83 units in a wood frame building... yeah, nothing wrong or worrisome about that. I wouldn't want to live there even if the Edgewater Avalon tragedy had not happened recently. How can ANYONE think it is safe, or prudent, to live in close quarters and proximity of SO MANY people in a wood frame building? This is a recipe for disaster.

They need to stop making buildings of this size wood framed. hopefully we dont have another fire on the scale of the Edgewater fire earlier this year before they finally change the code.

Hopefully someone will re-open the shuttered Kolonia luncheonette a block away!

By the way, same company that did The Montauk downtown (and which received an JCLC preservation award).

For the first time in a long time, development is happening in Bergen-Lafayette. Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop hosted a groundbreaking ceremony today with local developer John Fiorito and Ward F Councilwoman Diane Coleman, Councilwoman at Large Joyce Watterman, and community advocate June Jones at 234 Suydam Ave. -- the site of what will soon be a brand new 83 unit residential apartment complex. "This is the largest project that we have seen in Ward F in a number of years and it really speaks to what we are trying to achieve here," said Fulop. "We want to encourage development away from the water front so we are very proud to have the partners that we do and we want to make sure this is a great place to live, to work, and to raise a family." The apartment complex, which will be named Baker Building after the Baker Coating Factory that used to stand in its place, will be a 100,000-square foot wood frame building at the end of Suydam Avenue -- a dead end street, less than four blocks away from the Liberty State Park Light Rail station -- according to Fiorito.
