Six Vie for Redevelopment Rights

BAYONNE, NJ-The focus of the competition is 71 acres in three sites along this city's waterfront.

BAYONNE, NJ-Local officials have narrowed the list of possible redevelopers down to six, and the focus of the competition are three waterfront sites in this Hudson County city. While officials decline to detail the specifics of the various proposals, mixed-uses are expected to emerge, and as many as three of the six could get the nod for portions of the tract.

The six finalists were culled from a process that began in July with the issuance of an RFP by the Bayonne Local Redevelopment Authority. More than 2,000 companies were contacted, according to Joseph Nichols, BLRA’s director, and more than 70 groups took what he terms “an active interest” in the RFP. “That’s very encouraging,” he says, “especially given the state of the economy.”

The RFP solicited bids for what are called the Loft, Landing and Bayonne Point tracts within Peninsula at Bayonne Harbor, a former industrial area. Altogether, they account for 71 acres within the 430-acre Peninsula redevelopment area–portions of which have already been built out in recent years.
