Leasing has begun at Edge Adams Lofts at 1405 Adams Street in Hoboken, NJ, a brand-new, six-story rental property with 34 one- and two-bedroom units. Developer Bijou Properties teamed up with Marchetto Higgins Architects (aka MHS Architects) to produce a project that combines the city’s historic aesthetic with modern-minded minimalism, light-filled residences, and cutting-edge amenities.

 

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.

The 14th Street Viaduct, which lets locals walk, drive, or bike to Union City atop the scenic Palisades to the west, was rebuilt in 2014 with clean-cut concrete columns, red-brick trim and coffer niches, cobblestone side streets, and dramatic nighttime illumination. Athletic fields, playgrounds, and a dog walk comprise the eponymous Viaduct Park beneath.

 

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.

Stone, metal, and wooden panels soften the slanted geometries of the residential lobby, extending the texture-reliant design approach into the interior.

Locally-based Bijou Properties has pioneered Hoboken's development renaissance over the past decade, with projects such as Edge Clinton at 1405 Clinton Street two blocks to the east. Edge Adams boasts trappings such as oak flooring, Caeserstone kitchen counters, tiled baths with Moen fixtures, and terraces in select apartments.

Communal amenities include a fitness center, a lounge, a co-working space, a play area, a 2,500-square-foot amenity terrace with grilling stations, an automated parking garage, and indoor bike storage.

 

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.
