JERSEY CITY, N.J. — Vision Properties and Hana Alternative Asset Management have acquired 70 Hudson Street, a 431,281-square-foot office building located on the Hudson River in Jersey City. A joint venture between Danish institutional investor PFA Pension and Spear Street Capital sold the 12-story asset for $300 million.
Built in 2000 and recently renovated with a new lobby and elevators, the asset is less than a block away from both the Paulus Hook river taxi station offering passage to several locations in Manhattan and the PATH light rail stations offering transit to Manhattan and New Jersey. It is only 1.5 miles from the Holland Tunnel as well. There is a Citibike bicycle rental station onsite and its waterfront location grants panoramic views of Lower Manhattan as well.
Ground-floor retail tenants include CVS/pharmacy, bakery and restaurant Maman and a gym. Three floors of parking above the lobby and retail areas provide 226 parking spaces. According to the property website, only one 26,650-square-foot suite is currently available to rent, while the rest of the building is fully leased.
Cushman & Wakefield’s David Bernhaut, Adam Spies, Kevin Donner, Marcella Fasulo, Andrew Merin, Gary Gabriel, Frank DiTommaso and Ryan Larkin, along with local leasing specialists Ed Duenas and Rob Lowe, represented the seller. Alpha Asset Management represented the buyers in the transaction.
“Since 2016, the sellers have invested tens of millions of dollars to reposition this asset, resulting in 70 Hudson being one of the highest quality buildings on the waterfront,” says Bernhaut.
Cushman & Wakefield also handles leasing at the property.
Based in Tampa, Vision Properties is a full-service commercial real estate firm with assets spanning the East Coast to the Rocky Mountain region. Hana Alternative Asset Management is a South Korea-based commercial real estate investment firm.
