These Luxury Apartments in Jersey City Now Come With Tesla Cars You Can Rent – Rob Report

Newport Associates Development Company

Need another reason to make the move across the river? Jersey City’s Newport neighborhood just got an exciting new addition — a fleet of Tesla cars that residents of the planned area can rent for a quick trip to Ikea or a day trip to the Catskills.

With New York City’s real estate market higher than ever, the so-called Sixth Ward has been luring Manhattanites to look for larger apartments at lower prices. Newport’s luxury high-rises, including the award-winning Ellipse and The Beach, come with a slew of lavish perks like rooftop pools, fitness centers and co-working lounges. But now, they’ll have the bonus of exclusive access to two Teslas parked on site.

Envoy, an electric car sharing platform, has partnered with the Waterfront community to give residents access to its collection of Tesla Model 3s. The idea, according to Newport’s developer, the Lefranc Organization, is intended to appeal to those who do not own or rent a car, and will also serve as a zero-emission mobility alternative to mass transit that can be used on demand. Residents can book electric vehicles via the Envoy app at a discounted hourly or daily rate.

“We all need to do what we can to protect our environment. That’s why we at Newport are excited about this partnership,” Jeremy Farrell, LeFrak’s managing director of development and community relations, said in a press release. “Through this partnership with Envoy, a leader in… Market In sustainable vehicle sharing, Newport once again demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and community.”

Over the past few years, car sharing programs have increased in popularity and become a competitive advantage for high-end properties. Currently, Envoy has vehicles in more than 100 apartment complexes, office buildings and hotels across the country, with plans to expand into major cities including Austin, Portland, Denver, Boston, Chicago and New York.

“We are excited to have Envoy enter New Jersey and collaborate with Newport to bring Mobility as a Service Amenity™ to this amazing waterfront community and allow residents and tenants to take advantage of more sustainable transportation with ease and convenience,” Arik added. Ohana, CEO of Envoy.
