A new Kushner apartment development underway in New Jersey will cater to renters of all ages. 

The 280-unit Livana Livingston in Livingston, New Jersey, will encompass two rental buildings— one designed for residents 55 and older and the other for residents of all ages. Located on the site of a former hotel owned by New York City-based Kushner, the property will include 56 affordable units blended across both buildings.

The two-building development, designed by Vienna, Virginia-based Lessard Design, will feature a mix of one-bedroom, one-bedroom-plus-den, two-bedroom and two-bedroom-plus-den units. The project is expected to be complete in 2027, according to a news release shared with Multifamily Dive.

Livana Livingston is part of Kushner’s Livana brand, a multifamily concept launched in 2024 to meet the increasing demand for what the company calls “sophisticated rental options and aspirational lifestyle living,” according to the release. The brand already includes Livana Fair Lawn and Livana East Hanover, both of which transformed former office sites into rental communities, with several other Livana developments in the pipeline. 

Each building at Livana Livingston will offer tailored amenities for residents. The 55-plus collection will promote relaxation and wellness, according to the release, with a fitness center, private men’s and women’s sauna and steam rooms and a coworking mezzanine. 

Social and recreational spaces will include a club room with lounge seating and card tables, a private dining room, a game room with billiards and a golf simulator and a rooftop terrace. Additional spaces for entertainment and relaxation will include dedicated pickleball courts, a pet spa and a community garden lawn.

The neighboring building will provide all-ages amenities, including a fitness center, a party room, a card and poker room and a hidden speakeasy lounge and movie room. For younger residents, there will be a kids’ playroom and a teen arcade lounge, while outdoor offerings will include a rooftop deck with grilling stations and firepits, a resort-style pool and covered dining and lawn areas for relaxation and entertaining. A coworking mezzanine and pet spa will round out the amenity offerings.

“Livana was envisioned with the goal of providing refined rental communities that speak to how people want to live today,” said Nicole Kushner Meyer, president of Kushner. “From young professionals and growing families to 55 and better residents seeking community and convenience, we’re focused on creating residences that combine exceptional design, well-curated amenities and a strong sense of place. Livana Livingston will be a perfect example of that mission brought to life.”

Kushner has a growing portfolio of mixed-use and multifamily projects across New Jersey. In addition to Livana Livingston, the firm is currently: 

• Developing 360 rental residences across 15 buildings in Colts Neck
• Executing the large-scale redevelopment of the Monmouth Mall in Eatontown into Monmouth Square, a new town center with 1,000 residential units and 990,000 square feet of retail and restaurants as well as expansive open space.
• Revitalizing the Lower Broadway corridor in Long Branch with a 299-unit residential and retail project that will include a SuperFresh grocery market and cafe while enhancing the connection between downtown and Kushner’s oceanfront Pier Village community

In Northern New Jersey, Kushner is also leasing in Jersey City at The Journal, a nearly $1 billion, 1,723-unit mixed-use development adjacent to the Journal Square PATH train station. The project will bring over 2 million square feet of residential, retail, amenities, parking and public space to one of the region’s most well-connected transit hubs.
