As the fastest-growing city in New Jersey, Jersey City has been witnessing a sustained wave of new construction, transforming its skyline and adding thousands of new residential units to the housing-starved New York metropolitan region. In this post, YIMBY takes a look at six forthcoming projects that are slated to add 327 new homes across city, from Journal Square to the Hudson River waterfront.
Renderings were recently unveiled for 73 Meserole Street and 178 Montrose Avenue, a pair of 14- and 13-story affordable housing buildings in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Designed by Aufgang Architects and developed in a partnership between Slate Property Group and RiseBoro Community Partnership, the structures will yield a combined 312 rental units in studio to three-bedroom layouts, with 163 units at 178 Montrose Avenue and 149 units at 73 Meserole Street.
Newark, New Jersey is undergoing one of the largest transformations in its history, headlined by multiple skyline-altering skyscrapers. Between these more prominent developments, a large swath of smaller-scale construction is bringing a wealth of new housing to the city, along with healthcare and educational infrastructure to support it. In this post, YIMBY takes a look at six such forthcoming and recently completed projects at the heart of Newark’s resurgence.
Permits have been filed for a 12-story residential building at 610 East 226th Street in Wakefield, The Bronx. Located between Bronx Boulevard and Carpenter Avenue, the lot is near the 225th Street subway station, served by the 2 and 5 trains. Steven Westreich of Westorchard Management is listed as the owner behind the applications.
A new set of renderings reveal The Orion, a proposed three-tower residential complex at Parcel E along the Hunters Point South waterfront of Long Island City, Queens. Designed by Marvel, developed in a partnership between Slate Property Group, The Hudson Companies, and Volunteers of America, the $700 million mixed-use project is addressed as 54-42 2nd Street and would yield 980 new rental units, two-thirds of which will be dedicated to affordable housing for extremely low to moderate-income households, as well as a community facility space operated by local nonprofit Commonpoint Queens, an indoor community pool, and nearly 6,000 square feet of ground-floor commercial retail space.
