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.

So much potential, but it's comically bad what we're getting:





Watch out for the sealevel rise in that first pic.

That is exactly as you said, comically bad.

I don't understand what is stopping a 50+ story tower here. They had no problem fully leasing the Ellipse very quickly at $4+/sqft.

It's not the developers holding back. They want to build tall as they can charge more per sqft on higher floors. Ellipse was a resounding success. It leased quickly even thought it had the highest rents in Jersey City, on par with several neighborhoods in Manhattan across the river.

I believe I've heard it's a NIMBY issue, and not from an area you'd expect. Something about view corridors from the Palisades.

That's ridiculous... but the "don't you dare block my view" Nimbyism is just as bad as the "don't go tall and dense and ruin the character of our neighborhood" kind. Really, the LeFraks should either not care and build whatever will sell well anyway... or if they are going more midrise than tall not to cause any waves, they should at least go with striking, at least compelling designs. The ones slated for this last undeveloped part of the Newport waterfront in the renderings are stunningly mediocre, headscratching in their lack of imagination and style. That's the best I can say for them... wow, it's bad.

Trust me. You're not missing anything. It could have very well been the most boring design in the entire NYC metro area, ever.

Project: Gallery Lofts

Distinctively designed, generously sized residences will be outfitted with top of the line finishes and fixtures. Select homes feature terraces as well as Manhattan views. On-site parking is also available with many units.

Located at 391 Palisade Avenue, the building is well positioned to benefit from the rebirth of the once prominent retail corridor. With a slew of new restaurants, like Choc O Pan, Low Fidelity, and Pizza Vita, already open and more in the works, Palisade Avenue will soon become the jewel of the Heights.

For groceries and staples, residents have a choice between Supremo or Stop and Shop, both within a few blocks. Also, a short walk away are the 100 steps to Hoboken providing easy access to the Light Rail, PATH and endless shops and restaurants.

Hoboken-based Fields Construction is constructing the building. Fields, which has operated in Jersey City and Hoboken for decades, is now the go-to firm for developers expecting the best.

Project Update: New renderings for The Oakman Phase II



Extra Info:

Phase II, located at 175 2nd Street, replaces a private parking lot with frontage on both 2nd Street and Marin Blvd. The building’s facade is comprised of elegant white brick, zinc alucobond, and bone white alucobond that are arranged in alternating fins and metal panels. The effect is a modest departure from the red-bricked structures surrounding the new project.

When complete, Phase II will rise a total 14 stories. Ground levels will house over 4,600 square feet of retail, as well as parking accommodations for future occupants. Frontage on 2nd Street features a large, overhead bi-fold storefront creating a dramatic public entrance to future retail tenants.

The residential component will contain 150 condo units and a full suite of hotel-inspired amenities. While amenity components are currently under development, a rooftop pool and multiple outdoor terraces are confirmed.

I just thought this collage was cool. Not accurate, as its a collage in terms of scale, but a little collection of some JC towers.

Took a screenshot.

What's the "ghosted" massing behind it in the rendering? A second phase?

Is this 33 Park or something new?

That's Liberty Harbor North.

Although on a side note, 33 Park will eventually have another tower for Phase II.

33 Park:



They look nearly identical. copy pasta

I don't post too much anymore, but here is the latest

147-151 Academy Street, 8 floors, 69 units
167-169 Baldwin Avenue & 44-48 Newkirk Street, 12 floors, 140 units
220-238 Monticello Ave., 221-227 Fairmont Ave., 4-12 Fairview Ave., 10 floor mixed-use building with below ground parking
418-434 Palisade Avenue, 5 floors, 46 units

More mid-rises in the Journal Square area is a good thing. Looking at how the area is changing, the average weekday ridership so far in 2018 at the Journal Square PATH station is 25,493, up 13% from 22,542 the year before.

What's that tall tower in the following link, about midway down the page.
