HIGH-END CONVENIENCE STORE AND WINE SHOP SIGN LEASE AT OVERLOOK FLATS IN JERSEY CITY’S JOURNAL SQUARE
Overlook Market and Overlook Wine & Spirits Will Occupy 2,882 SF at 16-Story Rental Building Located at 32 Oakland Ave in Jersey City
JERSEY CITY, NJ – Residents of Overlook Flats in Jersey City’s resurgent Journal Square neighborhood will be pleased to find an array of everyday conveniences at their fingertips with the addition of a full-service grocery and convenience store and high-end wine shop at the collection of 297 luxury rental homes.
Overlook Market and Overlook Wine & Spirits have signed a lease to occupy two retail spaces totaling 2,882 square feet at the striking 16-story building located at 32 Oakland Avenue, according to developer Milton Fantin and the Fantin companies (Urban Property Developers and Urban Property Managers). The new retailers will be operated by the same ownership group and are expected to open to the public this year.
Overlook Market will be the third store its ownership has opened in an upscale Jersey City residential building, following in the footsteps of River Mart at 65 Maple Street and Lenox Market at 207 Van Vorst Street. Each location offers a one-of-a-kind experience, stocked with high-end products desired by the community-at-large and tailored to serve an urban customer base that largely consists of apartment dwellers.
Overlook Market will provide immediate access to everything from everyday conveniences, candy and organic snacks to pre-packaged deli meats and much more. Overlook Wine & Spirits will offer a wide selection of premium wines and spirits, as well as domestic and imported beer.
“The owners of Overlook Market have a well-earned reputation in Jersey City for providing high-quality products and meeting the needs of neighborhood residents,” said Igor Fantin, Business Manager at Urban Property Managers, the in-house property management arm of the Fantin companies. “We’re delighted to bring them to Journal Square where they will be a tremendous asset for our residents and the area.”
“We understand that there are a unique set of convenient products those living in apartments need,” added Overlook Market owner Dixit Patel. “We work to establish strong relationships with our customers and listen to their wants and wishes so we can offer a selection of high-end products that provide everything they’re looking for. It’s an approach that’s resulted in great success in our other Jersey City locations. We’re excited to be a part of Overlook Flats and the up-and-coming Journal Square community.”
In addition to Overlook Market and Overlook Wine and Spirits, a third retail space is currently in the process of being leased at Overlook Flats. The retailers will be joining a Journal Square neighborhood that’s experiencing a vibrant resurgence with a wide range of lifestyle activities. The renowned Mana Contemporary arts center hosts visual and performing arts programming and exhibitions, and the restored Loew’s Theatre and eagerly anticipated Parisian museum, Centre De Pompidou, will soon be hubs for entertainment and culture. The neighborhood also boasts an eclectic selection of restaurants, bakeries, cafes, shops, boutiques, and community activities, and will be introducing a new park adjacent to the property in the near future.
