Weehawken Condos Up The Hill From Hoboken Get Renovated

Press release from Coldwell Banker Realty:

Sept. 21, 2021

Gregory Commons, the landmark three-building complex of authentic, factory-converted lofts that look over the iconic New York City skyline from Hudson Yards to the Freedom Tower from high atop a bluff in Weehawken, has entered its latest phase of revitalization. This project, expected to be completed by the end of 2023, is breathing new life into the historic home of the S. Blickman Company, meeting intense demand for luxurious yet affordable homes bordering Manhattan along New Jersey’s “Gold Coast.”

Sophia Blickman opened her Weehawken plant on the site in 1923, manufacturing pots, pans and ultimately stainless-steel hospital equipment and biological safety equipment used in the NASA Apollo program. The company outgrew its Weehawken factory and relocated operations to Fairlawn and then Clifton beginning in 1975. Between 1988 and 1990, the former S. Blickman Company facility was converted into the 176 luxury condominiums that it is known for today.

“Gregory Commons meets modern demand for Hudson waterfront living while never losing sight of its luxurious sensibilities that are steeped in local history. These revitalization projects will increase curb appeal and beauty within its interior common areas, enhance modern conveniences, and guarantee sustainability of the complex over time. History has never been so good,” said Angela Cuciniello, the Coldwell Banker Realty sales agent who represents numerous listings at Gregory Commons.

Gregory Commons is a gated for privacy and offers numerous amenities such as a 24-hour concierge, resident garage parking, guest parking, an indoor swimming pool, sauna, fitness center, resident’s lounge, garden courtyard, storage and on-site maintenance. Pets are welcome. Gregory Commons is only two miles from the Port Authority, a quick commute into New York City, and a short stroll to shopping and dining at Lincoln Harbor, Park Avenue and Hoboken. It is surrounded by vibrant new residential and commercial development, including a new waterfront park, tennis courts, a dog run, and a new pool just opened for residents.

The capital improvement projects are fully modernizing Gregory Commons while maintaining its distinctive character and timeless charm. As part of this phase of construction, the façade of each building is being completely refreshed with the repointing of bricks and fresh paint. The inner courtyard plaza is being redone with new stucco and pavers, and the lobby, concierge area and common hallways are undergoing renovation. In addition, the building’s elevators are being modernized. The repairs are expected to cost $7 million, a significant investment into the future of Gregory Commons.
