Construction is underway at 1300 Jefferson Street in Hoboken, where a 357-unit residential tower is rising on a site that sat as a parking lot for years along the city's western edge.
The project, reported by Jersey Digs, places another large rental building in the Jefferson Street corridor, an area Hoboken has steadily rezoned for mid-rise residential density as the city runs out of vacant land anywhere else.
Jersey Digs did not report a general contractor, a developer financing partner, or a completion date in its account of the groundbreaking — the story confirms vertical construction has started, not the building team behind it.
For a 357-unit building, that's a job that will run multiple years and pull in structural, mechanical, electrical, and finish trades at a scale Hudson County subcontractors should already be tracking. If you work Hudson County residential high-rise, this is a site to call about now, before the GC's sub-bid list closes.
Hoboken's western edge has absorbed a string of these towers over the past five years, each one eating into the same shrinking supply of buildable lots between the PATH tracks and the Palisades cliff face. 1300 Jefferson adds to that count — not the first, and with the city's land running thinner every year, not likely the last.
None of the financing or contractor information in this item is confirmed beyond what Jersey Digs reported; readers chasing sub work should confirm the GC directly with the site before assuming a bid window is open.
