The Greyson, a New 29-Story Rental Tower, Nears Completion in Jersey City

Construction is nearing completion on The Greyson, a striking 29-story rental building at 25 Cottage Street in Jersey City’s Journal Square neighborhood. Developed by Nasser Freres, with both architecture and interior design by renowned NYC-based Handel Architects, The Greyson will offer 622 studio to three-bedroom rental homes, hospitality-inspired amenities, and a curated living experience, just moments from the Journal Square PATH station.

As anticipation builds for the February 2026 leasing launch, to be led by The Marketing Directors, the development team has revealed the first renderings of The Greyson’s social and wellness amenities. A new teaser website — www.TheGreyson.com — has also launched, where prospective residents can join a priority list to be among the first to be contacted upon the grand opening.

“We’re excited to be nearing completion of The Greyson and to welcome residents soon to this exceptional new offering," said Michael Sokoloff, a Partner at Nasser Freres, a New York–based real estate development firm with extensive experience across all asset classes in the U.S. and Europe. "With residences designed for modern living, premium amenities, and convenient connectivity, The Greyson will appeal to a wide range of residents. We’re looking forward to sharing everything it has to offer when leasing opens in early 2026."

A bold new addition to the Jersey City skyline, The Greyson features a glass serrated-edge façade along Cottage Street that undulates in and out to create “bay windows” maximizing views toward the waterfront and Manhattan.

Inside, interiors imagined by Handel Architects feature upscale finishes and appointments, including 9-foot ceilings, full-height windows that maximize natural light and airflow, in-home GE washer/dryers, and electronic smart locks for convenient access. Kitchens are appointed with a stainless-steel appliance package, including a French-door refrigerator, electric glass top range, microwave, and dishwasher with hidden controls, complemented by designer cabinetry, quartz countertops, and tasteful tile backsplashes.

The impressive lifestyle amenity package spans multiple full floors, designed to support connection, wellness, and entertainment. Highlights include a stunning double-height lobby lounge, spa with steam, sauna, salt and relaxation rooms, outdoor kitchens and BBQs, state-of-the-art fitness and yoga studios, co-working and content creation spaces, a speakeasy, bowling alley, children’s playroom, and pet spa and indoor/outdoor pet play area. In addition, an on-site art gallery will showcase revolving art from local artists, along with an art studio that residents can utilize for their own creations.

Crowning the building is the 29th-floor rooftop Sky Deck, with exterior features designed by Melillo Bauer Carman Landscape Architecture, including landscaped outdoor areas with loungers and observation terraces. The showpiece is what is expected to be the highest swimming pool in the state, offering sweeping views across Jersey City and the Manhattan skyline.

“The crafted, thoughtful design of these lifestyle amenity spaces stands out in the Jersey City marketplace,” said Jackie Urgo, President of The Marketing Directors, the exclusive leasing and marketing firm representing The Greyson. “Located on Homestead Place, The Greyson offers a pedestrian-friendly, transit-oriented lifestyle for those looking for serenity in a bustling neighborhood.”

The Greyson is located on Homestead Place, a new pedestrian-only plaza that connects the Journal Square PATH entrance on Pavonia Avenue to Newark Avenue. The building’s ground-floor retail will front a newly created section of the Homestead Place extension, bringing energy and charm, with the corridor providing a direct, car-free pedestrian pathway flanked by cafes and stores to the transit hub.

The Greyson is set just two blocks off the Square, offering a quieter, serene arrival experience while remaining conveniently close to the neighborhood’s extensive transportation network, anchored by PATH service to lower and midtown Manhattan, as well as Jersey City, Hoboken, and Newark. NJ Transit trains and private buses also serve Journal Square daily, providing easy access to major employment, dining, and recreation centers on both sides of the Hudson River.

Official leasing at The Greyson is expected to launch in February 2026, with immediate occupancy following.

Greystar is handling property management for the building.
