Nine on the Hudson, 9 Avenue At Port Imperial: Review and Ratings

Review of 9 Avenue At Port Imperial by Carter Horsley

This handsome, large, U-shaped project on the Hudson River at 9 Avenue at Port Imperial in West New York was scheduled to be completed in 2018 by Hovnanian Homes and contains 278 condominium apartments.

It was designed by Marchetto Higgins Stieve.

It is next to the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway and within walking distance to the Port Imperial Ferry Terminal.

Bottom Line

A chunky but quite impressive, U-shaped, large condominium apartment project at Port Imperial on the Hudson River with some angled apartment layouts with corner windows and balconies and many amenities.

Description

The 13-story complex has white façades except for the lower two floors of the south wing facing the Hudson River, which are block.

The two wings and dramatically different.

Each floor of the south wing above the second story is stepped. Its south façade has five-and-a-half projecting piers that provide corner windows and its top two levels have projecting cornice elements that add to the building’s sculptural quality.

The north wing steps inwards, vertically, towards its courtyard, with many corner windows facing the river.

Amenities

The complex has more than 30,000 square feet of amenities including a 24-hour attended lobby, an infinity-edge pool and hot tub, a roof deck  with a fire pit lounge, a two-level fitness center, a dog grooming area, and a golf simulator.

Apartments
