to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 24. The public is invited to attend the event, where Rick Knackstedt, a home mortgage consultant at Wells Fargo, will host a discussion entitled, “Buying A Home In Today’s Market: Making Smart Moves.”
For more information or to reserve your place in the seminar, please call The Residences at Dixon Mills Sales Office, located at 158 Wayne St., Jersey City, N.J., at 201-309-1004
During this seminar, which is open to all types of potential buyers — first-time, move-up, second home or investment purchasers — Knackstedt will assist attendees in how to make informed decisions by answering any and all questions about the home buying process.
Knackstedt will answer key questions such as, “Is this a good time to buy a home?” “Is my credit good enough to qualify?” “How much money will I need for a down payment?” and “What type of mortgage financing is available?”
“This is an opportunity to find out everything you’ve ever wanted to know about purchasing a new home,” said Knackstedt. “We’ll discuss every aspect of the home buying process, from pre-approval through closing. We’ll also discuss the ways that Wells Fargo can assist you in the process.”
Knackstedt will focus on why now is an especially opportunistic time to purchase in Jersey City, where Dixon Mills is located.
“Since first opening The Residences at Dixon Mills, mortgage rates have never been lower than they are today,” stated Jon Ha, sales manager at Dixon Mills. “As a result, we’re seeing strong demand amongst prospective buyers, who want to know more about the current conditions for buying a home and how to navigate through the process.”
A conversion of the landmark Dixon Mills factory in Jersey City into a community of 467 luxury condominiums, The Residences at Dixon Mills features residences that boast chic industrial architecture and one-of-a-kind floor plans. Studios, as well as one-, two- and three-bedroom condominium residences are available from the mid $200,000s. Duplexes and triplexes are also available, as are over 100 penthouses.
Over 350 one-of-a-kind floor plans, including duplexes and triplexes, are available to fit an array of lifestyle needs. The community is located just three blocks from the nearby Grove Street PATH station, offering direct access into Manhattan, as well as the neighborhood’s many retailers, restaurants and cultural and entertainment venues.
The five separate buildings that comprise The Residences at Dixon Mills were converted into apartments in the late 1980s. RGD Dixon, the venture between leading real estate development firm Robert Martin Co. and GoldenTree InSite Partners, is making a multimillion dollar investment in Dixon Mills by converting these historic buildings from apartments to condominiums, restoring the original architectural details, such as period brickwork, cobblestone-style streets, landscaped courtyards and turn-of-the-century streetlamps.
The condos in Phase I and Phase II of the community are sold out. Select residences remain available for sale in Phase III.
Many of the homes at Dixon Mills feature oversized windows and ceilings that range in height from nine feet to 12 feet; stylish gourmet kitchens outfitted with G.E. Profile stainless steel appliances and granite countertops; and luxurious bathrooms with Carrara tile floors, beautiful marble vanities, pedestal sinks and sleek finishes. Private outdoor patios with spectacular views of the Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty are available with select homes.
Progress is well underway for The Club at Dixon Mills, which will provide residents with access to a state-of-the-art complex featuring several lifestyle enhancing amenities, including a fully-equipped fitness center; movement room for activities such as yoga, stretching and classes; an all-purpose sports court for basketball and volleyball; and men’s and women’s locker rooms and saunas. Other amenities will include an expansive lifestyle lounge complete with a fireplace and kitchen, and a media room with comfortable seating and a plug ‘n’ play WiFi laptop area. The Club is scheduled to be completed in Spring 2009.
In addition to The Club at Dixon Mills, community amenities include round-the-clock security, courtyards with grills, private shuttle buses to the PATH station and on-site management and parking.
The Residences at Dixon Mills Sales Office is open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday; and from noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday. To visit the Sales Office, take Interstate 78 East to the Jersey City/Columbus Drive exit and stay straight to go onto Center Street. Make a right onto Christopher Columbus Drive.
