New roof deck lights up
The Beacon
A new six-level parking garage offering 510 parking spaces and a 45,000 s/f landscaped roof deck has opened at The Beacon, the community of luxury rental residences and incomparable amenities in Jersey City.
The new roof deck will instantly become the centerpiece of an already extensive collection of private pocket parks and open green space situated within the gated community. This unique amenity features a distinctive entrance courtyard, seating, lighting, walking paths, flower beds, lawns and an overlook terrace offering breathtaking views of the Hudson River and Manhattan skyline.
“The completion of this parking garage and roof deck brings us closer to our goal of making The Beacon one of the greenest urban residential communities in the region,” notes Beth Polychrones, General Manager at The Beacon. “Our residents already enjoy substantial green space that includes a two-acre pocket park, a dog run, organic community gardens and a children’s playground. The new rooftop deck literally brings these desirable outdoor amenity offerings to new heights, creating an urban oasis of greenery and passive recreation for our residents right here in the heart of Jersey City.”
The Beacon offers residents proximity to Jersey City’s vibrant downtown district which is celebrated for its comprehensive public transportation system, including numerous NY Waterway Ferry terminals and PATH stations offering convenient service into Manhattan, as well as NJ Transit Light Rail and accessibility to the Holland and Lincoln Tunnels and the New Jersey Turnpike.
