Rivet Collection is a two-building Jersey City complex where every home has in-unit laundry, a dishwasher and tenant-controlled HVAC. Residents share two gyms with sauna and cold plunge, large courtyards and roof terraces, and structured garages. Entry is by virtual intercom rather than a staffed doorman, and there is no pool.
