Garden Street Lofts
Garden Street Lofts is Hoboken’s green landmark: a 1920 industrial building reborn as 29 boutique lofts and the city’s first LEED-certified structure, a block off the uptown 14th Street corridor.
Garden Street Lofts is the smallest of Hoboken’s loft buildings and the one with the most devoted owners: 29 homes in a 1920 industrial building on the uptown grid, converted in 2008 and 2009 as the city’s first LEED certified structure, with a doorman, a roof terrace, and deeded parking a block away. I sold a third floor home here for $1,300,000 in 2026, and the building is a good example of why a boutique loft can hold its value against much bigger addresses.

What Garden Street Lofts is like to live in
With 29 homes, this is a building where the doorman knows every resident and the association is the owners themselves. The lofts have the proportions of the factory (tall ceilings, big windows, open plans) with an environmentally conscious conversion that keeps utility bills lower than most Hoboken condos of the same size. The roof terrace is the amenity, and it is a good one, looking over the uptown rooftops to the river and the skyline. The block is quiet, one row off Washington Street’s uptown strip, with the ferry and the waterfront parks a few minutes east.
What sets the price
Size and layout first: the building has one to three bedroom homes from about 1,050 to 2,350 sq ft, and the largest homes are among the few true three bedroom lofts in Hoboken. Floor and light second: the upper floors with east or south exposure carry the premium. Parking third: a deeded space in the nearby garage is part of the value for the homes that have one. Because there are only 29 homes, comparable sales are scarce; pricing here leans on the other uptown lofts (Hudson Tea, Harborside, Wonder Lofts) adjusted for the boutique scale.

The building’s price band runs from about $825,000 for the smallest one bedrooms to well over $3 million for the largest homes.
What buyers should know
A small association means small reserves; read the budget and the reserve study carefully and ask how the roof, elevator, and facade work is funded. Confirm whether the home comes with a deeded parking space. Understand that with 29 homes, inventory is rare, so if you want this building, be ready when a unit lists. Model the true monthly number with the actual taxes and dues.
What sellers should know
Scarcity is your advantage. Buyers who want a boutique loft in uptown Hoboken have very few options, so exposure to the loft buyer pool (people touring Hudson Tea and Harborside) and a price set from the uptown loft comps rather than the building’s thin history is the play. Lead with the ceilings, the light, the roof, and the LEED story.
