Approved projects14 projects with 1,002 units. They come from Jersey City’s development tracker, which maps projects the Planning and Zoning Boards have approved. The status is the city’s own: a project stays approved until the city marks it under construction or completed, which can lag what’s happening on site. Permit issued means a building permit for its lot is in the city’s permit records.
