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 - Dec 18, 2023: [New Journal Square Development Nabs $18 Million Refinancing](https://jerseydigs.com/39-high-street-jersey-city-financing/), Jersey Digs - Nov 10, 2023: [50-Unit Development at 179 Academy Street Breaks Ground in Jersey City](https://jerseydigs.com/179-academy-street-jersey-city-breaks-ground/), Jersey Digs - Sep 25, 2023: [New Development in Jersey City Sells for $17.7 Million](https://jerseydigs.com/211-baldwin-avenue-jersey-city-sold/), Jersey Digs ## Nearby neighborhoods - The Island, 0.3 mi east: 7 units in 3 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/journal-square/the-island.md - Journal Square, 0.5 mi north: 8,131 units in 48 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/journal-square/journal-square.md - Bergen Hill, 0.5 mi southwest: 942 units in 46 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/bergen-lafayette/bergen-hill.md - St. Joseph's, 0.6 mi northeast: 772 units in 7 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/journal-square/st-josephs.md - Lafayette Industrial, 0.7 mi south: 126 units in 6 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/bergen-lafayette/lafayette-industrial.md - The Village, 0.7 mi east: 140 units in 10 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/downtown/the-village.md - Marion, 0.7 mi northwest: 831 units in 38 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/west-side/marion.md - St. Peter's, 0.8 mi west: 111 units in 24 projects — https://umarelli.org/jersey-city/west-side/st-peters.md Source: Jersey City permit records since January 2020.
