750-unit state-of-the-art Jersey City waterfront high-rise achieves milestone Veris Residential announces stabilization of Haus25

J ERSEY CITY, NJ — Veris Residential, Inc ., a forward-thinking, envi - ronmentally- and socially- conscious real estate investment trust (REIT) that primarily owns, operates, acquires, and develops class A multifamily properties, announced that it has stabilized Haus25, a 750- unit luxury apartment tower lo - cated in downtown Jersey City. Haus25 received strong de - mand from renters with nearly 150 leases signed during ap - pointment-only previews prior to the launch of general leasing in April 2022. Demand contin - ued to outpace expectations,

enabling the property to sta - bilize in just 10 months (three months ahead of schedule). As of February 22nd, the property was 95.47% leased and nearly 93% occupied. "The rapid stabilization of Haus25 speaks to our commit - ment to building innovative spaces that align with the needs of our residents, employees and the communities we serve while generating value for our share - holders," said Mahbod Nia , chief executive officer of Veris Residential. "Achieving this milestone well before anticipat - ed, is a testament to Veris Resi - dential's experienced team and

investment in environmentally friendly design features and community-centric, responsible, and holistic living concepts that meet the lifestyle preferences of residents." Globally-recognized firm Elkus Manfredi Architects designed the 56-story tower with LEED Silver certification by the U.S. Green Building Council top of mind. The high- rise features interiors by award- winning Fogarty Finger and outdoor space design by land - scape architecture firm Melillo Bauer Carman . These world- class features, coupled with the Veris Residential leasing and marketing team's expertise, enabled the Company to achieve asking rents nearly 14% over initial underwriting. "Over the past 10 months, our Haus25 team has proven its ability to execute on our strategic action plan to success - fully stabilize the property while maximizing rents despite an everchanging market environ - ment," added Jay Minchilli , se - nior vice president of operations and asset management of Veris Residential. "We are thankful for their hard work and look for - ward to building upon this leas - ing momentum in the months and years ahead as a pure-play multifamily REIT."
