Two Lawsuits Filed to Block 168 Townhomes in Jersey City’s Port Liberté
By Chris Fry
The plan calls for 168 townhomes throughout four-story buildings, 336 resident parking spaces, outdoor amenity areas, and other site improvements. During hearings, lawyers for Port Liberté Condo Association argued against the project on several grounds, claiming that Pulte Homes lacked the necessary easements to build their proposed project and that a redevelopment plan for the area had expired.
The condo board also objected to the new development not contributing to a fund that maintains the nearby waterfront walkway connecting the neighborhood to Liberty State Park.
Many of those same objections were raised and expanded on in the pair of lawsuits, both filed in Hudson County Court on September 11. The Port Liberté Homeowners Association filed the first, and Port Liberté Condominium Association III Inc. filed the second.
The complaints seek to have the approvals thrown out on several grounds.
Port Liberté, situated south of the Liberty State Park and featuring several canal-like waterways, currently consists of about 800 townhomes and a recently completed 401-unit complex. Pulte’s final phase of the master-planned community would redevelop about 10 acres of vacant land along Caven Point Road.
