Is All This Development Really Coming to Hoboken???
Categories: For Buyers, For Sellers, Hoboken Condos, Hoboken New Construction
Some of my readers asked me to post about the Willow14 project going up on the corner of Willow and 14th Street. I was looking online last night at their promo materials and learned a few interesting tidbits and a huge shocker. Look at this:
Do you see those huge towers on the western side of Hoboken? What is this exactly? And what do all those yellow numbers mean?
I blew it up and this is what I see:
- 900 Monroe – 114 units
- Lot 93 & 97 – 443 units
- Lot 103 – 80 units
- Lots 108 & 111 – 444 units
- Lot 112 – 204 units
- Lot 104 – 55 units
- Lot 114B – 44 units
- Lot 150 – 150 units
There are a few others with actual addresses but those buildings seem to already have been built. If this is what has been approved for future development, that is about 1400 new units. Many seem to be 12 stories. Nothing indicates whether they will be rental or condos. Does Hoboken really need over a thousand new units of housing? What will that do to traffic? To flooding? What will it do to the value of currently existing properties?
I have a call into the project manager to try to find out where this came from and what it means. But it was certainly a shocker to me – and a bit disturbing, I might add! You can click on the link above the photo to see the entire PDF.

Did you know that the agent hosting an open house is the Seller’s agent? Whether it is the actual listing agent or any other agent from the same company, that person legally represents the sellers. Not only that, the hosting agent – by law – has a fiduciary duty to the seller to get that seller the highest possible price for that property. Do you think it might be a conflict of interest for that same person to then represent you? Many people think so. In fact, in many states *other than NJ) it is illegal for the same agent to represent the seller and also work with the buyer.
Did you know that when you go to an open house you can see the property at the open house on your own and, if you like it, go back to it with your own agent? You can! So if you see something you like at an open house you might want to consider finding your own agent who does not work for the seller. Just because you walk into an open house does not mean that the hosting (seller’s) agent gets to “claim” you as his or her customer – even if you “sign in”. You are the consumer. You are spending your hard earned money on what is probably the biggest investment you will make in your life. Don’t you think you should be able to work with whom you choose?

Hey HREN readers! It’s good to see you all again. How was your New Year’s? Ours was great – topped off with nearly 11 hours of freezing our kishkees off at the Meadowlands. Well worth it, I might add! The Jets playoff game starts at 4:15 on Saturday, so you have plenty of time to get out there and see all the Saturday Open Houses and still get home in time for kick-off. Happy house hunting, happy New Year and
J! – E! – T! – S! JETS! JETS! JETS!
