JERSEY CITY, NJ—Eugene Paolino has been beating the drum for development in New Jersey's urban coast for more than three decades. He worked for the executive director of three different agencies, and saw close-up the early redevelopment in Port Jersey in the southern part of the city.

“I became convinced that Jersey City was on the brink of substantial development,” says Paolino in an exclusive interview with GlobeSt.com. “During all that time, I have been a real booster or promoter of Jersey City, because I saw it happening.”

Paolino, a partner with the Genova Burns law firm, was born in Jersey City, and has expertise in commercial law and real estate development, redevelopment law and tax abatement, zoning and land use law, commercial law, education law and corporate law. Paolino has played a critical role in some of Jersey City's most iconic and significant real estate projects along New Jersey's Hudson River “Gold Coast,” including 77 Hudson, 101 Hudson, The Beacon (the former Jersey City Medical Center), Saint Peter's MacMahon Student Center, McGinley Square Redevelopment, Journal Square 2060 Redevelopment Area, and Liberty Harbor Redevelopment Area.
