Avison Young announces two new long-term leases totaling 64,066 square feet with City Fitness in Hoboken, New Jersey

The locations mark the first in the state of New Jersey for the Philadelphia-based well-being brand

Hoboken, NJ – Global commercial real estate advisor, Avison Young, today announces it has executed two new leases totaling 64,066-square feet (sf) on behalf of City Fitness in Hoboken, NJ. The two locations mark the first in the state of New Jersey for City Fitness, a Philadelphia-based fitness and well-being brand known for its thoughtful, people-first approach. The new clubs are expected to open in late 2026.

Avison Young Principal Scott Martin represented City Fitness on both transactions.

“I am privileged to represent City Fitness on these two new locations in Hoboken with further expansion to come in Jersey City and elsewhere,” said Martin. “City Fitness is a true innovator and disrupter, promoting a high-end neighborhood fitness concept and lifestyle at a reasonable price.”

Hoboken offers an ideal setting for a new gym due to its dense, affluent, and health-conscious population—particularly at 1000 Maxwell Lane and 38 Jackson Street. Both locations sit within vibrant residential and mixed-use developments, ensuring a built-in customer base that is diverse and community-minded, with a strong preference for convenience and premium fitness amenities. The city’s exceptional walkability and robust transit options—PATH, ferry, bus, and light rail—drive steady foot traffic from residents and commuters, while limited car reliance heightens demand for neighborhood gyms. Coupled with ongoing residential growth, strong retail synergies, and proven interest in high-end fitness concepts, these sites are well positioned to capture recurring memberships and establish lasting brand visibility.

Following is information on each new Hoboken, NJ location:

• City Fitness – Maxwell Place: A 39,066-sf location at 1000 Maxwell Lane, situated within the prestigious Maxwell Place, a well-established mixed-use community in uptown Hoboken. The property is located near the intersection of Frank Sinatra Drive and Hudson Street, adjacent to Elysian Park and Maxwell Place Park, and one block from Washington Street’s retail and dining corridor. The location offers strong visibility and access within one of Hoboken’s most active residential areas.

The landlord, Asana Partners was represented by Matt McDonagh of JLL.

• City Fitness – Southend: A 25,000-sf location at 38 Jackson Street, within Southend Hoboken, a new mixed-use community comprising 110 residential condominium homes known as Southend Lofts, along with 100,000 square feet of neighborhood retail and commercial space.  The modern conversion of a historic factory occupies a full city block at the intersection of Jackson Street and Observer Highway, directly across from the recently completed Southwest Resiliency Park, providing convenient access from both Hoboken and Jersey City.

The landlord is The Taurasi Group.

“City Fitness has built a loyal following by focusing not just on fitness, but on the full experience of well-being — physical, mental, and social. That’s what we’re excited to bring to Hoboken,” said Ken Davies, Founder & CEO of City Fitness. “This expansion reflects a continued commitment to creating welcoming spaces that support long-term health and happiness in our communities.”

The upcoming Hoboken locations will embody City Fitness’s commitment to creating spaces that prioritize well-being and balance. From the first day of membership to the thoughtful layout of each studio, every detail is designed to foster autonomy and a sense of ease—never pressure. While specific amenities and programming will be announced soon, the focus remains on delivering a holistic fitness experience that feels modern, welcoming, and genuinely supportive for people of all backgrounds and fitness levels.
