HARRISON, N.J. – Developers Ironstate Development and Pegasus Group have announced the grand opening of Harrison Urby, a 409-unit rental complex that combines bold modern architecture and landscape design with a robust events calendar. Situated two blocks from the Harrison PATH station, Harrison Urby is just 20 minutes from Lower Manhattan. Harrison Urby is the third Urby development to be completed in the New York City metropolitan area, following Staten Island Urby and Jersey City Urby. Urby is a complete re-think of rental apartments that is design driven with collective spaces that are thoughtfully programmed to connect residents with one another.
“We are thrilled to open a third Urby location in one of Hudson County’s fastest growing areas,” said David Barry, CEO of Urby and President of Ironstate Development, which is developing over 2,200 residential units, an Element by Westin hotel and 80,000 square feet of shops and restaurant space in Harrison. “Harrison Urby illustrates the Urby brand’s commitment to creating efficient apartments located near mass transit.”
To celebrate the grand opening of Harrison Urby, a ceremonial ribbon cutting was held this morning and attended by Harrison Mayor James A. Fife.
“I'm delighted to be here today celebrating the opening of another exceptional residential building from Ironstate Development Company and The Pegasus Group,” said Mayor Fife. “They are visionary developers who have helped re-energize our town and made us part of the thriving New Jersey Gold Coast. We're fortunate to have such experienced and committed partners helping us shape the future of the Town of Harrison.”
Designed inside and out by the Amsterdam-based architecture and interiors firm Concrete, Harrison Urby is comprised of a 4-story building set around landscaped green spaces. The building offers thoughtfully designed residences that make smart use of space, available in studio, one-bedroom and two-bedroom layouts. Each apartment features large windows to maximize natural light, built-in closets with drawers for storage, a full washer/dryer, sustainable bamboo flooring and dimmable LED lights. Prices range from $1,800 for a studio to $3,200 for a two-bedroom apartment.
Collective spaces are integral to each Urby and are designed to foster natural opportunities for residents to meet and interact. At Harrison Urby, the two-story Coperaco Café, located in the lobby, features a 30-foot tree house library and a Steinway baby grand piano for performances. The nearby Urby Blues is an onsite recording studio that serves as a practice space for Urby’s jazz musician-in-residence, Davell Crawford.
Residents will also have access to a two-story fitness center with cardio and weight equipment, a yoga room and regularly scheduled fitness classes. The Urby Kitchen is a communal chef’s kitchen that is used to host culinary classes, wine tastings and events from local business owners, including pop-up dinners, a salon series and workshops for residents.
Outside, the courtyard is home to a heated saltwater swimming pool and patio, as well as fire pits and a great lawn, complete with gardens, paths and lawn games including bocce ball and table tennis. The complex also features car parking, bicycle storage and a Woofgarden for dogs.
Harrison Urby is located at 777 South Third Street in Harrison, N.J. The first Urby opened in 2016 on Staten Island’s North Shore, followed by a second location in downtown Jersey City in early 2017. Construction of Stamford Urby has just started.
