Residents are now being told it will be 2 weeks!

I'm confused, why would the architect know when the developer is going to open the sales office?

I agree that they're not vacating. But what information do you have that GS (or more specifically Hines) and Mack-Cali will build new office buildings when there is a 20% vacancy rate now for Class-A...

That's 133-135 Greenwich St -or- 25 Thames St. The Copper Group is the Developer, they also are developing The Jade Jagger designed 16 West 19th St - Jade Condo in Chelsea.

I love how anytime there is objection to a development the easiest counter-argument is "NIMBYism".

Bayrock/Saphir thought they found a loop-hole to the existing zoning and tried to build a condo...

It's plywood. Try walking by the building and taking a look at it.

The original plans had called for <1,100 sf 2 bedrooms. In that location, close to 1,200/sf is tough considering you will have little light and air, and the Holland Tunnel traffic so close.

I'm confused. How does taking on a partner help control costs? The design of the building is what determines building costs. Yes a more experienced developer might be able to buy out the job better,...

Model of urban future: Jersey City?By Rick Hampson, USA TODAY


JERSEY CITY — Once, this was a city of browns and grays. Railroads owned a third of the land, and trains rumbled night and day to...

I'm coming from the other side. I think Guiliani was a terrible Mayor who did a great job during a horrible time. He looked especially great compared with the President who did and continues to look...

Its not just the '201 Area Code'. It's the blackhole that Trenton politics and especially Hudson County have become. It's the high property taxes and poor services people receive. Its the ridiculous...

Did anyone else see that the plywood forms for the next floor of the condo tower were on fire Friday night? My guess is someone dropped a cigarette that lit up the Form Release. It looked a lot worse...

What makes it "look like it might get built"?

The Milsteins don't own the Robin Raj, they own the vacant lot. The Sun was referring to the vacant lot when it refered to the Milsteins having a plan for an 8 story building. Jane Goldman owns the...

Lofter: re-read the story you posted. It says southEAST corner. That would be the vacant lot that runs from 14th to 13th East of 3rd Ave - not the Robin Raj general store that is on the southWEST...

Not to bring up an old(er) topic, but if you read the article it vacancy stats are about Class A office space in Jersey City. Nothing off the waterfront qualifies as Class A in Jersey City.

Yes.

Jack Parker has plans for those blocks. There haven't been any concrete plans shown, but if you read back in this thread it details what was approved in terms of height and density.

You mean on the east side of Hudson?

It's part of City Water Tunnel #3, the 50 year project (started in 1970) to provide additional water to NYC from Upstate.

I had seen Laboz's plans when they were done by Gwathmey. Nice design, ridiculously expensive build. Laboz spent most of last year trying to flip the project, he was asking almost $1,000/buildable...
