Sometimes the people on this board make me sick. I hate to think that my neighbors who appear to be so friendly are in reality so lacking in compassion.

I actually only live a couple of blocks from the mall but I always drive. Yup, I like driving.

Don't you live near a Path or light rail station? It never pays, in time or finances, to drive to the Newport Mall unless you don't live close to a station.

Not the point. I had to have the car to transport materials. It sucked for all reasons it didn't need to.

Spotlight 2013: Major development projects are in the works for Jersey City

With all the development already on the Jersey City waterfront, what's next?

Several major developments are planned or in the works.

While residential development continues to dominate new construction projects, Newport developer the LeFrak Organization is working to find a tenant for the proposed Pier 6 office development before shovels are put in the ground.

Once a tenant signs a long-term lease for the proposed development adjacent to the Newport Marina, construction can begin, Brian DeCillis, regional marketing director for the LeFrak Organization, told the recent New Jersey Gold Coast Investment Summit held at Maritime Parc in Jersey City's Liberty State Park.

Depending on the requirements of the tenant, the proposed office building would include one or two 11- to 17-story towers that would provide 300,000 to 1.25 million square feet of office space, he said.

"We have had several large high-quality companies that have expressed interest in our proposal," he said. "At this point, we don't have anyone ready to go."

LeFrak is currently building Laguna, a 158-unit residential rental building set for completion later this year or early next year near a 4.5-acre park at the north end of Newport, DeCillis said.

Since 1985, the LeFrak Organization's $2.5 billion Newport project has delivered 4,700 residential units, 5 million square feet of office space, 616 hotel rooms and 1.7 million feet of retail space on the 400-acre site.

Elsewhere, development partners Ironstate Development Co. of Hoboken and Kushner Real Estate Group of Bridgewater are constructing an 11-story, residential and retail development with 422 rental apartments, 10,500 square feet of ground-level retail space and 230 parking spaces in the 80-acre Liberty Harbor Redevelopment District, next to the Marin Boulevard Hudson-Bergen Light Rail Station.

KRE, whose previous Jersey City developments include 225 Grand St. and Grove Pointe on Marin Boulevard, also received planning permission in December to build a long-awaited multi-tower residential development in a lot adjacent to the Journal Square PATH station. The proposed development - known as Journal Square Center Towers - includes three 54- to 70-story towers with 1,840 rental units and 40,000 square feet of retail space.

Downtown, Ironstate Development and Jersey City-based Panepinto Properties plan to build 70-90 Columbus Towers at the Grove Street PATH Station with two 58-story towers delivering a 150-room hotel, 16,620 square feet of retail space and a parking garage with 1,100 parking spaces.

The Newport stop is shorter, but when the weather is nice I prefer the Hoboken stop. A chance to get exercise, take in views

So much for the journalistic skill of observation. Did this guy NOT notice anything about the neighborhood demographics as soon as he got off the train (or even on the train itself)? Or are we supposed to just feel honored that the Voice deigned to even ride the PATH? News tip to the Village Voice: the cinema at Newport Mall shows Bollywood films from time to time.

Yep. And for whatever reason many stores on Brighton Beach cater to the Russians.

This is truly a mystery wrapped in enigma and served with borsht.

They should build new condos. Inventory is so low and demand is high enough that they would sell very quickly...

I see trucks with what seems like pile driver equipment. Is LeFrak starting to build something there?

Newport::Parking overnight on Washington Blvd across from Target - legal?
Used to live in the James Madison. If I remember right the street there is No Parking from 7 am to 6 pm. If you want to park there, you need to be hovering at right around 6 pm. It fills up fast after work.

Like the previous said, move your car by 7 on the dot or you will have a ticket and/or boot.

Yes, we could see that the new Kerney Heliport was in full swing today - as we were driving by -- after getting off the Turnpike at exit 15E.
