@JCFromCA You won't be disappointed with your move. Jersey City is a great city. JC is very diverse, friendly, good restaurants, bars etc. The proximity to NYC is perfect for commuting to and from work. My wife Erin and I lived in Santa Monica and moved to NYC for work. Fyi...She is a REMAX agent (serving downtown) and can assist you with your condo and area search. We know JC extremely well -moved here 10 years ago. No pressure either way -just wanted to welcome you here and help out if we could.

Again...no solution, no ideas. Im curious as to what "type" of person you are? You're not a "hipster", "yuppie", you don't want change...SO do you have any suggestions that would be GOOD for JC going forward? Or you perfectly fine with the way the city is and if it stays the way it is you're cool with that....no more condos, no more grocery stores, no more bars, no more shopping -leave it the way it is...???

Also, I do respect your opinion even if we don't agree.

You are always complaining...lol...its like you are miserable! Try this...why don't you tell US how YOU would move this city into the next 5 years? You seem to knock everyone else's ideas -so let's hear yours!

Alanwright...VERY WELL PUT!!! Some people are so negative on this site. They are "scared of GOOD change" for this city. I can't understand it, but I am glad to know there are other "regular people" like me who are excited to see JC develop into a greener safer more diverse city. DIVERSITY and OPTIONS are important in any community -at least to me.

Great post...

Hi All

What type of businesses would you guys like to see downtown jersey city??

A-Ultra Lounge and Tappas w cool atmosphere, mix of music great drinks and dj. (Not club)

B-Hookah lounge (not sure if the city will allow this) Anyone with information please advise.

C-Very cool sports bar with oversized comfortable seating

D-More fashion boutiques for men? Women? Children? Or all in one store? What designers? Be specific -more basics or upscale (mention brands)?

E-What area would be best to start developing the "soho" like shopping district in JC? Is it Grove? Grand? The PAD?

F-Pizza Bar/Lounge serve great pizzas, but very cool place to relax and lounge and have good drinks

G-Wine Only Bar/Lounge

Any other suggestions would be great!!! Its time to bring some great spots to the city!

This is the site being cleaned up

Clean up is almost complete!

This is great information...Good to see JC starting up construction. With these two towers, journal square, and the development on the westside of JC ( see bayfrontjerseycity.com ) Im even more excited to live and invest in JC's future.

***Anyone know the web address for this development or the developer???? Any info would be appreciated!

The Monaco Towers, a pair of two residential high rises long since delayed have broken ground on a Washington Blvd site. The project's location is in the former parking lot of the Doubletree Hotel.

The Monaco Towers was first approved as a condominium tower, but later switched to a rental building. Earlier this year the developer went before the city requesting a more lucrative tax abatement program claiming that the credit crisis would hurt the project's bottom line. The city reluctantly agreed but mandated the project start this year to keep the special abatement.

A third tower, the San Remo, was originally proposed for the south side of the Doubletree Hotel. Currently this third tower is likely on hold and not included in the more lucrative abatement program.

Thanks to all of you for the information! I will check it out!

Does anyone know what's going on in the empty lot at the intersection of Route 440 and Communipaw on the westside of JC?? For those of you familiar this is the piece of land that always featured the rugs for sale. There is a lot of work being done within the fenced in land. Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance
