First residents arrive at the Devan luxury rental in Jersey City

The Devan has officially announced itself as the premier high-end rental property on Jersey City’s Hoboken border with the arrival of the first residents at the striking eight-story building.

The initial renters have immediately begun to immerse themselves into a dynamic live/work/play lifestyle that’s been created by the building’s blend of oversized homes, robust amenity package and inspiring connection to two of northern New Jersey’s most dynamic urban centers.

Developed by Fields Grade and Ursa Development Group, the 336-unit residential building offers a mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom residences start at net effective monthly rents from $2,816.  The collection of homes is being offered with limited-time grand opening incentives.

“The Devan offers a creative new take on the luxury rental experience with a focus on design and communal spaces that encourage social involvement and interaction,” Rob Giannone, director of development for Fields Grade, said. “With renters now moving in, the building has quickly come to life and a synergy between the homes, amenities and location is on full display.”

“The start of occupancy is an important milestone at The Devan and completes our vision of delivering a keystone rental building to Jersey City’s Hoboken border,” Suzanne Sciarra of Ursa Development Group LLC, said.  “It’s exciting to see residents embrace this vibrant building and fully enjoy all of its offerings.”

The sophisticated and activity-rich lifestyle at The Devan is fueled by a host of amenities that includes active and passive courtyards on the building’s second floor, where a pool, sundeck, lounge seating, grilling areas and fire pits provide the perfect setting for relaxation. For elevated enjoyment, residents can enjoy a spectacular rooftop with additional lounge seating and grilling areas, as well as the Sky Lounge, which offers a demonstration kitchen, rentable private rooms and a terrace with views of the Manhattan skyline.

Inside, residents have access to a flexible media space, state-of-the-art fitness center with a dedicated yoga and meditation studio, recreation and poker room, playroom, and a dog run and wash area.  There’s also endless work-from-anywhere options including individual co-working and group conference spaces, and a community hub with a resident’s lounge, library and meeting spaces.

There’s also a hospitality-inspired covered driveway and drop-off area, a welcoming lobby with a 24/7 doorman, a package system by Position Imaging, a secondary lobby for pedestrian access to Hoboken, an enclosed parking garage with EV charging stations and bicycle areas, rentable scooters, and a Grab-N-Go Room offering home essentials and healthy treats from Tulu and Farmer’s Fridge.

Designed by Minno + Wasko Architects and Planners, with interiors by Factioned, The Devan prioritizes comfort and functionality. The large-scale building is mirrored by generously sized apartments in comparison to the typical Hoboken or Jersey City building. The residences offer plank floors, kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances and countertops, in-home GE washer/dryer units, roller shades and modular closets. Select homes feature outdoor terraces.

Conveniently located at 3 New York Avenue, The Devan provides easy access to the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, NJ Transit and the PATH — with complimentary shuttle service to the Hoboken Terminal further streamlining commutes to New York City and neighboring Gold Coast towns.

The Devan joins a vibrant neighborhood on the rise in a once industrial section of Jersey City, just west of the Holland Tunnel. Significant public and private investment has transformed the area with new residential, retail, and public space offerings. Residents also have easy access to popular bars and restaurants, including Low Fidelity, Bread and Salt, Corto, Northern Soul and The Alps.

Located in close proximity to Southwest Park in Hoboken, which features outdoor recreational space, including open lawns and seating for concerts and events, as well as a one-acre dog park, the community offers an abundance of health and wellness options, including miles of cycling paths and nearby Pickleball and basketball courts, as well as easy access to CrossFit Hoboken.
