What changes for residents: a 69-story waterfront tower at 201 Hudson Street — to be known as 201 Hudson — by Urby — will add 748 market-rate apartments, roughly 10,000 square feet of retail and 102 parking spaces to the Jersey City waterfront under a joint venture between Boston-based Rockpoint and local developer Urby.
Project details and timeline
The partners announced the deal July 8. The building is the second phase of a three-tower master plan and will feature studio through three-bedroom units, a range of resident amenities and multiple transit connections within a short walk.
- Height and scale: 69 stories.
- Residential units: 748 market-rate apartments.
- Parking and retail: 102 surface parking spaces and about 10,000 square feet of retail space.
- Transit access: near Grove Street and Exchange Place PATH stations, Harborside Ferry terminal, Harborside Light Rail and close to Holland Tunnel and I-78.
Amenities and management
Urby will co-manage construction and oversee property management and leasing in partnership with Rockpoint’s property services affiliate, Rockhill. Planned resident amenities include a resort-style pool with Manhattan views, common rooms, a fitness center, a dog run, a children’s play area and a roof deck. Many units will have skyline and Hudson River sightlines.
“The Jersey City Waterfront continues to distinguish itself as one of the most compelling multifamily submarkets in the New York metro area,” said Dan Domb, a managing member and chief operating officer at Rockpoint.
Local context and implications
The waterfront submarket has been a magnet for multifamily investment, drawing developers who cite strong demographics, public and private investment and fast access to Manhattan. Rockpoint already has holdings on the Jersey City waterfront, including acquisitions in recent years, and Urby has completed the first building in this three-tower plan.
For residents, the project means more housing inventory in a neighborhood with heavy commuter traffic to Manhattan. The development’s proximity to multiple transit options may help some commuters, though added density could affect local traffic and demand for municipal services. The partners say construction and leasing will be handled jointly; the timeline for completion was not specified in the announcement.

The project is part of a broader wave of development reshaping parts of Jersey City’s waterfront. City planning officials and neighborhood groups will likely scrutinize final plans as the project advances through permitting and construction financing.
Further details on the construction schedule, financing arrangements and any affordable-housing components were not disclosed in the announcement.
