All three options permit one-high rise tower in District 2 of the Marin Boulevard Redevelopment Area, but with different options for height and the number of residential units and hotel rooms. The rest of the redevelopment area is zoned R-4 residential, as well as for railroad and trail use.
I really hope this happens so the High Line-style embankment project can begin. Now if they could just figure something out to save the Powerhouse...
Taller Development Approved at Jersey City Unleashed Site
Quote:
A proposal to revitalize a former pet spa near the Holland Tunnel feeder roads will now be a bit higher as officials greenlit revamped plans that will add more retail space to the neighborhood.
Jersey City’s Planning Board initially approved plans to revitalize the former home of Jersey City Unleashed about a year ago. The properties, spanning 619 Marin Boulevard, 173-183 Sixteenth Street, and 180 Fifteenth Street, were purchased by Pegasus Partners back in 2019.
The board approved changes to the application late this summer that will now allow two towers rising 17 stories and 169 feet tall each. The changes were mostly due to the elimination of an automated parking garage included in the past plan in favor of a standard facility.
The residential component skews a bit smaller, breaking down as 176 studios, 309 one-bedrooms, 80 two-bedrooms, and 48 three-bedroom units. An increase to 239 parking spaces in a garage are included in the new plan, as is space for 311 bicycles.
The façade of the development has also been changed a bit per new renderings released of the project. Two smaller existing buildings along Fifteenth Street not included in the plan are slated to remain following the approvals.
The development still hopes to liven up the pedestrian experience along the street a bit and on a bigger scale than previously proposed. A total of 11,803 square feet of retail will be split between two storefronts at the project.
Atlas Residential Tower Opens at 270 Johnston Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey
Quote:
Atlas, a 24-story rental building at 270 Johnston Avenue in Jersey City, New Jersey, officially opened with a ceremonial ribbon cutting on September 12. Designed by MHS Architecture and developed by Alpine Residential and Fields Grade, the structure will yield 169 units in studio to three-bedroom layouts, with many offering private outdoor space. The property is located between Maple/Garabrant Street and Communipaw Avenue, in close proximity to Liberty State Park.
“For a project like this to happen you need partnership,” said Jersey City Council president Joyce E. Watterman. “The government can’t do it alone. You always need private partnerships to get it done. I want to thank you for the partnership. We don’t take it for granted. Let’s continue to do great things in neighborhoods that we can revitalize because the people deserve it.”
