Plans made for Hoboken’s ‘final frontier’
Council adopts North End Redevelopment Plan ×
Plans envision the existing industrial area as a mixed-use residential neighborhood with ground-floor commercial space, bike lanes, a linear park, and a new light rail station.
Potholed roads and industrial blocks with warehouses and parking lots in Hoboken’s northwestern corner are set to be the new home of a mixed-use residential neighborhood, now that the City Council has adopted the North End Redevelopment Plan.
The plan re-imagines 30 acres of Hoboken’s primarily industrial northwest and sets the permitted uses and development standards for the North End Rehabilitation Area roughly bounded by the 14th Street Viaduct to the south, Park Avenue to the east, 17th Street to the north, and the Palisades Cliffs to the west. The Hudson Bergen Light Rail line runs along the western and northern edges.
Op-Ed: Without a well-defined plan, developers will be in the driverâs seat at Hobokenâs North End
In an editorial, Fund for a Better Waterfront Executive Director Ron Hine expresses why the Hoboken City Council needs to reject the current version of the North End Redevelopment Plan next week.

On Wednesday, March 3rd, the Hoboken City Council, which also serves as the cityâs redevelopment authority, will cast one of its most fateful votes.
It will determine the future of 30 acres north of 14th Street, the North End, which represents the final large undeveloped tract of land in town.

The Hoboken waterfront. (Caren Lissner/Patch)
HOBOKEN, NJ Hoboken Mayor Ravi Bhalla said Tuesday that the city and Ironstate Development have agreed on a newly proposed settlement agreement that prevents two 11-story high-rise buildings from being built on Hoboken s waterfront and gives the city 1.4 acres of land for open space. In exchange, Ironstate would get to build an 11-story residential building at the site of the Municipal Garage near the city s southern border.
The proposed agreement will be presented to the City Council for consideration and a possible vote on Wednesday, Feb. 3. (Residents can get details of the agreement and speak at the virtual meeting using the links later in the story.)
