Development

While Downtown has gotten all the attention as Newark’s hub of commercial redevelopment, University Heights has quietly become one of the city’s hottest up-and-coming residential neighborhoods.

A singer, songwriter, talk show host, and producer who was born and raised in the Garden State appears to be behind a new development that is planned for her home county.

Local developer Weingarten Group recently broke ground on their latest project at 380 Newark Avenue, which will add 45 new units to Downtown’s condominium inventory next year.

Preliminary plans are in the works to develop a city-owned lot in Jersey City's historic Bergen Hill neighborhood. The plan could bring a 5-story, 30-unit building to the currently wooded parcel.

Late last year, the Cherry Park Apartments development officially opened in Newark's North Ward, near the Belleville border, bringing 100 new residences to the area.

Yesterday, Bayonne city officials alongside representatives from Ingerman bundled up in the cold to break ground on the six-story '19 East' project located off Broadway at 19 East 19th Street.

A prominent landmark in a rapidly developing neighborhood could be revived and expanded under a proposed new district, which would preserve a piece of Jersey City’s history and update it for modern times.

A two-building project called ‘Jefferson Lofts’ is planned for 206 Jefferson Street and at 504 Second Street in Hoboken.

Newark's popular Ironbound neighborhood could soon see a new residential development. According to a listing posted on LoopNet, a building called Vesey Street Commons is slated for development at 115 Chestnut Street.

In the nearly 17 years since the first riders boarded the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail, buildings containing thousands of residential units have risen within walking distance of many of its 24 stations. Now, development could soon be centered around a stop in Jersey City’s Bergen-Lafayette.
