We are living in a bit of a renaissance for New York City-area bridges. New spans are under construction for the Goethals, Kosciuszko, and Tappan Zee bridges, and the deck of the Bayonne Bridge is being raised. The world’s busiest bridge, the George Washington, is also having work done.
Last month, the City of Bayonne’s Planning Board approved plans for a five-story, 65-unit residential project at 676-688 Avenue E, located near East 43rd Street in Bayonne, N.J. The new building will rise 69 feet and contain a mix of one-, two-, and loft-style apartments, Jersey Digs reported. Amenities will include a fitness center, a roof deck, a lounge and a 71-car parking garage. The development site is currently occupied by two single-story commercial buildings. A construction timeline has not been revealed, although the developer, Art Kheyman, stated construction would begin “soon after” final approvals were granted.
In 2015, an 18-story building was set to rise at the corner of Warren and Steuben streets in Jersey City’s Powerhouse Arts District. Since then, a new developer and architect have taken over the site. Now, YIMBY the first look at the new design for 321 Warren Street.
A rendering has been revealed of a two-towered project planned at 177 Grand Street, located in the Paulus Hook section of downtown Jersey City. Plans presented to the Historic Paulus Hook Association last week call for a 22-story building along Grand Street and a 16-story building along Sussex Street. There will be between 275 and 300 market-rate rental apartments, in addition to retail space and a 150-car parking garage.
Renderings have been revealed of a 17-story, 308-unit mixed-use building at 30 Evergreen Place, located on the corner of Freeway Drive East in East Orange, in Essex County, N.J. The project, dubbed The Station at Brick Church, will also contain retail space, a public plaza, and a parking garage, according to the Urban Essex Coalition for Smart Growth. TD+Partners and J.G. Petrucci Company Inc. are the developers, Jersey Digs reported, while Clarke Caton Hintz is serving as the design architect. Phase one of the project, presumably the residential tower, is slated to be complete in 2018. The 2.5-acre plot is currently vacant. The site’s predecessors, two office buildings, were demolished some time before 2009.
