Reply to comment by [deleted] in Deal Reached to Sell Jersey City’s Harborside Complex for $420 Million by mooseLimbsCatLicks

Pre pandemic and pre renovation, I used to work across the street and get lunch there all the time. It was always lively with people from the office towers nearby. Post pandemic, we went WFH (as did a lot of others), and the place was never the same.

I went to a couple beer fests there pre-pandemic and the whole complex had a hollow, faceless feeling to it.

I used to work nearby before COVID too. It was only busy on weekdays until like 6:30pm or 7pm. It was a complete ghost town on weekends.

I know it’s technically a historic building, but I think they should’ve just demolished the whole building instead of renovating. The layout of this massive multi-block long building is inherently uninviting and I don’t think the renovation did enough to change that.
