“A” Building, 389 Washington
We dedicated an entire page to the A building, click here to see it
I have to admit that the “A Building” is one of my favorite new luxury high rise building in the Power Station Art District. If you want to live in the district and you are not so enamored by “loft living” than the Athena Condominiums , the official name for the “A Building” is very hard to beat. The building, like so many others in the district, owes it existence to the WALDO ( work and live overlay district), The act allowed for the previously prohibited zoning of residential and industrial usage in the same area. WALDO was adopted into the Jersey city zoning code in 2002 and was deleted in 2007.

Soaring 34 stories high the building has an elegant design with the sleek glass clad E and F line providing a balanced to the more traditional brick and terraces of the rest of the building. The first 6 are occupied mostly by mostly the parking garage, the lobby and the necessary administrative and maintenance rooms . The residences start on the the 7th floor and that is also where you’ll find the gym, the outdoor deck and the club room.
The floor plans from the 8th floor on up stay the same all the way to the 34th floor which is designated the Penthouse floor. The homes on the north end of the building , the F -line on the North East side and the E-line on the North-West side , have floor to ceiling windows and a smaller terrace on the north side of the building. Both lines are two bedroom homes. The floor to ceiling windows on the F line make great use of the building’s location offering stunning Manhattan skyline and river views.
The F Line affords residents spectacular sunsets and oblique views of Midtown Manhattan. At the other end of the building there are the two other two bedroom lines, the K-line and the A-line. Unlike the F and E lines, both K and A lines have large wrap around terraces instead of the floor to ceiling windows and consequently slightly less interior living space- but the same total square footage. The K line on the South-east side of the building has incredible Manhattan and river views which residence can enjoy while sipping a beverage or having an alfresco dinner on the terrace. The higher floor homes, say above the 30th floor or so on both on the K and A line have drop dead gorgeous views of the harbor including the Verazano bridge and the majestic Statue of Liberty. In between the four two. bedroom lines that anchor the building at all four corners are the one bedroom lines, B, C and D on the west side offering sunset views and G, H, and J on the east side of the building offering Manhattan skyline and river views. All the one bedroom lines also have terraces.
