The project proposes a (2)-story base with (5) interior parking spaces and 8,776 SF of commercial/retail space. The tower will contain 22 residential floors with 169 units. The 25th floor will be utilized for indoor and outdoor amenity. Two visitor parking spaces are allocated outside in the private drive. An outdoor patio is proposed for the ground floor commercial/retail. The “Sewer Easement Height Bonus” of the Morris Canal Redevelopment Plan XI(A)(4)(c)(xi) is being utilized for the project.

Can see the windows being installed. I count 19 floors with the 20th being poured. So 5 more floors to go. While not remarkable for JC, this building is super prominent in its area, the next tallest building is only 8 floors. Also they’ve been building this super fast. 12 floors in about 8 weeks. ---
