A property along the border of Hoboken and Jersey City is being envisioned as the site of a new mixed-use complex with affordable housing, but zoning changes would be needed before any development takes place.<\/p>\n

During a recent community meeting, Hoboken officials unveiled a new proposal for 1 Henderson Street. Currently home to the headquarters of Fields Development, the property falls within Hoboken\u2019s Southwest Redevelopment Plan<\/a>, which was enacted in 2017.<\/p>\n

That zoning revamp required a hotel and lodging use at the property, and Fields advanced a previous hotel proposal<\/a> in 2021. But the plan never materialized, and it was revealed during the community meeting that finding an operator for the hotel proved to be difficult for the developers.<\/p>\n

Fields is instead looking to amend the zoning at the property for residential use to allow them to construct their new vision. Drawn up by MHS Architecture, the company envisions a mixed-use development consisting of 160 residential units at the site.<\/p>\n

A total of 16 units would be designated as affordable housing under the proposal, which also includes 64 parking spaces and a green roof designed to help capture stormwater runoff. The ground floor of the property will sport a retail storefront at the corner of Henderson and Observer Highway.<\/p>\n

The design of the property was tiered on the north side to line up with another proposal in the works at 511-521 Newark Street, which itself has had multiple proposals emerge<\/a> over the years. The eastern portion of the property would feature a significant curtain wall with large windows.<\/p>\n

A grand lobby would front the Observer Highway side of the property, which will be across the street from a historic firehouse. The northern exterior would feature a more traditional brick fa\u00e7ade.<\/p>\n

The development of the property would create a significantly wider sidewalk in an area that is probably one of the most congested traffic corridors in Hoboken. A dedicated bike line would also be created as part of the plan.<\/p>\n

The next step for the proposal would be a petition to the City Council for amendments to the redevelopment plan, and a timeline for when that could occur has not been announced.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The headquarters of Fields Development and a parking lot could be transformed into a mixed-use complex under a…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":349133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[130507,130508,10770,9,11,10],"class_list":["post-349132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-1-henderson-street","tag-fields-development-group","tag-mhs-architecture","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=349132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/349132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/349133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=349132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=349132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=349132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
