The Lively + Nimbus Arts Center

Jersey City’s liveliest neighborhood is the Powerhouse Arts District. It’s no coincidence that luxury rental, the Lively, offering studios to three-bedrooms, is named so, given the breadth of cultural, recreational, and social activities taking place inside and outside the building. In fact, the Nimbus Dance Company is housed within the mixed-use podium and is situated behind a glass curtain wall along with a 150-seat black box theater, dance studio, rehearsal space, and triple-height lobby that doubles as an event space.

The building is distinguished by its ivory brick and glass façade accented by a bronze frame motif. The façade exudes its own energy created by the multi-story window bands that are arranged in a syncopated pattern.

The top floor of the tower is equally active and offers resort-like amenities, including a fitness room, communal dining space, library, game room, lounge, co-working space, children’s playroom, roof deck with pool and dining areas.
