We are definitely neighbors 👋🏻

I’ve been in Modera since it opened in 2016. Since then I’ve seen the Lively, 10 Provost, The Canopy by Hilton, Haus 25, and a bunch of others rise all around me. I’ve lost track of all the names of the new places here. I think this is my last year in JC so I’m sure in a few years time I won’t recognize this place at all.

It’s a damn shame what was done to the other Provost building, that poor thing was murdered. I’m very curious how the developer got away with tearing down so much of that building unless it wasn’t landmarked.

Isn’t it the same developer as The One? Those assholes tore up the pocket park next to them before having approvals to do so. In a rare feat, the city actually fined them (125K, iirc) for doing so. Still, they dragged their feet on restoring the park and did a piss poor job in the engineering of the dog park. No different than Mocco adding floors to his latest buildings and then paying a smallish fine to make it all go away.
