Newport Shore North Tower

This will likely be the last update of Newport's Shore Club since Newport's rent-a-cops sent us away claiming the street was private property and photography was prohibited. The nuances of private, public, and semi-public property are no doubt lost on minimum wage GED holders in uniforms, and arguing really isn't worth our aggravation considering the multitude of other interesting projects freely accessible in downtown Jersey City. Their sudden interest in our photography might be evident in the below photograph of the north tower-- bottom right is the base of the 31 story Aqua going in due East of the Shore Club:





Three floors left:

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

The future river market will be housed in the low rise section connecting the two towers:

The North Tower of the Shore Club is quickly gaining its outer glass shell.

Shore Club

Newport's Shore Club complex is quickly moving towards completion with South tower residents moving in and glass rapidly racing up the sides of the North Tower.





Eventually a plaza will be completed in front of the Shore Club.



Glass is being installed on the North Tower. This photo was outdated hours after it was taken; glass has been installed on several higher floors already.







Looking east from Washington Blvd.



The Parking deck of Shore Club will include parking for new, yet to be built towers including Aqua.

Shore Club

The north tower is beginning to get glass installed around the lower floors. Below, the Shore club tower as seen from 14th Street. Soon two more towers will be rising between Washington Blvd and the Shore Club's north tower.

The mid-rise section connecting the Shore Club towers will contain retail shops at street level:

Eventually the area in front of the Shore Club will be landscaped:

The mid-rise section connecting the Shore Club's North and South tower will have a "River Market," a fancy way of saying retail shops, including a gourmet grocery.

Trying to get the towers in context with their older neighbors is difficult:

The two towers from River Drive:

The Holland Tunnel ventilation unit sits between The Shore Club and the Hudson River. The Aqua will soon break ground alongside of the vent building, in front of the Shore.

Curbs for a road along the north side of the shoe club have been poured years ago. This aligns with the Target parking lot entrance.

The Shore Club

The Shore Club is nearing completion as the asphalt along the newest extension of River Drive has been poured, and the North tower is nearly as tall as the South tower.



Look at the pretty brick sidewalk:



The south tower is nearly finished, except for a few random windows that have been filled in with various materials. Are windows falling out? Did someone forget to order enough glass?



In the south tower, balcony dividers lay against the railing waiting for installation.

The North tower seems to be taking off.



Below the mid rise facade connecting the towers looks like its really coming together.



More Glass is being installed on the south tower every day.

Shore Club

Jersey City's Shore Club continues its ascent. Below, the North Tower from Washington Street.

The North Tower and the low rise section connecting the two towers from River Drive.





Both towers:

The Shore Club

The Shore Club is rising along the water front of Jersey City. Below, the south tower next to some of the older Newport residences as seen from Erie Street.

The Shore Club North Tower

The Shore Clubs twin towers are quickly rising on the Newport water front. Below, both towers are seen looking southeast from the parking lot of Target.

Below, the south tower rises alongside one of Newport's older towers, although in a community only two decades new, its all relative.


The two towers as they rise on either side of the existing tower.

The Shore Club

The Shore Club is rising along the Hudson River in what is presently the northern frontier of the Newport area of Jersey City. The towers contain a great deal more glass than many of the older residential counterparts, and probably are doing a great job obstructing the views some of the earlier constructed towers had.



Below, the southern entrance of the building looking east towards New York. The Shore Club should have great views of Manhattan, except for those poor fools who get to stare at the Holland Tunnel ventalation system.



A closeup of the entrance to the Shore Club as it faces Newport Parkway. In the foggy distance is Manhattan.


Along the waterfront, the South tower is nearly complete. The North tower is beginning to rise. To the right of the picture is the Hudson River and Manhattan.
