K. Hovnanian has launched sales at a new 278-unit luxury condominium building along the Hudson River, with homes ranging from $600,000 to $6 million.
The 13-story property, known as Nine on the Hudson, is under construction within the West New York section of the sprawling Port Imperial development. Along with high-end interiors and a long list of amenities, K. Hovnanian touted the building’s tiered design, which it says provides more corner views of the New York City skyline than a conventional vertical structure.
“My grandfather, Kevork Hovnanian, believed in building superior homes and that’s what we’re doing at Nine on the Hudson,” said Alexander Hovnanian, area president for K. Hovnanian at Port Imperial Urban Renewal VI LLC. “Homebuyers have the opportunity to live in not only a luxurious development, however one that emphasizes resort-style living via an unparalleled amenities package, expansive residences and high-end finishes.”
Nine on the Hudson was designed by Marchetto Higgins Stieve Architects, while Childs Dreyfus Group consulted on the interiors, K. Hovnanian said in a news release. Most homes in the building also include floor-to-ceiling windows and direct access to private balconies.
The developer also said residents will have access to nearly 32,000 square feet of amenity spaces, including an infinity-edge pool and hot tub overlooking Manhattan, a two-story fitness center, fire pits and outdoor lounge. The building is within walking distance to the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal.
Units range from 773-square-foot one-bedroom homes to 2,580-square-foot-three-bedroom homes, the news release said. Due to a 20-year tax abatement program, buyers at Nine on the Hudson will pay a 1.1 percent property tax rate for the first 10 years, with gradual increases during the remaining 10.
“Nine on the Hudson has attracted buyers from as close as a few buildings away to as far as California,” Alexander said. “Our sales team is witnessing growing interest from buyers in New York City, especially those who work or will work in the far West Side and Hudson Yards, due to the 25-minute ferry commute. We are also seeing residents understand the benefit of our unique 20-year tax abatement.”
