Leasing has commenced at Birch House, a stylish sustainability-minded residential community at 49 Fisk Street.
An anticipated new rental development emphasizing modern, sustainable living has arrived in Jersey City’s West Side neighborhood.
Birch House brings together a collection of 337 design-driven residences, paired with lush greenery and thoughtful amenities that inspire meaningful connections to nature. Developed by Halpern Real Estate Ventures, the property integrates numerous environmentally conscious design features that are truly state of the art, including rooftop solar panels, a rainwater collection system for irrigation, and a composting system producing fertilizer for landscaping on the grounds. LED lighting and low flow plumbing fixtures in each residence further enhance the building’s “green” sensibilities. The development is underpinned by a network of residents-only outdoor spaces, including a 20,000-square-foot courtyard garden and a 22,000-square-foot rooftop with 360-degree views of the Hackensack Waterfront District, Downtown Jersey City, and Manhattan.
Birch House is situated in an area often referred to by residents as the Hackensack Waterfront District. Significant investment and revitalization efforts have taken root here, bringing a plethora of new residences, retail, amenities, and other community enhancements. The nearby 273-acre Lincoln Park offers access to diverse recreational facilities, including 21 public tennis courts, three playgrounds, a dog run, nature trails, several sports fields, and Skyway Golf Course — a scenic nine-hole layout adorned with colorful fescue, magnificent dunes, and rolling fairways.
The building’s strategic location provides easy access to Route 440, connecting residents to the New Jersey Turnpike and Routes 1 and 9, bringing businesses and popular recreation options in northern New Jersey within easy reach. Just five blocks away, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail’s West Side Ave. stop facilitates convenient travel to downtown Jersey City, Hoboken, and beyond. Birch House also provides residents with a complimentary shuttle to the Journal Square PATH station, making trips to Manhattan a breeze.
