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. ## In the news - Oct 23, 2026: [From Endangered to Reborn: The Lucy Tops Out in Jersey City](https://jerseydigs.com/the-lucy-jersey-city-tops-out/), Jersey Digs - Jul 1, 2025: [670-Unit Project Breaks Ground at 290 Coles Street in Jersey City, New Jersey](https://newyorkyimby.com/2025/07/670-unit-project-breaks-ground-at-290-coles-street-in-jersey-city-new-jersey.html), New York YIMBY - Oct 18, 2021: [Final Approvals Sought for Two 10-Story Buildings in Jersey City](https://jerseydigs.com/final-approvals-10-story-buildings-jersey-city/), Jersey Digs ## Nearby neighborhoods - Palisade, 0.4 mi northwest: 14 units in 6 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/palisade.md - Hamilton Park, 0.4 mi south: 112 units in 8 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/downtown/hamilton-park.md - Waverly, 0.5 mi northwest: 462 units in 51 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/waverly.md - St. Joseph's, 0.6 mi west: 772 units in 7 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/journal-square/st-josephs.md - Reservoir, 0.7 mi northwest: 79 units in 14 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/reservoir.md - The Village, 0.7 mi southwest: 140 units in 10 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/downtown/the-village.md - Harsimus Cove, 0.7 mi south: 1,024 units in 11 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/downtown/harsimus-cove.md - Newport, 0.7 mi southeast: 914 units in 17 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/downtown/newport.md Source: Jersey City permit records since January 2020.
