Hackensack Riverfront
Bayfront is an urban redevelopment project in Jersey City, New Jersey
The Hackensack Riverfront is an area on the eastern banks of the Hackensack River near its mouth at Newark Bay. It is on the West Side of the city, specifically west of NJ Route 440. It lies north of Droyer's Point and south of Lincoln Park. It is home to the Hudson Mall, Four Hundred Forty Shopping Center and the former Jersey City Public Works incinerator as well as the planned site. Kearny Point and the piers of the former Federal Shipbuilding and Drydock Company, now River Terminal, are on the opposite bank. The Hackensack RiverWalk is a partially complete greenway promenade intended to run from the Bayonne Bridge to the Hackensack Meadowlands in North Bergen, mostly at the water's edge.
Bayfront is a proposed mixed-use development to be situated on a 100-acre (0.40 km2) brownfield site and developed though a public-private partnership once environmental remediation of toxic waste is completed by Honeywell, which purchased a company that once operated facilities there. Though separated by the highway Bayport and the West Campus of New Jersey City University (NJCU) will transform large parts of the city from industrial and manufacturing zones to residential, educational, recreational and commercial uses. Development plans are required to incorporate public access to the river's edge along the bulkhead and will connect to the esplanade at Droyer's Point. While construction was expected to begin in 2016, chromium and other waste reclamation was still being completed as of 2017. The project won't be completely "built out" until 2043, however. Under the 2008 agreement, the city turned over 35 acres of municipal land to Honeywell, which agreed to cover the cost of the environmental cleanup. That land along Route 440 is home to the Jersey City Incinerator Authority (JCIA), the Department of Public Works (DPW), and the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority (JCIA).the land along Route 440 that is currently home to the Jersey City Incinerator Authority (JCIA), the Department of Public Works (DPW), and the Jersey City Municipal Utilities Authority (JCIA). JCIA and the DPW will relocate to a new location on Linden Avenue. Some JCMUA functions will also be relocated and downsized. Remediation work was completed in 2009 of several other formerly contaminated sites, including the sites of old Roosevelt Drive-in and the new NJCU West Campus.
