Construction has broken ground at 420 Marin Boulevard, the site of a 1.3-million-square-foot mixed-use residential skyscraper in Jersey City. Designed by Beyer Blinder Belle and developed by Brookfield Properties and G&S Investors, the project is also known as Phase II in the Hudson Exchange master-planned development that will yield more than 6 million square feet.
The Jersey City Planning Board unanimously approved plans to construct a 60-story mixed-use tower at 400-420 Marin Boulevard. Led by G&S Investors, the tower is the latest component of Jersey City’s Hudson Exchange redevelopment plan that aims to invigorate the area with big-box and local retail, quality housing, and entertainment destinations in an area surrounding the Harsimus Cove Light Rail station.
Construction is complete on VYV South, a 432-unit residential building at 444 Warren Street in Jersey City. Designed by Perkins Eastman and developed by Brookfield Properties and G&S Investors, the structure is the second building to rise in the 18-acre Hudson Exchange West development following the completion of its sibling VYV at 474 Warren Street. Both edifices feature a curtain wall of dark gray brick and glass panels, and culminate in relatively flat parapets. The entire development will consist of 12 new towers with 5,400 units and 350,000 square feet of amenity, retail, and dining spaces.
Manhattan-based developer G&S Investors is planning to build a five-story mixed-use project with up to 79 residential units at 59 Westchester Avenue or 1 North Main Street, in Port Chester, Westfair reports. The site is currently a parking lot and located two blocks from the village’s Metro-North Railroad station. It would include 14,000 square feet of ground-floor retail space and many of the units would be studios, one-bedrooms, and two-bedrooms. The village board would have to approve a zoning variance, which is a process hoped to be completed by the end of 2016.
