For buyers who want something with more character than a traditional high-rise, Hudson Tea is one of Hoboken’s most recognizable condo communities. Set along the uptown waterfront, this converted factory blends historic architecture, loft-style residences, and full-service convenience in one of the city’s most desirable locations.
Once home to the Lipton Tea factory, Hudson Tea was restored and converted into upscale condominiums in 2005 by Toll Brothers. Today, the community offers a distinct mix of industrial character and modern Hoboken waterfront living.
A Factory Conversion with Lasting Appeal
Hudson Tea spans two addresses: 1500 Washington Street and 1500 Hudson Street. Together, the two buildings include approximately 525 residences, with 278 units at Washington Street and 247 units at Hudson Street.
Unlike newer glass towers, Hudson Tea has a more textured, historic feel. The building’s oversized windows, soaring ceilings, and exposed structural details give many homes the open, airy character buyers often look for in converted industrial buildings.
That combination of history, scale, and waterfront access is a major part of what keeps Hudson Tea in demand.
Loft-Style Residences with Hoboken Character
Homes at Hudson Tea include studio, one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and three-bedroom layouts. Many residences feature open floor plans, large picture windows, and ceilings that reach approximately 12 to 13 feet.
Depending on the residence, buyers may find:
- Loft-style open layouts
- Oversized picture windows
- High ceilings
- Exposed beams or industrial details
- Modern kitchens with high-end appliances
- In-unit laundry
- Generous closet space
- Select homes with private terraces, custom finishes, or skyline views
The overall feel is polished but not generic. Hudson Tea offers the kind of residence that feels connected to Hoboken’s past while still meeting the needs of today’s condo buyer.
Amenities Made for Everyday Living
Hudson Tea offers a strong amenity package designed around convenience, service, and community. Residents have access to many of the features buyers expect from a premier Hoboken condo building, including:
- 24/7 concierge and doorman service
- Fitness facilities
- Children’s playroom

- Business, co-working, and conference spaces
- Private shuttle service to the Hoboken PATH station

Uptown Hoboken Waterfront Location
Hudson Tea sits along Hoboken’s waterfront at the edge of Weehawken Cove, giving residents easy access to the waterfront promenade, parks, restaurants, cafés, shops, ferry service, local buses, and the Hoboken PATH station by shuttle or walking.
The location offers a slightly quieter uptown feel while still keeping residents close to the energy and convenience Hoboken is known for. With a reported Walk Score of 83, Hudson Tea works especially well for buyers who want a connected lifestyle with access to both neighborhood amenities and Manhattan transportation.
