JERSEY CITY, N.J. — June 06, 2024 – JRM Construction Management, a leader in innovative construction solutions, proudly announces the completion of the Birch House at 49 Fisk Street. This new multifamily development embodies cutting-edge design and sustainable living in the heart of Jersey City's emerging West Side submarket, marking a significant milestone in local real estate development.

The expansive project spans over 322,750 square feet and features a six-story building with 337 multifamily units, including a mix of studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments. Birch House, a unique blend of luxury and practicality, is designed to cater to the modern resident with a full suite of Class A amenities such as a fitness center, work lounge, game room, speakeasy bar lounge, and an expansive courtyard pavilion and roof deck, all aimed at enhancing resident health and wellness and the potential for hybrid work models.

Constructed with precision, the building employs advanced construction techniques, including spread footings, grade beams, a CIP podium, and Com-Slab 14ga x-braced metal framing. The architectural finesse extends to the exterior with private balconies, brick and metal panels, cement fiberboards, and aluminum-clad windows, ensuring durability and aesthetic appeal.
