LOCATION & MARKET OVERVIEW
Fort Lee, New Jersey (Bergen County) is experiencing a sustained revitalization driven by new luxury residential towers, expanded dining and retail, and robust demand from professionals seeking Manhattan-adjacent living at lower cost. The borough's population exceeds 40,000, with a median household income of approximately $101,500 and a growing base of young professionals and families.
Hudson Lights — The Neighborhood Catalyst
The Hudson Lights development — a 1 million SF mixed-use complex at 2030 Hudson Street — has been the centerpiece of Fort Lee's transformation since its 2016 debut. The 276-unit luxury residential tower sold for $116.5 million in 2022, underscoring institutional confidence in the submarket. Hudson Lights Phase II (a 26-story apartment tower with additional commercial space) is planned for an adjacent parcel, further cementing Fort Lee's position as North Jersey's premier waterfront destination.
2045 Lemoine Avenue sits directly across from this complex, uniquely positioned to capture the spending power of Hudson Lights' growing residential base and the thousands of daily commuters passing through the George Washington Bridge corridor.
