Brunswick and Second Street

This small lot was cleared earlier this past summer and checking in a few months later has revealed this:

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.

Morgan Street at Grove

Along Morgan Street directly behind the Grove Pointe Parking garage is the frame of a new addition to an old building. The historic structure fronts Manila (Grove) Street, but the extension coming from the back fronts Morgan.



Strictly speaking, this might be two separate construction projects, though they are both going up simultaneously, and since the buildings share a common wall, we lumped them both together.

109 Christopher Columbus Drive

We mentioned this little development a while back. Located just west of Grove Street on Columbus Drive, the 18 residential unit mixed use building will also have 10,000 square feet of retail space. Christopher Columbus Drive has been relatively dormant as far as redevelopment and investment in new construction goes. This building, a half block away from the proposed Columbus Corner, might very well be the beginning of a new era of Columbus Drive, assuming the Columbus Corner Project breaks ground this summer.

Meanwhile, as late as December last year, this site was a commuter parking lot by day, and a place that collected the homeless by night. Now there is a big hole in the ground:

Lot Cleared on Monmouth Street

What had been a small building a few weeks back is now an empty lot, presumably waiting for new construction. This is between Newark and First Street:

This small project at the corner of Grand, Barrow, and Liberty View Drive has quickly gone from empty lot to framed foundation.

296 Grand Street

This small project is advancing rapidly with foundation molds built waiting for concrete. Below, from Grand Street looking North along Barrow towards Van Vorst Park:

296 Grand Street

At the corner of Barrow and Grand, a wooden frame is being installed for what we assume is for a poured concrete foundation.



Also note the stump of a new traffic signal being installed as part of the Liberty Harbor North development across the street:

First Street

Just off Newark Avenue, this block along First Street is turning into quite a little development:







It appears basements for at least two more units may have been dug.

296 Grand Street

Yes, it seems those are wood pilings:

296 Grand Street

The lot is getting some wooden poles delivered and then buried in the ground. We're at loss to explain this:

Update: A tipster points out that in some cases, small buildings can use wooden poles instead of steel for pilings, which is probably the case.





Earlier in the week, the lot had been prepped with fresh gravel:

First Street

This development is going in on First Street between Monmouth and Varick. We couldn't find any specifics about the site, nor is the address particularly clear. We think this is 313 First Street.

109 Christopher Columbus Drive

It seems this small lot on Christopher Columbus Drive is about to become a mixed-use building. Once a commuter parking lot, heavy equipment was moved in a few weeks back. Now it seems they've broken ground. Apparently the building will included 10,000 feet of retail and 18 residential units.

229 Montgomery Street Final Stages

Watching this project sprout from an empty lot nearly two years ago makes it kind of exciting to see finishing touches like perimeter fences going in.

Grove Street Park

The small park at the Grove Street PATH station has been reopened, though hopefully this is not the finish product.
