Welcome to north Newport!

Any current Hudson Tea residents out there? I would imagine that this new project is not very popular with HTB owners.
It looks like the 70% or so of the South facing units in the original HTB are going to be viewing a construction site for 2 years.
The current view is a sweeping shot of Hoboken, which will be totally obstructed.

500-600 more people for the cops that hide on 14th Street to ticket as they try to get to work!
Kings profit margins just went up 50%!

Guess this dispells some of the thoughts that Hoboken real estate is going to the crapper. Not that Toll Brothers hold the magic eight ball but for them to go forward with such a massive project they must have done research and feel they can still rent or sell these units. God they ruined uptown with these giant buildings.

Just as Tool Brothers got caught with their pants down in FL, they will overbuild here and repeat the “how could we have known” shrug when the sales volume dries up.
The Hoboken I moved into is long gone. I miss it already.

A couple of mistakes:
1 - They could sell these units at 300/sq foot and still make money. Remember that maxwell places was initially priced at 500/sq foot and they paid quite a bit for that property. This land came with Hudson Tea so their cost is a lot lower.
2 - Public builders can do 2 things. Build or quit. If they quit, everyone gets fired. Therefore, they build. If things get better, they make lots of money. If not, at least they kept their jobs for a couple more years. Thus, this construction should not be viewed as an endorsement of the market.
3 - This is not a big project for toll. The land doesn’t need much preparation, nor do utilities need to be built out. All they need to do is throw up the structure. Plus, they already have the staff and since most of the early construction is done on Maxwell, they can roll them over to this project.
4 - They have the zoning. Once you get it upzoned to include everything you want, you would be foolish to not start building. They also have the mayor on their side. No point in wasting that friend, especially since he is up for reelection next year.

They must be planning on renting these units not selling them.

Other than a little plaza across from the Soverign, it looks like they have about 99% lot coverage.

You would think they could have come up with something less generic. The buildings are boring.
10. hobojoe | May 16th, 2008 at 9:55 pm
Yeah, but as Dave Roberts would tell us, the fact that these buildings all appear to have green-dyed mohawks more than makes up for the 99% lot coverage.

Hoboken is for sale. Like the rest of the united states of america. Determine who is getting rich, and find the sellers. Mostly lawmakers, a.k.a. politicians.

I wouldn’t say that Toll ruined uptown. The Tea buildings have been there 100 years. They certainly look better now than they did 10 years ago. Maxwell Place was built on a junky factory site, so that wasn’t exactly resident-friendly open space. And the community certainly gets more out of Maxwell Place now (though not enough!) in the way of the waterfront park and “lawn” than while the factory was still there. So I see these things as an improvement.
I’m a little surprised they are going ahead with the project, though. Things aren’t looking that good in the market.
