Developer Modon Holding has entered the US residential market through a joint venture.

The Abu Dhabi company will hold a majority equity stake alongside Related Companies and Panepinto Properties in a venture to develop waterfront properties in downtown Jersey City, Modon said in a statement to the Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange.

The partners will deliver a 54-storey residential tower consisting of 800 rental apartments and condos by the first quarter of 2029. Construction will begin in the first quarter of 2026, the company said.

The site is connected to Manhattan via the PATH rail system and is close to retail, dining and other community amenities, it said.

The joint venture will oversee the property development along with leasing and operations. The project will be financed by a consortium of banks led by JP Morgan.

Related Companies has more than $70 billion in assets under management and delivered $20 billion of construction in the past decade. Panepinto Properties has delivered more than 17 million square feet of development in Jersey City since 1977.
