Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, City Council President Joyce Watterman and Ward A Councilwomen Denise Ridley joined principals from Alpine Residential and Fields Grade to celebrate the completion of Atlas, a 24-story, 169-unit building located at 270 Johnston St., the tallest building in the Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood. The event also highlighted Starling, a boutique collection of 39 luxury residences at 66 Monitor St., developed by the same partners.
“I visited this project a couple months ago and, right away, I was amazed by the views here and the potential for this part of Jersey City. … Anybody that drives by these buildings would say it is a huge asset and benefit for this entire community. … Think about what changes have happened underneath us in this Bergen-Lafayette area. You see more coffee shops or restaurants or people on the streets that didn’t exist four or five years ago. … Thank you to Alpine Residential and Fields Grade and the entire team for their limitless commitment and dedication to this city,” Fulop said.
Atlas and Starling are key components of the Bergen Lafayette Collection, a series of mixed-use properties from Alpine Residential and Fields Grade that are infusing new energy into the neighborhood.
The collection will ultimately feature nearly 1,000 apartments across five mixed-use buildings. In addition to offering stylish living spaces and dynamic amenities, these buildings have introduced a vibrant array of community-focused dining and retail options, including the acclaimed Roxy restaurant, Eggs Up breakfast café, premium Japanese donut and bubble tea shop MochiDough/BoberTea, and Cheeky’s “New Orleans-style” sandwiches.
“Our commitment to Bergen-Lafayette began in 2018, when we recognized the neighborhood’s untapped potential as a hidden residential gem,” William Rosato, managing partner of Alpine Residential, said. “With the introduction of Atlas and Starling, we now have five thriving rental properties in our Bergen-Lafayette portfolio, complemented by an exciting mix of retailers. None of this would have been possible without the leadership of Mayor Fulop and his administration, who have championed development in emerging neighborhoods west of the waterfront like Bergen-Lafayette.”
“We are grateful to have Mayor Fulop join us today in celebrating this special occasion,” Rob Caulfield, a principal at Jersey City-based Fields Grade, said. “Bergen-Lafayette has all the essential elements of a desirable residential neighborhood, new homes, retail, excellent access to downtown Jersey City and nearby open spaces like Liberty State Park. The success of Atlas and Starling clearly shows that residents have embraced the urban lifestyle experience we are offering here.”
South Oxford Management, Alpine’s affiliated management company, is directing the leasing and management of the Bergen Lafayette Collection.
