THE BUILDER BEHIND SERENITY RIDGE: A LEGACY YOU CAN TRUST
At Serenity Ridge Mountain Club, buyers aren’t just purchasing a second home – they’re securing peace of mind. That confidence begins with trust in the builder. Ferruggia Associates, the developer behind Serenity Ridge, is a multigenerational, family-owned firm with over 50 years of experience delivering high-quality residential communities across New Jersey and New York. Founded by Chas Ferruggia Sr. and Bob Ferruggia—both still actively involved—the firm is now led by the second and third generations, including Rick Ferruggia, Chas Sr.’s son. This continuity ensures that the company’s values, commitment to excellence, and hands-on leadership are preserved across every project.
Ferruggia Associates has earned a reputation for delivering on their promises. Their projects are built with care and managed with pride—a guiding philosophy that drives every step of development, from planning and construction to long-term community stewardship. Unlike developers who exit once the homes are sold, Ferruggia remains engaged to ensure that each community reaches its full potential. Their portfolio spans a wide spectrum of residential development, from single-family homes to multifamily neighborhoods. Notably, they developed Cape Shores Resort, a successful second home community in Cape May, NJ (capeshoresresort.com). That same vision is now being realized at Serenity Ridge—Ferruggia’s second vacation cottage home destination—where lifestyle, nature, and community intersect.
The development plan for Serenity Ridge includes a wide range of thoughtfully curated amenities designed to elevate the experience of seasonal living. The Summit Lounge — featuring a comfortable lounge with a flatscreen TV, game tables, and a billiards area— will serve as a hub for relaxed social gatherings. The open-air covered pavilion will offer additional space for community events, while the pool house will incorporate a fitness center to promote wellness and active living. Walking trails, firepits, and scenic overlooks further enhance the connection to the land.
With model cottages completed and infrastructure well underway, the project is advancing in carefully phased, fully funded stages. The vision for Serenity Ridge is not aspirational—it’s actionable. Every element is backed by decades of experience and a builder’s commitment to see it through. When you choose Serenity Ridge, you’re choosing a developer with a legacy of reliability, a track record of successful vacation home communities, and an unwavering commitment to quality.
Built with care. Managed with pride. That’s the Ferruggia way.
