The Waterfront neighborhood is one of
Jersey City
’s newest and oldest neighborhoods. Located along the City’s
Hudson River
waterfront, the waterfront is where the City started as an industrial “gritty city”. Formally a neighborhood of “back to back” industrial buildings, the neighborhood is now home to some of the largest and most prestigious buildings in the state. The neighborhood’s southern boundary is the lower tidal basin and the northern boundary is the
Long
Slip
Canal
, which is Jersey City’s northern border with
Hoboken
. The neighborhood’s western boundary is
Washington Boulevard
. Traditionally a part of the Downtown neighborhood, the Waterfront neighborhood is distinguished by new high rise residential and commercial buildings. The Waterfront neighborhood is comprised of many sub-neighborhoods, which include
Colgate
Center
, Harborside, Harsimus Cove and
Newport
. The Waterfront Commercial Office Market is the 12th largest in the Country, surpassing
Orlando, Florida
as a Class A office market. The Waterfront has become a symbol of the urban renaissance that has made
Jersey
City a national model for urban revitalization.
