Kushner Breaks Ground on 39-Unit One Eighty Ocean in Long Branch

• 180 Ocean Avenue, Long Branch, NJ: Kushner affiliate PV Condo LLC has broken ground on One Eighty Ocean, a six-story oceanfront condominium with 39 two- to four-bedroom residences and direct Atlantic Ocean views.
• $138.4 million project: EB-5 offering materials put the development cost at $138.4 million and projected sellout at $171 million, with Valley Bank providing financing.
• Final Pier Village phase: One Eighty Ocean is planned as the fifth and final phase of Kushner's Pier Village development, expanding the firm's oceanfront footprint in Long Branch.

What Kushner Is Building

Construction began after a groundbreaking ceremony on September 24, bringing a new boutique condominium project to 180 Ocean Avenue, immediately south of Pier Village. Designed by MHS Architects, the six-story building will feature stepped massing, floor-to-ceiling glass and private terraces designed around Atlantic Ocean views. Every residence will have private outdoor space, with select terraces offering outdoor kitchens, plunge spas and fire pits.

 

 

What Buyers Will Get

The 39 residences will range from two to four bedrooms, with ceiling heights reaching up to 10 feet, 6 inches. The project is positioned as a low-density alternative to larger residential developments, with each home designed around private outdoor space and ocean exposure. The rooftop Sky Terrace will include an outdoor kitchen, dining pavilions and fire features. Owners will also have access to an extensive amenity program spread across three levels.

 

 

What The Amenity Package Includes

The oceanfront pool deck will feature a swimming pool, hot tub, cold plunge, cabanas, fire pits and an outdoor cinema. Indoor amenities will include a great room with a salon, bar and billiards, a screening room and a children's playroom. A dedicated wellness area will add treatment rooms, hydrotherapy, sauna and steam facilities, while an ocean-facing fitness center and yoga studio round out the health and wellness offering.

 

 

What The Investment Means For Pier Village

Kushner assembled the One Eighty Ocean site over several years, including purchases of 170 Ocean Avenue for roughly $6 million in 2017 and 176 Ocean Avenue for $2.7 million in 2018. The project represents another step in the company's long-term investment along the Long Branch shoreline. The City of Long Branch describes Pier Village as a single-ownership district, a structure that allows coordinated investment and management across the private development and public realm.

 

 

What Comes Next For One Eighty Ocean

With construction underway, the development team is marketing the residences through SERHANT, while Valley Bank is providing project financing. The $171 million projected sellout gives the project an important for-sale benchmark as Kushner moves into the final phase of its Pier Village expansion. For Long Branch, One Eighty Ocean adds 39 high-end ownership units directly on the Jersey Shore, extending the concentration of residential, hospitality and retail investment around Pier Village.
