Reason: The opening of the Hendrix Hotel marks the completion of nearly three decades of development work to bring guests an architecturally impressive and vibrant living experience just steps from Grove Street, the heart of downtown Jersey City. The slender 41-story tower offers studio, 1-, 2-, and 3-bedroom apartments; many residences come with terraces for unobstructed views. The 40th and 41st floors consist of penthouses. Other amenities in the apartments include Wi-Fi-connected Bosch washers and dryers, hybrid ovens with convection and air fryer functions, walk-in closets, and consistent design elements that give the entire building the same character and charm. The architectural elements of the Hendrix Hotel have been carefully designed. In addition to the convenience store and the Australian and internationally renowned Bourke Street Bakery, the building will also feature a custom-made public theater and art gallery operated by Jersey City arts organization Art House Productions. The glowing glass rooftop panels and fitted tent will transform The Hendrix Hotel into a community arts beacon for the downtown Jersey City neighborhood at dusk.
