Hartz Mountain Industries has leased nearly two-thirds of a new 218-unit high-end rental property in Weehawken, hitting the milestone just four months after its debut and as the firm marks the completion of its acclaimed Lincoln Harbor district.
The developer this week said the response to The Reserve at Estuary, at 1525 Harbor Blvd., amounts to a record-breaking lease-up pace for both the company and the surrounding area. That’s helped to punctuate the final piece of the mixed-use, 60-acre neighborhood along the Hudson River, which Hartz has developed over 40 years to transform what was an industrial railyard.
“The completion of The Reserve at Estuary represents the fulfillment of our long-term vision for Lincoln Harbor and caps off a transformative period of growth,” said Gus Milano, the firm’s president and chief operating officer. “The community’s swift leasing momentum underscores the strong demand for elevated rental living along New Jersey’s Gold Coast — where open space, premium amenities and iconic Manhattan views come together to offer an unparalleled lifestyle. We’re proud to welcome residents home.”

Designed by MHS Architecture, The Reserve at Estuary spans an entire city block with a mix of floorplans ranging from studios to two-bedroom-plus-den units. Greystar oversees leasing and management at the property, where monthly rents start from $3,300.
Amenities, meantime, span nearly 40,000 square feet and include a resort-style swimming pool, hot tub and sundeck, along with a fitness center, a game room and a coworking lounge. The building also has a rooftop entertainment lounge and a demonstration kitchen.
Hartz will also soon welcome Alessio’s Cafe on the ground floor, bringing a beloved local favorite to the community, according to a news release. The 2,200-square-foot space will have indoor and outdoor seating for residents and visitors, with a menu reflecting its popular Hoboken and Jersey City locations with breakfast sandwiches, pastries, paninis, pizza, salads, pasta and coffee made with high-quality ingredients, all imported from Italy.
Other amenities in Lincoln Harbor include the 18.5-mile Hudson River Waterfront Walkway that connects the George Washington Bridge to Hoboken, Liberty State Park in Jersey City and Bayonne, according to a news release. Residents also benefit from a host of mass transit options including the NY Waterway ferry to Manhattan, an on-site NJ Transit bus stop and the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, as well as the nearby Lincoln Tunnel.
Hartz noted that Lincoln Harbor has evolved from a business and dining district to a complete live-work-stay-play neighborhood with high-end apartments and popular restaurants such as Drift, Blu on the Hudson, Chart House and Ruth’s Chris Steak House, along with the Sheraton Lincoln Harbor Hotel and an expansive public park system that includes a dog park, the 400-foot Weehawken Pier and Lincoln Harbor Park.
