Charter Realty drives Southend Hoboken to 85% leased with supermarket, gym, and public school

Hoboken, NJ Southend Hoboken (38 Jackson St.) is one of the most dynamic mixed-use developments in the region, and Charter Realty is at the center of the commercial transformation. The project, which brings together 110 residential condominium homes known as Southend Lofts, 50,000 s/f of commercial space, and 50,000 s/f of ground-floor retail, is reshaping the southern edge of the city into a live-work-play destination.

Located in Lower Hoboken, the development is positioned to serve an expanding community, with thousands of new residential units either under construction or approved within a half-mile radius. Southend Hoboken was conceived to fill a gap, delivering a thoughtfully curated mix of retail, services, and amenities that the neighborhood has long needed.

Charter Realty represented the landlord, The Taurasi Group, in securing several key leases that will anchor and energize the project. These include a 35,100 s/f full-service fitness facility called City Fitness and a 12,500 s/f supermarket called Southend Market - offering grocery options to an underserved area. Most recently, Charter secured a 25,500 s/f lease with Hoboken Public School to house a pre-K and early childhood education center - an addition that further solidifies the project’s position as a premier destination for retail, fitness, and everyday services in the city. In addition to the anchors mentioned above, a 2,225 s/f space was leased to Under Pressure Coffee, and a 3,700 s/f space was leased to Nana’s Dim Sum and Dumplings. The project is now 85% leased. Charter’s Scott Edlitz led the leasing effort, securing a roster of tenants that collectively redefine what the southern end of Hoboken can offer.

“Reaching 85% leased with tenants of this caliber: Southend Market, City Fitness, and Hoboken Public School, is a testament to the vision behind this project. Lower Hoboken needed this, and we’re proud to have helped make it happen,” said Dan Zelson, principal of Charter Realty.
