An upcoming phase of a massive Hoboken undertaking has been redesigned significantly and is hoping to swap out an approved office complex for a mixed-use building that has a smaller ground-floor footprint.
During a community meeting, officials from NJ Transit and LCOR revealed planned changes they hope to enact for Hoboken Connect.

The company is looking for redevelopment changes to an already approved office tower that would rise at Site 1. The property, which sits directly next to the entrance to the PATH train, is approved for a 21-story, 704,355-square-foot office building that features ground-floor retail.
But LCOR representatives claimed during the community meeting that an office building on Site 1 is not economically feasible, as three years of pre-leasing efforts have generated “zero interest” from prospective tenants. As a result, they hope to shift gears and have brought on Morris Adjmi Architects to design a new vision for the land.

Instead of the office building, LCOR envisions 365 residential rental units in a building with diverse uses. Under their proposed plan, the rental homes would break down as 70% market rate, 10% workforce housing, and 20% set-aside low/moderate income housing.
The first few floors of the property would include office space for NJ Transit, which would pay rent for about 23,000 square feet of space. The City of Hoboken would also get almost 16,000 square feet of office space rent-free under the proposed deal.
The ground floor of the property would still add to the streetscape, including 5,600 square feet of retail space split between two storefronts.

The new design of the building features about 34% less gross square footage and would leave an existing bus lane in the area clear, with no building over it, as the previous plan included. The entirety of the new building would include 29 floors, making it slightly taller than the nearby Charlie property.
Over the next 15 months, LCOR plans to pursue amendments to the redevelopment plan that governs the area along with the design and approvals for the building.
