Mack-Cali is unveiling more details about its plans to modernize the Harborside Terminal.

The $75 million overhaul — which started with the transformation of the Harborside Atrium into an events space — will include revamping the building’s lobbies and internal passageways, installing a new ferry terminal with direct access to the WTC and Hudson Yards, and giving Harborside’s office buildings a complete makeover both on the exterior and interior with new floor-to-ceiling glass and steel to increase natural light and provide better views of neighboring New York City.

Foodies should also take note because Mack-Cali’s plans include overhauling the current food court into a massive food hall called The Marketplace. The Marketplace will consist of kiosks that will be leased to a rotating roster of local vendors.

We’ve already seen signs of that with the debut of pop-ups from Whealth Cafe, Tidal Poké, and the Lutze Biergarten. Spearheading the Marketplace initiative is also Piggyback Bar, the soon-to-open restaurant by Top Chef alum and Pig & Khao owner, Leah Cohen. New dining tables and chairs will also be installed along the entire strip of the waterfront esplanade.

The Marketplace will help usher in a new era for Harborside making it a dining destination not just for your weekday lunch, but for dinner and weekends as well.

In a nutshell, the Harborside/Exchange Place area is going to give Grove Street some major competition when it comes to food, nightlife, and things to do in Jersey City.

  1. The other article I read did not have this rendering…
    It is nice to have a quiet walk way since everything is so bustling.

    • I’m sure there will still be room for dog walkers, runners, etc. It’ll be nice to see it come alive. Such an amazing view and location.
