What's the Situation?

A post first came to light in August 2024 on LinkedIn by Bobby Antonicello Jr., a local Commercial Real Estate Broker/Advisor, who detailed the deal he brokered for the retail chain to open in Hoboken. It was shared by local Instagram account @hobokengossip shortly thereafter.

"It was great working with Hilary Sievers and her team from JLL to bring Abercrombie & Fitch Co. to Washington Street in Hoboken! A&F will occupy the entire ground floor of the newly constructed Hoboken House on the corner of 3rd and Washington," he shared on his LinkedIn page.

We previously spoke directly with Bobby Antonicello Jr. of Grid Real Estate, who shared limited additional details on the new 5,000-square-foot space for Abercrombie space. "The developer had a vision for the retail space at the old Arthur's, and wanted something that would be great and new for Hoboken and the surrounding businesses of Washington Street," Bobby shared exclusively with The Hoboken Girl.

As of March 2024, signage is now up in the forthcoming Abercrombie & Fitch space in Hoboken that says "COMING SOON." This post will be updated with any further details surrounding its arrival in town.

Is Arthur's Coming Back?

While the rumblings shared with The Hoboken Girl last summer pointed to Arthur's returning after 18 months of construction, instead, Abercrombie will be coming to the space in its place.

The Hoboken House is the new name for 235-237 Washington Street, where Arthur's was formerly located. Known for its "famous" garlic bread — which, according to plans, is now available for retail leasing space. In an online PDF, Grid Real Estate shared availability for leasing retail space, "Hoboken House is a state-of-the-art 5-story, 18 unit residential development on Hoboken’s busy Washington Street with 4,870 square feet of ground floor retail with 3 sides of expansive frontage and operational basement space. Situated on a high exposure signalized corner, this space sits directly across from McDonald’s, Nike and Bluemercury and is among many national tenants within a 1 block radius that consists of Starbucks, Chipotle, Lululemon, Sephora," the advert reads.

Abercrombie & Fitch will be coming to the ground-level location at the corner, where Arthur's Tavern used to reside, according to Bobby, who helped broker the deal.

The owners of Arthur's, also owners of the building, Wanda and Dave Jacey, have been contacted and this story will be updated with any additional comments.
