Reminder: In person community meeting for 511-521 Newark St. is April 13
 
The City of Hoboken invites residents to a community meeting on April 13, at 6 p.m. at Connors Elementary School, 201 Monroe St., to discuss the proposed redevelopment project at 511-521 Newark St. The project team will discuss the proposed 9-story mixed-use property, which 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, two-way bike lane, which will ultimately serve as a segment of the Green Circuit, a multi-modal pathway envisioned to encircle the entirety of Hoboken. The proposed segment along 511-521 Newark Street is part of a larger plan to create a protected bike lane that connects the existing protected Observer Highway bike lane and the NJ Transit bikeway between Newark Street and the Second Street Light Rail.   

The last community meeting on the project was held virtually in June 2025 and there have been no project changes. To watch the last meeting, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jxc7Opot-4I.
