A few years ago, a piece of the Palisades along River Road in North Bergen, New Jersey was cut back to prepare for new development. From south to north, a Starbucks Coffee, Bank of America, and Walgreens are already open. Just beyond them, a new residential development is now only months away from completion.
The dilapidated, two-story venue building at 2 Chapel Avenue, in the Port Liberté community of southern Jersey City, is expected to renovated and expanded into a four-story, 40,000-square-foot structure. The previous venue was called The Pointe, but Landmark Developers will rebrand the project as the North River House, Jersey Digs reported. The redeveloped building will include a lobby, a lounge, a restaurant, and two banquet halls. In addition, there will be multiple bars throughout, landscaped gardens, patios attached to the restaurant, and cabanas. Work is expected to start soon and completion is scheduled for 2018.
A rendering has been revealed of the five-story, 15-unit residential building planned at 722 Jefferson Street, in Hoboken, New Jersey. The city’s Planning Board approved the project in May, Jersey Digs reported earlier this month. The project’s residential units will be condominiums, ranging from three- to four-bedrooms. There will be three penthouses, each boasting private rooftop terraces. Amenities include a communal roof terrace and a 15-car parking garage with electric charging stations on the ground floor. The 125-foot-wide site is currently vacant, although it was formerly occupied by multiple single- and two-story garages. The developer goes by an anonymous LLC and Hoboken-based Minervini Vandermark Architecture is behind the design. A construction timeline has not been disclosed. The Hudson-Bergen Light Rail’s 9th Street-Congress Street station is four blocks away, and the PATH station is about 20 minutes away by foot.
Back in January, YIMBY reported on the groundbreaking ceremony held for the planned 79-story, 781-unit mixed-use tower under development at 99 Hudson Street, in Jersey City. That’s located between Grand and York streets in Exchange Place section of the city. Pile driving and foundation work are now underway, as seen in photos posted to the YIMBY Forums. The 1.5-million-square-foot skyscraper, to stand 900 feet in height, will include 15,000 square feet of retail space and 14,000 square feet of public space, some of that in the form of a plaza. The plaza will be located on the corner of Grand and Greene streets. China Overseas America Inc. is the developer and Perkins Eastman is behind the design. Completion is expected in 2018, followed by occupancy the next year.
A rendering has been revealed of the five-story, four-unit residential building planned at 718-720 Jefferson Street, in Hoboken, New Jersey. The developer, Hoboken-based Schmitt Capital, also recently broke ground on the project, Jersey Digs reported Tuesday. All four residential units will be condominiums. Each will have three bedrooms and measure over 2,500 square feet, per plans approved by the city in 2015. Amenities include a six-car garage on the ground floor, a 2,000-square-foot rear yard, and a roof terrace. Lee Levine Architects, also based in Hoboken, is behind the architecture. The 5,000-square-foot assemblage was once occupied by a single-story garage and a two-story house (recessed from the street). Completion can probably be expected in 2017.
