Façade installation is nearing completion on Waterside at Xchange, a 25-story residential building in Secaucus, New Jersey. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by Fraternity Meadows, the 250,000-square-foot structure is also known as Building G in the 60-acre Xchange at Secaucus Junction complex and will yield 403 residences next to a four-story parking garage. Waterside at Xchange is the tallest component in the 1,538-unit transit-oriented master plan, and is located on a formerly undeveloped plot of land between the Hackensack River and Brianna Lane.
Nearly all of the reflective floor-to-ceiling glass panels, which were supplied by Northern Architectural Systems, have been put in place since our last update in late May, when the upper floors of the L-shaped reinforced concrete superstructure had yet to be fully enclosed. The curtain wall features various shades of blue-tinted glass broken up by pairs of parallel vertical spandrels. Only a small section has yet to be enclosed around the setback, where an outdoor terrace will be located.

The podium is clad in a mix of white and dark gray paneling and features recessed and corner balconies lined with glass railings. Several stacks of balconies are positioned around the pocketed corner of the western profile, and the structure is capped with mechanical equipment and low-rise bulkheads at the locations of the egress cores.

A list of residential amenities has yet to be revealed. The Xchange at Secaucus Junction complex offers shuttle service to the nearby Secaucus Junction New Jersey Transit train station, which is just one stop from Penn Station.
Construction is anticipated to be finished sometime next year.

It’s the biggest in this area, because there are no other buildings tall enough to compare with. I can see all around on the L-shaped reinforced concrete superstructure, highlights of the view is glass broken up that cause construction to my most-liked: Thanks to Michael Young.
