Yup, you can own a parking space at 77H but you have to pay $20,000 for that space in adddition to the price you pay for the unit. At CP, you don't pay anything for the parking previlege:it is already included in your HOA fee, which is already much lower than the same for 77H per sqft. E.G, based on my unit at CP, the monthly HOA fee is $0.57/sqft. You do the math for 77H and see what's the difference. With regard o the distance to the path station, it is true that it takes 3 more minitues to walk to the exchange place station. But I find it odd to make such a big deal out it in the whole grand scheme of life: it's just about 7 minutes walking from CP to the exchange place station in total after all. Well, with any advantage comes a disadvantage which none of the 77 H owners would mention: while 77 H is closer to the exchange place station, CP is about equi-distance between new-port station and exchange place station. It takes about 8+ minutes to go to the new port station if you want travle to Midtown Manhattan. For 77 H owners, I don't think it would even be a choice for them at all. As for the ferry, I don't even give a damn, because I am not depending on it for daily commute to NYC. Neither should you, unless you prefer to take the ferry service. For very occational use of the ferry service (may once in a month, for whatever reasons), I don't think 10 to 12 minutes walk from CP should be that much of a problem. You mentioned secluded surroundings of CP as if it is a disadvantage. You got to be kidding yourself. It's one of the selling point for CP that affords people to enjoy the waterfront and the unterrupted view of the entire Manhattan skyline in a nice and private place with minimum foot traffic (except for a few joggers on the boardwalk) most of the time. |

Besides, for CP owners, walking back and force between the CP building and the station stays on the waterfront boardwalk. For 77H owners, you need to cross the rail. There is a good reason why CP sold out within 2 years. When everything considered, it's definitely a superior choice. Now that CP is almost sold out, there is no point of 77H owners bad mouthing CP any more. With CP off the market, 77H is defintely one of the best waterfron properties to consider. Much better than the Trump tower or Mandalay, etc. |

The faster pace of sales at CP are not really a surprise. Its not that CP is necessarily better than 77H, but certainly the price point is when all things are considered. First, CP has a much better tax abatement, Second, the maintenance fees are lower with comparable services. Third, the price of one parking spot is included with the purchase. And finally, the price per square foot is lower than 77H. Lets face it, location is not drastically different, the amenities and services are very similar, and finishes, while different, are of comparable quality. The faster pace of sales for CP is strictly attributable to price point/carrying cost. |

I somewhat feel for 77H owners, but just spell it out, men. Overall CP is better deal, and that's why they are selling faster. "price point/carrying cost" is exactly what makes CP BETTER than 77H. The vague location benefits are just a joke as you can get condo in Manhattan for the price. Same cannot be said for CP's view. The view makes CP unique, and makes it understandable that people who can afford to live in Manhattan still may want to live there. For same money, CP owner can simply renovate to exceed the vague quality difference as well.
It's one thing to overpay by 30% during the peak of the bubble, but it is just dumb to pay that premium now. 77H is overpriced. It's not even the matter of location or quality. You will not get what you pay for with 77H. Quote:

well CP is in newport while 77 hudson is jersey city, paulus hook area that looks mor elike west village with cute restaurants.
around CP are all crap franchises restaurants. CP is in very commercial zone and not fully glass building plus amenities are better at 77H and closeness to the train. It is water taxi in front of building too if you want to take water taxi. CP is in newport which is nice area but mostly indians. Not that I have something against indians. I am a white guy who like a mix of different people. 77 HP even if you look towards city you still see marina and have nice view. IN CP if you look towards newport and not manhattan you see crap. Plus you have own garage in 77H which is a huge deal due that you do need car in jersey. If you look from 77H to east you see CITY, to SOUTH YOU SEE VEREZANO BRIDGE AND STATUE OF LIBERTY and to the west you see MARINA and city views. Plus to build 77 H cost more due to quality of building and materials. CP is made cheeper thus the price is cheaper. in all three state area you wont find better building that 77H. Look around so much you want. It does not exist glass building like 77H While Jersey City is full of buildings that are similar look like CP. On the end you have pluses and minuses and you gotta decide what you want. |

77 H is in very good location to the Path but the area is dead on the weekends and evenings. I like PH or Newport better.

Folks... Stop arguing about opinions and focus on the concrete facts. According to the official sales records, that war is over. CP won by a very very wide margin. Concrete sales numbers are the bottom line. It indicates which building offers the best value in the opinion of hundreds of buyers who did a lot of due diligence, considered all the relevant aspects and finally made a choice. CP is now full of those buyers. Almost all of them visited and compared 77H and finally concluded it was not worth it.
Meanwhile, 77H is still struggling to sell. Now that CP is sold out, the expectation would be for 77H to be selling a lot faster than it is. |

Well, don't make your hopeful statement while requesting others to make statements on concrete facts.
