JERSEY CITY, N. J.

Located on the Hudson waterfront, the Mandalay sales team reports that over 40 individuals have invested in homes at the luxury high-rise with the intention to renovate and lease.

Pinnacle's partnership with Liberty Realty will make the investment process seamless by putting Mandalay investors in touch with a group that has a steady stream of prospects looking for luxurious space to lease as a home.

And with 80 percent of Mandalay's condominium homes already sold, now is the time to invest before the opportunity no longer exists. One-, two- and three-bedroom homes are being offered at affordable prices starting in the low $400,000s. A garage parking space is included in the purchase price.
