The partnership of Roseland Residential Trust, a subsidiary of Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI), and Ironstate Development announced that, just eight months after the launch of leasing, Jersey City Urby is 95 percent leased.
The rapid leasing of Urby’s 762 studio, one- and two-bedroom residences is reflective of the strong demand for thoughtfully designed apartments near Jersey City’s waterfront, where Mack-Cali is developing Harborside-a cultural district that blends luxury living, premier offices, locally inspired shopping and dining, and open public spaces.
“As Urby nears full occupancy, we’re witnessing a significant milestone in the Jersey City waterfront’s continued evolution into a destination neighborhood,” said Michael J. DeMarco, CEO of Mack-Cali. “The over one thousand residents who’ve moved into the building are playing an important role in bringing to life the unique arts, dining, and lifestyle scene that’s being cultivated at Harborside.”
Urby aims to reshape the apartment industry by combining fresh modern design with charming collective spaces programmed for interaction, rejuvenation, and fun. Spaces include a fully equipped gym offering regular classes, from cardio to strength training, yoga, and barre; a heated outdoor salt water pool and deck that hosts sunset events, meditation, and more; a communal kitchen for cooking demonstrations, tastings and talks; and the Urby Creative Lab, a space for residents to participate in interior design workshops, flower arranging, homemade apothecary and other classes. Additional amenities include an attended lobby, on-site parking, bicycle storage, and a dog run.
Apartments come in a variety of layouts, from compact alcove studios to spacious corner two-bedrooms, with most residences offering spectacular views of the harbor, New York skyline, and the New Jersey Highlands through wide bands of ribbon windows.
Designed by the innovative Dutch architects concrete, Urby is the tallest residential building in New Jersey. The 713-foot-tall tower’s playful massing is composed of multi-story, stacked sections that cantilever off one another and are clad in differing fenestration treatments. The uniquely designed tower serves as an unmistakable landmark for Harborside, where Mack-Cali recently unveiled a plan to invest $75 million toward modernizing 4.3 million square feet of class A office buildings, and drastically upgrading public and retail spaces.
Urby provides residents with seamless access to Manhattan, seven minutes via the Exchange Place PATH station located one block from the building, and six to eight minutes (depending on destination) via the recently launched Harborside NY Waterway ferry terminal. The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stop located directly at the building provides access up and down the New Jersey Waterfront. Additionally, a new Citi Bike station at Harborside offers residents and office tenants in the area yet another transportation option.
Jersey City Urby is located at 200 Greene Street.
