Close-Knit Community in a Luxury Building
New residents at The Devan are immediately welcomed into an active and luxury residential property. With high-end amenities and a calendar full of social events, renters quickly feel part of the community’s vibrant lifestyle.
“The Devan offers a creative new take on the luxury rental experience with a focus on design and communal spaces that encourage social involvement and interaction,” Rob Giannone, Director of Development for Fields Grade, which developed The Devan with Ursa Development Group, told The Hoboken Girl.
Outside the building, residents enjoy access to the vibrant dining, entertainment, + shopping scenes in Hoboken + Jersey City. Community events help create a social, neighborhood vibe inside the building, too.
The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, NJ Transit, and the PATH are close by, and residents get complimentary shuttle service to the Hoboken Terminal. Living at The Devan means easily accessing the best of Hudson County + Manhattan.
“With residents now living here, the building has quickly come to life and a synergy between the homes, amenities, and location is on full display,” Giannone said.
Resident-Only Events + High-End Amenity Spaces
The Devan is a new luxury building with vibrant indoor-outdoor spaces + social areas that seamlessly integrate into a live-work-play environment.
The building has a second-floor community space with active + passive courtyards and a pool. Residents can unwind and relax on the sundeck with lounge seating, grills, and fire pits — perfect for nights with friends and family. The rooftop has additional lounge seating + grills and the Sky Lounge has a kitchen, a terrace with Manhattan skyline views, + private rooms that can be rented for parties.
In addition to the sundeck, The Devan also features a state-of-the-art gym with a yoga + meditation studio, poker room, playroom, and dog run. Remote workers can use the co-working spaces + meeting rooms.
The lobby has a 24/7 doorman, a package system by Position Imaging, rentable scooters, a parking garage with EV chargers, and a Grab-N-Go room with home essentials + healthy treats from Tulu and Farmer’s Fridge.
During the warmer months, residents can attend ice cream socials, pool parties, and outdoor movie nights on the sundeck. In the fall, the building hosts cozy events by the fire pits, like an upcoming Wine Down Thursday event in November. Residents can look forward to seasonal events throughout the year, like a Halloween Party on the roof deck and an Apple Cider and Donut Fall Harvest in the lobby.
“It’s exciting to see residents embrace this vibrant building and fully enjoy all that it has to offer,” Suzanne Sciarra of Ursa Development Group LLC told The Hoboken Girl. “The Devan’s strong community spirit has been a key factor in our leasing success, which is bolstered by the engaging community events and seasonal activities that bring tenants together.”

Buzz about Just Friends first started in the Jersey City subreddit about 10 months ago, when several locals noticed signage for what looked to be a new bar/restaurant.
The post read: "Drove by and noticed a sign up for what looks like to be a new bar/restaurant on Monmouth St next to the Thirsty Quaker. It looks like it's called "Just Friends". Anyone know anything about this new potential spot?"
Months later, "Just Friends" is confirmed. The team told HG that the new cafe is BYO, and serves up Italian-American eats. HG is currently awaiting more info about specific menu items and will update this post with any additional details.
Locals can keep up with Just Friends on Instagram @justfriendsccafe_jc. While there are no posts as of this writing, the account has garnered just over 3,000 followers already.
The cafe is open 4PM-10PM daily, except Tuesdays.
