On a quiet residential block of Sherman Avenue in Jersey City Heights sits The Windsor, a just-completed, two-unit condominium building clad in a dark gray siding and accented with black trim. The property’s recent history is indicative of the area’s ongoing transformation.
The Heights, a traditionally working-class neighborhood known for its diversity and strong sense of community – much like the Jersey City itself – is in the midst of a real estate bonanza. With the Hoboken and Downtown Jersey City markets hitting record highs quarter-after-quarter, buyers are turning their sights to the Heights in hopes of finding a little more value.
Only a few years ago, the property at 29 Sherman Avenue, was an overgrown, fenced-in vacant lot. CastlePoint REI, the development group behind The Windsor, had the vision to turn the underutilized parcel into modern, upscale housing. Their vision ended up paying off – both units sold pre-completion and at record prices.
The Windsor, however, is just one of CastlePoint’s recent successes. The company was also behind Hutton Place, which we featured back in January, as well as South Street Commons, a boutique four-unit condominium project.
Fresh off these recent successes, CastlePoint is now in the pre-construction phase for their next project. This time at 28 South Street, a prime lot just off Palisade Avenue, and three blocks from the Congress Street Light Rail.
The newest project will bring two buildings, both nearly identical to The Windsor, to the site. The first, dubbed The Dover, is already available for sale pre-construction. The second, called The Warwick, will hit the market in the coming weeks.
Each building will contain two spacious and well-appointed residences behind a similar modern facade. Inside, the residences are outfitted with large chefs kitchens featuring clean, white cabinetry paired with Carrera marble countertops and backsplashes. Porcelanosa-designed bathrooms sport premium tile, sleek floating vanities, and designer fixtures.
The lower residence, a 3 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom duplex, spans 1,265 sq. ft. and is offered at a pre-construction price of $724,900. On its main level is the kitchen, living room as well as the 3 bedrooms. The master suite, fitted with a walk-in closet and balcony occupies the rear of the home. Downstairs, on the ground floor, is large family room and access to the home’s private rear yard.
The second of the two homes is the 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom penthouse. An identical layout to the lower residence’s main level including the same private master suite and balcony, this 1,100 sq. ft. home has the added perk of vaulted ceilings and skylights in the living area, plus a private roof deck. The penthouse asks $699,000.
Both homes come with garage parking, in-unit washer and dryers, and additional storage spaces.
The location is one of the best in the Heights for commuters. You’re 3 blocks from the Light Rail and a block from direct NYC busses. As for neighborhood amenities, The Dover is situated between the more established Central Avenue retail strip and the recently rezoned Palisade Avenue. It’s also almost equidistant from Riverview-Fisk Park and Union City’s sprawling Washington Park.
