ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Modon Holding PSC (“Modon”) today announced a new joint venture to deliver Harborside 4, a 54-story residential tower on one of the last prime waterfront sites in downtown Jersey City, New Jersey, USA. Modon will hold a majority equity stake alongside leading US developer Related Companies and long-established Jersey City firm Panepinto Properties (the “Joint Venture”), marking a further milestone in the Group’s strategy to scale its diversified global portfolio.

Harborside 4, designed by Handel Architects, will bring 800 luxury rental apartments and condominiums to downtown Jersey City, with the building offering unobstructed views of the Manhattan skyline and premium lifestyle and hospitality amenities including a marquee fitness club and concierge services. The site is minutes from Manhattan via PATH cross-Hudson rail services and ferry connections, with retail, dining and community amenities on the doorstep, including a Whole Foods market across the street. The development scheme will feature approximately 75% of residential apartments being retained for rentals generating stable recurring income, with the remaining approximately 25% being marketed as condos for sale. Construction is set to begin in Q1 2026, with completion targeted in Q1 2029.

The joint venture will jointly oversee the development of the scheme, with Related leading development and construction management, leasing and operations. Related contributes more than 50 years of integrated development and management expertise, with $70 billion in assets under management and over $20 billion in construction delivered over the past decade. Panepinto Properties, which has delivered more than 17 million square feet of development in Jersey City since 1977, brings deep local knowledge and a long-standing commitment to the community in Jersey City. A consortium of banks led by J.P. Morgan will provide construction financing for the development scheme.

H.E. Jassem Mohamed Bu Ataba Al Zaabi, Chairman of Modon Holding, said: “Harborside 4 is a natural progression in Modon’s global expansion, reflecting our commitment to investing in high-potential assets that create long-term value. Partnering with Related and Panepinto brings together institutions with the expertise and ambition to help shape vibrant, future-ready communities, and reinforces Modon’s position as a trusted international investment partner. This venture strengthens our international portfolio, supports our diversification strategy, and underscores Modon’s vision to develop high-quality urban destinations in key global markets.”

Bill O’Regan, Group CEO of Modon Holding, said: “Harborside 4 aligns strongly with our international growth strategy, combining a prime development opportunity with a structured delivery plan and partners with deep capability and Modon’s goal to enhance its long-term recurring income. Related’s operational strength and Panepinto’s local knowledge create a platform engineered for design excellence and disciplined execution. We will work hand-in-hand with Related and Panepinto to oversee all critical phases of the development, contributing to Harborside becoming a well-run, high-performing community over the long term. This investment reinforces our vision to build and enhance the resilience of our diversified global portfolio.”

Bruce A. Beal, Jr, President of Related Companies, said: “We are pleased to be partnering with the team at Modon Holding to bring this exciting project to life.
