The
newest star to rise in flourishing Jersey City is the 33-story
“A”, a deluxe brick-and-glass condo tower near
the river on Washington Street. “Residents will be able
to walk to work on this side of the Hudson, or take their
choice of outstanding public transportation to Manhattan,”
says Tom Shapiro, president of GoldenTree InSite Partners.
“With the rising cost of housing in New York, Jersey
City represents an attractive alternative for high-net-worth
apartment seekers who want to stay in the metropolitan area.”
Each of the 250 condos will have wide-plank oak floors, spacious
walk-in closets, washer/dryers, 9ft plus ceilings, glass-railed
balconies and floor-to-ceiling windows with dazzling river
and skyline views. Other attractions: sunset terrace, private
fitness center, optional storage spaces, security sysem, 24/7
concierge and personal assistant services. The $110 million
project also includes 10,000 sf of retail space and a 238-space
parking garage. $400,000 to $1 million plus.

CULTURE
VULTURES SOUGHT
Hoboken
is buzzing over the anticipated 800 Monroe, a 13-story condo
rising within the high-concept Monroe Center. “This is
an important milestone: a one-of-a-kind neighborhood blending
luxury living with the creative energy of an arts-inspired community,”
says Dil Hoda, managing partner at Monroe Center Development.
For business professionals, arts lovers and parents looking
to expose their kids to culture, 800 Monroe will be the most
sought-after address on the Gold Coast. All 123 luxury homes,
many with fantastic views, offer elegant floor plans, open kitchens,
bamboo floors and “smart” wiring. Inspiring outdoor
spaces abound: spectacular rooftop gardens, piazza with “water
garden” by Victoria Marshall, “hammock park”,
open-air performance space and sidewalk cafes, as well as a
vibrant mix of dining, shopping, galleries and theaters. With
easy access to the new Light Rail, this “transit village”
is a commuter’s dream. Also offering something unheard-of
in Hoboken: parking! Opening March. $450,000 to $1.5 million.

“We’re
seeing continued development in New Jersey’s urban centers in
response to an ever-increasing demand for luxury residences near mass
transportation,” says Michael Barry, a principal of Applied
Development Company. “Mixed-use development is the byword…
People want retail shops and services at their doorstep; they’d
like to be able to walk rather than drive.” |
