The full picture AI research · Nov 1, 2026
County records show plans for accessory buildings and related structures totaling about 199,660 square feet at Harbor Station South in Bayonne. The reported construction cost is about $13.1 million. The county lists the project as non-residential. It is not a set of new homes.
Harbor Station South is part of the former Military Ocean Terminal on the Bayonne waterfront. In 2016 the city council picked JMF Properties as developer for a 16-acre portion. At that time the idea was for-sale townhomes and retail. Later coverage says earlier plans for the site fell through and left a city budget gap. The records found do not show how the 2024 county filing relates to those older plans.
No recent coverage, hearing notice or tenant announcement was found for this filing. What the buildings will be used for is unknown.
What it could mean nearby
- Roughly 200,000 sq ft of new building space on the waterfront could bring construction activity and later some on-site activity, though the records do not say what the buildings will be used for.
- Older coverage mentions a planned retail street (Center Street) and talk of a ferry station nearby. Neither is confirmed for this filing.
Where it stands
The latest county filing is dated 2024-05-21. No city board approval or construction start was found online. Usual next steps are local planning board review and approval, then construction permits.
