A new take on contemporary city living has arrived in Journal Square with Casa One, a striking new rental tower designed around the way residents live, work, unwind, and connect. Light-filled homes, considered interiors, and an extensive collection of lifestyle amenities come together in a setting that feels polished yet approachable. Presented by Team Moza of Prominent Properties Sotheby’s International Realty, the first phase of Casa One’s residences is now available for lease, with limited-time incentives currently being offered.
Developed by Manchanda Group, Casa One reflects the firm’s approach to creating projects that feel relevant to contemporary life while bringing lasting value to the neighborhoods they become part of. The building encompasses 196 residences spanning studios, one-bedrooms, one-bedroom-plus-dens, and three-bedroom homes. Expansive floor plans and abundant natural light set the tone, complemented by soothing color palettes and clean, timeless finishes that lend the interiors an understated sense of sophistication. Everyday functionality is woven into the design as well, with in-unit washers and dryers and ample storage helping each residence feel as practical as it is inviting.
Open-concept living and dining areas are generously proportioned for both everyday routines and entertaining, with oversized windows drawing in natural light and framing views across Jersey City. Select one-bedroom residences incorporate a flexible den that can transition from home office to additional living space, while the studios offer enough room to establish distinct sleeping and living zones. In the kitchens, two-tone cabinetry and tiled backsplashes lend a contemporary edge to stainless-steel appliances and generous counter space, with breakfast bars incorporated into select layouts.
Bedrooms at Casa One offer light, simplicity, and functionality. Built-in and walk-in closets are available across various layouts, providing plentiful storage without compromising the rooms’ airy feel. Bathrooms pair streamlined vanities with contemporary tilework, complemented by either tub-and-shower combinations or spacious showers depending on the residence.
The emphasis on thoughtful details and spaces that extend beyond the individual residence reflects Manchanda Group’s broader approach to development. Founded by Kabir Manchanda, who brings more than two decades of real estate experience to the firm, the company’s portfolio includes Jersey City projects at 96 Cottage Street, 2995 JFK Boulevard, and 115 Giles Avenue.
“When we envisioned Casa One, we didn’t want to create just another rental building,” said Kabir. “We wanted to think more thoughtfully about what makes a residence feel like home — generous living spaces, considered design, quality finishes, wellness, and spaces that naturally bring people together.”
That attention to how residents spend their time carries through Casa One’s amenity collection, which balances opportunities to recharge, create, and connect. Craft and maker spaces offer an outlet for hands-on pursuits, while the rooftop brings recreation into the open air. Here, a swimming pool, barbecue stations, and dog run unfold against expansive views of Jersey City, creating a lively backdrop for sunny afternoons, casual dinners, and time spent with friends and neighbors.
Health and fitness have their own dedicated spaces, including a state-of-the-art fitness center and yoga room suited to everything from an energetic workout to a slower-paced practice. Elsewhere, resident lounges offer a change of scenery without leaving the building, and conference rooms make it easy to take meetings or focus on the workday. Downstairs, a 24-hour attended lobby and on-site coffee shop add to the ease of coming and going, while a private shuttle to the PATH station streamlines trips into New York City and beyond.
Casa One’s location at 166 Van Reipen Avenue places residents within the evolving landscape of Journal Square, where historic streetscapes and longtime neighborhood institutions sit alongside a growing roster of restaurants, shops, and cultural destinations. Brownstone-lined blocks, restored architecture, and nearby dog-friendly parks offer plenty to explore close to home, while the neighborhood’s arts and entertainment scene brings performances, exhibitions, and events within easy reach.
For Manchanda Group, Casa One is also part of a longer-term commitment to the neighborhood. “Journal Square is undergoing an extraordinary transformation, and we’re proud to be investing in its future,” said Kabir. “With Casa One and our continued investment in the neighborhood, our goal is to contribute to that evolution while raising the standard for thoughtful, design-driven residential living in Jersey City.”
That neighborhood character comes with one of Journal Square’s greatest advantages: connectivity. The nearby PATH station provides direct access to Manhattan and other destinations across the region, while additional transit options make it easy to navigate Jersey City and beyond. For Casa One residents, the result is a home base that offers the energy and convenience of city living without sacrificing a sense of neighborhood.
Casa One offers a range of residences to suit different lifestyles, with studios currently priced from $2,900 to $3,425, one-bedrooms from $3,450 to $3,960, one-bedrooms with a den from $4,225 to $4,525, and three-bedrooms from $7,350 to $7,550. For a limited time, new leases are accompanied by incentives of one month free on a 13-month term or two months free on a 19-month term.
