Construction has begun on Charlie, a 27-story residential building within Hoboken Connect at NJ Transit’s Hoboken Terminal in Hoboken, New Jersey. Designed by Salas O’Brien and Allied and developed by LCOR, the 365,000-square-foot structure will yield 386 units, with 20 percent designated as affordable housing, as well as ground-floor retail space.

The property will feature a geothermal system with 66 wells reaching as deep as 850 feet below ground, recognized as the largest residential geothermal system in New Jersey. Its construction will also incorporate green roofs and will bring upgrades in the surrounding stormwater management infrastructure. The development team is aiming to achieve LEED Gold certification.

“LCOR’s Charlie is a perfect example of how thoughtful development, as part of the broader Hoboken Connect project, creates unparalleled access to public transportation,” said NJ Transit president and CEO Kevin S. Corbett. “This public-private partnership with LCOR will ultimately transform the Hoboken waterfront with sustainable housing, expanded access to transit, and modernized infrastructure, including a new Hoboken Bus Terminal.”

The renderings in this article are showing 2 separate towers, and the first image is the commercial building. Are both under construction or only the residential tower shown later in the article?
Great to see this height in this part of Hoboken. And very cool about the geothermal wells.
It’s great to see surface lots changed to housing and commerial, but please let Manhattan suffer alone with cantilevers. Ugh.
I agree with dropping the cantilevered look on buildings
Housing and public transport are still essential to a city, for some people they don’t care. Because there are already private cars on the expressway: Thanks.
The residential tower was designed by SLCE, and is beginning construction. I am not sure as to the status of the commercial structure.
Is the residential tower going to be rentals or units to purchase?
The geothermal wells sound so interesting.
I wonder how will they be utilized.
I grew up on Bloomfield street from the day I was born in 1961 and lived there till the early 90s.
I hope that I’ll be able to return to indulge in all that my home town Hoboken has to offer.
