Jersey City, NJ, September 2013: 77 Hudson, K. Hovnanian’s® soaring 49-story residential tower on the Hudson River in Jersey City, has just achieved a new milestone. The sparkling blue-glass luxury high-rise building recently sold one of its few remaining unsold homes, a two-bedroom penthouse on the 48th floor, for a record-setting price of $2.8 million.
While the transaction marks the highest sale price ever paid for a residential condominium in Jersey City, according to Scott Waldman, 77 HudsonÂ’s broker of record, “It does not represent the top of the line at 77 Hudson. This record sale is not the highest-priced home in the building. However, it certainly showcases the stark comparison between our 2,100 square-foot penthouse and similar apartment homes just across the Hudson. A comparable 2,100 square-foot condominium on the west side of Manhattan would cost between $5-7 million, if you could find it. This is a testament not only to the quality and the desirability of the homes at 77 Hudson and our close-to-everything location, but also to the rebounding strength of the housing market in New Jersey. This spectacular building is nearly 100% sold – and our final penthouses are the crown jewel of 77 Hudson, with views that are just breathtaking.” Continue reading RVO REAL ESTATE VIEWS: $2.8 Million Penthouse Purchase Sets Jersey City Record→

Room 84 is aptly named because the address is 84 Washington Street in Hoboken. It is an intimate club; not a very large space. There is enough room to accommodate private areas called V.I.P. sections for a more private setting with friends. These spaces are sectioned off by sheer curtain panels letting you enjoy your party, but still being part of the overall scene with a dance floor.
The dominant color is white with colorful lighting dimmed enough to make you feel intimate. The bar is long so everyone can get to it and order drinks if bottle service isn’t required. If you do order bottle service it is quite an experience because you do feel like a V.I.P. with lots of attentive service from the staff. The bottle service is very affordable compared with other clubs in town. For $250 the Friday package special you get 3 bottles of top shelf liquor, and a carafe of juices and sodas. On Saturday, the 3-bottle special is $300.
