"These areas continue to appeal to a diverse buyer profile, from young working professionals to empty nesters, who appreciate living amid urban charm and conveniences," says Robert Caulfield, a Fields principal. "In fact, demand for new homes here greatly outstrips supply. We're creating these new communities to help fill that void."
Notable among the various projects is the Waldo Lofts, a 12-story building in Jersey City that will contain 82 lofts along with a ground-floor retail component. The price tag for the project has been set at $22 million. Artist-related uses are a major component of the building.
"We've worked closely with the Jersey City planning board and the local artist community to incorporate a number of features into the building that are designed with the work/live needs of artists in mind," says James Caulfield Jr., another principal of the firm. "A portion of the retail space will be devoted to artists-related uses, for example, and the lobby of the building will be utilized as a gallery."
While initially being marketed directly to artists looking to live and work in the same space, the property's units will eventually be made available to the general public as well, according to Caulfield.
Besides the Waldo Lofts, other Fields projects being launched in the waterfront cities include 601 9th St. here, a 52-unit mid-rise condo complex. Also in Hoboken, the company is developing 615 Adams St., a 16-unit property. And in nearby Weehawken, Fields is developing 203 Hackensack Plank Rd., another 16-unit condominium property. Sites of the rest of the communities involved in Fields' current 550-unit push have not been announced.
