THE HUDSON
Overview
The Hudson (formerly called 126-142 Morgan Street) is a massive full-block artist-centric building that is being developed in the P.A.D on the lots bordered by Warren, Bay, Morgan, and Provost Streets.
Like many of its neighbors, The Hudson will be a mixed-used building that will rise as high as 17-stories - consistent with the roof lines already established by the 140 and 150 Bay. From the artist renderings it appears that the buildings are three separate structures of varying heights with interlocking entrances and presumably common walkways. The entire building is envisioned to include:
-263 residential units.
-9.5% of the residential units will be set aside for artist work/live areas.
-A 400-seat arts theatre and gallery, encompassing over 13,000 square feet (corner of Morgan and Warren)
-A school for arts instruction
-Over 6,000 square foot designed to house a restaurant or café (corner of Warren and Bay)
-217 parking spaces (though this number may have fallen with the latest plan amendment)
-Common rooftop courtyard.
At the time the plan was approved, the residential units were broken as follows:
IBR – 150 ranging from 700 – 900 sq/ft)
2BR/3BR – 78 (ranging from 925 – 1,300 sq/ft)
Duplexes – 11
1 – 1020 sq/ft
2 – 1150 sq/ft
7 – 1400 sq/ft
1 – 1410 sq/ft
24 artist live/work units. According to the plans the entire 3rd floor ringing Provost, Bay and Morgan Streets, including an interior courtyard, will be dedicated to the artist/work units.
The artist/work units will be broken down as follows:
2 – 1,000 sq/ft
10 – 1,100 sq/ft
3 – 1,200 sq/ft
2 – 1,250 sq/ft
1 – 1,300 sq/ft
3 – 1,400 sq/ft
2 – 1,600 sq/ft
1 – 1,640 sq/ft
The JC Planning Board approved the initial building plans back in May 2004 with a more recent amendment passing in September of 2005. In April 2006, another one-year extension was granted the developer due to delays in getting the NJDEP to perform additional testing.
