A joint venture led by the NRP Group has completed a new 401-unit luxury apartment property in Jersey City’s acclaimed Port Liberté neighborhood.
The multifamily builder and its partners, G&S Investors and Rockwood Capital, say leasing is underway at the five-story complex known as Oliver on the Hudson. The firms are also welcoming the first residents to the collection of studios and one-, two- and three-bedroom homes, at 190 Chapel Ave., where renters are steps from the Hudson River and a 15-minute ferry ride from Manhattan.
“It is no secret that Jersey City has arrived as the premier regional destination for renters seeking luxury, connectivity and lifestyle,” said Jonathan Gertman, senior vice president of development at the NRP Group. “We are proud to be a part of Jersey City’s story by delivering this vibrant waterfront community near public transit to working professionals and families in Port Liberté. Oliver on the Hudson delivers thoughtfully curated amenities and seamless access to the waterfront and Manhattan. Oliver reflects the future of urban living in one of the region’s most dynamic markets.”
Designed by KTGY Architecture and Planning, with Bergmeyer overseeing interior design, the property has two expansive interior courtyards, one of which features a hotel-style pool with a cabana house, according to a news release. There’s also a fifth-floor sky lounge with an outdoor terrace, which provides unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline, while residents have access to a clubhouse with a multilevel fitness center, mezzanine yoga and cardio studios and an interactive activity zone.
Other features include a catering kitchen with a private dining room, coworking spaces and a 24/7 package concierge system, as well as a 602-space parking garage, 201 bicycle parking spots, a commuter lounge and secure bike storage. Additionally, residents have quick access to the Port Liberté Ferry Terminal, two Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stations and Interstate 78, while the 2.7-acre property sits alongside Liberty National Golf Course and includes bike-friendly paths and landscaped green spaces that connect to the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway.
Financing for the project includes senior construction loans from Citizens and Fifth Third Bank, with Rockwood Capital providing joint venture equity.
“Oliver on the Hudson presented an opportunity to meaningfully contribute to one of the region’s most dynamic residential corridors,” said Abe Naparstek, partner at G&S Investors. “We leveraged our expertise to integrate top-tier design and an exceptional resident experience into a vibrant transit-oriented community. From site selection through lease-up, this community reflects both the character of Port Liberté and the expectations of today’s renters.”
