51 Garden Street Location Map

Overview of Observer Park at 51 Garden Street

Observer Park is a 12 story, 115 apartment rental at 51 Garden Street in downtown Hoboken. The project began in 1986 as part of a larger venture with Hartz Mountain Industries, but community opposition to its scale and the need to remove mercury from the site delayed construction. Completed in 1989, the orange brick post-war building was developed by Applied Companies and designed by Becher & Wolcynzki; 20 percent of its apartments are designated affordable housing.

Apartment layouts commonly place an entry foyer beside an enclosed kitchen, leading to a combined living and dining room. Its outlooks include city and river views, and the floor plans are generally spacious.

The building has a roof terrace, landscaped courtyard garden, fitness center, central air conditioning, laundry room, garage, and full time doorman. It is pet friendly and has a live-in superintendent. Washington Street is one block away, while the Hoboken PATH station, served by trains to 33rd Street and World Trade Center, is two blocks from the building.
