Transforming Luxury Living in Rochelle Park

With limited land available for new development, developers across the Northeast increasingly focus on redevelopment opportunities. In New Jersey, Tulfra Real Estate specializes in revitalizing underutilized properties, turning them into thriving assets that enhance communities and generate economic value.

Recognizing the potential in an underperforming asset in Rochelle Park, Tulfra reimagined it as The Delford—a luxurious urban retreat that blends upscale living with dynamic community experiences.

Bohler’s collaboration was instrumental in turning our vision into a community with unmatched amenities, shaped by our personal experiences as apartment dwellers.”

This six-story, 160-unit luxury apartment building offers residents high-end amenities, thoughtfully designed outdoor spaces, and a seamless blend of privacy and connection to the surrounding neighborhood. Adjacent to the iconic Westfield Garden State Plaza, The Delford is a cornerstone of convenience, elegance, and community revitalization.

Bohler played a pivotal role in bringing this vision to life, contributing its expertise to design an elevated courtyard with year-round amenities, integrate accessibility features, and create outdoor spaces that balance resident privacy with neighborhood engagement. Through innovative, detail-driven solutions, Bohler helped transform Tulfra’s ambitious concept into a reality, showcasing a commitment to excellence and collaboration at every stage.

Bohler’s insight helped us deliver a stunning, amenity-rich project—complete with parks, pools, and co-working spaces—all within a realistic budget.”

Second-Story Amenity Courtyard

Bohler’s landscape architects designed the courtyard to seamlessly blend with the building’s luxury theme while fostering a sense of community among residents.

Resort-Style Pool: The resort-style pool is the focal point of the courtyard, designed for both relaxation and recreation.  When the pool couldn’t be set into the parking deck, the team innovatively built it up, ensuring accessibility while maintaining a clear separation between seasonal and year-round amenity spaces.

Lounge Seating Areas: Comfortable, stylish seating that encourages community interaction and provides a serene space for unwinding.

Fire Pits and Outdoor Kitchen: These elements add warmth and enhance the communal experience, making the space inviting year-round.

Private Patios and Turf Exercise Area: Personal retreat spaces and an area for outdoor fitness, catering to the diverse needs of residents.

Our relationship with Adam Alexander and Bohler’s team was key to realizing our vision. Their expertise and partnership made all the difference.”

Creating a Community Retreat

A key feature of the redevelopment project was the restoration of an existing pond that had long been a staple of the community before falling into disrepair. Bohler played a central role in bringing the pond back to its original glory, designing and stabilizing the water feature, and creating a walkway around it to make it a focal point for the community. Historical documentation was carefully reviewed to ensure the restoration honored the site’s legacy, transforming the pond into a functional and beautiful space once again.

Bohler also designed a public park surrounding the pond, incorporating a fishing and viewing platform that encourages outdoor recreation and connects visitors with nature. Interpretive signage was added to share the historical significance of the site, while enhanced landscaping with thoughtfully selected plantings fostered a tranquil environment. Site furnishings, including benches and seating areas, were strategically placed to maximize comfort and views, making the park a welcoming spot for relaxation.

Bohler’s landscape architects not only restored the pond but also created an accessible, serene space that promotes community engagement and leisure.

The Delford at Village Center showcases how Bohler’s expertise in landscape architecture can elevate a residential project from standard to exceptional. By focusing on innovative, resident-focused, and community-enhancing outdoor spaces, Bohler’s contributions have helped establish The Delford as a premier living destination that blends luxury, comfort, and thoughtful design.

Thanks to Bohler’s contributions, we achieved our goal–a fully leased building within 100 days and a thriving, happy community.”
