Garden Communities: The Jefferson in Hackensack, N.J., Near Lease-Up
Residents Drawn by Amenity-Rich Lifestyle, Uptown Address
HACKENSACK, N.J. (July 22, 2024) – The third and final phase of The Jefferson in Uptown Hackensack has achieved full lease-up, according to developer Garden Communities. One of the largest new-construction offerings in its revitalized city, the community includes 377 luxury rental residences featuring oversized layouts, resort-style indoor and outdoor amenities, and a commuter-friendly address with a host of neighborhood conveniences.
The Jefferson currently offers limited availability overall, with minimal turnover as leases in the first two phases begin to reach term.
“This simply is an outstanding location – close to all major highways, trains and buses to New York City,” said Garden Communities’ Tammy Male, regional director, noting the property’s abundance of gated onsite parking has been a real draw. “But beyond the practical, The Jefferson has a true community atmosphere – it’s a very happy building. You enter and are greeted by our concierge team, and at any given time you will see staff members working to keep the building immaculate and helping residents with anything they need.”
Garden Communities’ amenities choices for The Jefferson have been a huge success. “They are in constant use; our abundant fitness center, regulation-size bowling alley and golf simulator are really popular,” Male said. “There are always people in our complementary coffee bar to start the day, and relaxing or reading in quiet nooks throughout the building. With summer in full swing, I love walking by and seeing residents out swimming, sunbathing and grilling – and getting together after work or on weekends by the firepits to hang out. It’s the comfort of home.”
The family- and pet-friendly community also includes a children’s playroom and dog park. According to Male, The Jefferson’s reservation-only entertainment lounge with billiards and a kitchen has accommodated birthdays, graduations, sports viewing parties and many private celebrations.
Located at 2 Kinderkamack Road, The Jefferson was designed by Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners. The community’s elegance is punctuated by a welcoming double-height lobby with a fireplace. Residents of its modern one- and two-bedroom apartments enjoy oversize windows, dramatic living spaces, gourmet center-island kitchens, private balconies in almost every apartment, and an array of high-end features.
“We had a tremendous response to our marketing,” said Laura Kosik, public relations and marketing executive for Garden Communities. “In a highly competitive market, The Jefferson attracted renters from all over Bergen County, not just for its resort-style amenities, but because of its incredibly desirable location in uptown Hackensack. Literally just minutes from multiple transit options, The Jefferson was clearly the right product in the right place.”
Monthly rents at The Jefferson start from $2,790, with limited-time incentives. For more information, visit TheJeffersonNJ.com or call 551-291-2676.
Uptown Living in a Revitalized Urban Location
In addition to its enviable address – moments away from the NJ Transit New Bridge Landing-River Edge train station, one-quarter mile from Route 4 and just seven miles from Manhattan – The Jefferson offers abundant neighborhood amenities. Highlights include Shops at Riverside, Restaurant Row, Whole Foods and Hackensack Brewing. The community is just minutes from regional shopping, parks, academic institutions and medical services.
The Jefferson is a flagship property for both Garden Communities and the emerging Uptown Hackensack neighborhood. “Hackensack continues to evolve, and redevelopment efforts here have furthered the appeal of this historic community’s vibrant, eclectic environment,” noted Garden Communities’ Scott Loventhal, managing director. “By virtue of its location and quality, The Jefferson is an extension of the city’s remarkable renaissance and has set a cornerstone for future development.”
The Jefferson has established itself as a good neighbor as well. With Garden Communities, it has supported local arts and culture, the development of green spaces, and multiple community events since its opening.
