152 Stevens Avenue - 2023 Jersey City Landmarks Conservancy Preservation Awardee

“Under the redevelopment plan calling for housing and commercial space, the historic Greenville Heights Baptist Church will retain its profile and presence on the street without additions or intrusions. Stone veneers, crenellated parapets, roof monitors, slate tiles, overhanging eaves, clapboard sidings, and the prominent tower candle will be cleaned, stabilized, and restored following federal standards and regulations with guidance from Jersey City's division of city planning.” - John Gomez

78 Summit Given the Excellence in Preservation Award

“The Home of the Homeless, Masonic Lodge, and Jersey City Children’s Home. The Home of the homeless, started by a few upper-class ladies in 1883, and now situated at 266 Grove Street, sheltered hundreds of children and a few homeless women. The Children’s Friend Society was incorporated in 1864. They established the first Children’s Home on the southeast corner of Erie Street and Pavonia Avenue, but in 1874 built the present home in Glenwood Avenue, near West Side Avenune. Here destitute children were cared for, fed and clothed.”

HHA, Together with TRG, Building Jersey City

“Between the spectacular skyline views, multitude of transportation options, and prices at a fraction of their New York counterparts, it is no surprise that young people priced out of Manhattan and Brooklyn look to Jersey City as a friendlier alternative…Thankfully, building is keeping up with the increasing demand. Thousands of new housing units are in the works, and we take a look inside some of the newest.”

HHA Part of Top Developments In Journal Square

“The migration of the New York development rush over to Jersey City was no surprise. Located along the waterfront, Jersey City boasts impressive views of the skyline and easy access into Manhattan from the PATH train. But as new development arrived at a rapid pace, it has resulted in rising prices and a lack of developable land. That’s caused developers to look inland in search of other Jersey City neighborhoods ripe for new development. Journal Square, the area surrounding the Journal Square PATH station, has clearly emerged as the new frontier.”

HHA Transforming The Five Corners

“More residents could soon call the Five Corners section of Jersey City’s Journal Square neighborhood home should a newly proposed project move forward. A developer is planning to construct a mixed-use building at 614 and 616 Summit Avenue in Ward C, according to a legal notice. The proposal calls for the development to be eight stories tall and include 32 residential units. In addition, there would be commercial or retail space on the first floor of the building.”

Legendary Locals of Jersey City

“From the 1980s to today’s green architecture movement, Jersey City has been at the very vanguard, with world and local architects dreaming up towers for a left-bank corridor facing off with New York City…Independent architects and smaller firms are not to be ignored; their work and commissions, in fact, are what make Jersey City’s new or preserved architecture distinctive and exciting. Manny Naval and Debra David have taken historic preservation architecture to new heights.

These architects’ collective works are viewed with unwavering awe and celebrated in research, through preservation campaigns, and at their ground breakings and reveals. Architects are the greatest of civic philosophers, prescient planners of elevated skies, inventors of scaled cities, and poets who write verse in stone and steel. Jersey City is a city of architectural breakthroughs and monuments —- some ancient, others instant —- because of them.”
