Developer Mark Built Homes is at the vanguard of a movement in Long Branch that is bringing upscale condominium living to one of the most vibrant and beautiful stretches of the Jersey Shore.  

365 Ocean, a collection of 57 luxury condominium residences, is a seven-story building situated right on Ocean Avenue that combines modern interior spaces and a full complement of lifestyle amenities with the sun, sand, and surf experience that makes shore living so popular. Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects, the 2019 American Institute of Architects New Jersey Firm of the Year, adeptly designed the community to offer breathtaking ocean views from every home.  

365 Ocean is strategically located within walking distance of Pier Village, Long Branch’s popular, Victorian-inspired shopping, dining, and entertainment district, but far enough away from it so that the beaches are quiet, the crowds are sparse, and residents are able to experience the peace and beauty of the natural setting.  

“Buyers appreciate the fact that 365 Ocean isn’t located in a redevelopment zone, and our location doesn’t attract day-trippers coming to the beach for the day,” says David Schoner, Vice President of CB New Homes of Madison, NJ, the building’s exclusive marketing and sales agent.   “We’re an easy walk from Pier Village, with its fine dining, shops, and entertainment, but we’re not in the middle of it.  You have all that at your fingertips but not under your pillow. Instead, you can hear the wind blow and the seagulls sing. We’re selling oceanfront serenity, and that’s something that really resonates with buyers.”  

Prices for the community currently range from the $900s to over $2.7 million.  

With interior spaces envisioned by renowned Chicago-based interior designer Mary Cook & Associates, 365 Ocean offers a varied collection of floorplans that offer up to 2,411 square feet of living space. The homes include distinctive features designed to relax and pamper residents, such as soaring ceilings approaching 10 feet in height, oak flooring, gas hookups that accommodate outdoor grills, and glass railings that shield the wind. Each residence comes with two secure indoor parking spaces within the building. Every home includes private outdoor space.  

The stylish homes at 365 Ocean also include gourmet kitchens which stand out for their well thought-out design and attractive features, including oversized islands, custom wood cabinetry, maintenance free quartz countertops, and stainless steel undermount sinks with Kohler fixtures. High-end appliances include an ultra-luxury Jenn-Air refrigerator with ice maker, dishwasher, range with griddle top, and a microwave oven, as well as a Kitchen Aid range hood and exhaust fan.  

Luxurious baths are adorned with custom porcelain floors, furniture grade vanities with quartz countertops, and an oversized shower with frameless glass surround in the owner’s suite.  

“With such a beautiful location, we were committed to delivering a collection of residences and an aspirational lifestyle that took full advantage of this oceanfront setting,” said Michael Markovitz, President of Mark Built Homes, which has a long history of developing upscale properties in some of New Jersey’s most prominent residential locations, including Summit, Madison, Tenafly, Basking Ridge and Morris Township. “We’re excited to offer our home buyers the best aspects of beachfront living and modern design and function.”  

A superb second-floor amenity level at 365 Ocean features a club room with wet bar, Wi-fi, charging stations, lounge seating, and a theatre television area. Outside, Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects was able to design the infinity-edge plunge pool and outdoor breezeway in such a way that only the beach and ocean are visible, increasing the feeling of connection with the ocean residents feel, even when they are just at the pool. A gas fire pit also overlooks the ocean.  

A state-of the art video doorman at 365 Ocean provides 24-hour, seven-day-a-week visitor and delivery management. The lobby, elevator, and garage area are fully monitored with high-resolution cameras, and a lobby concierge will be available Memorial Day through Labor Day. Residents can provide access to their guests through an app on their Smart phone, without the need to leave the beach or pool. Two custom elevators serve all floors and electric car charging is available in the garage.  

Manhattan is just a ferry ride or train ride away for residents of 365 Ocean. Commuter ferries operate out of the nearby town of Highlands daily, and NJ TRANSIT rail service to Manhattan is available via the Long Branch train station, which is within walking distance of 365 Ocean. The Monmouth Medical Center is also just a short walk away. For additional dining and entertainment options, the popular downtowns of Asbury Park and Red Bank are also nearby.
