A new oceanfront condo development called LIDO Asbury Park hasn’t even finished construction, but it’s already made real estate history — thanks to a record-breaking $7.6 million penthouse sale that now ranks as the highest-priced condo transaction in New Jersey history.
The three-story penthouse, one of several topping the eight-story project, includes more than 3,600 square feet of interior space and another 2,366 square feet outdoors — enough room for a private plunge pool, a rooftop summer kitchen, and double-height ceilings that frame sweeping Atlantic views.
It’s not just a win for the developers; it’s a sign that New Jersey’s coastline is becoming a serious player in the luxury market.
Developed by Inspired by Somerset Development (the same team behind Bell Works) and designed by the globally recognized Clodagh Design, LIDO Asbury Park is already drawing comparisons to high-end beachfront developments in Miami and Malibu.
And if early sales are any indication, buyers are ready to invest big in what’s fast becoming one of the East Coast’s buzziest seaside escapes.
Record-breaking penthouse with rooftop plunge pool sells for $7.6M
The $7.6 million deal that set the new state record centers around a four-bedroom, three-story penthouse that packs in plenty of wow-factor.
The triplex layout includes a rooftop terrace with a private plunge pool, a mezzanine-level summer kitchen, soaring double-height ceilings, and a grand marble fireplace anchoring the main living area.
Indoor-outdoor living with oversized terraces
In total, the residence spans 3,626 square feet of indoor living space, plus 2,366 square feet outside—nearly doubling the usable square footage. The listing and sale were handled by Corcoran Sunshine Marketing Group, the exclusive sales and marketing agency for the building.
112 condos, with prices starting at $825K and reaching over $8M
LIDO will eventually bring 112 condos to the Asbury Park waterfront, ranging from one- to four-bedroom units, each thoughtfully designed with open layouts, custom millwork, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Entry-level homes start at $825,000, while the most lavish offerings — multi-story penthouses and garden terrace units — are listed at $8 million and up.
Residences range in size from 970 to over 3,800 square feet, and many feature oversized terraces, private plunge pools, and outdoor kitchens — hallmarks of high-end beachfront living.
Design-forward interiors that channel the spirit of Asbury Park
The interiors come courtesy of Clodagh Design, whose work spans international luxury hotels and upscale residential towers. Their vision for LIDO embraces natural wood and stone finishes, accented with bursts of color that nod to Asbury Park’s vibrant art, music, and boardwalk culture.
Taj Mahal stone countertops and warm white oak cabinetry define the kitchens, which also come equipped with integrated Miele appliances and custom brass hardware. Spa-like bathrooms include radiant heated floors and white oak vanities, giving even the most functional rooms a sense of retreat.
Nearly 50,000 square feet of resort-style amenities
LIDO isn’t just about the residences — buyers here get access to a staggering 50,000 square feet of amenities, many of which are designed to support wellness and leisure all year long.
Highlights include a saltwater swimming pool with sun shelf and infinity edge, private cabanas, firepits, and a sculpture garden. Inside, there’s a screening room, multisport simulator, game room, library lounge, coworking suite, and even a pet spa. There’s also a children’s playroom, ensuring families are just as catered to as retirees and weekenders.
Spa-inspired wellness wing with hammam, Vichy shower, and ocean views
The development leans heavily into spa culture, with an indoor-outdoor wellness area that includes a Turkish hammam, Vichy shower, treatment room, hot and cold plunge pools, and dual saunas — one inside and one outdoors with a firepit.
The oceanfront fitness center includes both cardio and strength-training equipment, along with a private studio for yoga, pilates, or guided meditation. For residents craving a vacation-style experience at home, the setup is hard to beat.
Grand entrance lobbies with seashell staircase and fireplace
The arrival experience at LIDO was given just as much attention as the private living spaces. The South Lobby makes a strong first impression with a bronze spiral staircase modeled after a seashell and a waterfall concierge desk surrounded by white oak arches.
Over in the North Lobby, the vibe is more tranquil, with a reflecting pool, green walls, and a custom stone fireplace that sets the tone for the retreat-like atmosphere throughout the building.
Full-time or vacation? LIDO caters to both
Whether buyers are relocating permanently or just seeking a luxe beach retreat, LIDO’s range of floor plans and amenities makes it flexible. As Jodi Stasse, Senior Managing Director at Corcoran Sunshine, puts it, “From well-appointed one-bedrooms to expansive multi-floor penthouses, there’s a home for every lifestyle and preference.”
And with first closings expected in 2027, early buyers still have time to customize select features — or secure one of the development’s most sought-after residences before they’re gone.
