Looks pretty comprehensive.

I'd say Emerson Lofts I is complete (I see people going in and out sometimes) - it's called Hudson House Lofts now.

33-35 Van Riepen, 144 First St, 32 Oakland, 345 Baldwin, 358 MLK are topped out. 407-413 Summit is either at or very near that point too

711 Montgomery is under construction (not just excavation)

11-29 Cottage St is being demo-ed (well, most of the buildings already are, one remains). 630-632 Newark also received demo permits and buildings were fenced off

One Journal Square is supposedly starting soon? I'll believe it when I see it.

These probably fall right below the threshold, but 12-24 Brook St (where the Bates St proposal was) at 10 stories, just started piling, and 72 York St (11 stories) topped out.

There appear to be a few new proposals:
80 Journal Square - 26 Floors
250 Morris Blvd - 16 floors
251-257 Grand St - 12 floors. This one is significantly bigger than previously expected for this site (the site fronting Grand St, in front of One Grove...I think)

Changes made! Thanks. I agree with you with One Journal Square...

@C

Front page updated. I presume latest Q1 list for 2022.

Hopefully Urban Ready Living starts up as the market improves. One would also think some movement on 30 Journal Square Plaza considering the restart of many projects across the Hudson, would seem natural for Jersey City given that it feeds off the local sphere.

They must be having financing problems or something. URL was the fastest leasing apartment complex in New Jersey ever. It's been enormously profitable as they've been able to rent the units far above what they original pro forma called for. The market demand is there, especially for high-rises with an iconic view of the Manhattan skyline. Yet, nothing. All three of the URL buildings should have been built by now. But instead buildings like 25 Charlotte or whatever they're calling it by now leap frog and was constructed instead.

chris08876 · #8 Posted **Jan 9, 2022, 5:20 PM**

I think may be 100% correct. Hopefully they can finish out the complex in time. URL has been a big success, phase one.

Hopefully 2022 provides some good feedback. And some action on Kushners part with 30 Journal.

citybooster · #9 Posted **Jan 9, 2022, 5:31 PM**

The Kushners were already supposed to be square with the city(pardon the pun) and ready to start on One Journal Square, right in front of their cousins Journal Squared project, which is already starting on its third and last tower. They had the revised, slightly shorter though still immense two tower project yet again greenlighted. Still, NOTHING. It was supposed to start in the spring of 2021. Before they start 30 Journal Square, get this empty eyesore built up. THIS is supposed to be the anchor to the new Journal Square.

New 26 floor building proposed at 80 Journal Square. 368 units residential units, 20,000 sqft of office and retail. 187 bike spaces and zero parking.

The midrises have come to Journal Sqaure. This replaces the CH Martin store.

I hope they include an underground connection to the PATH in exchange for higher densities or something.

chris08876 · #11 Posted **Feb 16, 2022, 2:58 PM**

^^^^^

Tops out at 283 feet. Nice infill (80 Journal Square).

Also at 591 Montgomery Street, an 18 floor high rise proposed.

For 591 Montgomery Street:

Nice project, chris! Hopefully even more mid-high rises like that for the neighborhood in the coming years, a great complement to Journal Square development.

Frustrating news... looks like the 50 story Saddlewood project on Marin Boulevard that would replace those couple of blocks of one story buildings appears dead due to the Fulop administration recent demand that it be a 100% union project. It still likely would have used a considerable amount of union labor, but would have hamstrung it into spending aboout 70 million more(which would have greatly reduced its ability to turn a profit). The developer said that if that request had been made early on, they would have found a way to get it done but this is like changing the rules in the eighth inning.

Crushing thing about this is that the developer would have invested in a critically needed elementary school plus significant parkland. I love good paying jobs, and am not here to rail against construction unions, but the Fulop administration really messed this up (all the homes had been sold and the developer was going to provide compensation, even settling with the last holdout who tried to sue to stop the development) and hopefully can work with the developer to reverse his decision to withdraw from the project. This would have been a very impactful project, building on its neighbors 331 and 351 Marin and providing, most importantly, huge community benefits. I'm hoping this can be reversed but doesn't seem encouraging right now.

32-34 Cottage St is being land banked for three years. Planned to be 32 floor building. In the interim, it will be a parking lot.

Made a new comparison. Jersey City; 2022 vs 2011 (Q4)

chris08876 · #16 Posted **Sep 1, 2022, 12:34 PM**

Project: 535 Monmouth Street

Quote:

A former rail line along 10th Street in Jersey City could soon be completely revitalized as the developer behind the Newport neighborhood has been given the go-ahead to bring a third building to the fringes of Hamilton Park.

During their August 23 meeting, Jersey City’s planning board approved an application from Newport Associates Development for 535 Monmouth Street. The vacant parcel, spanning just about three acres, is situated atop a former railroad embankment that runs along 10th Street.

Dubbed the Rampart House, the L-shaped building will rise seven stories and just over 67 feet. The entirety of the complex is slated to include 246 units that skew smaller, breaking down as 17 studios, 203 one-bedrooms, and 26 two-bedrooms spaces.

The building will sport an industrial look in keeping with the area, utilizing grey concrete, brick, and aluminum framing along its exterior. A weathered steel finish will be featured where the development’s first floor meets the existing stone embankment.

Rampart House will complete a three-building renaissance along the former 10th Street rail corridor, as LeFrak has already built the Embankment House and the Revetment House atop the other portions of the former railway. The final phase falls within the “transition district” of the Jersey Avenue Tenth Street Redevelopment Plan and did not require any variances from existing zoning.

Nice. Hopefully this is the first of a bunch of highrises for that part of Jersey City.

That area needs density and height.

colemonkee · #18 Posted **Jan 20, 2022, 3:51 PM**

Love the tower, but looks pretty isolated.

The first big tower in an area is always going to be isolated and stand out. It will blend in with time if others are planned. I'm reminded of Journal Square when the first 51-storey tower started to rise. It must have been about 3 times taller than anything else in the area. Nowadays, there is a whole new skyline in Journal Square with the peak at 70 storeys and a bunch of mid-rise buildings. It works now, but it was hard to see the vision when the site was just a rooming house.

Crawford, agreed. It looks like there is plenty of vacant land that could see high-density development. I'm not sure about the zoning for the area or what the redevelopment plan states. I'm going to take a look now. What I really want to see is that awful surface parking for the Liberty State Park station be redeveloped. It doesn't have to be highrises but townhomes to midrises with a structured parking deck would be such a better use of land.

I wonder how many years it will take to see an enormous development at the Communipaw terminal site.
