This premier complex offers tenants access to first-class amenities, including retail, restaurants, a waterfront walkway, and the Hyatt Regency hotel. As part of Mack-Cali’s recently announced three-year strategic plan, the company is embarking on a dramatic transformation of Harborside. The company intends to capitalize on Harborside’s skyline views, abundant nearby housing, and access to regional transit, which includes the PATH train, Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, and ferry service. The revamped Harborside will add new retail, fitness centers, and food concepts, including restaurants and bars. Additionally, Mack-Cali recently topped-out URL Harborside, a 763-unit, multi-family residential building, adding another exciting residential option for young professionals in Jersey City. “While this is already an outstanding property, the amenity package will become even more attractive for TAMI firms like SunGard as Mack-Cali repositions its retail space over the coming years,” said Michael DeMarco, president of Mack-Cali. “It is an exhilarating time to be a part of the Jersey City community as we continue creating a dynamic live-work-play environment.”
