The southern entryway to the Mile Square City is undergoing a significant transformation<\/a> and yet another development proposal with larger condos and retail space is slated to be heard by Hoboken\u2019s Zoning Board.<\/p>\n A new plan has emerged for a large parcel of land at 425 Newark Street. Currently home to a gas station, the property sits next to the Hoboken Car Wash near the city\u2019s southern border with Jersey City.<\/p>\n The property owners, Hoboken Service Center Incorporated, have filed an application for redevelopment. They\u2019ve worked with Hoboken-based Nastasi Architects to develop a plan to demolish everything on site and build a 12-story mixed-use building with a glass-heavy design.<\/p>\n The ground-floor retail space would span 450 square feet, plus a commercial patio at the corner of Newark Street and Observer Highway, proposed as a Class III restaurant. The remainder of the first and second floors would feature 12 semi-automated parking spaces.<\/p>\n Most of the remainder of the building would consist of nine residential units, all featuring four bedrooms. The trend\u00a0toward larger residences in a condominium building follows a six-story\u00a0development<\/a> on First Street that gained approval earlier this year and consists exclusively of four- and five-bedroom units.<\/p>\n Perks for future residents include a second-floor amenity level with a lower roof deck in the front yard. The development\u2019s 12th floor would feature an indoor amenity space and a common exterior roof deck with barbecue stations, gas grills, and more, along with green-roof trays.<\/p>\n The development would additionally feature a green roof. Residential access would be off Observer Highway, with parking garage entry via Observer Highway and egress onto Newark Street.<\/p>\n The development would require many variances to move forward. They include a deviation for a residential building not permitted in an Industrial-2 Zone; a taller building height (40 feet permitted while 132 feet is proposed); FAR greater than permitted; a density of nine units where 6.1 units are allowed; and a smaller lot than required.<\/p>\n Other deviations include 98% lot coverage where 60% is permitted, front, side, and rear yard setbacks less than required, aggregate coverage of rooftop appurtenance greater than permitted (10% permitted; 23.5 proposed), and providing less than 75% of masonry on the exterior.<\/p>\n Hoboken\u2019s Zoning Board has historically been fairly strict, rejecting plans for a food hall<\/a>, an Adams Street development<\/a>, and a prominent Washington Street project<\/a> in recent memory. They are slated to weigh in on the 425 Newark Street plan at their October 20 meeting, which begins at 7:00 pm and will be held inside City Hall at 94 Washington Street.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A gas station at 425 Newark Street is envisioned to be the site of a new mixed-use development…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":378020,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[138891,98,100,99,138892,9,24,63],"class_list":["post-378019","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-brooklyn","tag-425-newark-street","tag-brooklyn","tag-brooklyn-headlines","tag-brooklyn-news","tag-nastasi-architects","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378019","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=378019"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/378019\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/378020"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=378019"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=378019"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=378019"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"425](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/425-newark-street-hoboken-1024x705.png\")
