At this point, new construction in DTJC is not even the biggest issue/concern: as more and more construction is slated to happen in the JSQ area, the PATH trains will arrive in Grove St already super crowded. A few years ago, getting on at Grove was fairly easy but the people at Newport would have to scramble to try and get on. Now, trains arriving at Grove are often fairly crowded. As all those new buildings in JSQ fill up, I imagine that the situation at Grove will be no different than Newport today.

I know people that ride up to JSQ and then remain in the train before it turns around to head back towards 33rd. It is about the only way you are sure to get a seat, or be able to board a particular train car, during the morning rush. It adds ~15 minutes to your commute but, if you have the time, it can make for a much better commute.

Wow... 750 units... more PATH overcrowding!

another tower.. let's make jersey city great again!

Excavation Begins For 25 Columbus Drive In Jersey City

BY: MICHAEL YOUNG 7:30 AM ON JUNE 2, 2019

The first stages of excavation at 25 Columbus Drive are apparent as the asphalt from the former parking lot is now being ripped up. This will become the future site of a new mixed-use complex that will rise 626 feet tall and 57 floors high. Handel Architects is designing the proposed structure, while L+M Development Partners is the developer of the downtown Jersey City project. A total of 750 rental apartments, a 35,000-square-foot privately-funded public school for levels pre-K through first grade, four storefronts covering 16,485 square feet of retail space, and a public plaza will soon be built.
