In May, YIMBY unveiled renderings for a 37-story condo tower at 75 Park Lane South, in the Newport area of Jersey City.

The Jersey City Planning Board has recently approved plans for a four-story, three-unit mixed-use building at 415 1/2 Monmouth Street, located in a section of Jersey City called The Village.

The Ishay Group is proposing to redevelop the long-vacant, 25-story, 246,600-square-foot Carmel Towers building at 440 Elizabeth Avenue, also known as 203-221 Meeker Avenue, in Newark’s South Ward. The dilapidated tower would contain 216 residential units ranging from one- to three-bedrooms, Jersey Digs reported. Amenities would include a lounge, entertainment room, pool, fitness center, roof deck, and community garden. Mancini Duffy Architecture is behind the renovation’s design.
