Woods Bagot complete Newport’s first waterfront condominium in nearly a decade

Named Park and Shore, two distinct but connected residential buildings on Jersey City’s gold coast offer sweeping views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline

by Georgina Johnston 23 March 2021 Waterfront

The 19th floor Sky Lounge features a demonstration kitchen and opens to a roof terrace with lush plantings, generous seating, and two bar areas for enjoying views of Manhattan skylines on festive summer evenings. 

The upper corner apartments benefit from balconies and the majority of the apartments have floor-to-ceiling windows that showcase picturesque views and introduce copious natural light.

Amenities at 75 Park, which are shared by residents of two Shore, include a library and co-working space furnished in classic leather and velvet; an elevated putting green; and a lavish fitness centre complete with pool, sauna and jacuzzi. 

The elegant lobby is luxuriously appointed with fluted walnut wall panels, a marble slab fronting the reception desk folding to marble floor; minimalist pendant lights, and sleek yet comfortable furniture. 

The wine-tasting room, lounge and pantry, where residents are welcome to entertain (permitting social distancing), features an oversized fireplace and sliding glass doors that open onto a patio. There is also a colourful play area for children on a protected terrace.

The two buildings are unified by common materials. Metal and terracotta frames in natural colours visually connect the buildings to the adjacent public park. Woods Bagot designed the exterior in keeping with the scale of the buildings, 75 Park, at 38 stories, comprises an interlocking series of two storey frames holding floor-to-ceiling glass, while two Shore, at eight stories the lower building, features staggered, single-story frames. The 75 Park begins with a low-rise base that extends to the street face. Its tower is set back respecting the residential community scale and provides terrific views of Manhattan and the surrounding New Jersey landscape.
