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 - Jan 15, 2026: [$150 Million in Financing Secured for Jersey City’s The Devan](https://jerseydigs.com/the-devan-jersey-city-financing/), Jersey Digs - Aug 18, 2025: [Construction Heats Up in Jersey City Heights](https://jerseydigs.com/construction-jersey-city-heights/), Jersey Digs - Oct 4, 2024: [Construction Begins on Jersey City Oakland Avenue Project](https://jerseydigs.com/158-oakland-ave-jersey-city/), Jersey Digs ## Nearby neighborhoods - Palisade, 0.2 mi southwest: 14 units in 6 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/palisade.md - Reservoir, 0.3 mi southwest: 79 units in 14 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/reservoir.md - Van Leer, 0.5 mi southeast: 1,411 units in 13 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/downtown/van-leer.md - Sparrow Hill, 0.6 mi northwest: 80 units in 22 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/sparrow-hill.md - St. Joseph's, 0.6 mi southwest: 772 units in 7 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/journal-square/st-josephs.md - Hudson City, 0.6 mi north: 434 units in 157 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/hudson-city.md - Washington Village, 0.6 mi northeast: 66 units in 7 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/heights/washington-village.md - Journal Square, 0.7 mi southwest: 8,131 units in 48 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/journal-square/journal-square.md Source: Jersey City permit records since January 2020.
