11-Story Building May Be Coming To Newark/Willow In Hoboken

HOBOKEN, NJ — UPDATE: The below meeting has been rescheduled to Thursday, Dec. 19 at 6:30 p.m. at the Multi-Service Center, 124 Grand Street. Our original article follows.

A community meeting in Hoboken will discuss proposed amendments to the Public Works Garage Site Redevelopment Plan on Monday, Dec. 9.

According to a city news release, the public meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m. at the multi-service center on 124 Grand Street.

The site – currently a surface parking lot – is located at the intersection of Newark Street and Willow Avenue. The sub-area does not include the Hoboken Public Works Garage facility.

See the full Public Works Garage Site Redevelopment Plan.

City officials gave the following background about the plan:

“The Public Works Garage Site Redevelopment Plan was adopted in 2006 and subsequently amended in 2008. The existing parking lot is owned by 83 Willow Ave Apartments, LLC. The redevelopment plan calls for R-1 overlay zoning for the subject site, Lots 11-14. If the amendment is adopted by the City Council, the revised zoning would allow 83 Willow Avenue Apartments, LLC to build an 11-story, 42-unit residential building with ground floor retail and 72 parking spaces. Site plans will be presented to the public at the community meeting.”

Officials added:

“The City Council, the redevelopment entity of the City of Hoboken, may consider both the amended redevelopment plan and a redevelopment agreement at a future City Council meeting. If the redevelopment plan is adopted on first reading at a future meeting by the City Council, it will be reviewed for Master Plan consistency by the Planning Board, and then heard for a vote on second reading by the Council.”
