Alpine Residential together with Fields Grade have reached a milestone in the lease of its latest upscale residences, the Hazel. Ninety-five percent the 87 residences in the second phase of the community are now leased.
The six-story building marks another success for the development team, which has helped redefine Bergen-Lafayette through The Bergen Lafayette Collection, a series of mixed-use properties that have reshaped the neighborhood. South Oxford Management, Alpine’s affiliated management company, led the leasing program at The Hazel Jersey City.
Located at 89 Monitor Street, the newest addition to Bergen-Lafayette has excelled in today’s apartment market with a mix of oversized studio to two-bedroom homes and a full suite of amenities.
“We’ve seen strong demand at The Hazel from renters who recognize the value of spacious, well-designed homes in a dynamic, emerging neighborhood,” Bill Rosato, managing partner of Alpine Residential said. “It reflects the long-term vision we’ve had for Bergen-Lafayette and the kind of thoughtful development that’s helping shape its future.”
Homes feature nine-foot-plus ceilings, luxury plank flooring, modular closets, in-home washer and dryer, complimentary window treatments, and smart lock entry systems. Gourmet kitchens offer stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, full-height backsplashes, soft-close cabinetry, and under-cabinet lighting. Spa-inspired baths are nicely appointed, and select residences include a bonus den.
Amenities include a rooftop terrace with pool, BBQ areas, outdoor seating, mist station, multiple courtyards, dog run, and a sky lounge with NYC skyline views. Indoor offerings include co-working space, a library with fireplace, fitness center, and demonstration kitchen. Concierge service, amenity guest suite, TULU lending system, package room, bike storage, electric scooters, and garage parking with EV charging round out the experience.
Designed by Fogarty Finger Architecture, The Hazel features a distinctive gray and green brick façade with large floor-to-ceiling windows—a nod to the area’s industrial past. In total, The Hazel Jersey City has delivered 202 luxury residences to a neighborhood known for its arts scene, dining, nightlife, and access to Liberty State Park, Downtown Jersey City, and Manhattan.
Bergen-Lafayette has benefited from major investment and infrastructure improvements, including the extension of Jersey Avenue and light rail service connecting to PATH trains and ferry terminals.
Nearby Liberty State Park offers more than 1,200 acres of open space, a two-mile promenade, marina, performance areas, and sweeping views of the Manhattan skyline, Hudson River, and Statue of Liberty. The park also includes ferry service to Manhattan and the Liberty Science Center, and the future home to SciTech Scity.
“The leasing success at The Hazel is a reflection of our team’s ability to thoughtfully design and deliver homes that resonate with today’s renter,” Rob Giannone, director of development at Fields Grade said. “From layout and finishes to amenity programming and retail curation, every decision is made with the resident experience in mind. That attention to detail continues to drive strong demand across our Bergen-Lafayette portfolio.”
Retail has been a key component of the Collection. The Hazel is home to Cheeky’s, a “New Orleans-style” sandwich shop. Other tenants include Eggs Up (in Atlas), MochiDough/BoberTea, and The Roxy (both in Starling).
