During their October 7 meeting, Jersey City’s Planning Board granted Preliminary Site Approval to a project at 660 Grove Street. The 81,759 square foot property currently consists of a one-story warehouse, which would be torn down under the proposal.
Designed by MHS Architects, the project would consist of a two-phased development consisting of two towers on a four-story base. Both high-rises would top out at 17 stories and 169 feet in height, with phase one of the project including the base.
The totals of the project are ambitious, including 1,000 residential units plus 11,947 square feet of retail and 350 parking spaces. Phase one would boast 542 dwelling units, with 81 set aside as affordable housing.
The second portion would feature the remaining 458 dwelling units with 69 set aside as affordable housing. The breakdown of the combined units in both building skews smaller, consisting of 528 studios, 240 one-bedrooms, 171 two-bedrooms, and 61 three-bedroom units.
