Sleek new building and large luxury condos are springing up all over Manhattan, but Jacqueline sets new standards for Jersey City. Minervini Vandermark’s sleek design of neutral brick, steel, glass, and cement siding stands only five stories high, yet contains four full-floor condominiums. The project by Fard Development was inspired by Jacqueline Kennedy (h/t Jersey Digs), and the design and interiors live up to its namesake’s impeccable sense of style.
A private elevator opens directly into each unit, greeting the owner with abundant natural light and sleek, minimalist décor. All apartments feature floor-to-ceiling windows, superior sound-proofing, LED lighting, Nest thermostats, and private terraces. The kitchens feature flush-fit cabinetry, white stone countertops, and high-end appliances by Miele and Fisher & Paykel. Marble master baths have recessed Grohe rain shower head, heated floors, and “his and hers” sinks.
The penthouse has already sold, and a three-bedroom home has entered contract. A 1,200-square-foot two-bedroom, two-bath remains for $1.15 million, and a 1,311-square-foot three-bedroom, two-bath is listed for $1.299 million. Compared to the median two-bedroom prices of $2.495 million in Manhattan and $1.395 million in Brooklyn (see CityRealty listings), Jacqueline offers excellent value for luxury homes.
Each residence comes with a ground-floor storage space and a parking place in Jacqueline’s high-tech hydraulic parking system. Best of all is each unit’s private roof deck space overlooking sweeping city views. Jacqueline is located on a quiet residential block, but the shopping and dining of Newark Avenue are a short walk away. The nearby Grove Street PATH station allows for 24-hour Manhattan transportation.
