By Erika Schnitzer, Associate EditorJersey City, N.J.—Robert Martin Co. LLC’s The Residences at Dixon Mills has announced a partnership with Zipcar, a service that it will add to its laundry list of amenities already offered to the condominium’s residents. The partnership will put vehicles at Dixon’s doorstep.At the 467-unit Dixon Mills, Zipcar has made two vehicles available for members: a Honda Element and a Mazda 3. Members are able to view vehicle availability and reserve a self-service car via the Internet, iPhone app, or by telephone. Zipcar members are given a “Zipcard,” which contains a wireless chip that opens the vehicle they have reserved. The reservation includes driver’s insurance, a gas card for the car and reimbursements for typical car maintenance items. “They’ve been very well-received,” says Kathleen Cuttingham, property manager at Dixon Mills. “It can be tough to be a car owner in the city. Zipcar solves that problem by giving members all of the benefits of vehicle ownership with the added advantages of free gas and insurance, as well as access on an as-needed basis.”The Club at Dixon Mills features a fitness center, locker rooms, a yoga/movement room, community lounge, media room, indoor multi-purpose recreational court, a fireplace, kitchen, and screening room with a large projection television and a WiFi laptop bar.As part of the community’s amenity package, Dixon Mills offers residents a shuttle bus that takes them from their door to the PATH station.Converted from Joseph Dixon’s Romanesque Revival-style Ticonderoga pencil factory by Perkins Eastman, many of the development’s original architectural details, period brickworks and wrought-iron railings have been restored.Dixon Mills offers studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom condominium residences from the low $200,000s. Duplexes, triplexes and over 100 penthouses are also available. Many residence feature hardwood floors, oversized windows, gourmet kitchens with GE Profile stainless steel appliances and granite countertops; and bathrooms with Carrara tile floors, marble vanities or pedestal sinks.
