Renderings have been revealed for 1 Lefante Way, a three-tower mixed-use complex in Bayonne, New Jersey. Designed by MHS Architects and co-owned by South Cove Development II LLC and South Cove Development III LLC, the project will consist of two 300-foot-tall residential towers and an eight-story hotel building. The property is comprised of two parcels within the Riverwalk at South Cove Redevelopment, and is bounded by the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway to the north the South Cove Commons strip mall to the south.

The hotel building will span 98,209 square feet and yield 125 guest rooms, a 19,639-square-foot banquet hall, 9,520 square feet of retail space, and a 9,400-square-foot restaurant. The residential towers will contain 696 homes, 508 enclosed parking spots, and amenities. The rendering above shows these structures featuring identical designs composed of glass curtain walls framed by metal mullions, with large diagonal columns at their bases.

The below rendering is oriented looking southeast along the Hudson River Waterfront Walkway. The eight-story hotel is in the foreground and is depicted clad primarily in dark metal paneling surrounding a grid of floor to ceiling windows interspersed by warm masonry columns. The podium levels will be clad in light tan brick.

    Did AI design this?

  2. Terrible would be an understatement

  3. A giant parking lot on the Hudson? What a great idea.

    • That part is already there it’s a shopping center, this proposal would help densify it and have good views.

  4. Bayonne? Don’t hold your breath.

    They have only been announcing ferry service to Manhattan over and over again for 20 years now.

  5. and now development spreads to Bayonne from Jersey City.
