In one of the links earlier in this thread there is a detailed written description of the proposal for Metro Plaza. All the right things are indicated: will be designed to be pedestrian-friendly, incorporates the existing grid, parking structures hidden, plenty of open space - basically the exact opposite of Newport development.

I agree with you that the mall needs to either be demolished or completely reconfigured. Urban malls do exist, but Newport Mall is a suburban mall plopped down in the polar opposite of suburban. Unfortunately, it has become a fixture, and there are probably more people that want it to stay than adamantly want to see it go, like you and I.

I wish there was an easy way to keep all of those retailers, and just incorporate them into street-level retail ... like a CITY.

If you think about it, Broadway in Soho is a f'ing mall. 34th Street is a f'ing mall. It's just on an organic city street, versus a hideous cheesy mall structure. Urban walkable areas don't need malls. Malls were literally designed for areas that don't have a walkable downtown. That's why the concept of malls exists - for non-urban areas.

It would be nice if there was a good vision for the mall. Unfortunately I think it's here to stay :( I started a thread on this, entitled "the future of newport mall", a few years ago if you want to search for it on this forum.

nah the mall is great for the area but i agree it's ridiculous that there is no easy way to to get to other side. Lefrak just needs to build a walk way through it so people dont have to zip zap through the park lot to get to hamilton park, and HP residents can enter the mall from their side.

Unfortunately it's against their best interest, as lefrak wants to keep everyone renting in newport, by building the walk way they will lose renters to hp area.

i think this is one of those cases, fulop and the government can really put some pressure on that company. If you want another tax abatement? then build the walkway!

what they need to bulldoze is that skeleton dump called power house!

why are you always so negative about progress and development? If you want jersey city to remain a dump like it was 20 years ago, just move to irvington or newark, otherwise deal with it, the steamroller is not stopping for you.

It seems that all of the new high rise construction both downtown and in JSQ is "luxury rental". As discussed elsewhere on this board, developers are choosing (or are restricted through financing terms) to construct rentals rather than condos. We see this from the Maddox and York at Warren to URL and the Majestic II across from City Hall.

If that is and continues to be the case, we might expect the glut of supply to stabilize rental prices downtown, but I would expect the impact on condo prices to be negligible since the supply of units to purchase is remaining static.

In fact, if more renters move here and decide they want to buy, the influx of newcomers might even drive condo prices up as demand increases but available inventory remains unchanged. I might be wrong on that point, but in any event, I can't see the flood of new rental inventory being a depreciative factor on real estate prices in DTJC.


I think that's a great analysis. Another point is that more development projects, restaurants, grocery stores, etc. bring attention to the city and could make it a more desirable place to live. The resulting increases in demand may compensate for or even rise faster than the increase in supply.

I don't know many of the places you all are writing about but I do know that Jersey City really needs more restaurants. There are so few good ones!

This is accurate. In addition with all the new buildings it will bring in more retails making the area even more desirable.

My only hope is they do something with the power house soon, I hate staring at it out my window.

That is the precise point I was trying to get at - albeit clumsily. I'm asking whether the increase in daily capacity of 50,000 journeys is actually only an 25,000 increase in effective capacity given that for each NY-inbound AM journey and each NJ-outbound PM journey there will be a corresponding empty seat on the reverse commute.

Is the PA promising 50,000 additional trips of effective capacity, or simply additional service that COULD accommodate 50,000 daily journeys even though at least half of that increased service will not provide any benefit to PATH passengers on the most crowded trains at the busiest times of day?

Bingo!


True statements about pricing if you ignore what has happened in the past, what is happening now, and reports about what will happen in the future.

But besides it being based in reality, true statements!

Hey - Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum: Do either of you ever come up for air long enough to see what is actually going on? Or just stay down in your bunkers, issuing your anti-development, anti-downtown fatwas? I bought in 2007 - height of the market - and based on sales in my building the past six months and square footage extrapolations, I'm up ~ 30%, even after allowing for a sales commission. Give or take around the edges, but I'm up - substantially. Why? Because almost every single unit that has been built, is being built and is approved to be built but has yet to break ground, is a rental.

How is that going to hurt me? Besides - a good growth story, which DTJC currently is (won't last forever, but good visibility over the next several years), can override a simplistic, static supply and demand scenario.

Also, the PA's 50,000 number does not reflect the uneven distribution of ridership. Adding more frequency of service to virtually empty trains heading from WTC to HOB in the morning may "add capacity" but it is capacity where it is not needed and does nothing to reduce the congestion on the NYC-bound trains heading in from JC. How much of this 50,000 number will have a tangible benefit on the most crowded trains at the busiest times of the day?



How do you suppose they add capacity into NYC without also increasing the amount of empty trains out of NYC? Where do you expect those extra capacity trains to go once they reach NYC?

Would you prefer a used car or a new car for the same price ?


If that's your sole point, it's an enormous oversimplification of many factors that impact market price in a fast-developing city.

As for the PATH perhaps there would be consideration of having 2 JSQ 33rd street trains to 1 HOB 33rd street train. It's a quick and easy fix. Well "easy" as long as someone at the PA can see that a larger population in JC warrants that.


I heard all of the retail space will be for pizza places.

I think that complex is in desperate need of an update. I'm sure the retail will be better after this project is complete.

HOWEVER, the PATH is already ridiculously overcrowded at most hours of the day. As it stands, an extra 30,000 or people will be using it after the existing new construction is completed. It's doubtful there is enough capacity to handle those developments.

Now they want to add countless additional people into the area? I don't think this should be allowed unless the developers have a concrete plan as to how they will preserve the city's already strained infrastructure and some kind of arrangement is worked out to ease the PATH crowding.


More ferry service!

I heard ShopRite will be rebuilt in one of the new "structures" before it's torn down - Downtown will not be without its ShopRite - just missing the huge parking lot. Traffic in and out of parking garages will be a difficult - I imagine more people will opt to walk instead of a quick drive to the supermarket because of the hassle to park.

This redevelopment plan was approved by planning board two years ago. The developer is just revealing what they want to build after planning approved the density/heights and new streetscape.

PATH is run by the PA. There is better chance of Netanyahu making out Abbas on live TV than the PA coming out with a plan to expand the PATH or otherwise make it better in a way that doesn't provide a concrete benefit for them (like the airport expansion right to their facilities).

JC would be moronic to connect development to PATH improvement. The MTA nor no subway service in any gentrifying space anywhere in the world makes such a connection.

I think it's illegal under federal law. The LIRR isn't federally regulated because it doesn't cross state lines.


Pre-911 the last car that pulled into the Exchange Place Station doors didn't open up.

I think that's correct. It would also explain why the MTA is allowed to have a limited number of subway cars that can access the South Ferry station (I mean the old/reused station, not the one that was destroyed by Sandy).

Things the PATH can do:

Signals (under way)
Station extensions (under way?)
Articulated trains

If all three of those get done that is one heck of a lot more capacity. Even if just two get done it is still a lot more capacity... Which we are going to need when Amtrak takes their tunnel out of service for repairs.
