The Connell Company’s hospitality-driven residential experience Luxury residential tower RT500 begins leasing at The Park in Berkeley Heights, NJ
E R K E L E Y HEIGHTS, NJ — The Connell Company , one of the largest diversified, privately held corporations in the U.S., has begun leas- ing RT500, an eleven-story tower that will include 179 residential units. The tower, which will be one of two at The Park under the Round Table (RT) Residences brand, will feature a wide range of resort- style amenities including an entertainment lounge, game room, state-of-the-art fitness center, rooftop pool and more. The leasing office for RT500 officially opened on June 1 and operates temporarily inside the Embassy Suites by Hilton Berkeley Heights at 250 Con - nell Drive until construction is completed. Prospective residents will soon be invited to participate in hard-hat tours of the model apartment and amenity floor, offering an early look at the community. With an anticipated move-in date of August 1, 2026, RT500, which will be managed by Greystar, has already gener - ated strong interest and a high volume of inquiries. Designed by Minno & Was- ko Architects and Planners in collaboration with David M. Sullivan Inc. , each resi- dence will feature modern fin - ishes and a palette of neutral, calming tones. Residences are highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows, contemporary quartz countertops, and wood-plank flooring. RT500 will offer an extensive amenity collection, including a fitness center; a game room with a multi-sport simulator; co-working spaces; and a rooftop entertainment lounge and deck connected to a rooftop pool. Beyond the building itself, residents will enjoy direct access to the larger commu- nity taking shape at The Park, which will feature a curated mix of restaurants, entertain- ment and lifestyle destinations. Select retail will be accessible through the RT500 building, providing seamless access to these community offerings. These include Café Exchange, a two-story social café offering premium coffee, food, and an evening wine bar with a focus on community, books, and culture, as well as Dogtopia, an award-winning provider of year-round overnight boarding, premium spa and grooming services, amongst other cus- tomized services for dogs.
