Modon Holding has formed a new joint venture (JV) to deliver Harborside 4, a 54-story residential tower on one of the last prime waterfront sites in downtown Jersey City, New Jersey, USA.
The company said in a statement that the construction is set to begin in the first quarter of 2026, with completion targeted in the first quarter of 2029.
Modon Holding will hold a majority equity stake alongside leading US developer Related Companies and long-established Jersey City firm Panepinto Properties (the Joint Venture), marking a further milestone in the Group’s strategy to scale its diversified global portfolio.
Harborside 4, designed by Handel Architects, will bring 800 luxury rental apartments and condominiums to downtown Jersey City, with the building offering unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and premium lifestyle and hospitality amenities, including a marquee fitness club and concierge services.
The site is minutes from Manhattan via PATH cross-Hudson rail services and ferry connections, with retail, dining, and community amenities on the doorstep, including a Whole Foods market across the street.
The development scheme will feature approximately 75 percent of residential apartments being retained for rentals, generating stable recurring income, with the remaining approximately 25 percent being marketed as condos for sale.
The Modon Holding’s new joint venture will jointly oversee the development of the scheme, with Related leading development and construction management, leasing, and operations. Related contributes more than 50 years of integrated development and management expertise, with $70 billion in assets under management and over $20 billion in construction delivered over the past decade.
Panepinto Properties, which has delivered more than 17 million square feet of development in Jersey City since 1977, brings deep local knowledge and a long-standing commitment to the community in Jersey City. A consortium of banks led by J.P. Morgan will provide construction financing for the development scheme.
