255 Grand Street

The new tower rising on the corner of Grand Street and Marin Blvd, just north of Gull's Cove has made some remarkable progress, adding two floors and extending the base around the property. The most remarkable thing about this building is how it illustrates the height variation along Marin Blvd. The foundation wall rises dramatically as it approaches Grand Street.

I've heard 12 and 18. I'm not sure if either is accurate.

I live in older brownstone building, one more floor and I'll never see sun setting into Beacon Towers again. Arghhhhhhhhh.

i like that JC is continuing to get developed, but is it getting developed too quickly? i mean, are enough people moving in to sustain the development?

12 to 18 lol there goes my view of Grand Street :). Rec you make a great point, it seems that the developers are really banking on the growth of JC. The only issue is that people are losing jobs, and minus the "lower" cost of living JC pull does not seem as great (e.g., PATH at night is horrible, lack of grocery, nightlife options etc...) it would be great if they finally did prop up that Whole Foods
