Public Space

The long road to building a modern court complex in Jersey City is making progress, as bids will soon be submitted for the project’s construction phase.

The cliffside green space will be getting a new fountain, renovated monuments, a new Bocce court, and loads of infrastructure upgrades that are set to break ground in the coming months.

A $5 million plan that will create almost eight miles of publicly accessible space around Jersey City’s water supply is moving forward following approvals.

The current facility could be demolished as soon as February and will be replaced by a 25,000-square-foot building complete with a restaurant, two banquet halls, and a rooftop bar.

Jersey City will spend $4 million raising the existing plaza, adding granite pavers, and installing a variety of new features later this year.

Details have emerged about a future car-free zone that’s under construction on the city’s west side, which will connect the Monroe Center to six new storefront spaces tucked under the Palisades.

New renders have been revealed for the 20-story hotel, a project that will now include almost $5 million in community givebacks.

Pending council approval, a hotel development deal now includes funds to renovate a post office, restore a decaying community center, and create new educational spaces for public use.

Barely a month after announcing the proposal, Jersey City has moved ahead with plans to add car-free blocks to Downtown.

After plenty of back and forth, Jersey City and Polish officials agreed to a plan that would move the statue to York Street and spruce up another section of the waterfront.
