Property Description
Prime Lafayette development opportunity. Seller financing available. This property is a complete gut renovation and currently configured as a two-family, offering a rare opportunity for developers or investors to create value in one of Jersey City's fastest-growing neighborhoods. The home is detached on one side and allows for converting into a one or two-family with two duplexes without a variance. Similar properties in the neighborhood have also been approved for four-family use, and there is the added option to build a 30-foot rear extension without a variance-maximizing space and potential. With the possibility to convert into two condominiums, the site presents a strong development opportunity in the desirable Lafayette neighborhood. Ideally located near the Light Rail, Liberty State Park, Liberty Science Center, and with easy transportation access to NYC, this property is surrounded by some of Jersey City's favorite dining spots including Harry's Daughter, Roxy, Mordi's, Pinwheel, and Grind Coffee Shop. Bring your contractor and vision-this project offers significant upside in a thriving market.
