Construction Tour: Asbury Ocean Club

Looking north from the beach.

Just 70 minutes south of New York on the Jersey Shore, Asbury Park is undergoing a renaissance of culture and real estate development. Adding to the recent boom in live music and restaurants, a new hotel and residential condo development from iStar is under construction at the oceanfront. The Asbury Ocean Club is part of iStar’s 10-year, multi-billion-dollar redevelopment plan for the Asbury Park oceanfront which includes the Asbury Hotel, a bowling alley and music venue at Asbury Lanes, and Monroe’s 34 condo homes.

The 17-story Asbury Ocean Club is designed by Handel Architects and occupies an oceanfront site at Ocean Avenue, between 3rd Avenue and 4th Avenue. A 54-room boutique hotel will anchor the four story podium, with the condo residences in a tower on the north half of the site.
