Pre-leasing is underway at Atlas, introducing a collection of 169 rental residences, contemporary amenities, and spectacular views in Jersey City’s Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood.
Perched on an elevated site at 270 Johnston Avenue, the 24-story building – the tallest in the neighborhood – opens with well-appointed studios, one-, two- and three-bedroom residences. Many homes feature private balconies that extend the living spaces outdoors while maximizing uninterrupted views of the Statue of Liberty, Liberty Harbor, Liberty State Park, and the Manhattan skyline.
Monthly rents start at $2,729, including limited-time grand opening incentives of up to two months free on select homes. Initial occupancy is scheduled for January, 2024.
Atlas represents a collaboration between Alpine Residential and Fields Grade, known for their commitment to enriching Bergen-Lafayette with new residential buildings and supportive street-level retail space. The building’s leasing program and management is handled by Alpine’s affiliated management company, South Oxford Management.
“Atlas embodies our dedication to enhancing the urban lifestyle in Bergen-Lafayette,” said William Rosato, Managing Partner of Alpine Residential. “With its well-appointed residences, thoughtful amenities, and a commitment to the local arts scene, Atlas promises to be a vibrant addition to this dynamic neighborhood, offering residents a unique and elevated living experience.”
Designed by MHS Architecture and featuring interiors by GRT Architecture, the distinct property draws inspiration from the neighborhood’s post-industrial roots while engaging with the Jersey City waterfront and the New York City skyline.

Artistry on Display: A Vibrant Canvas within Atlas
Atlas seamlessly integrates into Jersey City’s cultural fabric by showcasing a thoughtfully curated collection of artwork throughout the property, exclusively created by local Jersey City artists. This diverse compilation, inspired by vibrant graffiti art, celebrates the immigrant experience in contemporary American art. On the 24th floor, these artistic expressions beautifully complement the breathtaking Hudson River views, creating a visual masterpiece for residents to enjoy.
A Hidden Gem
Lying just west of Downtown Jersey City, Bergen-Lafayette is celebrated for its neighborhood feel, vibrant art scene, walkability, and numerous restaurants, bars, shops, and parks. The neighborhood has benefited from significant investment and city-backed infrastructure improvements, including the extension of Jersey Avenue for pedestrians, bicyclists and vehicular traffic that have created better connections to downtown, while existing light rail service links the neighborhood to PATH trains and ferry terminals and ultimately, Manhattan.
For outdoor recreation, Liberty State Park offers a green oasis in the middle of the metropolis with more than 1,200 acres of open space, a two-mile waterfront promenade, an outdoor performance area, and a restaurant with sweeping views of the Hudson River, Manhattan skyline and Statue of Liberty. The park also offers a full-service marina, ferry service to Manhattan, charter boat excursions and maritime sightseeing tours. Also anchoring the neighborhood is the Liberty Science Center with its ever-evolving interactive museum experience, and future SciTech Scity.
