The new properties are all rising on former industrial and vacant sites concentrated around the light rail. “We’re creating more residen- tial and neighborhood retail, not replacing what’s existing,” said Alpine Residential manag- ing partner Bill Rosato of the partnership’s commitment to

the community, which already includes several completed resi- dential buildings, with more in the pipeline. “270 Johnston is a key part of a series of de- velopments that are helping to enhance the urban lifestyle afforded to residents in this neighborhood. We’re excited to be a part of the growth of Bergen-Lafayette and look for- ward to continued investment in the community.” Designed by Hoboken-based MHS Architecture , with interiors from GRT Architec- ture , 270 Johnston will serve as a new landmark that will amplify Jersey City’s growing skyline west of the waterfront. The building’s design draws inspiration from the post-in- dustrial roots of the Bergen- Lafayette neighborhood while also engaging with the Jersey City waterfront and the NYC skyline. MAREJ
