Roy Stillman

Roy Stillman is president of Stillman Development International, the developer of The Atlantic Club Residences in Long Branch, New Jersey, which has topped off. The company describes him as a third-generation developer whose art-centric philosophy has produced work with Pritzker Prize-winning architects. The Atlantic Club Residences Spotlight and our New York market coverage covers the current project.

Why it matters

Stillman’s pitch is architecture first. The company says his approach pairs leading architects with meticulous material selection and an emphasis on creating “livable works of art,” a line that runs through every project below. At The Atlantic Club he said in the company’s release that the goal is “a new caliber of luxury real estate” on the Atlantic coast, 45 minutes from New York City.

The numbers

The company lists three completed Manhattan condominiums. The Metropolitan (completed 2004), a 32-story building at 181 East 90th Street in Carnegie Hill, was designed by Philip Johnson as one of his final works; Stillman hand-selected the marble. The Centurion (2009), at 33 West 56th Street, is a French-limestone building of about 48 residences by I.M. Pei and Sandi Pei, described as Pei’s only ground-up residential condominium in New York, with stepped terraces and a lobby water garden. The Schumacher (2015) converted an 1885 Romanesque Revival printing house at 36 Bleecker Street in NoHo into about 20 lofts, with Morris Adjmi overseeing the facade restoration and a Ken Smith courtyard garden.

What’s next

His current project, The Atlantic Club Residences, has 132 condominiums in two towers and is slated for completion in early 2027. The company says a penthouse sold for $5.95 million, a Monmouth County record. We will update this profile as the project delivers.
