I love how Jersey City writes the redevelopment plans. A subtle change can result in a big building! I’m going to predict 60 floors, in a two-tower development or at least something that takes up the full lot.
I also predict it will have public parking, affordable housing, and provide some funds for offsite improvements near Journal Square and the Lowe’s theater.
At least, all this should be possible based on my read of the JSQ 2060 plan.
The city likes the tax revenue. Pretty much basking from the deficiencies in NYC with the housing (not that its not building but easier to build in Jersey City... hint hint NY hint hint).
I would like to see Bayonne get into the action more, as its pretty much an extension of Jersey City South. And Newark... Newark needs to ramp up to JC levels. Its asinine that it hasn't.
Whoever the new mayor is... they better continue the success of Fulop. This is no time for NIMBY shenanigans.
