JERSEY CITY-Construction has started for Aquablu, the Lefrak Organization Inc.’s latest residential tower within the Newport planned community on this city’s Hudson River waterfront. Aquablu is part of the four-tower residential and hotel expansion at Newport rolled out by the New York City-based Lefrak Organization just more than two years ago.

This portion of that larger expansion, the Aquablu building, will add 360 luxury rental apartments, ranging from studios to three-bedroom units in a 33-story tower with some ground-floor retail. Located at 110 River Dr. here, the tower is expected to be completed in about a year. The cost hasn’t been released.

Design work for the 470,500-sf building was a collaboration between Poskanzer Skott Architects of Ridgewood, NJ and the Toronto-based Page + Steele Architects. Design features will include colored floor-to-ceiling windows and garden terraces.
