Seven-Story, 20-Unit Residential Building Planned at 325 Pine Street, Jersey City

TriBeCa-based Opis Partners is planning to develop a seven-story, 20-unit residential building at 325 Pine Street, in the Bergen-Lafayette section of Jersey City. The project will feature rental apartments, ranging from one- to three-bedrooms, Jersey Digs reported. The Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA) selected Opis as the developer last August. In October, the city’s Planning Board approved the project, which required a height variance. The development site, spanning 323-325 Pine Street, consists of two three-story, multi-family townhouses. A construction timeline has not been revealed, although the first step would be to demolish the existing structures.
