Put "2 sixth street, jersey city" in Google Maps. It's that whole slip.

Really excited about the relatively low rise but dense Bayfront project on our far west side between Route 440 and the Hackensack River. Going to have a major affordable component, primarily between 20-60% of median income.. a true mixed income development which is welcome but sorely underutilized...certainly not seen much if at all downtown and for whatever reason even in the otherwise laudable development of the rest of the West side area, virtually ignored which is appalling.
1,092 units in the first stage, which is to start after infrastructure work is done starting this fall...386 of which will be deemed affordable. First project is 16 acres... early renderings suggest several apartment towers between 5-12 stories with significant greenery in the center of the development.

Yeah, Bayfront is going to be awesome! It will eventually be home to 16,000 to 20,000 people.
They're saying it will be 8,000 units now, but I will not be surprised if that number creeps up though the years. It's going to be way too attractive if a developer promises to build a school or something in exchange for extra density.
Even if 1 percent of the residents are school-aged kids, that's still a couple hundred new students that need to be housed somewhere.
