One Eighty Ocean Breaks Ground

DeSimone joined construction crews and design team members to celebrate the groundbreaking of One Eighty Ocean, a seven-story, boutique condominium building set on the Jersey shore waterfront in Long Branch, just south of the Pier Village dining, retail, and boardwalk district.

The cascading, contemporary silhouette of the stepped, reinforced concrete residences, features floor-to-ceiling windows to maximize views and natural light. On the facade, concrete balconies clad in stone form horizontal visual bands that punctuate and integrate with the glass panel and aluminum curtain wall.

DeSimone’s structural engineers designed long spans for expansive, open living spaces and sweeping views, while resolving tricky transfer conditions between floor plates as they step back to create some of the largest private terraces in the area.

The reinforced structural framing, designed to withstand high coastal winds, will support a rooftop pool and multi-level wellness amenities. Deep foundation piles address sandy soils, working in tandem with robust waterproofing systems to resist hydrostatic pressure associated with the site's high water table.

Designed by MHS Architects and developed by Kushner, full delivery of One Eighty Ocean’s 39 luxury residences is expected in late 2028.
