JERSEY CITY | Bayfront Redevelopment (8000 units)

Jersey City Officials Reveal 8,000-Unit Housing Development On Hackensack River Waterfront



Quote:
A consortium of state agencies has confirmed commencement of the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan in Jersey City, purportedly the largest-ever mixed-income development in the Tri-State Area. The multi-phase project will eventually comprise 8,000 apartments with support from Jersey City Mayor Steven M. Fulop, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, and the city’s Departments of Housing, Economic Development, and Commerce.

Located on a former brownfield along the Hackensack River, the entire site spans approximately 100 acres and required years of environmental rehabilitation to reverse extensive soil contamination. The city acquired the 100-acre Bayfront property from Honeywell Corporation in 2018 for $100 million after reaching an agreement that forced the company to contribute to the rehabilitation effort.

Now prepared for construction, city agencies have partnered with Bayfront Development Partners, a joint venture between Pennrose and Omni America, and solo-entity BRP Development Group.

Phase one, known as Cove Pointe, is expected to break ground this fall and will only occupy 16 acres, divided into four distinct parcels. BRP Development Group will oversee construction of 552 apartments including 193 affordable units. Bayfront Development Partners will be responsible for the remaining 540 apartments with 193 designated as affordable units.

When complete, this phase will include 1,092 new homes.

“Today’s announcement represents a huge step forward. These initial proposals will create a model development designed for people all across Jersey City, with more than 400 units of affordable housing at a range of incomes, the vast majority of which is at 60 percent of the area median income or below,” said Reverend Laurie Wurm, Jersey City Together. “None of this would have been possible without the persistent organizing of faith leaders and residents for decades, who fought to clean up the site and then to ensure it would be an inclusive opportunity for the city as a whole. In the midst of several serious crises, we must and will continue to build for a better future in our city and region.”

The city expects to break ground on the infrastructure work for Bayfront in the fall.

Jersey City advances Tri-State’s largest mixed-income housing development


Quote:
Construction of the first phase of Bayfront, the largest mixed-income development site in the region, will begin in the fall and bring up to 8,000 residential units. The project includes 100 acres of remediated brownfields and is controlled by the city.

Phase one, which will be approved next week, consists of 16-acres of the total 100-acre property that the city acquired, and pursuant to the announced agreement, two selected developers will pay a total of $26 million to develop this first phase of Bayfront.

Jersey City acquired the 100-acre Bayfront property from Honeywell Corp. in 2016 for $100 million. At the time, the city stated that the acquisition would help to meet the goal of increasing onsite affordable housing requirements from 5 percent, which was previously stipulated in the redevelopment plan, to a new goal of 35 percent, with the city controlling the property.

At the next Jersey City Redevelopment Agency meeting, the city will formally designate two nationally recognized affordable housing developers: Bayfront Development Partners LLC – a joint venture of Pennrose LLC and Omni America LLC – and BRP Development Group, to implement phase one the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan, pursuant to their competitive request for proposal responses to the city.

BRP will build 552 units on its two lots, totaling 193 affordable units, and Pennrose/Omni is responsible for 540 units, 189 of which will be affordable housing. The units will truly be a mixed community of affordable units. Within the Pennrose/Omni development site, all of the units will be up to 60 percent average median income (AMI), while the BRP development site will be a blend of 28 units at 30 percent AMI, 28 units at 40 percent, 28 units at 50 percent, 28 units at 60 percent, 28 units at 80 percent and 53 units at 120 percent.

The Bayfront Redevelopment Plan will transform the once contaminated site along the Hackensack Riverfront into the centerpiece of the West Side revitalization. The plan is designed to maximize the economic benefits to Jersey City and its taxpayers while prioritizing affordable housing, localized hiring opportunities during and after construction, and sustainable green development.

Jersey City Set to Advance Bayfront’s First 1,000+ Unit Phase Later This Month



Quote:
One of the East Coast’s largest mixed-income projects will start to rise along the banks of the Hackensack River later this year, as three companies will be developing the opening portion of a revitalized vision that’s been a long time in the making.

A 95-acre property known as Bayfront is sandwiched between the Hudson Mall and Society Hill off Route 440 along Jersey City’s west side. A long industrial history caused chromium contamination at the land to linger for decades, liabilities that Honeywell inherited in 1999.

In 2008, officials and Honeywell agreed on a cleanup and officials then passed the Bayfront Redevelopment Plan. Jersey City then bonded for $170 million to purchase the entirety of the remediated property, designating $71 million toward the design and construction of roadways, sewer, and water lines needed for redevelopment.

The vision for the land is bold; as many as 8,000 residential units and 23 acres of open space could be created at the site. And now Mayor Steve Fulop, the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (JCRA), and the Department of Housing, Economic Development and Commerce have announced an agreement for construction of the first phase of Bayfront.

At the next JCRA meeting to be held on June 16th, the city will formally designate BRP Development Group and Bayfront Development Partners LLC as redevelopers for Bayfront parcels. Bayfront Development is a joint venture of Pennrose LLC and Omni America LLC and per an announced deal, the selected developers will pay a total of $26 million to develop the sites.


Bayfront’s first phase will see four parcels totaling 16 acres developed into mid-rise buildings including a total of 1,092 units. BRP Development’s portion will consist of 552 apartments on their two lots and include 193 affordable housing units, while Pennrose/Omni will be responsible for 540 units, 189 of which will be affordable housing. Several acres of parkland are shown in renderings that were released while announcing the first phase.


[...]


35% of Bayfront’s units will be designated as affordable and workforce housing as part of an effort to facilitate a truly mixed community. Within the Pennrose/Omni site, all of the units will be set aside for those who make up to 60% of the Average Median Income (AMI), while the BRP development site will be a blend of 28 units at 30% AMI, 28 units at 40%, 28 units at 50%, 28 units at 60%, 28 units at 80% and 53 units at 120%.

Very impressive.

Transit nitpick onservation:

A bit odd the planned light rail station deviates from the obvious straight r.o.w. that would align with the piers from the original rail river crossing to South Kearny and on to Newark which hopefully is at least being planned longer term.

It is planned. It may take a decade, but the plan is to bring the HBLR to Kearny, through the Ironbound onto Newark Penn Station.

Jersey City Redevelopment Agency, NJ -- Moody's assigns Aa3 long-term and MIG 1 short-term ratings to Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (NJ) city-guaranteed bonds and notes; outlook stable


Quote:
Rating Action: Moody's assigns Aa3 long-term and MIG 1 short-term ratings to Jersey City Redevelopment Agency (NJ) city-guaranteed bonds and notes; outlook stableGlobal Credit Research - 27 Dec 2021 New York, December 27, 2021 -- Moody's Investors Service has assigned a Aa3 to the Jersey City Redevelopment Agency's $57.0 million Revenue Bonds, Series 2022 (Bayfront Redevelopment Project) (City Guaranteed), a Aa3 to its $56.7 million Project Note, Series 2022 (Bayfront Redevelopment Project) (City Guaranteed), and a MIG 1 to its $10.1 million Project Note, Series 2022 (Bayfront Redevelopment Project) (City Guaranteed) (Federally Taxable). The bonds and notes are guaranteed by the city of Jersey City.

The city's underlying outlook is stable. RATINGS RATIONALE The Aa3 rating reflects the city's strong, stable finances, a healthy and growing tax base, moderate long-term liabilities and above-average fixed costs. Resident wealth and income are below-average; however, much of the new development is of a very high-end residential type, which should improve those metrics.

Jersey City Council passes 1st reading of subsidy deal with JCRA to cover $170M Bayfront bonding

Quote:
The Jersey City Council unanimously passed (8-0) the first reading of an ordinance authorizing the local redevelopment agency to issue nearly $170 million in bonds to help pay for the Bayfront project land.

The Bayfront is a massive redevelopment along the Hackensack River in Ward A that calls for 8,100 units of housing, a 340,000-square-foot office space, 450,000 square feet of retail, and 19 acres of parks.


The activist group Jersey City Together worked hard to push for the site to be cleaned of toxins and for affordable housing units to be built there.

The residential component also comes with 35 percent affordable housing and there will also be a K-8 school that would have the capacity to hold 400 students.

Jersey City is working to extend the Hudson-Bergen Light Rail to the Bayfront as part of the plan to redevelop the area. In addition, they are collaborating with NJ Transit to build a new train station there.

Wow, can't wait for Jersey City to crack 400,000. With all these developments, it won't take long.

Yeah, I was curious about that line too. NJT is now planning a station here? I know about the planned light rail station and extension, but the NJT station is a new idea.

I don't think this is on any current line, so they're talking about a new route?

Speaking of, what ever happened to that Nexis4NJ guy that used to always post NJT stuff? Haven't seen any posts in ages... They were always a bit asbergers and wonky but I enjoyed them.

There used to be a connecting railroad with a yard that branched off what is now the Hudson Bergen LR West Side line and ran south to the east of 440 to the Lehigh Valley RR. Not sure if that has anything to do with anything though.

I think he is still at skyscrapercity. The site looks like a Hong Kong Neon street with all the different colors, texts, confusion and epileptic inducing layout. They went in the wrong direction IMO with the platform. Its like inception, you have to click within a link within a link within a link to find a single super tall thread. I think I need to have a stroke to appreciate the layout of that site, because the brain damage would make me think it was okay.

Part of the extension and station idea is to cater to all the new residents. 8100 units could translate to a small city essentially. The roads are clogged as they are in the area, so more light rail ridership is key.

What will be interesting will be the impact on PATH. Now pre-pandemic, it was a sardine can, and is returning to that. 15-20k more people, potentially impacting PATH during rush hour will be interesting. Or even the Northeast Corridor (I call it the Mumbai express).

Along with all going on in JC and Bayonne.

This isn't the thread for it but there needs to be massive plans for north-south PATH expansion as well as the potential for a NY inner urban orbital subway line, *cough* TriboroRX is only half of the circle *cough* *cough*. Not to mention the Hudson Bergen should really be a H-B running PATH line, especially true of this West Side line, which should go all the way to Newark Penn.

Has ground been broken yet/ any activity on this first building?

They really need to get the wheels in motion on the HBLR extension. For this and West View.

Looking forward to this one.

I'm also going to be looking at HBLR ridership as this comes online. It should be a huge boost as a Transit Joint Development.
