JERSEY CITY ? With a knife and a giant pair of scissors, Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop made official the opening of the Hague during Saturday's "Beacon Birthday" celebration.

The leasing of the new luxury apartment building marks the total fulfillment of a long, ambitious, sometimes-troubled dream to turn a shuttered Art Deco-style hospital fully into "The Beacon," an eight-unit complex of condos and market rate apartments. The last of those buildings to be opened was the Hague.

First, Fulop cut the red ribbon to the entryway of the building. Then he cut the cake, a fondant-wrapped replica of the Hague building crafted by Carlo's Bakery.
