It was just a year ago that 253 Academy Street went from Blah to Ah! The newly constructed 79-unit building known as ‘The Moxie at Journal Square’ made headlines as being the latest innovative addition to Jersey City’s urban landscape.
This modular building contains (77) studio units and (2) larger apartments that were constructed in pre- fabricated segments and assembled as stand-alone modular units. The community features plentiful amenities including rooftop grills, hi-tech smart gym, secure bike storage facility and concierge service.
The property is positioned in Bergen Square, a sub neighborhood of Journal Square known as one of the most emerging markets in Jersey City for gentrifying at a rapid pace. The Moxie at JC features uncompromising detail, form and function for providing a unique urban residence, while simultaneously offering a pedestrian-friendly experience with nearby bicycle accessibility, bus service and JSQ Path Station.
