JERSEY CITY, N.J. (Sept. 13, 2017) — The unique lifestyle offered at The One became even more desirable today, when Jimmy John’s Sandwiches celebrated the opening of its first Jersey City location on the ground floor of the luxury residential and retail tower at 110 First Street. The popular restaurant, which marked the opening with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, adds a new dynamic to Downtown Jersey City’s renowned dining scene, and represents another example of the convenience enjoyed by residents of The One, which is situated in the Powerhouse Arts District neighborhood.
“When searching for dining and retail concepts to fill the ground-floor space at The One, we were committed to ensuring that the establishments we welcome here are well positioned to meet the needs our building’s residents, as well as those of our neighbors in the Powerhouse Arts District,†said Lloyd Goldman, principal of BLDG Management Co., Inc., which developed The One in a joint-venture partnership with Ares Management, L.P. and Urban Development Partners. “While The One has experienced a high level of success due to its unique residences and unparalleled building amenities, I believe that bringing in high-quality establishments such as Jimmy John’s, and the resulting enrichment of the surrounding community, is the project’s most significant accomplishment.â€
Residents of The One enjoy next-level luxury amenities, including a world-class fitness center with its own yoga studio, media theater room, children’s playroom, gaming room, virtual golf, residents’ lounge with catering kitchen and billiards and additional storage space. Outdoor amenities include a pool with private cabanas and an expansive landscaped sun deck, picnic and lawn area, barbecues and fire pit. Additionally, sitting 37 stories high, a sky lounge with a kitchen and adjacent roof deck provides residents with a perfect place for entertaining guests with a direct view of New York City.
For commuters, The One is just a short walk from Jersey City’s Grove Street, Pavonia/Newport and Exchange Place PATH stations. The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail stop is conveniently located right outside of the building, which is also just a short drive to the Holland Tunnel. Residents also benefit from the presence of an on-site parking garage, bike storage, an immediately adjacent Citi Bike station, as well as a 24-hour attended lobby.
