The Cove Jersey City is a breakthrough lifestyle community for the twenty-first century driven by science. A global hub for academic and commercial life science, tech, and medical entities, it offers an unrivalled environment for fostering discovery while also building a local ecosystem on the principles of sustainability, health and wellness, and social equity. As the flagship destination for the sciences in New Jersey and the greater New York metropolitan area, The Cove drives economic growth for all.

The Cove is a super-connected live–work–play community just minutes from Manhattan.

Spreading across some 13 acres, the mixed-use live-work-play campus features flexible, state-of-the-art workspaces alongside residences, dynamic amenities, ample green spaces, and expansive parkland on the Hudson River.

It also includes retail, restaurants, and bars, along with easy access to mass transit, rail, ferries, and international airports. It comprises more than 1.4 milion square feet of laboratory, technology, and commercial spaces; 1.6 million square feet of residences, and parking.

The Cove will be among the first regenerative, state-of-the-art carbon-neutral neighborhoods designed to leverage reclamation, renewal, and resiliency.

Time is right.

Given the changes of the last decade or even the last year, The Cove demonstrates the opportunity—if not the obligation—to redefine the innovation districts for the twenty-first century. Going one step beyond traditional innovation districts, The Cove advances scientific research while also supporting healthy, prosperous, and holistic ways of working and living.

The Cove creates a single, interconnected network to advance scientific research and build a robust and healthy society. In addition, it creates a strong brand experience and community identity that aids in attracting tenants, recruiting employees, and appealing to residents.
