72 York Street Tops Out in Jersey City, New Jersey

Construction has topped out on 72 York Street, an 11-story residential building in Jersey City‘s Paulus Hook Historic District. Designed by MVMK, the structure will yield 14 condominiums ranging from 800-square-foot one-bedroom units to 2,100-square-foot three-bedroom homes, as well as 880 square feet of ground-floor commercial space. Residential amenities include private storage space for each unit. The property is located by the corner of York and Greene Streets, directly to the east of Jersey City’s main post office.

Recent photos show the reinforced concrete superstructure reaching its pinnacle, with black netting and metal scaffolding covering the wider western elevation. Balconies on the slim northern wall are visible. Curtain wall installation should commence in the coming weeks.

The renderings show a uniform grid of floor-to-ceiling windows surrounded by beige cast stone and bronze metal paneling that evenly wraps around the building up to the flat roof parapet. A setback is found at the very top, making way for a private landscaped rooftop deck facing south.

The PATH train can be accessed by walking north to the Exchange Place station along the Hudson River waterfront. The Paulus Hook ferry terminal is also located nearby to the east.

Work on 72 York Street is estimated to be finished closer to the end of the year or early 2023 at the latest.
