Liberty Harbor Gets Patriotic

Liberty Harbor North, the massive planned community in Jersey City is rapidly moving towards opening the first phase of the project. That means its time for detail work like decorative features. Apparently someone in the design department went star crazy:







More Stars along Grand Street:



Details on the faux brownstones have started going in to, like the decorative trim on top of the rounded sections:

Hamilton Square

McWilliams Place along the east side of Hamilton Park will be closed while construction on Hamilton Square continues. When the project is finished, the head on parking along the park will be removed, extending Hamilton Park east by a few feet and turning McWilliams into a one way street.





Dirt is being moved around all over the site of Hamilton Square:



The main tower of the old St. Francis Hospital is still being cleared of the old debris.



One step back: one the new wall panels previously installed in the old tower has since been removed:
