The Oakman

In 1907, architect john oakman created the iconic jersey city landmark — the h&m powerhouse. Oakman and his designs lived during a golden age of ingenuity and lasting artistry. Today, the magnificent structure that opened easy rail access to Manhattan stands as the center of its own vibrant community — the powerhouse arts district.

It is this legacy of craftsmanship and gilded living which inspired the philosophy behind the oakman. We’ve re-imagined turn-of-the-century opulence, integrating it seamlessly with modern inventions such as eco- friendly level 3 car charging stations and luxury fixtures like bertazzoni ranges and italian-made pedini cabinets.

At the oakman, penthouses and balcony apartments come alive with a rotating art gallery on every floor. You’ll experience all the quintessential conveniences (such as a doorman, roof deck, and full-service gym) while living amidst cobblestone streets in a bohemian neighborhood bustling with artists and creatives.

Positioned in the center of the arts district, the oakman invites the traditions of 1907 to visit us in present day jersey cIty. Experience the natural evolution of grandeur and live a more inspired life.
