A twin with 90 Hudson Street, 70 Hudson is part of the Colgate Center redevelopment project of Jersey City's Waterfront along Hudson Street. The design reflects a modern interpretation of classical elements-- a classic colonnaded portico surrounds the base of the building, though this has been filled with glass. The three part facade also recalls nineteenth and early twentieth century American architecture, which of course also looked back to classic buildings for inspiration.

Powerhouse

The Powerhouse was built in 1906 to power the railroads running in the Tubes connecting the Jersey City waterfront and Manhattan. The Tubes later became the PATH system, although the Powerhouse has been idle for more than a half century. In recent years, the powerhouse has developed a cult following and was the namesake to the now defunct Powerhouse Arts District. The district was designed to provide discounted housing for artists to encourage a lively arts community. The powerhouse is currently undergoing renovations, though a final plan has not been resolved. High rise development around the Powerhouse will almost certainly put further pressure on preservation efforts.

101 Hudson Street

Completed in 1992, it was, for a short time, the tallest building in New Jersey until the Goldman Sachs tower (30 Hudson Street) surpassed it. The building draws many cues from early twentieth century architecture and despite its thoroughly modern construction, and is cleary influenced by the Art Deco palaces of the 1920's and 1930's. Indeed, the building even includes setbacks at progressively higher levels, a feature of classics like The Empire State and Chrysler buildings in New York, but which has fallen out of favor in more recent years.

In 2004 the building was sold to Mack-Cali, a major real estate holder in Jersey City. Currently the tower is home largely to Merrill Lynch.
