“From day one, we knew The Current on River would be the pinnacle of the city of Hackensack’s rebirth,” said Bryan Hekemian, principal of Hekemian& Co. “People from across Hackensack, the state of New Jersey, New York City, and even around the U.S. now call The Current on River home – exactly as we envisioned.”

Residents and guests take note of the spectacular design the moment they step into the grand lobby. Common spaces are outfitted with details that pay homage to the city’s rich past, like exposed brick, and finished with modern furniture and lighting that call to Hackensack’s promising future.

“The Current on River is the gateway to Hackensack’s bright future, and we wanted to express that visually at every turn,” Hekemian said, noting that Hekemian& Co. has been a presence in the city for more than 80 years. “We put great care and thought into every detail of this building, from the grand lobby to the outdoor lounges. We have raised the bar on luxury and the amenities in the market.”
