An anonymous Delaware-based LLC has filed paperwork to amend previously granted building permits to convert the two-story commercial warehouse at 151 West Side Avenue, in Jersey City, into a 119-unit residential building. The existing warehouse is located between Fulton and Woodlawn avenues on Jersey City’s West Side. Part of the warehouse would be demolished, Jersey Digs reported. The project would also contain 118 off-street parking spaces. The city’s Zoning Board of Adjustment, which originally approved applications for a 116-unit conversion in the spring, must approve the changes. A hearing will be held on December 15.

Crest Point Development, which acquired the site a year ago for $1.425 million, is the developer, Jersey Digs reported.

There will also be a cafeteria, a 350-seat theater, and a parking garage, according to Real Estate Weekly.

The Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA) has launched a request for proposals (RFP) for the city-owned development site consisting of 41 Aetna Street and the southern portion of 52 Aetna Street, located in downtown Jersey City’s Liberty Harbor section. The city is seeking a developer that would build a mixed-use project. The site could accommodate residential units, commercial spaces such as offices, retail, and hotels, and community spaces such as academic and medical facilities. Significant infrastructure work must also be done by the developer, Jersey Digs reported. The two-acre plot contains a number of small industrial structures and must first be remediated. Proposals are due December 16.
