Modern loft living on the Jersey City-Hoboken border
Zephyr Lofts stands as a testament to urban renewal in The Waterfront neighborhood, straddling the border between Jersey City and Hoboken. This 13-story condominium, completed in 2005, houses 102 units within its modern structure. The building's design incorporates elements of its industrial past, as it was originally constructed in 1918 as a refrigerated warehouse before its conversion to residential use. Situated in a prime location, Zephyr Lofts offers residents easy access to both cities' amenities while providing a tranquil living environment with views of the Manhattan skyline and the Hudson River.
Spacious lofts with soaring ceilings and city views
Zephyr Lofts offers a variety of floor plans to suit different lifestyles, ranging from studios to expansive four-bedroom units. Studios, starting at 575 square feet, provide an efficient living space for singles or couples. One-bedroom units, spanning 827 to 916 square feet, are available from $499,060 to $557,052, offering ample room for comfortable living. Two-bedroom layouts, approximately 1,000 square feet, are priced between $613,742 and $754,732, ideal for small families or those desiring extra space. Four-bedroom units are also available, providing options for larger households.
The lofts feature industrial-chic design elements, including soaring ceilings up to 15 feet high and oversized windows that flood the spaces with natural light. Many units boast breathtaking views of the New York City skyline, particularly the Empire State Building. Hardwood floors run throughout, complementing the open-concept layouts. Kitchens are equipped with stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, and in some units, breakfast bars for casual dining.
Recent renovations in select units have introduced high-end finishes such as custom motorized shades, Trane HVAC systems, and updated bathrooms featuring Duravit fixtures and quartzite stone countertops. Storage is abundant, with many units offering custom-built closets, pantries, and additional utility rooms. In-unit washers and dryers come standard, adding convenience to daily life. Some apartments include private outdoor spaces, perfect for enjoying the urban scenery or a morning coffee.

Urban convenience meets waterfront charm
The Waterfront neighborhood, straddling Jersey City and Hoboken, offers a vibrant mix of urban amenities and scenic beauty. Often referred to as New York City's sixth borough due to its proximity and easy commute to Manhattan, this area attracts young professionals and families seeking a balance of city life and community feel.
