Development

The novel coronavirus is causing the Passaic Planning Board to discuss plans to redevelop a former railroad yard into residential and commercial uses over Zoom.

A few weeks ago, Jersey Digs reported that the old Hamilton Building and Loan Association site near Arts High School in Newark had been sold to a developer for more than $1.5 million. Now, new details have been revealed about the new owner’s plans for the property.

Revamped renderings have been uncovered as the 621-unit plan looks to wrap construction on the project’s first phase and begin leasing operations.

The concourse of Newark’s Gateway Center is now being branded as “The Junction.” Now, Jersey Mike’s Subs is planning to open a location inside.

A developer filed an application with the City of East Orange that could cause an office building near Brick Church Station to be converted into a residential development.

The old Capital One bank branch at 201 Newark Avenue in Jersey City was sold to a firm associated with Landmark Developers.

A four-story building at the corner of Norfolk Street and Sussex Avenue in University Heights that was previously used by the Newark Renaissance House could be converted into a mixed-use development.

Another residential development is being proposed near the possible Essex-Hudson Greenway site in the North Ward of Newark. The latest plan calls for a 29-unit building on Broadway.

The mixed-use development will transform 23 acres with luxury residences, amenities, retail, green space, and more.

A new complex with residential and retail uses is planned near a Bergen County train station, but this proposal differs from others that have been proposed in recent years near North Jersey transit hubs.
