Nothing is listed but official completion date is Winter 23 and I believe it. It’s topping out and windows are done for almost 1/3 of the floors. I think it’ll be ready by June.

There's a person asked it last month: https://www.reddit.com/r/jerseycity/comments/zggojs/insights_on_buildings_near_lsp_121_garabrant_295j/

Neighbourhood is fine. It's strictly residential because there's no store or anything in the immediate area, yet. You will be safe walking around late night from the light rail. I would just not venture North past Monitor street.

The light rail won't be your problem, the freight train will be as you are right by the freight track. The train comes multiple time a day and you will hear it rumbles. There're multiple new developments--262 Johnston tower completing in the summer and Foundry Loft - Phase 3 (just started putting in foundation) that will add more upscale housing to the neighborhood. It's only going to improve. The best part about this area is easy access to Liberty State Park and 10 miles of breathtaking river run loop stretching all the way towards Port Liberte.

The municipal parking lot is very well lit (too well, it's bright as day) and is patrolled 24/7.

You should look at 295J and the Ashton nearby as well, very well managed buildings. Foundry Lofts are condos but they might have owners renting out.

You cannot block somebody’s private property’s driveway access. It’s the law. Why don’t you educate yourself and instead of being passive aggressive and come on here typing essays arguing. It is standard in this country to tow anybody who block access to your driveway. You can tow at owner’s expense. “But but but”. Do something or quit crying.

Haus25 is overpriced and isn’t any better than other upscale housing in the area. It’s because they have 5% of units as affordable unit so they make market rates eat the difference.

They want to charge prime Manhattan price that’s a laugh.

I would not pay broker's fee in JC. Sometimes you have to do it in NYC for desirable locations + rent stabilization (which is the hardest selling point). Unless you are dead set on a place for a few years, even 1 month broker's fee is non-trivial on a single lease.

1.5 months refundable deposit is not the norm, most place requires $1000.

1st month rent + $1000 deposit is the standard that I would stick to.
