Proposal

A Dutch architect, Frank van Dillen came up with an amazing solution to care for dementia sufferers called De Hogeweyk, or Dementia Village. In effect, it is a small village, complete with streets, gardens, stores, restaurants, theaters, and more - all staffed by trained care professionals. Could this concept work in Jersey City?

While two ordinances designed to curb the “night-club driven entertainment district” along Newark Avenue didn’t move forward, an informal committee will now meet to discuss possible changes.

Heller Manus Architects and some local residents are hoping that Amazon picks Newark for its second headquarters, but their newly unveiled proposal was not featured in the city’s HQ2 application.

Mayor Fulop announced that a car-free zone along a major Jersey City hub could be expanded farther west, adding additional amenities.

A few years after embracing short-term rentals, the city council is weighing an ordinance that would place heavy restrictions on them in the name of combating a housing shortage.

The revamped project, dubbed Hoboken Connect, calls for a 20-story office building, 389 residential units, and an overhaul of Lackawanna Plaza into a two-story market and public space.

The owners of a block-long warehouse in The Heights, Jersey City hope that a new version of a rejected development can finally win over the community and revitalize the site.
