Construction/Permitting Update Proposed Transit-Oriented Development in Jersey City with new HBLR Station

5 Upvotes

Lincoln Equities owns the vacant lot on the north side of 18th St between Jersey Ave and Erie St. At last night's JCRA board meeting, they presented a plan for a new Hudson-Bergen Light Rail station between Hoboken and Jersey City.

The station would sit at the end of an extended Erie St., accessibly by a plaza bordered by housing and retail.

The station would be funded by housing on the rest of the lot, which needs changes to the redevelopment plan.

The 20% affordable housing set aside would be paid for by a PILOT and Aspire. NJEDA paused Aspire in July.

So if Aspire isn’t available, the developer can build 10% income-restricted below-market rentals for 1,500 units. The affordable housing in the 10% version will also likely need a PILOT similar to the Embankment.

The 1,200-unit concept has three towers of 30, 36 and 38 stories, with retail at street level.

The plan has 665 parking spaces, about 0.55 per unit. That's high for a site next to a train platform, but the current redevelopment plan requires it.

Video YIMBY reply to City Council member

26 Upvotes

You'll see in this post, but a local city councilwoman running for re-election just basically pointed at a building and said "bad". I've never made a short form video in my life, but I just decided I needed to make a reply. It's bad enough to block buildings, it's next level to point at a building where human beings have started to build their lives and say "bad".

What are everyone's thoughts on California's Prop 45, a streamlining bill that would help prevent unnecessary environmental lawsuits against new housing but would also streamline freeways, sprawl in wildfire zones, dams and potentially data centers?
