The Athena Condominium Tower, A, on Washington Street in Jersey City is nearly complete on the exterior.

Westin Hotel Tower

The Westin Hotel Tower did not have any glass installed when we took the photos, but probably will soon. The foundations for the smaller building that will attach to the tower on the north side have been laid.

111 First Street Rubble Remains

The only thing that remains of the old warehouse at 111 First Street is piles of rubble waiting to be cleared.

109 Columbus

109 Columbus is a smaller, mixed use apartment / retail building going in on Columbus Drive. The building had been making great progress for a while, but recently has slowed its pace of construction. The foundation and basement walls seem to have gone up so far:

Brunswick St at Second Street

A new building's foundation was laid on the corner of Brunswick and Second Street.

Monaco: Little Progress

The Monaco Towers construction continues to be nothing more than a pile of steel retaining walls:

Site: Metropolitan

The Metropolitan is a proposed 67 story, 755 foot tower proposed as the first building in an 8 tower plan for the Metro Plaza shopping center. Tower would be when built, the highest residential tower, and the second tallest tower in the state, behind Goldman Sachs. The Metropolitan would include a retail base and more than 800 residential units. The building was designed by Miami architectural firm Arquitonica, also responsible for Newport's proposed Ellipse building.

Site: York Street at Warren St Tower

This site has gone before the zoning and historic commissions over the past several months. Things seem to be on track to allow an 11 story mixed used building that will include apartments and retail space. The lots are technically within the Paulus Hook historic district, though the only buildings on the lot are non contributing structures.

Lofts at Liberty Harbor

The Lofts building is another larger building going in during phase I. Renderings of the final product and a floor plan are online, discovered by an intrepid poster over on the discussion board.

Liberty Harbor North

Trees have been planted along Grand Street:



The entrances to the brownstone style units have been finished off with columns:



The Sutton and the Lofts are visible down one of Liberty Harbor's new streets.

Gulls Cove

Gulls Cove, southern facade, over looking the light rail station.



The Lofts at Liberty Harbor are visible in the background; eventually a new street will sit in front of Gulls Cove:



The northern facade from Grand Street:







Large pipes are now on the lot between Grand Street and Gulls Cove. Eventually this will be the site of another tower.

Columbus Plaza

The mid-rise section extending west from the main tower has a mini glass tower on the end now:

Grove Pointe

Grove Pointe has moved into the the final stages of exterior work. Along Newark Avenue, the fences have been removed revealing future retail spaces:





The entrance to the residences in the building is still under construction:





The Marin Blvd Facade:





Grove Pointe at the PATH Station plaza.

321 First Street

321 First Street is just west of Newark Avenue in the downtown. While a rather small development project, 321 First Street is significant because the developer, Mushroom Development, has proposed the Bates Project, a larger property near the downtown Pathmark shopping Plaza.



The units, to the detriment of the neighborhood, have three curb cuts for three separate garages.

154 Steuben

154 Steuben Street, a smallish condominium project going up in the Powerhouse District, has made some quick progress.

77 Hudson Street

Looking north along Greeen Street from Sussex with 101 Hudson Street in the background. The Western tower had been moving more slowly than the eastern one, but now the western tower has surpassed the eastern tower by two floors.


Looking west from Hudson Street:

Sutton At Liberty Harbor

Brick work continues on the western facade of the Sutton building, though on the east side the blue insulation is still fully exposed.



The lofts building just south of the Sutton has recently received the wall framing.



From the Jersey Avenue Light Rail Station:

369 Fifth Street

The site was a warehouse 2 months ago, but at the end of May the structure was ripped down. The original plans called for a two story extension with residential units on top and a garage on the street level. Apparently, that is not what is currently under construction. The site at the corner of Brunswick and Fifth Street has a large crane and massive pilings being pounded into the ground.

Trump Tower

Note: Photos from the week of June 3rd

Trump's Jersey City tower continues to rise each week. The tower is now clearly visible from the Palisades cliffs and the New Jersey Turnpike, an icon on the skyline.



The powerhouse and Athena tower are visible on the far right:

111 First Street: Gone

The warehouse at 111 First Street has been reduced to a pile of rubble.

Westin Hotel Tower

Jersey City's Westin Hotel is starting to get its skin:

Monaco Towers

Work on the Monaco Towers seems to be a weekday activity, and on the weekends, the site is turned back into the parking lot of the hotel. However, more metal retaining walls have been delivered

Hamilton Square

The main tower largely has its new walls installed.







Below the northern face of the building which will overlook a new mid rise tower to built on the north west corner of the site. The new building will likely be adjacent to this one where there are no windows.



The big hole just north of the old tower will eventually be the foundation for new construction.





Along McWilliam's Place, the sidewalk has been restored-- formerly there were head on parking spaces. The chain link fence has been replaced with the historic style.

Newport Shore

The north tower from the parking lot of the Jersey City Target.





The plaza in front of the Shore South tower is also progressing quickly.

Grant / Cleveland

The Ulysses S. Grant and the Grover Cleveland are two Newport projects planned for 270 Tenth Street and 310 Tenth Street, on top of the existing Tenth street embankment. These two low rise building will likely be similar to The Roosevelt and The Lincoln, both on further east on Tenth Street.

Some time in the last few weeks several pilings have been nailed into the Tenth Street embankment, but little else has happened.

Aqua

Schroeder Lofts

The Schroeder Lofts near the northern side of the Hamilton Park section of Jersey City are nearly complete. This week the construction fencing was removed from around most of the building, sidewalks were installed and trees planted on Tenth Street.



Along 10th Street:



The corner of 10th and Erie:



The western corner:



Looking west down Tenth Street:



These large windows will presumably hold a retail establishment:

Gulls Cove

Gulls Cove continues to have window installations as well as some facade work.

At Barrow street, a new traffic light was installed and Liberty View Drive street signs went up several months ago:



Further east along Grand Street and Liberty Harbor becomes a bit more avant guard.
