HOBOKEN, N.J., November 3, 2015 – Longtime residents and owners of one of Hoboken’s most creative and popular teaching and dining experiences, Allison and Allen Bari are part of the fabric that creates the dynamic urban lifestyle in this Hudson County City.
Just over a year ago the couple debuted Hudson Table, a one-of-a-kind recreational cooking studio, in Edge Lofts at 1403 Clinton Street. Looking for a new and fashionable address for their new restaurant and educational facility, the Bari’s were strongly drawn to the retail space in the boutique apartment building from Bijou Properties, a locally-based developer creating a sustainable and vibrant neighborhood in uptown Hoboken by introducing environmentally-conscience and cutting-edge buildings that significantly benefit the community-at-large.
The familiarity of Bijou Properties and firsthand experience with its quality, responsible development and fine craftsmanship would soon

play a key role when the Bari’s began looking for a new home close to their charming culinary studio. The couple’s first stop would be Bijou’s newest residential offering Park + Garden, a luxury rental building designed for LEED gold certification at 1450 Garden Street.
“As a retail tenant in Edge Lofts, we were well aware of Bijou Properties and had relationships with many of the local vendors and contractors who worked on Park + Garden,” Mrs. Bari says. “We could see the building rising from Hudson Table and were very interested in seeing it when completed.”
With its 212 well-appointed apartments and full suite of world-class amenities, Park + Garden did not disappoint. The Bari’s were one of the first to sign a lease when the building opened this summer.
“It had everything we we’re looking for, the view, amenities and location,” Mrs. Bari points out. “And we loved the fact it was on pace to be a LEED-certified building.”
Lined with designer finishes and eco-friendly features, the apartments at Park + Garden also impressed the Bari’s with a high level of luxury, style and comfort.
“The bamboo floors are stunning,” Mrs. Bari remarks. “Plus the huge windows. We have many guests comment on how much light we get and the amazing views. We also love the well-sized bath rooms. The apartments are contemporary, yet still have a homey feel to them!”
The Bari’s moved into their new home at Park + Garden this fall and are now enjoy a new home and lifestyle minutes from the work they love and in the heart of Hoboken’s most contemporary residential neighborhood and a premier entertainment and dining destination.
“It’s very convenient for us, since it’s about a four minute walk to Hudson Table,” Mrs. Bari says. “Once you walk out of Park + Garden you’re right by some of the best restaurants in town and close to the Hudson River waterfront where we frequent the pier and food trucks during the summer. We also love that the Garden Street Farmers Market is right outside our door as well, since it’s great for our business. Hoboken is a great fit for us since its young families, lots of dogs but also a bunch of great spots for nightlife. Park + Garden is a desirable area of Hoboken and we are very happy we chose this building!”
