A new downtown destination - Hudson Reporter.com

Hoboken architect John Nastasi walked residents through the concept for the Neumann Leathers redevelopment project during a virtual community meeting last week.

The new vision for the roughly 3.29 acres of land, bounded by Observer Highway, Newark Street, and Willow Avenue, includes the rehabilitation of the iconic Neumann Leathers building along Observer Highway as well as the smokestack. The land will have a new public open-air courtyard, an interior courtyard, and 310 residential units.
