Construction is in the final stretch on Southend Lofts, a major adaptive reuse residential development rising at 38 Jackson Street in Hoboken, New Jersey. The eight-story project from The Taurasi Group, designed by Nastasi Architects, will bring 110 modern condominiums to Hoboken’s fast-growing southwest neighborhood, with initial occupancy expected before the end of the year.
The development centers on the transformation of a historic 1893 industrial building, once home to the Davis Baking Powder and My-T-Fine Pudding factory. The original structure’s brick façade and signature industrial character have been preserved, while newly constructed nine-story extensions allow for a much larger residential footprint.
Inside, units range from one to five bedrooms and feature oversized factory-style windows, exposed concrete columns, and ceiling heights up to 15 feet — design elements that reflect the building’s manufacturing heritage. Many residences include private balconies or terraces, while penthouse units offer duplex layouts, expansive outdoor kitchens, and skyline-view terraces.
Residents will have access to more than 20,000 square feet of amenities, including:
A central public atrium will anchor the ground-level retail and restaurant offerings. The space is being covered by a striking translucent PTFE canopy, designed to bring in natural light year-round while creating a weather-protected destination for dining and social activity.
Southend Lofts sits directly across from Southwest Resiliency Park, a hub for recreation that includes playgrounds, dog areas, sports spaces, and stormwater-management infrastructure designed to improve neighborhood flood resilience. The location also gives residents easy access to regional transit connections with PATH, ferry services, bus routes, and major roadways including the Holland Tunnel and New Jersey Turnpike close by.
As Hoboken continues to convert former industrial districts into mixed-use communities, Southend Lofts marks one of the city’s most significant adaptive reuse efforts to date — blending historic preservation with contemporary urban living.
Leasing and sales details are expected to be released as the project prepares for its first residents later in 2025.
