Interior and exterior construction is speeding along at New Jersey’s tallest building, 99 Hudson, with its iconic Perkins Eastman-designed glass and limestone façade completed late last year, setting the stage for closings to commence this spring at the 79-story luxury condominium building in Downtown Jersey City, N.J.

The progress reflected a noteworthy 2019 at the building, which also included a superheated sales pace that netted more than 100 contracts, according to developer COA 99 Hudson, LLC and The Marketing Directors, the building’s exclusive marketing and sales agent.

99 Hudson hit another market milestone in early 2020 with an impressive 21 contracts recorded in January.

“Achieving this level of sales velocity during a pre-construction period is a testament to 99 Hudson’s widespread appeal to discerning buyers from both sides of the Hudson River and beyond,” said Xiaocheng Zhou, President of COA.  “The building’s extraordinary residences, exclusive amenities, breathtaking views and compelling value are paired with a downtown Jersey City location that offers every lifestyle element one looks for in a convenient and culturally-rich destination.” 

Sales at 99 Hudson have run the full spectrum of the luxury property’s well-appointed floor plans, from studios to two white box Penthouse homes that sold for $3.9 and $4.3 million.  Current prices range from $500,000 to over $4,000,000 for homes offering up to 2,500 square feet of living space, including a limited number of expansive, top-floor Penthouse residences.  Select homes offer balconies.

Residences feature open layouts with floor-to-ceilings windows that bathe the homes in natural light and frame dramatic vistas of the Manhattan skyline, World Trade Center, New York Harbor and Statue of Liberty.  Stylish finishes include oak flooring, kitchens with quartz stone countertops, stainless steel Kohler fixtures and a premium suite of Bosch appliances; and spa-like master bathrooms with custom millwork and Italian ceramic statuario flooring and wall tiles.  All cabinetry throughout these elegant homes has been imported from Italy.  Each residence will also have a Bosch washer and dryer.

Enhancing residents’ lives will be 65,000 square feet of world-class indoor and outdoor amenities which begin with a dramatic and welcoming triple height lobby with Jura limestone, a grand chandelier, stunning onyx feature wall and private, off-street porte-cochere providing secure access by car or foot. 

Inside, health and wellness will be fostered by a state-of-the-art 3,800 square-foot Fitness Center and dedicated yoga and Pilates studio.  Social interaction and a communal vibe will be created by a game room with card rooms and pool and foosball tables, golf simulator, screening room with bar, children’s playroom, demonstration kitchen, and work café. The 99 Hudson Club Room will feature a library, flat screen TV, and lounging, dining and entertaining spaces. There’s also a 24-hour concierge.

Outside, a resort-style lifestyle awaits on the 8th floor amenity deck which will boast an 80 by 50-foot swimming pool, cabanas for lounging, indoor and outdoor lounge and dining area with BBQ grills, playground, dog run and landscaped green lawn.  99 Hudson will also offer an exclusive, residents-only spa with hot tub, wet and dry lounges, steam room, dry sauna, showers, spa terrace and private massages.  An impressive 7,500 square feet has been dedicated to open space and pedestrian plazas. 

“The market has spoken, making 99 Hudson arguably the best-selling condominium building in the region,” said Jaqueline Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors.  “We expect buyer excitement and sales momentum to increase in the coming months as we move into the building, unveil designer model homes and welcome our first homeowners.”

Standing directly across the Hudson River from the World Trade Center, 99 Hudson boasts a prime location at the intersection of Hudson and Greene Streets, just steps from the Exchange Place PATH station which whisks commuters to business and entertainment centers in midtown Manhattan and New York’s Financial District.  NY Waterway ferries provide service to the 39th Street and Battery Park City terminals.  Also, right outside the front door is the Exchange Place Light Rail station which provides direct access to other “Gold Coast” locales.

Downtown Jersey City has fast made a name for itself in the New York Metropolitan social, arts and cultural scene and is bustling with shopping and entertainment venues. 99 Hudson lies a short walk from the pedestrian-friendly Newark Avenue -- a hotbed of dining and nightlight. Residents also have direct access to 1,500 acres of waterfront park and 19 miles of Hudson River biking and jogging pathways.
