OK, is anyone else in the Regent that lives on the side of the building facing the parking lot finding the flood lights to be a bit ridiculous? I need to buy an eye mask just so I can sleep, as shutting the blinds isn't helping.
Maybe it's just me, but I think they should reposition the lights so they aren't pointing into the direction of our building. Am I crazy to think this? I mean, I know it won't happen, but one can dream. Just venting, I suppose. Also, the parties in the parking lot at 2:00 am are getting old. Just sayin'.

Unfortunately, I live in the Regent, and the same thing happens here. We don't have them as often but from we had one last weekend, and the fire company never came. Disturbing? Yes. Not unusual for living in the parallel universe of LH, however.

He needs to have tacos from Taqueria, with a Mojito from Bar Majestic....followed by a smoothie from Subias, and a drink at Skinner's Loft.

Um ok. Thanks for the insight. However, I don't think your

What items would you like to see stocked in this type of store? For example, would you prefer Snapple over Nestea? Crest over Colgate? St. Ives over Tom's?
I am looking for specific products/brands, including the categories of: 1) Paper Products 2) Beverages 3) Dairy products 4) Boxed goods (pasta etc) 5) Frozen Goods 6) Limited Produce (items you can't live without) 7) Health/Beauty Brands and Products 8) Speciality Items - an example would be an idea I have of carrying some artisan cheeses from the Hudson Valley Region and other places I find along the way. Why? Because I can't seem to find a cheese shop in JC. I have to go to Hoboken for a cheese shop, but would prefer to get it here. Can you think of things you would like to have that you can't find? That is what my goal is. To stock what we love, but can't get when we want it, or it may be hard to find. Think mid-market prices. I am not looking to open a store not accessible to everyone. However, I am also not looking to stock a typical "bodega" concept. Not that I don't love a Bodega, but that's not what I'm going for. Thanks for your time (and feedback).

They aren't close to being done. I think they just started laying the deck this past week. The gym isn't close to being done either. They said itll be all done by Labor Day weekend though. So, who knows. Personally, I wish they would discount the months we don't have the gym in the building. It's part of the rent.

So true. Liberty Harbor needs more green space. Period. There's plenty of places they could put some more trees and plants. When I suggested this, I was told to go to Liberty State Park. Ha. Hopefully things will improve once the Regent is done (whenever that may be). We will see.

They are expanding the parking lot next to our building. Most likely for parking at the Beer Garden.

Is anyone else living in The Regent growing weary of the constant construction? I, for one, can't believe they are making a parking lot where they said they would be putting in a park. Unless I have the location wrong, that is. Anyone have any insight?

I am in the process of researching the concept of a small convenience store on Grand St., between Jersey Ave. and Grove St. My concept would be to stock the usual items a store like this would (paper goods, milk, eggs, newpapers, coffee, etc).
I would also try to work with local vendors to create a "grab and go" section in the store. This would feature local restaurants that would make sandwiches/wraps for purchase at my shop, which would help drive their business, as well as mine. I would ideally offer 15% of my stock as green/organic/locally grown products as well, depending on the price point, as I want to be as competitive as possible. Delivery and customer accounts would be an option as well. I also plan on working with various High Schools to create an internship/work study program, as part of my focus is community involvement. Feedback? Suggestions?

I would definitely go. Do you plan on using loose or bagged tea? I am a loose tea fan, haven't had bagged in months. Definitely open up closer to Grand St. or Grove St. There's a huge market share on Grand St. for something like this.

I am not in the Zenith, I am in the Regent. If I'm not happy here in the next year I can move. With the real estate market being what it is, you can't so I get your anger. And I was HOMELESS FOR 28 days. I lived out of a suitcase for a total of 6 weeks in my in-laws. You wanna talk about sacrifice? Move in with your in-laws in your mid-30's and get back to me.
I think that is nothing to laugh about, but thanks for making it seem so trivial. Quote:

But get ready for property management because as other people living in Liberty Harbor will tell you they lie constantly, ignore you, don't maintain security, don't take legitimate complaints seriously and think everyone is just a wining first time home owner as an excuse for their shoddy construction. Oh and keep calling and emailing them, they'll pass you off each time to someone different and then ignore you all together or tell you that the living conditions are fine because they had the same problems in Poland 30 years ago and to live with it. Whoa, whoa....I was supposed to move into the Regent on June 1....so them placing me in the Sutton on June 26 (which if you can add, was 26 days late on their promised delivery date) was the least they can do. It's not my fault you bought into a building you are obviously unhappy in. I have had no problems since moving in, and if I do have a maintenance issue, it is solved the next day. Maybe because I have manners and treat PM with respect. They are obviously overworked and stressed with the situation at the Regent.

Negotiate. Trust me, there's no way this building will be at capacity by the Fall. I'm on the 2nd floor and there's still at least one unit open on my floor.

Parking is $175.00 a month. The rent includes the gym and the pool access (whenever the pool is actually open). The units are large and well designed. Plus you can walk to the bier garten! :)

Linky, I agree. It takes a lot more than being a good homeowner to make a neighborhood like ours work. We have to be community-minded. The students that benefit from the efforts of the Boys and Girls Club are proof of this.
Community-based organizations like the Boys and Girls Club, the York St. Project, etc. are what can change a students' life around. They are the heart of an urban community.

Went, again, to the food cart last night after some drinking at the beer garden. I had the veggie tacos, and they were delish. My only suggestion would be that they use queso fresco instead of just cheddar. Other than that, I will be going back again soon!

I agree. Maintenance/PM has been very quick to address any and all issues. So far, so good. Minus the constant dust and construction, but it's becoming livable. I am looking forward to having a gym in our building!
