Crazy. I knew someone who used to live there when I was in first grade lol. This neighborhood is changing rapidly in every direction.

New York has to start taking some notes from Jersey City and JSQ, get their act together, and force forward the pipeline of more housing. Compared to Jersey, NYC is doing disgusting. Too many processes involved, ULURP, rezoning process, community input by communities/wackos who are against development, Council approval, etc. It’s amazing how quick jersey is getting all this development done. It’s doing probably better (and faster) than the Brooklyn, Queens and the Bronx combined.

Jersey City is definitely doing a good job - thanks to a pretty supportive council. The same can’t really be said for the rest of Jersey though - it’s much more like NYC and surroundings, with people fighting tooth and nail against any increase in density.

It’s happening. There was a groundbreaking 3 days ago. It’s been rebranded to “166 Van Reipen Ave” but it’s still officially a 96-110 Tonnele Ave address.

The entire lobby on the first floor will be a publicly accessible space.
