Looks like there is activity at 700 Washington Blvd site. The site is part of Newport. They had renderings up on a billboard at the site for many years, but that sign was removed recently. They are wrapping up on Ellipse, so it is possible they are starting the next big project now.

To me this is one of the best sites available. It is enormous and is very close to Hoboken PATH, light rail, ferries, and trains. So much potential here.

I first noticed a couple weeks ago they took down the concrete mixing operation that was on site for at least 5 years. The past two weeks they've been doing lots of excavation of some sort. Will keep an eye on it for more progress or hints at plans.
