99 Hudson Street is now more than halfway up as of early March 2018 (CityRealty)
As you probably already know, Jersey City’s 99 Hudson Street is set to be the tallest building in New Jersey and according to data from the Skyscraper Center, if finished today, the 79-story, 887-foot tower would be the tallest residential building in the country outside of Manhattan and Chicago. The condominium venture is being pushed skyward by China Overseas America, Inc. (COA), their first residential endeavor in the United States. Inside will be 781 residences heightened by sensational views of the New York skyline and an all-encompassing amenity package spanning an acre-and-a-half.

To learn more about the landmark development, we swung by the sales office which conveniently overlooks the construction site and showcases the postcard-perfect views of Manhattan. The sales team reports the building is now more than half-way up with roughly 35 floors left to go. As we previously summed up, the building’s one- to three-bedroom condos are priced at an average $1,400 a square foot — an incredible bargain compared to comparative spreads across the Hudson. The project also stands apart from peer NYC condos in terms of the size of its amenity package: a whopping 65,000 square feet of carefully curated spaces for relaxation, socializing, and recreation. Below is a run-down of the common perks buyers in the building will be able to enjoy.

Said to echo Manhattan's great Art Deco towers of the 20s and 30s such as 30 Rockefeller Plaza, the streamlined design was conceived by Perkins Eastman. Oriented to provide residents the best views, the architects specified a V-shaped floorplate with cutaway corners. The tower will be enclosed in a robust façade of Jura limestone from Bavaria and floor-to-ceiling windows.
Steps from Jersey City’s waterfront promenade, 99 Hudson spans a full block bounded by Hudson, Grand, Greene and York streets. Drivers can enter a private mid-block porte-cochere. Ample parking is provided within a 7-story, 681-space parking garage with designated spaces to condo purchasers.
The double-height lobby welcomes residents and conveys the world-class product to unfold. Aside from the full-time doorman, valet, and concierge, the building has seven elevators to keep wait times to a minimum.

Besides guaranteeing captivating views of the skyline and New York Harbor, the building’s supreme location provides easy, one-stop commutes into Manhattan via the PATH train or the New York Waterway ferry. Residences offer open layouts, large closets, central air and washer/dryer bundles. There will also be wide-plank oak floors, top-of-the-line appliances in kitchens, and baths with quartz stone countertops and porcelain tiles. Delivery is anticipated in 2019.
