History meets modernity at Edge Adams Lofts in Uptown Hoboken; leasing launches at Bijou Properties' 34-unit rental building

Edge Adams rises at the corner of 14th and Adams Streets in the burgeoning Uptown Hoboken district, where an urbane, family-friendly neighborhood rapidly advances upon a retreating no-mans-land of parking lots and warehouses. Both individual buildings and the general streetscape draw inspiration from the old North End to the east, where brownstones, bay-windowed walkups, and sidewalk-embracing shops and restaurants line leafy streets.

Similarly, Edge Adams mediates tradition with modernity. The light gray facade at the ground floor frames a red-brick mid-section between a similarly-colored cornice at the top, in a classic tripartite base-shaft-capital manner. Otherwise, the minimalist design eschews ornament in favor of subtle historicist touches, such as textured, red and grey tapestry brick, and black metal window trim that echoes the ornate lampposts outside. Large, square windows stretch nearly from the floor to the 11-foot-high ceiling, and allow ample sunlight into the apartments, which range from 758 to 1,232 square feet.

Like their developer partner, MHS Architects rank as veterans of North Jersey real estate, having crafted designs for a score of mixed-use properties along New Jersey’s Hudson River “Gold Coast” and elsewhere in the NY metro area. The architect webpage features a dynamic video that situates the project within Hoboken’s growing cityscape. The development team anticipates the building’s environmentally-friendly features to garner a LEED Platinum certificate from the US Green Building Council.

Edge Adams offers an onsite leasing center, with a fully-furnished model apartment. Rental prices start at $2,960, with a limited-time offer of one free month on a 13-month lease. Immediate occupancy is available.
