JERSEY CITY, NJ, July 2024 – Jersey City’s Overlook Flats has officially unveiled a full suite of outdoor amenities at the striking 16-story property, including one of the most awe-inspiring rooftop pools in Hudson County’s rental market.

A second landscaped rooftop terrace provides firepits and additional picnic areas, as well as a bocce ball court and a pet playground.

“Our elevated site provides crystal clear views of Manhattan and the Jersey City skyline and allowed us to create an incredible outdoor amenity package for residents to enjoy,” said Igor Fantin, Business Manager at Urban Property Managers, the in-house property management arm of the Fantin companies.   “With summer’s arrival and the debut of the pool, visitors can now see firsthand the complete lifestyle offered at Overlook Flats.  A comprehensive look at all this building has to offer has played an important role in the leasing success we’ve experienced with summer’s arrival.”

The outdoor amenities complement a substantial offering of indoor amenities at Overlook Flats, highlighted by a spacious lobby with a double-height lounge and sculptural floating staircase, co-working spaces, a children's playroom with a parent's den, yoga studio, and a modern fitness and training center with interactive equipment for on-demand workouts and separate H.I.I.T. studio.
