Secure parking is a plus, because I wouldn't want to be driving around at night looking for a parking spot. If the Cordage Building ever gets finished that would make that location much more appealing. But cross Communipaw from there and you're on Ocean Avenue in about a block. It would be a little too urban homesteading for me at this point in time.

I also noticed the neighborhood has had a name change from Bergen Lafayette to Berry Lane. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!

Don't know anything about the building, but as far as I know, the neighborhood's still Bergen Lafayette. Berry Lane is the name of the (now on hiatus) park that's being built there right off of, you guessed it, Berry Lane.

There are signs throughout the area that says "welcome to the Berry Lane neighborhood"

Must be rebranding in action.

The city allowed them to use those horrible bricks on their extension because they don't care either.

I think you are confusing the Whitlock project on Lafayette St, which is not the greatest looking renovation, with the old National Carpet building on Grand St. The carpet building use to look like a white elephant and now is one of the most beautiful restorations I?ve seen in JC. Check the link in the first post to see a picture.

I think this is that beautiful old building near Tsigonia Paint. The developer, and the city, allowed this old building to be destroyed and turned into an eye sore. The building was built in the 1860's, with beautiful old red brick, and they added an extension onto the building and used disgusting "grey" bricks. It makes the builidng look like some modern day public works project. If the builder would "choose" to that to the outside of his builidng I can't imagine what he has done to the inside. But in the end, it come s down to the city. Developers have proven time and time again that they don't care about this city, they just want to make as much money as they can. The city allowed them to use those orrible bricks on their extension because they don't care either. As citizens, I guess we should count ourselves lucky that they didn't use the pink bricks that have shown up here in recent years.
