Has construction began at Warren and 2nd? I noticed some movement/action on the site lately
Thanks, tbal.
I suppose the next building we'll see rise from across the river is the 68 storey Journal Square tower?
JCMAN, that jcconstruction link you posted above takes you to some bible college website. That can't be what you intended, right?
fyi, i expanded my google map to include jersey city:

there's links to the Jersey City construction blog which is an excellent site (not sure if that blogger reads WNY, but kudos to him anyway)...

Thanks NYatKnight here is the link with new photos of the city's new public safety office.
A few pics of JC that I love. Perspective is everything (at least with photography).

A great downtown view with the SOL and Verazzano in the distance. A good reminder to close your blinds at night. (VTShep1)
Awaiting an oracle from above, or just great effects (Poppa-D)
Good link, JCMan. A good complement to New York's SixthOriginally Posted by JCMAN320
NYatKnight - I could be wrong about this, but it looks like the next building (really buildings) that will be rising on this side are the Monaco Towers. I'll post photos sometime during the day to show you all what's going on at the site.
payanks00 - Warren & Second? I assume that you're talking about 110 First Street. I know HRH posted their logo all around the site a few months ago, and they had the trailers set up and tons of reams of rebar piled up on the 111 First Site since about a year ago.
If you think about it, the developers of the Monaco Towers & City Center Towers have alot at stake and a huge incentive to begin construction (history-making tax abatements). The developers of 110 First Street don't have an incentive to start right away, but they do have equipment and materials onsite already - so this building may begin to rise within the next year but not as soon as the Roseland & MEPT projects. Finally, neither Panepinto nor Toll has much of an incentive to begin construction soon since neither developer received an abatement, so I think it may be late 2009 before ground breaks on 70-90 Columbus, and sometime between early 2010 and early 2011 before ground breaks on the Toll Bros towers (but who knows?).
Btw - I've heard through a colleague working with the lead architect for Toll's Jersey City project that the plans have been virtually complete for awhile - although I'm sure that they'll undergo some small changes here and there depending on market conditions.
I had heard from a reliable source that 110 First Street's problem was a shortage of financing for the project. This could have changed I suppose but if the financial types are to be believed, we're in a credit crisis.
Downtown JC Construction Update (Part 1):
ianmac, you definitely might have heard right from your source. As you'll see below, both of the rigs used for piling were removed from the 110 First site over the past few days (although it looked like some new construction materials - piping, for example - was also delivered to the site recently).
110 First Street:
Monaco Towers:
Construction at the Monaco towers site seems to be in full swing. Crew members from Nacirema Demo were onsite disassembling the outdoor lighting fixtures around the DoubleTree parking lot, a new entrance/exit has been constructed for the hotel, and several pieces of heavy equipment and a crew were onsite today. Crushed stone was spread to create a temporary driveway for construction vehicles, and excavation has begun.
Relocated DoubleTree driveway:
213 Newark Ave:
The building is split into two sections above the (partially underground) garage, with a courtyard between. There will be 5 stories above street level when the building is completed, and 3 have been constructed so far.
Looking East toward the rear section of the building:
Sutton II (?):
This 9-story building was constructed just west of the Sutton, and it looks like it will have a significant square footage of retail on its first level.
Looking East from the Jersey Ave Light Rail station:
View of the new canal-like street formed by Sutton and it's neighbors:
2 Second Street/Crystal Pointe:
The facade is halfway up the tower, with the exception of the base which has not been clad with anything yet:
Looking Southeast with the WFC in the background:
Downtown JC Construction Update (Part II)
Applied Co. Rental Building:
This is being constructed at the corner of Grand Street & Marin Blvd. Alot of heavy equipment is onsite, demolishing & removing foundations from the structures that used to occupy the site, and beginning its excavation. The building is to have two setbacks, forming sections of (I believe) 5, 8, & 11 stories (I know it was originally 4, 8, & 12, but Applied revised the design):
View from Grand Street, looking Southeast:
New Medical Office Building:
This is going up next to the Medical Center on Jersey Ave, toward Liberty State Park. A rig was being delivered today and site clearing was taking place (and yes, I know this picture sucks):
And finally, this smaller building at the corner of Barrow & Grand looks pretty awesome with it's metallic paneling (I'm not quite sure of the address, but I think it's 396 Grand):
Excellent!
great pics tbal! thx!
Awesome, looks like a mini construction boom going on in JC. Are there any renderings of the Applied building aside from the small picture they have on their website? I am real interested in what the building will look like. It has a huge footprint! Thanks for posting the pics.
That canal like street is actually Canal St. in Jersey City. lol. Great pics. This is good news for the smaller buildings being built. One on Culver. Ave here on the Westside has sat incomplete since August, but today going by I saw the construction fence open with workers fixing some small damage done by the elements to the unfinished structure.
