A true example of smart growth, these two towers embody 212 residential units, a compact parking garage, a school and retail at street level. The building also totes a LEED Gold certification. The creative, automated parking garage accommodates six levels of parking in a 3-story podium. Above the garage between the towers is a recreation deck. A green roof retains and diverts storm water away from the sewer systems. A composition of black and white brick and large windows create an exciting, modern look. The developer, Bijou Properties, and the city created Garden Street Mews, the first pedestrian plaza in Hoboken by closing the street to vehicles. It is used for a farmer’s market, art shows, and other community events. This unique structure exemplifies a transit-oriented development. WINNER of the 2017 ULI Northern NJ Mixed-Use Project of the Year Award.

88 Regent Street is located on the northern edge of the Liberty Harbor North Redevelopment Area. 88 Regent Street holds a prominent position on the Jersey City skyline and creates an iconic entry into the neighborhood as a signature 32-story tower. This mixed-use multifamily maximizes views of Lower Manhattan by creating setbacks on the upper levels giving each unit a window facing the World Trade Center. The 12-story base matches the height of the adjacent buildings and then the amenity floor sets back to reveal a clear distinction between base and tower.

With incredible views, 88 Regent Street provides an iconic identity for the neighborhood and has become the most desirable place to live in Liberty Harbor North.

The east facade is pulled back featuring an open grillwork of residential balconies with magnificent views of Jersey City and Manhattan skylines. At grade the building transitions from the scale and rhythm of the adjacent two-story masonry townhomes to 24 stories encompassing 169 residential units, roughly 9,000 sf of commercial space, 10 parking spaces, and an impressive panoramic pool deck.

7 Seventy House, a transit-friendly multifamily development in Hoboken, New Jersey, promotes public transit usage while simultaneously furthering the city's environmental, social, and economic sustainability objectives. By integrating stormwater management systems, establishing vibrant public spaces and a pedestrian-friendly plaza, incorporating architectural elements that optimize air and light, and implementing traffic-calming measures, 7 Seventy House fosters a unique sense of place while preserving Hoboken's character and augmenting the overall quality of life.

**Optimizing Redevelopments:** This project would not have been possible without the partnership that was created between Bijou Properties and the City of Hoboken. Through collaboration with the City administration and the Redevelopment Subcommittee, a redevelopment plan was established which allowed the transfer of development rights from the two adjacent parcels (2 & 3) - which are now going to be parks and open space - to the lot which now contains the residential building (1). 

To be specific, Bijou Properties purchased two additional parcels each with its own as-of-right zoning. By transferring the development rights from those additional parcels 2 and 3 to the original parcel 1, Bijou was able to develop the two public parks.  A comprehensive redevelopment agreement, which included tax incentives, was put in place that allowed the public portion of the project to be built without city dollars. This creative deal making couldn’t have happened without intense collaboration and cooperation between the developer and the City.

Nine on the Hudson is a 278-unit luxury condominium multifamily that derives its form from its location at the edge of the Hudson River. The saw-tooth V-form plan is designed to maximize direct views to Manhattan from all of the interior units. The south wing steps down to the river at a precise angle to allow sunlight to the pool deck and provides expansive green terraces with unparalleled Manhattan views.  Nine On the Hudson's distinctive architectural form playfully communicates with BIG’s VIA and Enrique Norten’s Mercedes House on Manhattan’s west side symbolically connecting Nine on the Hudson with its neighbors across the street, or in this case the river.
