The Hudson Greene (also known as 77 Hudson Street) is an apartment complex in Jersey City, New Jersey. It consists of the Hudson Greene - East Tower (77 Hudson), condominiums, and the Hudson Greene - West Tower (70 Greene Apartments), which are rental apartments. Both have 48 floors and are 500 ft (152m) tall. Construction on the towers began on June 25, 2006, and was completed in 2010. The complex has 420 residences and 19,000 square feet (1,800 m2) of street-level retail space. The building was designed by the architectural firm CetraRuddy.
Building construction was beset with several catastrophes. A fire on the West Tower in October 2007 delayed construction. Fighting the fire proved difficult due to the stage of construction and status of floors and standpipes. Five months later, in March 2008, a construction worker fell 14 floors to his death.

“However great a man’s fear of life, suicide remains the courageous act, the clear- headed act of a mathematician. The suicide has judged by the laws of chance—so many odds against one that to live will be more miserable than to die. His sense of mathematics is greater than his sense of survival.”
—Graham Greene (1904–1991)
