The New Jersey waterfront has seen a remarkable transformation over the past four decades, and Hartz Mountain Industries has officially marked the culmination of that change. The company announced on Wednesday that it completed The Reserve at Estuary, a new high-end rental development in Weehawken’s Lincoln Harbor neighborhood. This milestone not only adds 218 new residences to the “Gold Coast” but also concludes the 40-year evolution of what was once an industrial railyard into a vibrant, mixed-use community. The property’s immediate success, with over 60% of units leased in record time, highlights the sustained demand for luxury living along the Hudson River.
The Reserve at Estuary, located at 1525 Harbor Boulevard, occupies the final waterfront development site in the 60-acre enclave. Its leasing pace is a testament to the strong appeal of a lifestyle that combines premium amenities, stunning views and convenient access to Manhattan.
“The completion of The Reserve at Estuary represents the fulfillment of our long-term vision for Lincoln Harbor and caps off a transformative period of growth,” Gus Milano, president and chief operating officer at Hartz Mountain Industries said. “The community’s swift leasing momentum underscores the strong demand for elevated rental living along New Jersey’s Gold Coast – where open space, premium amenities, and iconic Manhattan views come together to offer an unparalleled lifestyle.”
The new seven-story building, designed by New Jersey-based MHS Architecture, pays homage to the area’s industrial roots with a mix of glass and iron spot brick. The residences themselves offer a mix of studio to two-bedroom-plus-den layouts, with select units featuring private balconies, patios, or terraces. The interiors are designed with condo-quality finishes, including floor-to-ceiling windows, wide-plank flooring, and modern kitchens with quartz countertops and stainless steel appliances.
The property’s amenities, spanning nearly 40,000 square feet, are a major draw. Residents have access to a resort-style pool with an elevated sundeck, a landscaped courtyard, and a rooftop entertainment lounge with a demonstration kitchen. For professionals, the building provides a coworking lounge and private work pods. A fully equipped fitness center and game room are also available. The inclusion of 200 on-site parking spaces addresses a key need for commuters.
A significant addition to the local community will be Alessio’s Cafe, which is slated to open on the ground floor later this summer. The 2,200-square-foot space will offer its popular Italian menu, including breakfast sandwiches, paninis, and high-quality coffee. This new dining option further enhances the walkable, pedestrian-friendly environment of Lincoln Harbor, which already offers residents access to Whole Foods Market and top dining destinations like Drift and Blu on the Hudson.
Beyond the new development, the area itself has evolved into a vibrant hub. It is bordered by Hoboken to the south and provides residents with immediate access to a variety of transit options, including ferry, bus, and light rail service, all set against a stunning Manhattan backdrop. Lincoln Harbor’s historic transformation has been a long-term project, shifting from a commercial and dining hub to a dynamic live-work-stay-play community.
The Reserve at Estuary also connects directly to the 18.5-mile Hudson River Waterfront Walkway, offering residents opportunities for recreation and leisure that stretch from the George Washington Bridge to Bayonne. With professional management by Greystar, the new building is poised to meet the demand for luxury living in one of New Jersey’s most coveted waterfront locations.
Starting prices for the units begin at $3,300/month for studios and $4,785/month for two-bedroom units. This final phase of Lincoln Harbor’s redevelopment solidifies its status as a premier destination on the Gold Coast, offering a sophisticated urban-suburban lifestyle that has been decades in the making. The rapid lease-up rate of The Reserve at Estuary is a clear indicator that the vision for Lincoln Harbor has been a resounding success.
