What Will Go At Windsor Wax Site In Hoboken? Meeting Wednesday
A development would include retail space and 60 residential units, 6 of them affordable housing, along Hoboken's southern border.
HOBOKEN, NJ — The city of Hoboken will hold a virtual community meeting regarding development of a property at 601-619 Newark St. on the city's northwestern border with Jersey City. Right now, some of the land holds the Windsor Wax company building in Hoboken (Hoboken Historical Society information here) and other lots.
The property suffered a fire in the 1930s, according to black and white photos, but continued operating for decades after.
The proposed redevelopment is located in the Southwest Rehabilitation Area, Subarea A, and includes a mixed-use building with nearly 5,000 square feet of ground-floor retail, an extensive green roof system, over 4,500 square feet of publicly-accessible outdoor plaza space along its rear alleyway, and 60 residential units including 6 affordable housing units.
