The Jersey City Westin was topped off a few weeks back and facade work continues with concrete slabs on the western wall.

109 Columbus Drive

109 Columbus drive is a small mixed use building three lots west of Grove Street. The 10,000 square feet of retail in the base is rumored to be a "wellness center" which sounds to us like some place hippies go for herbal medicines. Apartments will fill out the top of the building, no word as to whether they will be rentals or condominiums. The lot had been a parking lot a few months back, and this is a major step forward into building an urban landscape down Columbus Drive.

At least the developer has so far left the trees along the street providing shade to the front of the building.

This four unit condominium project along Grand Street, just north of Liberty Harbor, seems to be slowing down.

111 First Street: A few Bricks Still Standing

Little remains of the former warehouse at 111 First Street. The last bit of western walls along Warren Street are still up, but those will soon be gone as well.

First Street (315 First)

This is a small development on First Street just west of Newark Avenue:

Aqua has a few pilings in the ground, but nothing yet that stands out above the ground level.

Monaco Towers

The Monaco Towers are a new apartment complex being constructed at the corner of Sixth and Washington along Jersey City's Waterfront. The Monaco towers will include a parking garage in the base. The complete site plan includes a third tower, the San Remo to be built south of the existing hotel at Metro Plaza Drive and Washington. The towers were designed by SLCE Architects, and according to Emporis, Monaco North and South will be 47 floors.

From Sixth Street, vegetation obscures the crane, but a yet to be installed piling lays on the parking lot.



From the Metro Plaza parking lot, just west of the light rail tracks, more activity is evident on the old parking lot. The 67 story Metropolitan is planned to be built where the photographer is standing. In the background is the skeleton of the new Westin Hotel.

Liberty Harbor North

Exciting things are happening this week in the Liberty Harbor Development. First, a large swath of land south of the light rail station along Jersey Avenue has been cleared, presumably for the next phase of construction.



Looking south east from Jersey Avenue towards the Morris Canal.



The second exciting bit of news is the ground breaking for another large building, known for now as building #2 on the official Liberty Harbor website. Below, building #2 has been highlighted:



A closer look reveals some metal things coming out from the foundation:

296 Grand Street

296 Grand Street is a 5 unit condominium development along Grand street between the Liberty Harbor North Development and Van Vorst Park.

Liberty Harbor North

A large dirt pile has amassed in the distant regions of the Liberty Harbor property; whiles its hard to see here, its probably 2 or 3 stories high:





Below, two of the historic buildings that have been incorporated into the new development appear to have commercial retail space cut into their facades.

Westin Hotel Tower, Topped Off, Facade Work

The light rail line has been closed and will be closed between Newport and Harsimus Cove for several weekends while the Westin Hotel facade is installed on the western side of the wall. In the below series, its evident why the rail line is closed as the concrete slabs are hoisted over the tracks:

154 Steuben has quickly sprouted from the ground:

Morris Street

Morris street runs through the heart of Paulus Hook and has mostly historically preserved brownstone structures. This project near the corner of Greene Street appears to include refurbishing an older building with the addition of a new wing. Just next door is the recently completed Morris Street Terrace, a small group of modern brownstone style rentals.

Belfuse

The Belfuse apartment building on the site of the old Bel Fuse factory is moving quite slowly. After a quick demolition of the old buildings, the site has around for the last several weeks. The most recent change has been the addition of a black plastic tarp over half the site.

77 Hudson Street Reaches Surface

77 Hudson Street has spent the last few months playing in the dirt and laying sub grade foundations. This week the base of the tower has popped out of the ground. We're expecting the base to take a few weeks before the towers make a rapid ascent skyward.



Looking west towards the Paulus Hook area. The northeast corner of the property has the most activity so far.





Looking north, 101 Hudson Street, the mid-90's art deco office tower looms over the project.



The western side of 77 Hudson Street has been slower throughout the whole of the construction process. But looking at the renderings, its likely that the entirety of the base will need to be installed before either tower rises.

Hamilton Square has suddenly had a burst of vigorous change with the installation of the yellow walls.

Hamilton Park has been reclaimed along McWilliam's Place. Where once there was head on parking, there is now a large sidewalk to match the other four sides of the park.

154 Stueben Street

When last we checked in with 154 Stueben Street, the concrete had been poor just higher than the street level. So we were a little shocked to find this:
