One can’t miss the architecturally significant brick facade of the newest building in the Hamilton Park historic district of Jersey City. The nearly complete building, named Swift & Co., has a modern yet striking facade pushing the envelope of design, while creating spacious apartments, retail shops and offices.
The latest development from Jersey City-based SILVERMAN is a nine-story mixed-use building one block from Hamilton Park. SILVERMAN began spearheading Hamilton Park’s transformation into a lively community neighborhood in 2005 with the redevelopment of two city blocks bringing many new restaurants, shops, schools and businesses to the area. The opening of Swift & Co. marks a continuation of the company’s redevelopment plans.
Swift & Co. offers studio, one, two and three-bedroom residences for rent, most with terraces and sweeping views.
SILVERMAN looked to the neighborhood’s history, along with help from the Jersey City Public Library, for inspiration naming the building. In 1885, Swift & Co. stables occupied the space at 220 Ninth Street until the 1940s. Beyond the name, the Jersey City Public Library’s historic maps collection influenced the color palette and typographic style.
Swift & Co. presents a contemporary counterpoint to the neighborhood’s 19th century architecture yet draws on its historical industrial past with a cutting edge design by STUDIO V Architecture. A sleek form with an elegant brick design in varied textures establishes itself within the neighborhood context.
Inspired by biophilic and 20th-century Italian modern design, the Swift & Co. interiors seek to add to our connection with nature, by selecting thoughtful and inspirational materials. The sleek and striking lobby features sustainable materials including Italian marble terrazzo and a massive, eye-catching sculptural concierge desk carved from a naturally fallen acacia tree bringing us back to the forest.
The lobby features orange mailboxes, inspired by the unique red-orange hue of the feathers of northern flickers frequently spotted in Hamilton Park. ANDlight Pebble LED lighting above the mailboxes echo the pebble shapes found in the terrazzo marble floor.
Swift & Co. offers a calming escape from city life and cultivates a working and living community unlike anything else in Jersey City. Residents enjoy access to multiple shared outdoor terraces, health club membership including an indoor lap pool, and an activity-based contemporary rooftop lounge with views of the Manhattan skyline. In the base of the building SILVERMAN will open Allo co-working, with an emphasis on health and wellness, related to their popular Andco space.
Swift & Co.’s apartment homes have a modern aesthetic with key elements adding warmth and spaciousness. Floor-to-ceiling windows and cove lighting create great light and air, while multiple lighting systems and dimmers create ideal ambiance and comfort.
Kitchens feature stylish cabinetry, glazed ceramic tile, Miseno cabinet hardware, and stainless steel appliances. Bathroom palettes use earth tones, sand beige, and deep ocean blue for a sense of serenity. Many apartments feature a washer & dryer and walk-in closets.
Interiors and creative direction by Rebecca Johnson of Swimclub Studio with Architect Marie Tedrick, staging by Sydelle Reed of Sydelle Interiors. Art, textiles, and furniture are from independent artists and designers including Rosie Li, Brit Kleinman of Avo Studio, ZZ Driggs, and Deep Space Gallery.
