“Hudson Place Plaza is going to make a real difference in how people experience this part of Hoboken,” Hoboken Mayor Emily Jabbour said in a statement.
“It’s a welcoming space for commuters coming through the terminal, residents going about their day, and visitors discovering our city for the first time. I’m grateful to the State, NJ TRANSIT, and LCOR for their partnership as we work together to turn this area into something that feels more open, more connected, and more inviting for everyone who uses it.”
Momentum continues across Hoboken Connect, with major advancements in residential development alongside significant public infrastructure improvements, including upgrades to the Hoboken Bus Terminal, Ferry Terminal Building, and surrounding Warrington Plaza.
Together, these investments represent an approximately $450 million current investment in Hoboken’s waterfront, including $176 million in state funding from the New Jersey Debt Defeasance Fund authorized by Gov. Phil Murphy (D) and the New Jersey Legislature.
“Hudson Place demonstrates how thoughtful investment in public infrastructure can strengthen both connectivity and quality of life within a community,” added Senior Vice President Brian Barry.
“By creating a seamless connection between Hoboken Terminal, the waterfront, and the broader city, we’re improving how thousands of residents, commuters, and visitors experience and move through Hoboken every day. It’s an important step toward realizing a more accessible, vibrant, and resilient neighborhood.”
Earlier this year, NJ Transit celebrated the completion of the new Hoboken Bus Terminal, enhancing one of the region’s busiest multimodal transportation centers.
Construction is also advancing on Charlie, a 27-story mixed-use residential tower that will deliver 386 rental residences including 20 percent affordable housing, along with ground-floor retail and extensive resident amenities.
Upon its anticipated completion in 2027, Charlie will become New Jersey’s largest 100 percent electric residential development. LCOR recently selected SERHANT. New Development as the building’s exclusive leasing and marketing partner.
“Our collective investment in Hudson Place and the broader Hoboken Connect project represents the very kind of public-private partnership envisioned when we released our LAND Plan last year,” noted NJ TRANSIT President & CEO Kris Kolluri.
“From the new housing opportunities proximate to transportation choices to the rehabilitation and activation of public infrastructure assets that impact our customers every day, we’re excited to celebrate this important milestone, and look forward to working with our project partners to realize continued progress in the months ahead.”
Plans are also moving forward for the restoration of the historic Ferry Terminal Building’s second floor, which will be transformed into a premier events venue featuring publicly accessible commercial and exhibition space while preserving a significant piece of Hoboken’s transportation heritage.
Back in July, NJ Transit and LCOR broke ground on the latest upgrades for the Hoboken Connect project, as HCV first reported.
