The Amenities Race: What Makes The Waterfront Stand Out
In the extremely competitive Lehigh Valley real estate market, amenities have quickly become more than just nice-to-haves; they are essential in attracting residents, businesses, and visitors to any property or development. This is extremely evident at The Waterfront, where an impressive array of amenities has set a new standard for modern living and working. Amenities are no longer limited to a fitness center or lobby coffee machine. They are a critical component of the lifestyle that a community promises to deliver. From state-of-the-art co-working spaces to curated rooftops, the goal is to create an environment where convenience, comfort, and luxury meet.
The Waterfront General Site
Outdoor Recreation
Nature is at the heart of The Waterfront. With the River Walk, connection to trails the span across Lehigh Valley, and more, residents and visitors alike can stay active while taking in the beauty of the surrounding environment. These spaces also serve as spots for community events, outdoor yoga, or simply unwinding after a busy day.
Sustainable Practices
Environmental sustainability is a priority at The Waterfront. With eco-friendly practices, energy-efficient systems, and green initiatives such as recycling programs and electric vehicle charging stations, this development aligns with the values of today’s eco-friendly audience.
Secure Site and Buildings
The Waterfront has a 24/7 security team that surveilles the whole 29-acre site to enforces rules and regulations. Within each building, there is a building concierge that helps keep each visitor accounted for and ensures the building remains safe. Each building is equipped with card access for tenants, and for the commercial properties, tenants are only able to access the floor in which they work.
Residential Amenities
State-of-the-Art Fitness Center
River House, the first residential apartment building at The Waterfront, boasts a state-of-the-art fitness center equipped with many machines, mirrors, and TVs. This space serves as a small fitness sanctuary for those who wish to use it!
Rooftop and Courtyard
Not only does River House have a rooftop, but it also has a courtyard! Both areas have barbeque grills for tenant use. The courtyard has a swimming pool accessible to tenants only. The courtyard will also feature outdoor televisions and seating for those who like to host events!
Co-Working Spaces
The lobby of River House has coworking spaces for those remote or hybrid workers who maybe want a change of scenery! These spaces have complimentary WiFi, desks and conference tables, TVs, and a printer for convenience.
Kayak Storage and Dock Access
Tenants will be able to utilize a storge area for a small extra fee per month. This area is for those who love recreational activities, like kayaking and biking. Storage for these items is available on the first floor and has direct access to the outside. Those who wish to store kayaks will also have access to the south dock that is on the Lehigh River. This dock is for authorized tenants only.
Dog Park and Washing
Pet parents – we have exactly what you need! Access to an exclusive, tenant-only dog park is available at The Waterfront. If it’s muddy from rain or salty from winter weather measures outside, take your dogs to the dog washing station for a quick paw rinse or a full bath!
Commercial Amenities
Ultra-Clean HVAC Systems
615 Waterfront is equipped with an ultra-clean HVAC system. This system captures and filters air throughout the whole building, leading to clean air. This system was installed to help combat viruses. These systems are part of The Waterfront’s signature campus-wide Wellness+ program, which seamlessly combines the luxury of Class A space with state-of-the-art health and wellness initiatives.
Access to Eateries and Wellness Activities
The Waterfront is within walking distance, or a short elevator ride, to eateries and wellness activities. 615 Waterfront is home to Nowa, a Mediterranean-American fusion restaurant located on Floor 01. It is also accessible to Vibe Power Yoga for a pre-work or post-work yoga class!
Building Concierge
Tenant safety and security is The Waterfront Development Company’s focus! When the building is closed, the building is locked to the public and is available to be unlocked by tenants via key access – so, tenants have the ability to access the building 24/7. The elevators and stairwells in the building are also used via key access, and tenants are allowed to access the floor in which they work on. During the building’s business hours, the building is unlocked to the public and a building concierge is available. This building concierge is responsible for checking guest logs for the day and giving the first impression of The Waterfront’s hospitality to visitors!
The Waterfront is an example of how amenities can transform a property into a thriving community. By prioritizing the needs and desires of residents, businesses, and visitors, The Waterfront has positioned itself as a leader in modern living and working. Whether you’re seeking a vibrant social scene, a productive work environment, or a tranquil escape, The Waterfront hopes to host your next adventure!
