Birch House, the Minno & Wasko-designed apartment building on the west side of Jersey City, New Jersey, offers eco-friendly amenities | Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners

Amid a surge in summer leasing activity at Birch House, developer Halpern Real Estate Ventures (HREV) has officially unveiled the full package of five-star amenities in addition to its upscale collection of 337 rental apartments on Jersey City’s thriving West Side.

Offering a distinctly eco-conscious lifestyle and emphasis on sustainability, the striking six-story building features 50,000 square feet of indoor and outdoor amenities that contribute significantly to the sublime sense of nature, peace and tranquility that distinguishes Birch House in the Hudson County market.

Birch House’s outdoor amenities were intentionally designed with inviting open spaces. Highlights include a beautifully landscaped 20,000-square-foot garden courtyard and a 20,000-square-foot rooftop deck with lounge seating, sun loungers, a bar and cinema area, a community garden, a misting system, a dog run, and grilling and dining areas with 360-degree views of the Hackensack Waterfront District, Downtown Jersey City, and Manhattan.

Inside, residents have access to private and communal coworking spaces for flexible work from home with Zoom booths, private offices, individual seating, and conference tables. The inviting, nature-inspired 24/7 staffed lobby and fully stocked coffee bar, which leads to the second floor via a connecting staircase, serves as an open and inviting entrance for all residents and their guests. Additional amenities include a speakeasy-style bar, state-of-the-art fitness center with yoga studio and Pilates room, resident party room and fully equipped kitchen, game and billiards lounge, children’s playroom, complimentary shuttle to and from Journal Square PATH station, and convenient on-site covered parking with available electric vehicle charging stations.

Birch House seamlessly blends eco-conscious design and modern living. The architectural ingenuity of Minno & Wasko Architects and Planners, coupled with the meticulous interior design of Meshberg Group, includes meaningful eco-friendly elements such as a composting system to produce fertilizer for the property’s landscaping, planters for community gardens, rooftop solar panels, electric vehicle chargers, rainwater collection for irrigation, and a massive 1,858 square meter landscaped park. LED lighting and low-flow fixtures further reinforce the eco-friendly aspect in each residence.

Birch House presents a mix of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments with upscale finishes that include custom, oversized floor-to-ceiling windows that flood each apartment with natural light and complement the wide-plank oak floors that grace the interiors. Generous kitchens feature GE appliances, including a four-burner stove, stainless steel refrigerator, dishwasher, and Frigidaire microwave. The modern aesthetic is completed by gray quartz countertops, gray stone tile backsplash, white oak and gray cabinetry, and freestanding kitchen islands. Sumptuous baths offer a luxurious retreat, showcasing porcelain tile floors and wet walls, custom matte black medicine cabinets and fixtures, and deep soaking tubs with handheld showerheads.

Monthly rents for the houses start at $1,900* per month.

Birch House is located at 49 Fisk Street in the West Side community often referred to by residents as the Hackensack Waterfront District, which is currently undergoing significant investment and revitalization efforts resulting in the creation of a significant number of new housing, shops, amenities, green spaces and other community improvements.
