NJ TRANSIT HUB PERSPECTIVE | MID-YEAR 2019
Mixed-use/Residential Developments:
With a 9.4 percent population increase since the 2010 U.S. Census, the highest of any New Jersey municipality, Jersey City is closing
in on Newark as the largest city in the state. In an attempt to keep up with this growing population’s housing needs, construction
cranes are filling the skyline.
Among the notable projects recently completed, under construction, or on the drawing boards:
RIVET 2-26 University Blvd
