Community meeting on 511-521 Newark St. announced 

The City of Hoboken invites residents to a virtual community meeting on Tuesday, June 17, at 6 p.m. on the proposed redevelopment project at 511-521 Newark St. The project team will discuss the proposed 9-story mixed-use property. The proposed project includes 54 residential units, five of which would be affordable housing, as well as ground floor retail space, 54 indoor bicycle parking spaces for building residents, and a green roof.  

The building is proposed to be set back from the property line to provide a dedicated loading/drop-off zone along Newark Street, as well as a sidewalk-level continuation of the City’s future Green Circuit, a two-way, multi-modal pathway envisioned to encircle the entirety of Hoboken. It will provide a connection along Newark Street between the protected Observer Highway bike lane and the NJ Transit bikeway between Newark and the Second Street Light Rail.
