Development

A restaurant overlay zone has been proposed for Bergen-Lafayette that hopes to spur retail development along one of the areas most neglected corridors.

Soon, dozens of new residents could be coming to neighborhoods of Newark that are north of Interstate 280. In the Lower Broadway neighborhood of the City’s Central Ward, a new building is planned at 73-87 Clay Street, between Spring Street and Route 21/McCarter Highway.

Jersey City’s western expansion is showing no signs of slowing down, with the city’s Lafayette neighborhood the latest to reap the rewards of revitalization.

No street on Hoboken’s west side is a bigger poster child for both the city’s growth and how it’s growing than Jefferson Street, where there are a whopping eleven projects either underway or finishing up in just an eight-block stretch.

After years of plans, designs, false starts and a few broken hearts, the long-vacant lot at One Journal Square has both a reputable developer and an approved, supersized plan, plus another approved project across the street at an iconic building for good measure.

With revitalization in Jersey City gradually moving further west, a new proposal is being put together for 39 New York Avenue in The Heights by a development group that’s been in business for almost 38 years.

With unprecedented population growth, an influx of new shops and eateries, and endless construction, there’s no doubt Jersey City is changing quickly. These 10 slides show what a difference 8 years has made to Jersey City.

A half-block of underutilized structures near one of Hoboken’s most prominent landmarks will soon be home to family-friendly condominiums for homebuyers and should also free-up some street parking spaces for nearby residents.

Jersey City’s west side has another approved development in the works, one that will replace both a beloved local restaurant and a relic of the city’s industrial age with new construction for the 21st century.

Poskanzer Skott Architects’ design for Embankment House enhances the architectural diversity that defines Jersey City’s Hamilton Park. Situated on an old railroad embankment that fronts 10th Street, the 163-unit multifamily development’s new construction complements the neighborhood while preserving a bit of local history.
