Alpine Residential has officially unveiled AVIVA, a massive two-tower residential development that marks a historic milestone for Jersey City’s burgeoning SciTech Scity district.
Located at 189 Phillip Street, AVIVA stands as the only residential community within the innovative tech hub and the only new construction directly adjacent to the ongoing transformation of Liberty State Park.
Pre-leasing for the 500-unit luxury community will begin in May, with the first residents expected to move in this summer.
Designed through a collaboration between GRT Architects and Ismael Leyva Architects, AVIVA consists of twin 12-story buildings connected by a grand, one-story lobby base. Because of its unique positioning on the edge of the state park, the property offers what developers describe as “permanently unobstructed views” of the Manhattan skyline, New York Harbor, and the Statue of Liberty.
The community offers a diverse mix of studio, one-, two-, and three-bedroom apartments featuring floor-to-ceiling windows and contemporary finishes. Select residences also include private balconies and oversized terraces to take advantage of the waterfront breeze.
A standout feature of the project is a signature water garden situated atop the lobby roof, which will be accessible to both residents and the public, providing sweeping views of the harbor.
Resident-exclusive amenities include:
- Rooftop Oasis: A pool, lounge, and grilling stations surrounded by landscaped gardens.
- Wellness & Productivity: A high-end fitness center with a dedicated HIIT studio and a co-working wing featuring private conference spaces.
- Lifestyle Spaces: A demonstration kitchen for hosting, a children’s playroom, and a professional-grade pet salon.
- Tech-Forward Infrastructure: On-site garage parking equipped with multiple EV charging stations and dedicated bike storage.
AVIVA’s launch coincides with the massive multi-phase revitalization of Liberty State Park, which is evolving into a world-class destination for recreation and athletics. Residents will benefit from immediate access to the park’s trails and ferry terminals, as well as the nearby Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, providing a 10-minute connection to downtown Jersey City and PATH service to Manhattan.
“AVIVA offers modern homes, premium amenities, and a location that combines proximity to Liberty State Park with seamless access to the region’s transit hubs,” William Rosato, Managing Partner of Alpine Residential said. “We look forward to welcoming residents to this exciting new community.”
Leasing and management will be directed by South Oxford Management, Alpine’s affiliated management arm. Prospective renters are encouraged to visit the newly launched teaser website at www.Avivajc.com to join the priority waitlist before the May launch.
