The Pier Apartments are a community built
into the water to guarantee the most spectacular views imaginable,
offering New York living with a Manhattan view.
The Pier Apartments is an 8-story, 480,000-SF apartment
complex built on an existing pier in the Hudson River with
two levels of above-grade parking and panoramic views of
lower Manhattan's financial district. The Jersey City project
was constructed on the site of a former railroad loading
pier that projects 900-feet into the river with views of
the Manhattan skyline, up the Hudson River and New York
harbor.
The project required that a new 12” thick, reinforced
concrete slab be constructed approximately 5 feet above
the existing pier to provide a platform for the new building
and access road, also allowing a utility service plenum
underneath.
The development is directly across from lower Manhattan
and adjacent to the Harborside Financial Center and includes
300 luxury rental apartments. It has access to public transportation
and is one of the most unique residential locations in the
country. The modern design employs light-colored
brick, white and silver-colored metal panels and extensive
use of glazing to highlight the views.
