Leasing Underway for Summer Occupancy
The Sylvan lobby
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J. (July 7, 2026) – The Sylvan in Englewood Cliffs has unveiled its luxury apartment offering – now available for leasing – introducing premier rentals and refined lifestyle amenities in Bergen County, just minutes from Manhattan. Developed by Garden Communities, the high-profile multifamily building offers spacious studio, one- and two-bedroom residences designed for contemporary living.
Situated at 1 Valentine Street off Route 9W, high above New Jersey’s Hudson River Palisades, The Sylvan’s multifamily building features 338 upscale apartments; select homes include dens. The resident experience centers on an impressive suite of high-end amenities spanning more than 90,000 square feet indoors and out, at no additional cost.
“The Sylvan’s resort-caliber lifestyle truly sets it apart – there’s simply nothing else like it in this area,” said Garden Communities’ Principal Brett Tanzman. “The distinctive gathering areas and their features were created to establish a sense of community and serve as a seamless extension of residents’ living spaces.”
Scottsdale, Ariz.-based Catalyst Interiors curated The Sylvan’s amenities suite to balance elevated design with real-world performance.
The multifamily building’s striking, concierge-attended lobby provides a “wow” moment and sets an immediate tone of arrival with sophisticated décor, double-height ceilings and abundant glass.
Interior social spaces include a billiards room, entertainment lounge, private dining room and a media lounge, as well as a sports lounge and speakeasy-inspired retreat. Wellness is prioritized through a state-of-the-art fitness center with multiple dedicated rooms, featuring open-air garage doors, Peloton bikes and rowers, as well as private training and yoga studios.
The Sylvan’s outdoor areas for residents’ enjoyment include North and South courtyard terraces which, upon completion, will incorporate garden pathways, seating areas and fire pit lounges, a splash pad and additional gathering spaces. A zero-entry swimming pool, sun decks with loungers, and alfresco dining with BBQ grills anchor the Pool Deck. The grounds will also include a quarter-acre park and dog run. A stunning Rooftop Terrace with sweeping views of the New York City skyline completes the package with pergolas and comfortable seating.
“The Sylvan’s elevated amenities and elegantly appointed apartments offer a seamless blend of comfort, convenience and upscale everyday living,” said Garden Communities’ Principal Orin Wilf. “Our full introduction and leasing launch mark an exciting milestone for this distinguished community.”
Initial monthly rents for studio apartments at The Sylvan begin at $2,700. For more information, call 201-380-9181 or visit RentTheSylvanNJ.com. The community will deliver 450 rental residences upon completion, also including 112 grandly scaled, three-story, three-bedroom townhomes now leasing.
“Leasing at The Sylvan is off to a strong start,” said Stacy Esser of the Stacy Esser Group at Keller Williams Town Life Realty. “We’re seeing great interest from both longtime local residents and new renters drawn to the property’s location and lifestyle.”
The Sylvan’s setting illustrates Bergen County living at its best – close to award-winning restaurants, world-class shopping, recreation and parks, and the magnificence of Manhattan. Englewood Cliffs is widely recognized for its commuter convenience. The Sylvan is just three miles from the George Washington Bridge and offers easy access to public transportation, major highways, top-rated schools and healthcare facilities.
As one of the region’s most active developers in its high-end niche, Short Hills, N.J.-based Garden Communities has a robust multifamily project pipeline that will introduce dozens of new rental apartment and townhome communities in the tri-state area over the next several years. Garden Communities is recognized for its responsive, hands-on approach to property operations, and its focus on meeting the needs and desires of modern renters.
PHOTO CAPTION: The Sylvan’s design, by Catalyst Interiors, is rooted in a contemporary foundation infused with subtle Art Deco influences to balance a sense of timelessness with a forward-looking approach. Clean lines and tailored forms are complemented by moments of pattern and curvature, expressed through refined detailing, while a palette of rich, warm tones is energized by accents of bold color. “The result is a sophisticated yet inviting environment that feels both grounded in its context and elevated in its execution,” noted Catalyst’s Katherine McCravey, owner.
