In 2016, this site was slated for a 5-story, 16-unit building with ground floor retail. In 2018, plans grew to an 8-story building with 32 units. Now the plan is a 29-story residential building consisting of 160 units and ancillary amenity space. No car parking, but 80 bike parking. No renderings yet. It is the parcel b3tween the mural on the left, and the telephone pole on the right. ![181217](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/yimby/original/3X/c/b/cba47c641b703d150bb5b4b81692f67a44c638d9.jpeg) ---

I would think the M & T Bank drive thru and parking lot to the south of this property would be developed as well. ---

The M&T site was recently sold, but I am not sure which developer bought it. It is zoned for a 51-story tower. The county owns the garage next door on the Hoboken Ave side, which is also zoned for 51 stories, and there have been discussions of combining the M&T site and the county site. Would make sense to fold 616 Summit into the M&T site too since 616 Summit can only build 29 stories as a standalone site, but they seem intent on going forward on their own. ---

Finally nice to see movement here. It’s looked like this for way too long
