A model of the Neumann Leathers project from the proposed Grand Street extension
Hoboken architect John Nastasi walked residents through the concept for the Neumann Leathers redevelopment project during a virtual community meeting last week.
The new vision for the roughly 3.29 acres of land, bounded by Observer Highway, Newark Street, and Willow Avenue, includes the rehabilitation of the iconic Neumann Leathers building along Observer Highway as well as the smokestack. The land will have a new public open-air courtyard, an interior courtyard, and 310 residential units.
The plan includes 70,000 square feet of rehabilitated industrial arts space, the creation of 76,200 square feet of new commercial and retail properties, 51 units of affordable and workforce housing, an extension of Grand Street to Observer Highway, above and below ground stormwater detention, a 32,500-square-foot outdoor public plaza, and a 9,500-square-foot indoor public plaza.
