New Renderings Revealed for West Side Square in Jersey City, New Jersey

Quote:

New renderings have been revealed for West Side Square, a multi-building master plan under construction in the Marion district of Jersey City, New Jersey. Designed by MHS Architecture and developed by Lanterra Developments, Westdale Properties, Lantree Developments, and Altree Developments, the project will yield 1,311 apartments across three structures. The 800,000-square-foot property is bounded by Fayette Place to the north, Broadway to the south, Corbin Avenue to the east, and Giles Avenue to the west.

Construction has already topped out on the project’s first phase, which is featured in the rendering above. Dubbed The Residences, it consists of a pair of 12-story buildings at 1072-1075 West Side Avenue, and will yield 477 units. A second structure named The Factory will add 834 additional rental units in a later phase.

Units at The Residences will come in studio to three-bedroom layouts, while the five-story podium will house 285 enclosed parking spaces and more than 23,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial space.

Completion of The Residences at West Side Square is anticipated for the end of 2026. The factory has yet to receive approval, and a construction timeline for this second phase remains unclear.

Jersey City Advances Two-Tower, 1,000-Unit Plan at 660 Grove Street

Quote:

During their October 7 meeting, Jersey City’s Planning Board granted Preliminary Site Approval to a project at 660 Grove Street. The 81,759 square foot property currently consists of a one-story warehouse, which would be torn down under the proposal.

The land is owned by Pegasus Partners, who are behind a separate two-tower development at 619 Marin Boulevard where demolition and construction work has already begun.

Their latest project falls within the High-Rise District of the Jersey Avenue Light Rail Redevelopment Plan on a lot with frontages on Grove Street to the west, 18th Street to the south, and the trackage for the Hudson Bergen Light Rail acting as its northeastern boundary.

Designed by MHS Architects, the project would consist of a two-phased development consisting of two towers on a four-story base. Both high-rises would top out at 17 stories and 169 feet in height, with phase one of the project including the base.

The totals of the project are ambitious, including 1,000 residential units plus 11,947 square feet of retail and 350 parking spaces. Phase one would boast 542 dwelling units, with 81 set aside as affordable housing.

The second portion would feature the remaining 458 dwelling units with 69 set aside as affordable housing. The breakdown of the combined units in both building skews smaller, consisting of 528 studios, 240 one-bedrooms, 171 two-bedrooms, and 61 three-bedroom units.

This is pretty big for the area. More than 2200 units.

Jersey City hospital could be replaced by apartments

Quote:

The owners of Heights University Hospital are requesting approval from Jersey City officials to build a new hospital adjacent to the current one and pair it with residential development.

Otherwise, Hudson Regional Health “must proceed forward with alternative proposals for the land,” wrote Hudson Regional Health Chief Executive Officer and President Dr. Nizar Kifaieh in an Oct. 13 letter to the Division of City Planning.

One of the alternative uses for the site involves building a pair of 10-story residential buildings with more than 2,200 total units. The concept plan was created by MHS Architecture, a firm based in Hoboken. It’s preliminary and has not been formally submitted to the city as of Thursday.

Simultaneously, Heights University Hospital has begun downsizing and winding down services. On Oct. 14, the hospital submitted a Certificate of Need application to the New Jersey Department of Health requesting a staged hospital closure, according to a letter from the state health department.

Good start, now make it better with a few 25+ story towers poking out of it to break up the aircraft carrier feel and take advantage of the skyline views to the east.

This one is very interesting. It's all senior housing, which is important because the zoning code allows it to be built as-of-right. Even though this has caused uproar in the heights, there is nothing the city can do legally to stop it. Knowing this, the hospital is trying to use this as a negotiation factor. I think the politicals will end up breaking the law to satisfy the NIMBYs, and the hospital will win a big court case in response.

I love how Imperial Tower in Journal Square keeps growing. God bless you developers!

JERSEY CITY | 100 Bay Street | 1,055 FT + FT | 90 + 40 FLOORS (1st supertall!)

Supertall proposal for Jersey City at 100 Bay Street.

Quote:

BLDG Management, a leading national real estate investment management and development firm, has announced a proposed multifamily rental property at 100 Bay Street in Jersey City, NJ. The property will offer approximately 1,300 new rental units, 20 percent of which will be affordable, helping to meet growing housing demand in the market.

100 Bay Street will be a single residential building featuring two towers on a podium base and connected by a 40th floor sky bridge. The sculptural design incorporates the artistic legacy of the Arts District, while also providing additional world-class architecture to Jersey City’s skyline. The proposed building’s iconic design implements previously approved elements required by Jersey City for this site pursuant to a development agreement with the property owner which was approved in a federal court consent order.

Hudson County to Approve $73 Million for Liberty Science Center High School

Quote:

A stalled plan to bring a state-of-the-art STEM facility to a vacant plot of Jersey City land is slated for a rebirth as funding is finally in place for the ambitious Liberty Science Center High School.

During their October 21 caucus meeting, the Hudson County Board of Commissioners advanced an ordinance to move the high school forward. It authorizes a lease and development agreement with the Hudson County Improvement Authority for the Liberty Science Center High School Project, which is estimated to cost $73 million.

The work is being financed through the issuance of the County Secured Lease Revenue Bonds of the Hudson County Improvement Authority, and the execution of a lease agreement with the Hudson County Schools of Technology.

An irregular parcel in Jersey City’s Bergen-Lafayette neighborhood could soon be home to a modern three-building complex with all components set to feature retail space and affordable housing.

During their October 7 meeting, Jersey City’s Planning Board greenlit an application to revitalize a large parcel at 590 Grand Street. Currently home to an auto mechanic, car wash, and surface parking, the lot sits at the corner with Fairmount Avenue.

The land is owned by Jersey City-based Mecca Realty Properties and sits within the Mixed Use F District of the Morris Canal Redevelopment Plan. The three-phase development, designed by Architectura, is slated to consist of three six-story buildings totaling 235 units, 12,879 square feet of retail space, and 72 surface parking spaces between the structures.

Under dead proposals, 55 hudson is u/c. Pretty much topped out. Just have to amend it to 55 Hudson Street | 637 FT | 58 FLOORS as its not the original project at 95 floors.

Even AI needs to bow down to the boom that is Jersey City! And growing!

50 hudson also can be moved to u/c as rebar and a crane is up on the parcel.
