context_page_description: Pier Village is a Victorian-inspired mixed-use community located in Long Branch, New Jersey along the Atlantic Ocean. It opened in 2005.
context_section_description: Pier Village consists of 536 rental residences sitting atop more than 100,000 square feet (9,300 m²) of retail space. A public grassy area called Festival Plaza is the site of regular events, including concerts, arts & crafts fairs, outdoor movies and holiday events.  The first story of Pier Village is filled with shops, restaurants, lounges, a salon, and a gym, while the upper floors are filled with ocean-view Apartments. There is two-hour metered surface parking and two enclosed parking garages.
  The tenants are mostly local businesses, most from Monmouth County, but there are national brands, such as Stewart's Root Beer, Rocky Mountain Chocolate Factory, Winz Market and Gold's Gym.
  There are three restaurants situated on the boardwalk facing the ocean: Avenue, Sirena and McLoones. Of these, only McLoone's Pier House is free-standing.  McLoone's was the only building built from the ground up by the restaurateur and was open a year in advance of the rest of the commercial properties within the Village. Also located in Pier Village is  The Wine Loft a high end Wine Bar. The developers David Barry and Michael Barry, along with partners, opened up a members-only beach club called Le Club. Designed by London-based architect David Collins, who also designed London’s Nobu Berkeley Street restaurant and the famed Blue Bar, Le Club is a 25,000-square-foot (2,300 m²) resort featuring a modern tri-level building with a rooftop pool and sun deck offering views of the ocean and a private beach area with palm trees and cabanas.  Travel & Leisure Magazine named it one of “20 Great American Beaches" in its July, 2007 issue , and New York Magazine profiled it in its annual Summer issue .
