• Development converts a 1920s industrial building into modern loft-style rentals
• Part of the larger Hudson House mixed-use residential development in Jersey City

What Radio Lofts delivers to Jersey City

Radio Lofts is now complete at 316 15th Street, marking the second phase of the Hudson House development in Jersey City. The project transforms a former industrial building into 140 loft-style rental units, with layouts ranging from studios to three-bedroom apartments. The property was originally built for Continental Can Company and later used by Emerson Radio, making this a true adaptive reuse play. Developers include RXR, Columbia Property Trust, Strategic Value Partners LLC, and One Investment Management, with design handled by Urban Architecture.

What the design means for renters

The units lean into the building’s industrial roots while delivering modern finishes. Apartments feature 11.5-foot ceilings, exposed brick, and large windows, along with flexible layouts that appeal to today’s renters. Interior upgrades include plank flooring, modular closets, and in-unit laundry, positioning the property competitively within Jersey City’s growing luxury rental market. Residents also gain access to Hudson House’s full amenity package, including fitness and wellness areas, coworking spaces, lounges, pools, and EV-ready parking.

What the location means for leasing demand

The property sits in the SoHo West neighborhood near the Hoboken border, one of the most active residential pockets in the region. Connectivity is a major draw. Residents have access to Hoboken Terminal, which links to PATH trains, NJ Transit, ferries, and light rail. Shuttle service to the PATH station further strengthens the commute into Manhattan. This level of transit access continues to drive leasing demand as renters prioritize convenience and flexibility.

What this means for developers and investors

This project highlights the continued momentum behind adaptive reuse strategies in high-density markets like Jersey City. Developers are increasingly targeting older industrial buildings to deliver a unique product while avoiding the costs and timelines of ground-up construction. For institutional players, these projects offer a way to create differentiated assets in competitive rental markets. With strong amenities, transit access, and distinctive design, Radio Lofts is positioned to attract steady tenant demand and support long-term rental growth. Adaptive reuse projects like Radio Lofts show how developers are unlocking value in older assets while meeting modern renter demand
