Currently there are three major downtown Jersey City waterfront high-rise condos which are currently being sold as new construction. They are 77 Hudson, Crystal Point, and Trump Plaza Residences. I find that many buyers who look at one of these buildings usually has interest in seeing the others. Commons questions that I hear are regarding the taxes and the maintenance fees for each of these buildings.
