Demolishing hideous brown public housing is the way to go. NYC should demolish it's public housing stock too and built nicer and healthier communities for those displaced.

Council OKs 20-year tax break for Downtown Jersey City tower

By Terrence T. McDonald | The Jersey Journal
on September 09, 2015 at 8:46 PM, updated September 10, 2015 at 7:08 AM


A rendering of a proposed 400-unit residential development proposed for Marin Boulevard in Jersey City. (KRE Group)

JERSEY CITY — A 20-year tax break for a 17-story residential building proposed for the Hamilton Park neighborhood won final approval from the City Council tonight.

The $163 million project, which has already won a $40 million state tax break for developer KRE Group, will add nearly 400 units on a parking lot near Unico Towers, at Ninth Street and Marin Boulevard. Construction is expected to begin this month.

The city initially intended to award KRE a 30-year tax abatement, but the deal was amended to 20 years tonight. Asked why, Corporation Counsel Jeremy Farrell told The Jersey Journal to ask Deputy Mayor Marcos Vigil, who declined to explain.

Good to see Jersey City getting rid of horrible public housing from the 60's. That shit needs to be torn down in every city. Wish all that horrid public housing on the lower east side of Manhattan could get blown away, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. Such a shame they destroyed basically that entire side of Manhattan when it had some of the most historic tenement housing from the mid 1800's, which would now be worth millions. But instead, you have one of the worst pedestrian oriented neighborhoods in Manhattan that is just horrible to walk around in with nothing much to see.

429 Monmouth


374 7th St




27 Division St


361 Newark Ave - I feel like I'm missing something here. Are the windows going to be in front of that concrete? Are they going to punch them out of it? I can't quite see how this follows the rendering so far


323 7th St




320.5 7th St




336 7th St


A couple doors down seems to be doing some renovation work


115 Coles St


360 9th Street






795 Jersey Ave - I can't really seem to find much about this. Might be this project: http://sohowestnj.com/soho-west-ii/




Lackawanna Terminal - this thing is massive. Maybe one day they'll do something with it


182 14th St - site of future hotel




Cast Iron Lofts and surrounding area


The Embankment - the security guard on site said the second one was starting very soon




6th Street Embankment (the one the city is fighting with Hyman over)


95 Coles St




317 5th St


Erie St Flats


220 3rd St


212 3rd

Updates from this weekend, starting with downtown on Saturday:

30 Montgomery - aside from the lobby, they are also replacing the windows. You can see where they have already






Hyatt Hotel






99 Hudson lot - still a lot


Fresh - Healthy Cafe opening soon in 77 Hudson


Colgate Clock Park - still incomplete




Some small renovations-construction on Sussex St






193-213 Van Vorst - the equipment on site seems to have changed. There's now a trash chute on a trailer


33 Park - it appears they are building the center podium and the tower further from Marin first. Seems like it would have been more logical to build the tower on Marin - not sure what their calculations were




Window/Curtain wall mockup


Gull's Cove 2, still quiet


235 Grand - environmental remediation. Construction doesn't seem imminent yet.




From this view it'll rise on the left


28 Bright St


the pile driver in the back is actually for a different project...


...265 York. 267 and 271 are also being renovated as part of this project






54 Bright St


333 Grand site


50 Regent - leasing office is open. Should be open soon if it isn't already




247 York - interior demo and renovation


new realty office


249 Grove


This building definitely used to be a different color - I wonder when it changed. Looks pretty interesting like this


220 York - eventual 3-story infill building


212 York - probably will be similar to 220 York once construction is done


257 Grove - another renovation


70 Columbus and the accessible Path entrance










From 2 story house to 50 Story building


URL, from many different angles


I like how it towers over everything in this view


Both the foreground lots on the right and left are zoned for 38-40 story buildings. This will be a tall intersection.












With Modera lofts, Trump and 111 First site


Trump 2


Can't tell if this is actually brick or precast blocks of brick


The Oakman - a few floors of windows






Juan Ribbon Machine shop - approved for an 11 story building. Parlay Studios (previous tenant) appears to be gone.


143 Second - not much going on outside other than an obvious need to repaint


M2




Modera Lofts - Nexis, I know you keep mentioning that they are not powerwashing, but rather putting on a thin coat of new bricks. I want to believe you, but it's not really obvious from these pictures




Looking at some of the in-between bricks - some seem to be halfway through whatever process they are undergoing - so they are half dark and half red.




And for those who originally pointed out that the windows would be too small, you can see that they've actually punched out some of the brick underneath the old windows in order to fit in bigger, newer ones


Powerhouse - I hope they get to work on this soon - right now it's literally being held up by these cords




Pep Boys site - pile driver parked next to the site




Newport Area - site of 75 Park Lane and 2 Shore Drive North, both purchased by a Chinese company






Holland Tunnel Pier Replacement




Columbus Dr and Jersey Ave - this finally rose a floor




Vito A Lofts aka Maxwell Alley project




Project on Wayne St. Trying to figure out if it's being demolished or rebuilt


A few Citibike stations around town




The only station that's built correctly - in the street instead of taking up the sidewalk

Jersey City is booming. The skyline is so much bigger and taller than when I was there last.

This brickwork looks like absolute trash. What's going on here with the quality? Are they just grabbing people off the street and putting a trowel in their hands? Shockingly poor quality if I may say so.

I was actually quite surprised by the poor quality of the brick, especially the poor work around the edges. It's also hard to tell if they washed it down - perhaps they have yet to finish it, but since the building seemed like it was near opening, I doubt it.

Here's some smaller updates from random locations around Jersey City:

Putting windows in 30 Montgomery






Exchange Place hotel




Canal Crossing


Berry Lane Park


Bergen-Lafayette renovation


site of 829-843 Garfield Ave


URL and Trump 2














Hudson Exchange West



Modera Lofts


hm, what's for sale?


Journal Squared








3 Journal Square Plaza


Skillman Ave/JFK Project






25 Senate Place


850 Newark (4 Stories)


Canco Lofts - any reason they aren't finishing?




333 Grand - next Liberty Harbor North building, 12 stories. Sales office gone


153 Morgan St (6 stories)


The Embankment


Various small downtown construction-rehab projects
































And one from McGinley Square

Jersey City from today

URL








From Paulus Hook




Trump 2










Robust sidewalk protection being built across the street, no doubt because of last week's incident (piece of concrete fell and hit an officer)


Site of the Morgan, phase 2. Still being used for parking/construction


The Oakman




M2






The One - they took off the advertisement, and now there's just a big ugly hole in the parking garage






Modera Lofts








And a picture from nearly the same angle from the end of April - progress has been pretty slow (on the outside at least)


99 Hudson site - only car in the lot is the site security guy


70 and 80 Columbus - the hotel has slowed down recently, but they did just load up some steel on the top so it should probably start rising again soon












33 Park




55 Hudson lot


Hudson Exchange West

Assortment of smaller projects

153 Morgan


Park in front of The One - no park improvements yet


143 2nd St - a shame this is going to be storage. If there's nothing at ground level it will make a big hole in the streetscape


Downtown Pharmacy @ 18 Park - don't know if this is new or not but I noticed it recently


Exchange Place hotel






30 Montgomery - most windows replaced. Could be worse, but this location should have had something bigger






New pop-up shop on Columbus


141-143 Newark Ave


144 Newark Ave


Wayne & Columbus


330 Barrow St - not sure if the sign is for this site or a different one


Columbus & Jersey Ave - this building is actually pretty large




Both yellow parts are part of the same building


Across the street, also undergoing some renovation


Vito A Lofts


Miso Ramen, new restaurant


The store at the corner is also being converted to a restaurant


251 Newark Ave




239-249 Newark, the site next to it


Sussex Ave




193-213 Van Vorst


Powerhouse


Evertrust - looks like just utility work? Wish they would do something about their site - the grassy area could hold another tower

To me, it looks as if Modena Lofts' bricks are getting powerwashed, and a thin layer of new mortar (not bricks) added.
