The Connell Company, one of the largest diversified, privately held corporations in the U.S., has begun leasing 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 Connell 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 generated strong interest and a high volume of inquiries.
Designed by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners in collaboration with David M. Sullivan Inc., each residence will feature modern finishes 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 community taking shape at The Park, which will feature a curated mix of restaurants, entertainment 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 customized services for dogs.
“We’re incredibly excited to officially begin preleasing RT500 and start welcoming future residents into the RT Residences experience,” said Shane Connell, executive vice president of The Connell Company. “From the moment people step inside, they’ll be able to see how the residences, amenities and the surrounding community at The Park are coming together to create something truly special. RT500 offers beautiful living spaces and access to an energetic, thoughtfully curated lifestyle with dining, entertainment and social spaces that make this community unlike anything else in the area.”
The Park is a 185-acre campus with a 176-room Embassy Suites Hotel, 112,000 square foot Lifetime Fitness center and over 1.5 million square feet of work resort offices, flexible workspaces and collaborative lounges, outdoor trail and parks, all anchored by a hospitality, culinary and wellness culture. The Park is currently adding offerings along District Drive, which in addition to the RT Residences buildings, will include 160,000 square feet of dining, entertainment, wellness and lifestyle concepts, including Boschetto, Four Spoons Ice Cream Company, Doner Shack, Cafe Exchange, Dogtopia, Greatness Wins, Prime IV Hydration & Wellness, Emberside Brewery, Rosa Azul, BASH and BASH’s MODO Hi-Fi Listening Bar, bringing the whole campus together into one vibrant destination.
