The Modern at Fort Lee is a 46-story residential development at the foot of the George Washington Bridge in New Jersey. This major landmark, taller and more prominent than any other building in the area, reaches higher than any other residential building in New Jersey and clearly visible from Manhattan. Rising from a podium above the Palisades cliffs and the Hudson River, The Modern makes a striking, iconic statement that speaks of the clean, classic lines of timeless design and the drama of their natural setting. Easy access to Manhattan plus magnificent views of the Hudson River and the iconic George Washington Bridge and the promise of a cosmopolitan lifestyle in a mix of residences, retail, and dining make The Modern a highly desirable place to live. The Modern’s glass tower contains 450 apartments and four levels of structured parking, ancillary facilities, and amenities related to residential use. Ranging in size from studios to three-bedroom units, the apartments are each a warm, sophisticated home with floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular views.
