Quote: Walking around, it is definitely coming along nicely. But, move ins by later this winter sounds like a HUGE stretch. It is an time construction zone! There's still heavy machinery out there, and from what you can see through the windows while standing on the street, they are just getting started with putting up walls, etc.

Are they going to make those windows bigger? They look like your old style jail cell windows you see in cartoons and movies.

copper is not cheap!

I wonder why the developers hired a 24/7 security guard for the premises? I guess they were having problems with theft?

I would like to see contact names on the ownership records instead of LLC & INC. It is high time we get some accountability around here.

There are three comments on that article and he made a vulgar but funny reference as to why he thought the article was boring.

I often wonder why the media mentions the location of where a developer comes from?

Could it suggest that the Governor or Mayor of Dallas owes a favor to a loyal developer of party funds and made a call to our guys for help or preferential treatment ?

Or could it be that Dallas developers build nice places as apposed NY developers build cheap ass crap.

I wonder if a Freedom of Information request might reveal if this developer has being providing campaign money to anyone in our State!

What comment? I didn't see one.

I love NJKing's comment on your article.

There's a Haz-Mat incident going on right now at 350 Warren St.

Awesome find! It says "This City Will Eat Me Alive"

Nice building.

Put >350 warren street jersey city nj< in Google maps look at the roof. What does that graffiti/writing spell?

This City Will ??. ?????

You are all WRONG. JC is FULL of families with multiple cars, there is NOT enough space for all those cars. Everyone here posting about half empty lots are obviously interlopers with hidden agendas. Of course, no parking and now streets being closed. The gall of progress! We are in for eternal gridlock, ambulances unable to drop people off at JCMC and no free off street parking.

And I believe it was approved with only .35 parking spaces per unit......

I thought this building was named a history building, or something like that, which limited what could be done with the structure. Personally, I like it, hopefully the ground floor will have some retail for the neighborhood.

This post has been up for 5 hours, and still no parking complaints from Yvonne. Shocking.

The energy efficiency of the building will depend more on what they chose for the heating / cooling plant. If they are going to use a central system (sending chilled and hot water throughout the building), you have a number of options to make the building more efficient.

Most of the new towers in Jersey City have lousy insulation, a lot of glass, and use PTAC units (air sourced heat pumps) for HVAC. I remember one cold winter, people in some of the towers in Newport were complaining to the Jersey Journal of $1,000a month utility bills.

I believe a good chunk of that area was under water during Sandy, but I'm not positive.

It looks like they are going to expand the windows, which is not surprising given how small they are are, but the rest of it looks pretty much the same (as far as I can tell from the MS Paint like rendering).

While it won't be as 'green' as a brand new building, overall it'll probably be more earth happy at 8 stories than perhaps a giant, more efficient building several times as tall. I like the idea. One question, though-how was the area around the site today flood wise??

Visually it's a good fit with the hood. It doesn't add much to the streetscape, but it doesn't detract from it. I think the architects have played it safe, and that isn't a bad thing.

i agree...better the conversion than a new boring glass/brick tower

To each his own I guess. IMO that is a very cool building, and I'd certainly rather have it than yet another similar looking residential tower. The best thing about projects like this and Dixon Mills is you don't have to live there if you don't want to. We have plenty of new development with a ton more coming on line adding one more to a sea of new construction is much less appealing to me than a conversion of an old space.

Just another UGLY industrial box conversion - Looks crap and will end up being a pigeon coop with many issues like Dixon Mills and the Beacon

Some will love it, but to me it lacks any architectural beauty - I say scrape it and build a purpose built residential complex that is eco-friendly, sustainable and have every modern feature available plus a design that has street appeal as well.

Dallas firm plans to build luxury apartments in Jersey City
By Tom De Poto/The Star-Ledger April 30, 2014 at 10:20 AM Dallas-based Mill Creek Residential Trust has partnered with Rockwood Capital to purchase an eight-story warehouse in Jersey City and plan to convert it into a luxury apartment building. It is Mill Creek?s second development in New Jersey, following construction last year of a rental project in downtown Morristown that is expected to be open in the fall. The Jersey City property, one block from the Grove Street PATH Station at 350 Warren Street, is expected to be transformed into 366 loft-style apartments. The building will feature a rooftop deck, fitness studio, clubroom with bar, conference rooms and 24-hour concierge. ?Mill Creek is actively and strategically identifying investment opportunities within the Northeast,? said Richard Murphy, managing director, ?and we are excited to continue to expand our presence in New Jersey with another luxury apartment community.? The rehabbed historic industrial building features 12-and-a-half foot ceilings, exposed brick, large windows and wood beams and columns. Mill Creek is acquiring a redevelopment asset unlike any of the conventional apartment projects in Jersey City.??? Dunne The building was formerly owned by 350 Warren LP. No price was disclosed for the sale or for the new construction. CBRE Group?s New York Institutional Group represented the seller. Jeffrey Dunne, of CBRE, said the building had ?garnered interest from national, regional and Manhattan developers for its unique ?loft building? characteristics. ? Mill Creek is acquiring a redevelopment asset unlike any of the conventional apartment projects in Jersey City.? Since 2003, more than 7,600 residential rental units have been added and absorbed to the Jersey City?s Central Business District. Mill Creek Residential Trust has 14 offices across the country. Earlier this month it named Russell Tepper a senior managing director of its Northeast region. Previously he was vice president of development for Cranbury-based Matrix Development Group. The four-year-old development company?s portfolio comprises 29 communities representing nearly 13,000 apartment homes that are operating, under construction or in planning. http://www.nj.com/business/index.ssf/ ... ments_in_jersey_city.html Modera Lofts 350 Warren Street Jersey City, NJ 07302 (855) 902-9826 http://www.millcreekplaces.com/commun ... apartments-in-jersey-city
